Hey, the second one is Lake Illinois now!

This is a very interesting concept. They would have to be born in order to be a (natural born) citizen I think. But, it should still work because the census is required to count residents not citizens

ED can be a long term symptom of traumatic brain injury. TBI is super common for anyone deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan

The point of bringing up the treaty is just to point out that the result of the situation you are describing was so scary that for about 30 years the 2 biggest nuclear powers agreed not to do it. That is all to say that one answer to your question is " US and Russia pretty much saw your scenario resulting in inevitable full scale nuclear war"

US and Russia used to have a treaty against either country developing anti-ballistic missiles. The idea was that if 1 party trusted their ABMs too much, they would no longer care about a counter attack, and that would undermine the MAD doctrine.

Flat earth confirmed!

Does this mean it’s antisemitic to deport foreigners?

Doritos and cottage cheese

There’s always an xkcd. After seeing the one in 2017, I could not believe how many people would not listen to me about how much they needed to be there for the 2024 one. “Yeah, i can see 90% at my house. It’ll be close enough”. No!!! No it won’t!

ABC agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit that they could have easily won. Apparently, they thought it would be better to just give Trump money than it would be to piss him off by fighting it.

I really loved police academy. Rewatched it recently with our late teen kids-wow, does it have some racial and queer jokes that made us all very uncomfortable. the rest is still gold though.

Porque no los dos?

On Wednesday in Miami, Trump said federal workers should “show up to work in person like the rest of us,”

That sounds about right

Minority? I don’t know.

Do you understand the needs and desires of my 17 yo child better than I do? Definitely not!

As a parent, will I be consulting you when making decisions about what procedures to allow? No, fuck off. I’ll stick with the doctors, psychologists, and my child. Together, we’ll figure out what makes sense for us. The government doesn’t need to be involved.

That’s rough. Thanks for sharing. It sucks that there are people like that who are just looking to exploit others. I hope that you’ve found some better friends since then and are getting the support that you need.
