Looks likes someone stumbled upon some sweet vintage p0rn and then got a little jealous.

The reason the Ivermectin thing took off among the right wing kooks is because they needed something to stand out and be noticed. The whole dogma of that world is to be a victim and pretend you know the real truth and everybody else is lying. They are the modern day flat earthers. The more you speak out against them the firmer their stand is. It's a world of grifters and they have the gullible roped in.

every single light i am stopped at, if I am in my truck, I look around and half the people are playing on their phones. pay attention now to when the light turns green and it takes longer for everyone to pass through. Because 2 or 3 of the people in line are looking at their phone and don't notice the light turns green.

@pfife for you.

I think it was but post MAGA I don’t think so.

occassionally the the priest at mass will venture into "taboo" topics but I know from conversations and social media that half the people listening are silently rolling their eyes. I guess you could say it was "easy" to go and experience things. Didn't require anything. The things I did do were out of service because I enjoyed it and saw it as serving the community as much of a church. Being involved allowed me to see the real benefit to doing these things for people who needed it.

well then she should know!

they know they are lying and being hypocrites and their supporters know that too. It simply doesn't matter anymore. As long as that person's side is winning. The argument made before doesn't matter to the argument made today. Our political world is a new thing now. Old rules don't apply.

are other teams experiencing similar, of not as much, injury issues? I won't discount a rushed spring training.

So did mine but it wasn't clear whether it was from covid or the vaccine. I got my first boost in mid Oct and gave blood in mid March. I'll get another one as soon as they let me.

It is sad that the Catholic Church hasn't effectively dealt with their history. It's a large organization and those things move at a snail's pace. But individually a parish can be a remarkable thing. I'm not catholic but my wife is and we've raised our kids in the church and I still go with her. I've coached sports teams all through that time. We have a church festival, or did, before the pandemic. There is a real sense of community. We had a co ed softball team. We have a food pantry to serve the community. A scouting program. In a lot of ways they make people feel welcome and everything is fine. It was certainly a million times better than the fundamentalist church I grew up in. There's nothing creepy about my experiences. In the other church I always had this uneasy feeling that I was about to be led to a sales pitch of some sort. Always loaded questions.

I kid you not, some of them drug test their adult children for pot.

I'm of the age now where our kids have graduated HS and you'd be surprised how many of the helicopter parents who were Karens and the emptiness they now feel as their kids are out free. A few of those kids struggled, like many others do as well, in college, because mom wasn't there to look over their shoulder for every assignment and detail.

My son says "Nashville is Atlanta for white people" It is a growing city for sure.

Nashville, from what I hear now, is nothing but a bunch of name branded country music restaurants with rooftop bars and downtown is overrun by bachelorette parties. I haven't been there since 2013. if its still open you must go to the Ernest Tubb record shop and do the Ryman Auditorium tour.

I don't think it's nefarious. Just overly cautious news directors who don't want to get flooded by an extremely small batch of Karens who didn't want their little snowflake kids to see that.

6-5 going into the 3rd. Can’t stay to. 5:15 comes early.

To be an anti Vaxxer and pro ivermectin requires dual levels of crazy.

For me in the beginning of the 90s the black crowes was all there was for current straight up blues based rock and roll on the radio. Grunge was still kind of niche and it’s own thing. I heard it said that the blackest white guy used to be Peter Wolf then it became Chris Robinson.

“Ivermectin is FDA approved therefore we can use it as toothpaste” is not now medicine works

that's the point. Screw it up then say "Ok... the legislature has to cast the EC votes". This is a trial run to... get it wrong.

Drugs can have different uses. Just beause something is authorized doesn't mean it's authorized for everything. Reminds me of a common misconception that insurance covers Viagra. It can. If used to treat heart conditions, which was the original intent. If your doctor prescribes for that then insurance will cover it. If you want to get for erectile dysfunction then insurance won't cover it. Anecdotes is not data. Some people got covid, drank some coca cola, and felt better. Doesn't mean it was from the coca cola. Some people got covid, drank coffee, and died. Doesn't mean coffee killed them.

It's a shame that Robert Forster died. The BCS facebook page made a point to give us a picture of Howard and saying Blue looks good on him. Blue can mean bad things for people.

A significant number believe that scenario is God's will and should be supported.... that if she's a Christian she's better off.

No it wouldn’t. The GOP would still not be satisfied. They are barely going along with any exceptions for “life” of the mother, if at all, let alone health of the mother . They think health is too broad of a term. You know…, life is risky. Don’t want to take a risk? Don’t have sex. Don’t fight God’s will. That’s what they really think.
