@george-k said in 9% American White Males:

According to numbers provided by the University, fewer than nine percent of them (129 out of the 1498) are white American males.

I wouldn't attend a school that had less 37% white American males.

That would be racist.

Racist

@lufins-dad said in I wonder how the non-GMO crowd:

The science shows that GMO foods are safe and healthier than non-GMO https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23395/genetically-engineered-crops-experiences-and-prospects

GMO foods have likely saved more lives than the vaccines will over time.

So why accept one genetically modified solution and reject another.

Science says both are safe.

Because in agriculture the modified genes spread. You can't grow a field of GMO corn and not see those genes start to show up in adjacent farns.

BTW, what does it say about The Senile Man, when he's closed the Capitol, but opened the Border?

@xenon said in Speaking of the evils of the internet...:

@doctor-phibes We watch a TON of youtube in our house.

Mostly the same nursery rhymes... over... and over... and over....

🤣 I should think so.

Oh we didn’t do NC yet. That’s memorial day.

It’s the last day of a 12 day spring break though. The boy and I did go to six flags and spent two nights in a hotel with a buddy of mine and his sons.

It felt pretty normal. Also went to indoor restaurants and a bowling alley/arcade with the boys at night.

@george-k said in John Boehner on How the GOP Went to Looneyville:

Orange man comments on orange man.

Specific to orange man, there is this:

Boehner says Trump “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bullshit he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.” Mr. Boehner writes, “He claimed voter fraud without any evidence, and repeated those claims, taking advantage of the trust placed in him by his supporters and ultimately betraying that trust.”

@jolly said in Trump may hang a skin on the wall.:

Trump got 33% of the latino vote.

That's about 98% in Trump numbers.

Sort of along those lines, remember the "Shithole Countries" outrage?

Yeah.

Well, it seems that President Unity just said that 10% of the population of the United States either need to "smarten up" or have "Neanderthal thinking."

If you include Delaware, NY and Colorado, that number jumps to 20%.

Dog-faced pony soldier.

@doctor-phibes said in The Ruined Generation:

I made a promise when I was young that I would never start going on about how awful the young are when I got old. I'd never go on about how in my day we made our own entertainment, and how whatever it was that replaced TV isn't a patch on watching freaking Scooby Doo at 5 o'clock after we walked home from school in our underwear because we couldn't afford to catch the bus.

I'm not having it. When I was 15 I spent most of my available free time smoking behind the bush shelter, drinking hard cider on golf courses and generally being a little shit.

The people who spent their lives in church may have had different experiences. Bloody boring ones, most likely, which is why they're complaining now.

It's like were related or something. Scary actually. lol

@horace said in Who dis?:

Kon Tiki

A wonderful book, as well. The author, Thor Heyerdahl, was the man who organized and said the Kon-Tiki. His nephew (I believe) is Chris Heyerdahl. Chris played "The Swede" in Hell on Wheels.

It's also a decent, but not great, movie. Gustaf Skarsgård (Floki) is in it.
