"All of this, if true, does raise a nagging question for Thiel and company: 'What did you expect?'"
They didn't expect the leopard to eat *their* faces.
**RARE SERIOUS POST**
If you know someone who has recently lost a family member, friend, or loved one (pets included), reach out to that person TODAY and tell them theyβre on your mind. Offer to hang out, no agenda. Buy them coffee, sit with them, listen. Go fishing, sit with them, listen. Go to the museum, sit with them, listen. Spend time with them. Listen. Whatever works for them, but let them know they have support.
Birth control is on their target list. It isn't about babies, it's about controlling women.
Study finds fewer US pregnancies in 2015 than in 2009 which led to fewer abortions. One reason is the availability of birth control, with the Affordable Care Act requiring it to be free.

How many times have we been told that if we don't have an athletic body then we don't have a beautiful body? Let's stop feeding those lies. I won't have the athletic body, but I do have the freedom to be happy with the body I have and enjoy it.

By accident of birth, I am a Boomer. I try to keep up with the world though and stay woke, but I probably am as blind about peopleβs struggles as any of us and I graduated from college without much student debt and a useless BFA in Drawing and Painting. Iβve always however been poor. Please be gentle with me when Iβm blind to my privileges and kindly point them out to me. #BoomerCringe #woke and proud #oldlady #selfimprovement
45βs Rape Trial Goes From One Disaster to Another https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-rape-trial-goes-from-one-disaster-to-another?via=ios
My first poll will be a real-world ethics question, posed because of a disagreement between the spouse and I. We were walking and came upon a homeless guy holding a sign asking for money. I gave him some money as we walked by. Spouse said he'd seen drug paraphernalia in HG's backpack, and I shouldn't have given money - it would just go for drugs. I don't think it's my business where it goes, once it leaves my hands. What say you all?
Boost, please, I really am curious to see what people think.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
