Uncle Clarence is a wildcard in that hand.

That's a pedo in the Epstein files.

Nuke subs just means powered by nuclear. They may or not have nuclear weapons.

American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) has paid the lobbying giant Ballard Partners hundreds of thousands of dollars this year to pressure Bondi’s Justice Department on “antitrust issues,” according to federal disclosures.

I came back to thank you. I reread the story. Why did Joseph have to suffer? He learned humility, and how to carry himself and serve, in order to govern justly, wisely, and humbly. It also spoke to me on certain things for my own reasons.

I'm glad you don't hear the dog whistling. It gives me hope, although Ron Got I DeathSentence.

I don't get "felt out" either. It's just said, bluntly or subtly, sometimes because people think I'll automatically agree, others because they're poking.

Edit because fur baby bumped my hand: it's a mess, agreed.

OTOH, we're seriously race (heh) mixed in NW Florida

Maybe you're so used to it, you don't notice. Or maybe it's said in other ways, eg, "Certain races do this thing or think that way." Or maybe it's more subtle, "That's just their culture." "That's just how their people are."

It's also maddening when discussing medical issues. "Why does my race have to be brought into it?” "Because certain ethnicities have problems with this particular medical condition moreso than others." "Because I'm more susceptible to x and I can't do y with you."

We're not going extinct. Humans are the toughest beasts on the planet, the AR-15 of animals. Not the best at anything, not by a long shot, but we're perfect multi-purpose lifeforms. Hell, we survive in every ecosystem on Earth. Insects can't even claim that!

I do believe climate science. And I do think a nuclear world war would decimate humans. I do hold hope, and recognize very real potentialities.

You can see their gears turning, truly a new thought.

And right back to football, video games, occasionally maybe standing somewhere publicly with a clever sign.

Plural of anecdote... Yes I know, forgive me for not documenting all the times I've heard it. Maybe people posture, depending on the surrounding people. Maybe they feel more free to be more honest as tourists. Perhaps both.
