I think that her advisers are telling her that it’s a land mine and just don’t go down that road. Don’t touch it. So far it hasn’t hurt her in the polls, but if you see a drop, I expect her to drop the guy like a container of yogurt left in a car in Texas for 8 hours…

It’s funny to think that someone’s 12 year old is trash talking him as we speak.

Watched it in a theater. Entertaining enough. I don't regret watching it.

I agree it’s out of line. Nice people viewing affirmation as an act of kindness rather than a psychosocial intervention potentially subject to iatrogenic harm. And one that puts them on a path often leading to chemical sterilization and lifetime medicalization. But it’s not clear to me what effect the 2024 election has had on the number of districts that do that.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Nobel Peace Prize Laureate is….: @jon-nyc said in Nobel Peace Prize Laureate is….: I hope he is truly saddened when he finds out. I hope it reopens all the wounds he has about never being accepted by the cool kids. He could still win the Economics Nobel for his innovations involving tariffs. That would be novel.

It’s up 60% since Trump took office and 18% since August. [image: 1760135376266-img_8211.jpeg]

I need to go into one at some point.

How come the predator is black?

An incredible burden. My sister is in a similar boat. Has to live in a group home, but hard to know what'll happen when my parents pass who are her default guardians. I know me and my brothers will step in. She's age 38 now, and she lived with them until about age 32... imagine living with someone who wets the bed every night, up at 4am, can't go to restaurants or trips, has a consumption issue where she'll drink a bottle of mouth wash or swallow batteries because, who knows. I was very nervous when we were having our 3rd. Growing up with a sibling with special needs, I honestly don't think I could do it again, it's beyond exhausting. If I ever won a billion dollars, my charity of choice would be to provide resources and relief for dedicated parents carrying that extra special burden for decades.

So you get someone who is performing worse? Browning was starting to show his old form toward the end of the Detroit game. We've also been playing very tough defenses.

I wonder if there’s a little side eye cast at the first guy to stop clapping.

@jon-nyc said in Where’s the thread about the judge who’s house was burned or bombed?: @Horace Investigation is ongoing. Surely you will wait until all the information is in before making any judgements. I, on the other hand, judge the house fire to be bad and the injuries sustained by the family members to be sad. These investigations can take months - or even years. While we can draw no judgements within our lifetimes, we should always keep in the forefront of our minds that it is theoretically possible that a Maga special forces unit descended on the home in the middle of the day to set fire to it in retaliation for the judge's anti-Trump rulings. She wasn't there - a fatal flaw in the plan - but other than that, the mission was a smashing success, in how little evidence they left of their assault. When discussing this situation, we must always lead with that possibility, in order to remain fair and intellectually honest.

The writer of the piece helpfully gives some personal insight. all I can say is that I’ve had a few moments like this, not when I thought I might die, but when I knew I was about to die (but didn’t), and all I can say is it’s not how you think it would be. There is no fear, or anger, or bitterness, not even terror. There’s only acceptance. There’s no fight. There’s only peace. Maybe it’s the chemicals in your head that make you feel this way, but I hope it’s more than that. Reading between the lines, he is indicating that Jesus is real, and that everybody who doesn't believe in Him is going straight to hell.
