Fuck you Larry.

Alice Walton, one of the owners of Walmart "while speeding in Fayetteville, Ark., she struck and killed Oleta Hardin, a 50-year-old cannery worker. She never received so much as a ticket. "

I also choose this man’s dead wife.

Russia uses nukes in Ukraine to “win” the war. Now they control land that has large swaths that are completely unlivable and non-productive for farming. And the “livable” parts Russia would have to spend huge sums of money to re-build the infrastructure from the blast(s).

Even if the rest of the world let’s them get away with that (which I doubt they would) it doesn’t seem like a very good strategy.

I think this company has few different teams that work on the problem from different angles

Some are on the boats in the Pacific some are building interceptors in rivers in countries that are the largest producers of waste that makes it to the ocean. Of course they can’t fix the problem just slow it down. The fix comes from these countries changing how they allow garbage to be collected and stored.

Capitalism that is bounded by strong regulations that are consistently and fairly enforced by government (the people) entities isn’t that bad.

It’s when those regulations get watered down or just removed in the name of “freedom” that we get what we have now.

Maybe, but really when you are in bear territory, and close to areas where bear congregate (rivers being one), just a few loud claps and a couple of loud “HEYS” is good enough to flush most bears.

This video while long does a great job teaching you how to act in active bear territory.

The TLDW is: -

• In active bear territory carry bear spray and be ready to use it
• You can’t out run a bear don’t try
• bear bells don’t work
• playing dead makes it easier for the bear to maul you
• when hiking with a group and encounter an aggressive bear stand shoulder to shoulder and prepare your bear spray
• let the bear decide how they want to leave the encounter (if they are not attacking you)
• outside of a momma bear, most “attacks” are bluffs but can be scary as shit.
• guns work but you better be a good and quick shot cuz bears run fast and are very intimidating doing so
• a gun shot can help scare away most bears

Kinda shows what kind of person she is.

I’ve dealt with this too from an anti-vaxxer. It’s really frustrating when you can’t even agree on a common source for the data being discussed.

With this person, every source I told them I got my information from was wrong or biased - yet that same rebuttal from me about their sources were loudly talked over and/or the goal posts were moved.

I think the four part series called The West by Ken Burns is shorter and probably better.

I mean, if we genuinely had a significant amount of local, state and federal law makers that cared about protecting their constituents instead of whatever the fuck they are doing now, we could have some accountability.

Yes. but those people that lose their jobs wouldn’t have to stress about either paying for or using healthcare - This freedom can give many people the opportunity to do something they love (or like to do). Maybe that is starting a new business or creating a new product? Or they could go work in a different industry that they find more fulfilling where previous they couldn’t because of the lack of health benefits.

I think in the long run the people that lose their job grinding away in a huge faceless health insurance job might actually be a good thing for them?

I’m a little biased but I do look down on men that lack any handyman skills

That is a lot biased to the point that you can’t even see that other men’s lives may have put them in a position of not learning those things or even wanting to learn those things. It’s great that you know how to do those things but just because someone has a penis doesn’t mean they have to learn how to be handy. That doesn’t make them any less of a man, just different from you.

That is true it is a big part of society and how to get along, and you would think that because this is one of the foundations of this society it would be a bigger part of someone’s education. This shouldn’t be something people should have to figure out on their own in order to feed themselves and their family

One semester of Schmooze 101 could go along way in helping an awkward yet brilliant scientist get the funding they need.

Yeah but people and corporations would have to change and that’s too difficult instead we should do something easy like colonize another planet. /s

That’s part of it but the deeper question is why are people more sedentary? Why do people eat more often?

What is it about our society that promotes eating more processed foods?

My feelings are that food for many people is a sedative for a stressful life. Sugar is a great drug to make you feel good temporarily.

Then there is very little quality education around good nutrition and cooking in the US. Most people just take what the learned from their parents and go with it. And if their parents weren’t food smart then they probably will not be either.

there is a lot more to the obesity epidemic than just “stop eating so much”

Democrats fall in love , Republicans fall in line.

I would guess some are. I would guess some are left leaning and some would be independent, middle of the road people.

Just like every other generation before and after Gen X. But big broad brush statements makes arguing on the Internet easier.
