We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.

Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.

There is a shifting of themes that basically tracks with the corporate takeover of the US government.

  1. (1993) Companies fucking around with systems they don't understand is the problem. Rich guy underestimates nature.
  2. (1997) Rich guy learned lesson. Corporate greed did not.
  3. (2001) post-dotcom crash: A rich fucker and his stupid family learn the lesson about the company that fucked with nature. Governments are bad for not interveneing.
  4. (2015) post-Birther: Company and its rich founder are naive and innocent. US Government and US education are the bad guys.
  5. (2018) Corporate suits are the good guys. Science is the bad guys.
  6. (2022) A (suddenly) European company is the bad guys. Science is again the bad guy. Americans are the good guys.
  7. (2025) The US company and Military are the good guys.

The thing is that they don't want an end to those services in reality.

They want an end to the imaginary concept of those services as sold to them by the GOP and corporate media.

The GOP and Democratic sychophants wish that they had renamed their party this first.

I remember when a company doing road work did do due diligence, called, was told exactly where an oil pipeline was.

Then they hit the pipeline.

Turned out that the US oil company had lost the maps showing the precise pipeline location and had lied to everyone.

Fuck big oil.

What is the scope of the zoning plan densification?

If they're taking single family homes and putting up high rise towers; if the city did not expand transportation or public services(water and sewage) in any way (bigger sidewalks, buses, trams, bike lanes) the assholes are right.

Go to Revelstoke over Banff.
• Less tourists • Equally fantastic mountains • You're not in Alberta.

Gardaworld caused an office building to be very, very infested with carpenter ants.

It was about balancing the budget in his favour.

When Trump planned to cut space exploration, that was not in his favour, so he lashed out.

Ex had gallbladder issues that ran in the family.

One night she had bad abdominal pain. Drive over and rush her to hospital. Gets in 15 minutes. Nurses provide aid and pain relief, night shift ER doc looks her over, determines is likely gall bladder and it needs to be removed based on pain. Morning doctor looks her over, says it's not bad enough to warrant immediate attention, sends her home with painkillers, an appointment for an ultrasound and a 6 month-ish waitlist for removal.

--

Two nights later, same story, she opts for an ambulance this time. This time the same night shift doctor stays a bit late to ensure that she gets an ultrasound right away.

Gets sent home after the ultrasound and told that they will phone with next steps same day.

11am, go back to the hospital, get told that she is being admitted for immediate gallbladder removal. Ended up taking a day and a half to get to the surgery because of a bad motorcycle accident then two emergency c-sections tired out the only surgeon available and his staff over a straight 24 hour shift. 8 hours sleep and she was first up. Got it out, follow up at a nurse practitioner to get the drain removed.

Cost to us: $0

Angus Reid's message post Obama's two unexpected victories make it clear that polling firms are still unable to model millenial, Z and Alpha voting behaviour.

Their only move is to disenfranchise us.

Bumblebees can do simple math problems and like to play, which happens to be one of the current (as far as I am aware) scientific signs of intelligence.

Just because its a bug doesn't mean its stupid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghws6YFsPJA
