I have a three year loan at 1.9%. Why would I cough up an additional $20k now, when I could hang on to my cash and, at the very least, leave it in an account that earns twice that (and then some) in interest?

Say what you will about RFK, but he’s broken clock right on a couple of issues, pesticides being one of them. Sure, maybe his rationale isn’t right, but his end game may be a benefit. Unfortunately it’s at odds with Trump’s complete destruction of regulation, but he (RFK) seems to be chugging along. I think making America healthy is good; I don’t think pesticides or ultra processed foods make kids transgender.

Ha, I told a joke in middle school and they had to call the police, so I feel ya. It was 25 years ago.

How about humor?

Are you from the generation of email chain letters that asked you to scroll down and it’s be neat ASCII designs?

Scrolled far too long to find even a mention of Zebra. Uniball is the intro to good pens, but Zebra is where you land.

As it should be!

left over spaghetti

!!!

But yeah, there’s that whole thing with blood sugar and leftover pasta, I dunno, I’m not a scientist and I have a bad memory, but it’s basically healthier on day two.

The last thing I want is to make spaghetti and still be hungry after I eat it. Whole box it is.

Poop back and forth, forever.

Nothing wrong with dreaming to be a plumber.

Never try anything!

I was in the Marines and I had to buy some of my shit on my own, so yeah, agree 100%.

I mean, sure, maybe in the ensuing lawsuit they could be like hey, her doctor said it was cool, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a baby being born on an airplane in transit. Nobody wants that, airlines will shut that down, and it’s not discrimination, it’s just a good decision.

I’m curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There’s the obvious difference of birthright that’s an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.

Jus soli is conditional, and doesn’t include hopping on a plane and just visiting a country, the birthing parents have to have established residence in the country. There’s also citizenship granted to children born to parents who are from whichever country it is.

None of these represent what we see in the US. No country in Europe grants automatic citizenship to children born of foreign parents.

Sure they can. “My doctor said I can!” Well, they say you can’t. Why would a doctor’s note get you on an airplane?

Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.

Nailed it on the head. I think also that you need to include that Canada’s relationship vis-a-vis trade with China will be affected by tariffs the US is placing on Canada, and same with Mexico. I think much of everything is from the viewpoint that China is a bigger problem than Russia at the moment. China is also recovering from some economic turmoil, and one way to do so includes expanding their reach, and so the intent is to limit China in other areas.
