I think it is a bad thing no matter what. Sounds like it was an accident, so even if it was Peter Theil, that woman has to live with that.

Just want to clarify, what she did was not okay on any level. Phones in the console; eyes on the road people. But it is still a bad day when you realize you took somebody’s life because you were irresponsible. At least, I assume for most people.

Alright, but even full-size it does look a bit like him.

Skin sloughs off naturally and requires no scrubbing. It isn’t nasty dead skin, just dead skin; no big deal. Get some dirt off, maybe excess but not all oils off, and you’re good.

My doc just recommended a book, Ultraprocessed People. Guessing I am about to have much stronger feelings on the topic as I learn more about it.

I really hope he grows and shows some real contrition about it. It would take time to convince me, but I really hope he just didn’t think it through. Such a bummer.

Awesome. Huge Far Side fan. She was so cool. I’m not surprised at all how she responded.

I think they’re comically changing alleged to aged.

Yeah, definitely talking about Iraq. Here is Hitch talking about it.

Less of a “cap”; more of a “max fill line”.

I’m trying to envision a scenario that would warrant the arrest and I just can’t. Maybe you can contrive one for us. Loud music or bare feet, and I’m all for it; to the gallows. But sitting wrong? What?

Yes, but they don’t own it. Territory has to be used and protected. Ownership has some implication that even if no longer used, it is still “mine” and not the community’s. IDK, tough to see what could be as that branch in the development of civilization is so far back. Rutger Bregman has a segment about this in Humanity.

I think land ownership itself is one of the big mistakes we made as a species.

Zero? I envy your optimism.

OMG! I forgot about that picture. I’d love to see what each did with their half.

How are Beanie Babies doing?

Wealth inequality is higher. Education is waning. Food security is a big problem. Limiting access to guns is a solution but it isn’t the root issue for sure.

They held mock elections in schools and it seems the far right party is extremely popular with young folks. Troubling how fascism rises so quickly.

Solid advice to avoid drinking any alcohol, even the really tasty stuff.

True, some people made that money back. But crucially, some didn’t. Partly due to market fears causing sales of positions and partly because they just had to retire in that window or because their annuity was invested poorly for those conditions. Some people did get wrecked and not always because they messed up.

But yeah, some people are doing well. More yet in the older age groups as you point out. I’m just saying the problem is more directly linked to class than generation. People need to increase class consciousness if the end is ever to be in view. A poor 50 year old is sinking in the same leaky boat as a poor 20 year old.

But a ton of these people got completely obliterated is 2008 too. My point isn’t there aren’t rich people, it’s that there are poor in each generation and the wealth gap is increasing across demographics, even if not uniformly.
