He’s now a QAnon nut.

I was just thinking that I hadn't heard much about Qanon lately, that maybe it had been fading out. No?

Ex presidents get protection as much because they are a security risk as for their own safety.

Lots of people have relationships where they never live together, and see each other a few times a week. They go along like this for years, decades even. I knew one pair that didn't even live in the same country. What I think you want is a relationship but not a live-in partner. Just make sure you are dating people who want the same kind of relationship as you do, basically a permanent long distance relationship.

To be honest, I agree with you that it is speculation, and also that I tend to agree with the speculation. It's important to note when something is speculative.

I appreciate your close and literal reading of that study. This was new news to me so I looked a bit further. STATnews and others seem to think it was the various lockdown protocols.

B/Yamagata viruses haven’t been detected anywhere in the world since late March 2020, when Covid pandemic lockdowns and social distancing appeared to have halted circulation of this family of lineage of flu B.

If voting doesn't do the job, our democracy is lost.

In a forum for reasoned argumentation, yours is merely inflammatory with shitty grammar and no factual information. Blocking.

Not only does the comparison predate the covid pandemic, it also says nothing in particular about Trump. Some people think the economy would have done great under him, some don't, and some think other things are more important than just the economy. Still, there is no comparison to Trump here, there is only something showing that we've done better under Biden than many countries have done with their economies and leaders.

That was a great simple explanation, thank you. I've certainly made some adjustments, and was thinking about it yesterday while shopping. Paper supplies have gotten so very expensive that I've (finally) purchased cloth napkins to use both for napkins and for smaller kitchen clean up jobs. I'll be using less paper, and more water for laundry. I'm estimating 1-2 loads worth of napkins per month. Pretty sure it will be both cheaper and more environmentally friendly than paper towels.

Thank you for posting this. I've put it on my FB page (very tiny, family and close friends only). My Bernie loving friends who won't vote for Biden because he's too conservative or whatever need to see it. And my conservative family members who consider themselves trump loving patriots need to understand the consequences. I captioned it "If you believe in democracy, please vote to support it."

If we're going to keep Trump from a 2nd term, each of us needs to do what we can to convince all our friends and family to vote in support of democracy.

I hate tipping culture so much. But I always tip on food service, even take out that I pick up. I'm not going to punish restaurant workers for our messed up system which pays them substandard "wages". During covid crisis I raised my tipping $ a bit, and haven't gone back down. Before covid I also tipped 10% on take out. Because I wanted my favorite restaurants to stay in business, I started tipping 20% for take out.
