There are very few people who are a "catch" in the traditional sense. You have to be hot, with no faults, flaws, or baggage. High bar.

We are all depressed, stressed, anxious, self-absorbed people, in our own ways and to our own degrees. Admitting and understanding your shortcomings is hard. Having someone in your life that you can say those things about is a godsend. In the real world, the only requirement for being a catch is that you work your ass off so that your partner can say the same.

Also, this woman is having a baby shower. She's probably 7-8 months pregnant. Having been through that a few times, she's probably a hormonal, emotional wreck under the best of circumstances, but her husband is in a concentration camp, and thanks to the Supreme Court, he can be deported to Sudan with no repurcussions.

I cannot imagine how hard it is to be as kind, loving, and gracious as she is, but to be surrounded by a world with so much willful anger, hate, and misery.

The real truth is that most are just actually just anti-sex. "Be fruitful and multiply," applies to them, maybe to their wife, but definitely not to their daughter.

Screw blue. If everyone votes blue, no matter who, we still live in a fascist, capitalist country going down the drain because politicians would rather cash checks from their corporate masters than do what's right. We need actual reform.

Since it has to rhyme, vote progressive, not regressive?

As much as I dislike Steve Jobs personally, Apple needs someone at the helm who is product and customer experience oriented like he was. Obviously, technical know-how is good, but someone exclusively technical would flounder. Tim Cook is a supply chain guy. His replacement would almost certainly be someone marketing oriented, since innovation no longer drives Apple. Sales do.

Journalism in the US is dead. Being shocked or angry at anything the news does or doesn't say at this point is in "fools me twice, shame on me" territory.

You'd be better off asking Days of Our Lives to weigh in.

I mean, I know JK Rowling sucks, and it's been a long time since the first Harry Potter movie came out, but it was definitely a component and precursor to Hagrid beating the shit out of that door.

It describes the past 30 years of the USA's Middle East policy. At least it's consistent?

He also said he received death threats for his views about what he called the "overt sexuality" he sees in Pride events and people who identify as LGBTQ+.

The Old State Saloon has hosted various events, including "Beers for Breeders" gatherings.

My how the turn tables.

Nah, the people who don't want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.

The sad truth is he's right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.

It's not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it's that they can't afford to not work a day.
