Don't forget posting small excerpts of larger works that completely miss the larger meaning in favor of a modern political agenda.

It's the Star of David, used by Jews for millennia and the symbol on the flag of Israel. Of course I'm familiar with its use in the Holocaust.

Donning a Jew star in the UN?

Sorry, this is bad how?

Regardless, I'm glad they are being open about this. I use 1password, so I want to know absolutely anything that could be a threat, especially after the debacle with LastPass.

There's a quote from P.J. O'Rourke that illustrates the point well:

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.

A central tenant of the Democratic Party is that government can be a force for good and should be run well. Republicans try to tear the government down, especially at the federal level. The party as a whole doesn't care nearly as much about good governance principles, though there are of course exceptions.

Oh, Br’er Musk, I don’t care what you do with me, so long as you just don’t throw me in that briar patch over there.

Holy crap, I was just reading his Wikipedia page. He is such a piece of shit. His wife died of cancer in May 1968. Her doctor had told him, not her, of the diagnosis in 1961 and he kept it secret from her. I knew about the segregation stuff, but that is just the shit frosting on the shit cake.

I get the point you're trying to make, but it wouldn't be at all out of character.

Freaks deserve better than to be associated with these... entities.

We all know what "Make America Great Again" means.

If you have access to one, it's worth learning how to. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to learn. 35 is by no means too late (I'm 36 without a license), but it's also worth not waiting much more.

I don't have a car but I could afford one. It's getting more and more tempting to get one. My husband and I are our mid 30's and we all too often rely on friends and family for a lift. It feels likes like we're not so much car free as carless.
