I have been in situations that were isolated in one way or another (of course not as dangerous as the military or anything like that). But, because there wasnt any "outside" distractions, we had to bond with each other. Some great memories and great life long friends were made during those times.

Now imagine some truly resourceful families rig the system such that their kids only go into that sort of situations with the kids from the right families.

Now imagine...Covers a lot of insignificant ground, doesn't it? 😏

For Ax, yeah.

The "Person of Color Theme House" is a housing co-op located near UC Berkeley that "aims to provide housing to low-income, first generation, immigrant and marginalized students of color," according to its website.

A Nigerian immigrant kid would have more in common with the white kids than they would with inner city kids trying to adjust to UC Berkeley.

@Horace said in Cool story bro:

yeah, I figure this state will fall apart after I leave. I feel bad about that.

You'll get over it quickly, I'm sure.

I plan to feel feelings about the state I used to live in, at least until I drive over the Arizona state line on my way to Texas. Maybe for several miles after that.

@jon-nyc said in Pravda would be proud:

As opposed to “Bidenflation”, which might still win the Economics Nobel.

That's standard tribal wordplay. This narrative about lower gas prices is like a children's book about economics, except this children's book teaches dumb ideas in an infantile way. Most children's books teach good ideas in an infantile way.

That's a big freaking fence.

Three probabilities for Cheney:

She is rewarded for her committee performance by a cabinet posting on a sinking Biden ship. It will be essentially meaningless, but it's a resume builder. She runs for office in Virginia, probably Northern Virginia or even possibly governor in that next election (govs only serve one term in VA) cycle. Trump wins the GOP nomination in 2024. Some of daddy's buddies fund a run as an independent for The Lizard, as she siphons votes off of Trump and insures his defeat.

It bodes ill for beloved ponzi schemes like Social Security.

The only reason we still have it - and it's not really cable, it's inhouse wifi streaming - is to get local channels.

@LuFins-Dad said in Gary Busey charged with sex crimes:

Too bad she was 16…

Age of consent in Joisey is 16. That doesn't make it not a sex crime, but it makes it not a pedo case.

@LuFins-Dad said in The Red Pill:

On the other hand, I don’t think the Republicans win the Senate, and I think the House lead will not be more than 20 seats.

Long time until November.

Skillz elevated to grace and artistry! 👍 👍

There is a lot like that that can and is done for indigent patients. Universal coverage addicts never want to acknowledge the huge amount of free or very low cost care that is provided on a daily basis. I think where we get into difficulty is with the working poor.

Mr. Biden said it.

You don't believe him?

Done. Thank you.

haha

read (or see the movie) In the heart of the sea,

That's a great book. PHilbrick does a hell of a job telling the story.

Cheaper than chicken.

Yeah, bit they're only about 20 cm long, so you need a lot them, since there's not much meat.
