i was in taekwondo as a kid. I was really good, imo. I competed at the national level and won several medals. But I still routinely got my ass handed to me on a silver platter by the women/girls I trained with whenever we'd spar.
housing used to be affordable. I've seen the value of the modest house i grew up in increase in value after my parents sold it so much that I can't afford to even think about buying it now that i'm the age they were when they bought it. and it looks like the new owners have let it go to shit.
if you start it out in a cold pan and gradually work the heat up, you'll be able to render a lot of the fat out while also getting a nice crisp on the outside. You can then conserve the fat for cooking with later, it makes for a great roux.
It's fishing, just not sport fishing. It's like saying that NASCAR is responsible for pollution. Yeah, not technically wrong, but a drop in the bucket comparatively.
TBH, i can't tell the difference between right wing religious fundamentalists anymore. He could be one of those crazy christian cultists, mormon, one of the religous fundamentalist muslim sects or some other religion i don't care to know about.
15 years ago i couldn't go for a run without getting a bunch of cluster flies in my teeth and eyes. now, i hardly see them anymore. and not just because i don't run as often.
I think 28% of the population belongs in the lgbtq+ spectrum. a lot of older people were closeted, or actually unaware of their own sexuality. Younger people might just have an easier time coming out about it.
also, less and less young people are right leaning as the years go by, and the republican brand will be irredeemably tarnished for all future generations as the party of literal fascism, so get ready for even less of a share of future generations voting R.
goddamn. i live in western europe and i have to spend upwards of 100 euro just to go for a 3 hour train trip. i have to spend 500 for a yearly transit pass to get around my (relatively small) city.
Don't forget that global climate change has really kicked into gear the last few years. Just 10 years ago, summer in Arizona was terrible, but you wouldn't get third degree burns from falling on the ground. The polar vortex is getting all screwed up, causing severe cold in winter on one half of the northern hemisphere while the other half experiences very very mild winter weather. global weather phenomena are getting more and more severe, and still the people who actually can effect change on large scale are loathe to do so because it would hurt their bottom line. Hell in a hand basket would be an apt descriptor for where we're going and how we're getting there.
