It's working awesome, for the politicians.
I am saddened to hear this, and assume your relatives (as well as mine) served at great personal peril to save their fellow soldiers, family, friends and community first and abstract concepts like gay marriage or appropriate marginal tax rates or debt ratios were rarely part of the equation. Honor their sacrrice by finding family once again.
OK , now you're just using semantics , IMO . In 1500 BC fear of isolation was a real threat , now not so much . Those that have evolved are now capable of thinking rationally without the fear of being ousted from the tribe . So scratch my use of stupid and replace it with un-evolved , same thing .
I suppose we all have a line to draw
No worries, always welcome semantics and sarcasm - but both are tricky on the web.
When I want to get to the meat of a thread's substance I often seek out Nameless's missives...^^^this is right on the money
You owe me a trigger warning that a trigger warning is forthcoming, as trigger warnings trigger me. Failing to do so makes you either a fascist pig or a communist apparatchik depending on how I feel that day
I think "the good sound bite" has in the age of insta reels, social media, etc. has in and of itself become the substance of conversation rather than just a thumbnail as it were for a greater conversation.
It has become painfully obvious that I don't belong in this discussion. There's way too many words I have to look up.You owe me a trigger warning that a trigger warning is forthcoming, as trigger warnings trigger me.

It's just a running joke from another thread.
In all fairness to others we probably do need a HT inside joke disclaimer in the footnote of some remarks.
He and I agree on very very little, but wow is he a polished speaker when allowed to bath in his own facts. If you just accept his public words he is all things to all people. Just saw him on Bill Mahr's HBO show. I would guess his Cali credentials will kill him in swing states - but he is a slick talker - much more so than Biden, Kamala, Kloubachar, Warren, etc.
I think the trans/gender conversation has gotten squirrely for sure, but going to all unisex bathroom stalls like many other countries have had for years and I would prefer (I don't need to see the ankles of the guy next to me expelling yesterday's chili) is hardly reason to lose family. And for kids sports, we way over think those and frankly most kids should just be in co-ed rec league and not 5am school day hockey practice. If it becomes a real problem we can solve it with height and weight categories like we have in football and wrestling for kids for decades. At the elite levels testosterone level rules probably fix it. Again, sad to lose a sister over.
