If you hang out with sled dogs, you will discover they are the happiest dogs. They go nuts when they get to run or eat, and just chill in their dog houses otherwise.

Governments may remove foreigners. Especially ones who come here to expand their internecine desert tribal rivalries that have no place in American communities.

>> The study was likely designed from the outset without regard to the fundamentals of the scientific method.

Oh yeah, you will definitely need to assume that!

It’s not about blood libel or attribution of evil. But even trans people acknowledge that transness is comorbid with other personality disorders.

The asset has not moved outside the family, has not been sold, no profit on sale has been realized.

You think a profit transfer has been made, because you think in terms of atomized individuals with no family.

What is this “it” that might “lose”? A country is a homeland for a people. Democracy is an abstraction. “It” cannot fight or “lose” against the people of the nation. The people exist. Democracy is simply rule by a majority of those people.

My theory on Trump supporters is that they want to stop migration, reshore manufacturing, and redistribute power and influence away from D.C.

Any theory you have that treats normal American citizens as some sort of ‘other’ is just hatred that has been sold to you.

Weird that you think so highly of free thought, when your goal is to replace all cultures with one thought.

Heat pumps are nice and efficient, but expensive to build and reliant on grid. Makes you more dependent and at the exact moment things get bad - during a weather emergency. Nobody, especially in NY state, should be without a fuel- burning heater.

This is surprising. I don’t agree.

Brave is more ethical. Firefox is just a vassal Google. And it is run by San Francisco bugmen.

Houses arent retail businesses. They are your home. The citizens of a community have an absolute right to control the direction of their community - and aspirational transplants have no right at all.

A software toggle is not reassuring. There needs to be no physical component at all that can allow access by anyone that isn’t me, physically present, with my ass in the seat.

People are opposed to being forced into injections of experimental mRNA.

Very few people were ever opposed to the standard-type vaccines we have been using for 100 years.

That is why the vast majority of people are happy to vaccinate themselves against polio and tetanus, but only 2% of people were interested in the latest Pfizer booooster experiment.

I would suggest against making up imaginary enemies.

A lunch counter cannot limit its customers- it is a public space. But a global peer-to-peer communication platform is NOT a public space. Curious.
