I'm not generally the type for this kind of meaningless comment, but it is just so perfectly apropos, I present the following statement:
womp womp
Volkswagen used forced labor from concentration camps. I don't think there's any way to argue that a company built upon human suffering isn't evil - or at least wasn't at the time.
The Autobahn was built using forced labor of re-education camps, prisoners of war, prison inmates, and Jews from concentration camps. If the Wright Brothers made the first powered flight in an aircraft built of human flesh from murdered victims, nobody sane would be celebrating their achievement.
There is NOTHING honorable about causing harm to others so you can have more for yourself.
This is the best primer over ever found on the topic

Same. Lost a very good friend because I was too slow to change, lost my family because I did.
77% of national flags contain red.
...Which is a bit disturbing because it is generally used to refer to bloodshed or might in battle - partially in a "let's honor the past" sort of way, but mostly in a "don't fuck with us" sort of way.

This sounds like something Leslie Knope would call Ann Perkins.
Because being poor, uneducated, and unloved with a chip on your shoulder makes you a likely Republican voter. I would bet the whole farm that unwanted children are far more likely to grow up to vote Republican, and I think that's one of the primary reasons they fight against abortion, and any other policies that increase education and security for children.
A sealed casket is buoyant. If a cemetery is flooded, caskets, especially of the recently deceased with disturbed soil, are known to rise through the soil and then dump their contents (bodies) into the floodwaters.
I did a thing a couple years ago where I dropped about $500 buying every style of boxer brief that looked appealing or had a strong fanbase. I tried saxx, Duluth, all citizens, meundies, bn3th, Mac Weldon, Lululemon, Tommy John, separatec, and probably a few others.
All Citizens are my winner overall - the BN3TH are also really nice - I actually like their cuts and design better, but the materials don't hold up nearly as well as the All Citizens. All Citizens are also much better value, IMO.
For the All Citizens, I'm specifically talking about their Paradise Pocket boxer briefs. My legs are proportionally beefy in comparison to my waist, so it's also nice that All Citizens offer an "Athletic Fit" option that keeps the legs from being overly tight. Just snug enough not to ride up without pinching or leaving a visible line visible through pants.
I still don't understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.
She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn't be a problem.
It's so baffling.
Nah, don't give him, or his voters that credit. Motherfucker has been this dumb his whole life.

He's got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.
Thinks he's a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.
Camping, traveling, hiking and going places that are enjoyable and accessible with my wife and dogs.
Gardening / homesteading in such a way to live as self-sufficiently as possible.
My way I want to give back in retirement is working as a volunteer urban/wildland canine search and rescue team.
I train my dogs in scent/detection sports and tracking now so I'm prepared to understand how to do the real deal once I have time to volunteer in retirement. My current job is in a related field, so I already have many of the other skills and certifications that would be needed, but I don't work with dogs for my job.
If I need extra income in retirement, I'll probably get into offering dog training for detection/tracking.
This article is from January and a quick search didn't yield anything newer.

The Cybertruck isn't instead on the "2024 American Made index," so we probably can only go on whatever Tesla is claiming at the moment, though it does seem likely that it will be at or near the top of the ranking for most American trucks of next year's list.
Leader of a gang responsible for a sizeable portion of the evil shit that has happened in world history says people should think about supporting someone who is less evil.
Okay, guess your followers should switch to Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Atheism, or any other of a big handful of less-evil -isms to choose from than Catholicism.
Well the polls, surveys, questionnaires and polls; that's not got much polls in it.
