And the data centers created from this initiative will be net positive for the environment and communities, right? Right?

yes, because climate change simulations will become cheaper.

This has been in the making for 40+ years. It has baffled me the entire time. I don’t understand what air, water and soil the children of the proponents will use.

They care about their own children little more than they care about yours.

YT served up the Zodiac video to me a few days ago, too. Interesting stuff!

I was monitoring the linux kernel mailing list when this happened. Wild times. It seemed then that something special was happening.

Still using my Speed Queen washer and dryer. Bought 30 years ago. You’ve given me confidence to try to fix it when it stops working. Thanks!

What country is this? That’s nuts!

Do you have two of them?

Seven, if you can believe it! She is the only crimson bellied conure.

I have a peach front conure, two green cheeks, a meyers, a senegal, and a half-meyers-half-senegal. Quite the flock.

Their bonds are criss crossed. The bird laying an egg is peaceful to everyone but not hard bonded. So it is... weird that she is laying an egg, lol.


Why is this bizarre? And the dead person doesn't "owe" anyone. The dead person paid into the fund, which is what pays people.

The dead person paid other dead people that died before them, why would that establish a debt from me to them? If the dead person got their SS back from the even deader people before them that they previously paid, I'd agree they were merely paid back what they paid into them.

People are legally required to pay into the fund to pay for a legally guaranteed benefit. The mechanics of the program are immaterial. If the program doesn’t pay for the benefit they were promised, after taking their money, that’s theft.

You could argue that you shouldn’t have to pay for social security. But hopefully you aren’t arguing that you shouldn’t have to pay and prior payers should get screwed. Any exit to social security should ensure that the previous bargain is upheld, somehow, given the forced participation and the number of people who have planned their retirement around it.


Like a voiceover from a Terminator-like movie.

People are dying from recreational Xanax because it’s more and more cut with fent.
