Your responses have been extremely unpleasant and argumentative.

Are you confusing my responses with sp3ctr4l?

Money. He could afford lawyers that were able to dive into every possible way of explaining away his crimes in a way that fit the jury’s concept of reasonable doubt. Also by being able to avoid needing to address violence charges that were past the statute of limitations. Harder to sell violence as a way of coercing when you can’t prosecute for it.

Plus he is famous and that frequently allows for less social judgement of crimes.

One or more of the following reasons.

• Cost to dispose of it is greater than zero.
• They or someone they know might need it later.
• They plan on doing something with it, but can’t afford to right now.
• They don’t have a garage or shed to store it in, or they do but those are also full.
• Their backyard has an above ground pool, so no room there.
• They are hoping that someone driving by sees something and makes them an offer.
• They are too overwhelmed working 3 jobs to spend the time and effort to get it cleaned up.

Dreams are just the brain sorting out memories, and they often get jumbled which is why they are generally surreal. I have had friends who were lucid dreamers, they just had more intentional purpose to their memory sorting.

I generally don’t remember dreams, like maybe a few a year. As in waking up occasionally means knowing what I was just dreaming about, and rarely having that stick more than a few minutes.

My most recent memorable dreams were a few weeks ago and involved zombies and the people around me doing the absolute most ridiculous stuff to get themselves bitten. Not scary really, just frustrating. Warched a few zombie movies a few days prior and then had some people around me make boneheaded decisions so I am guessing my brain was sorting those two unrelated things. Don’t remember the details of what the people were doing in the dream, just that it was stupid and resulted in getting bit.

The horrible culture of the US is Sauron. All the racism, exploitation of immigrants, sexism, genocide of the native peoples, colonialism, deepthroating of capitalism, and other terrible aspects of society are what lead to Thiel being who he is.

Hopefully people will price their content out of reach of the bot-scrapers, effectively stopping them.

No matter who he sees himself as, his actions are those of Saruman.

I normally enjoy some fireworks every year, but have zero interest this year.

18 all year round, keeps my junk in place if I toss and turn.

Of course not.

I have been voting against Republicans for nearly 30 years and still have yet to see Dems hit the brakes. They do let off the gas some of the time, and since they are the only ones who have a chance of winning they get the vote by default.

If voting wasn’t so quick and easy where I live it would be difficult to convince myself to put in the effort. It should be this easy everywhere.

Engagement!

Racists watch them because they agree with them. Anti-racists hate watch them to know what the racists are up to.

Even republicans don’t want fascism

Yes they do.

your presumption is that you’d be a better therapist, not a worse one, if you have more shared experiences with the client. that’s not something current evidence supports.

That isn’t something I said or what I meant. Have fun arguing with your strawman.

Who did it better?

NASA did all the work to establish the concept of space flight. NASA is also held to more stringent safety requirements because they are a government agency, which drives up costs. NASA blowing up a rocket on takeoff is seen differently than a private company, which just costs more. Same as medical equipment vs similar non-medical equipment, getting from 99.99% reliable to 99.9999% is a cost multiplier.

Not to mention the cost to send stuff to space via private companies is subsidized by investors. It is a made up number, like all the cab 2.0 company pricing when they first started ignoring laws that applied to cabs.

It isn’t more efficient to do everything privately. It just looks that way if you ignore all the government funded research and investments hiding costs.

Also I’m not talking about communism. I’m just talking about government vs private, and if you can’t wrap your head around that then call it socialist.

Depends on benefits, hours per week, and whether it is a negative for future employment.

Mine is petty, but is due to having an internal voice when I read. When commonly used words are misspelled, like using loose instead of lose, I ‘hear’ it pronounced as spelled and it drives me nuts. Homophones like their and there don’t annoy me nearly as much.

I also mispronounce words learned from reading that don’t follow normal phonetic patterns that I’m used to, like melee, so I do understand why people mix up loose and lose. It is still painful to read.

Or they can’t figure out typos where one letter is just an adjacent key and the sentence makes it obvious.

I’ll bet she continues to vote Republican by focusing on blaming Trump instead of the party whose values he represents. She can say she fell for conservative talking points all she wants, but odds are she will latch on to some single issue crap and explain away why she just can’t vote for Dems because they aren’t perfect or something.

The left needs to motivate the unmotivated, not waste time trying to peel off current or former right wing voters.
