The thing is, demographic trends are for race what the thesis of Idiocracy was for IQ.
The browner parts of the world, coincidentally THE POOREST parts as well, have more population growth because POVERTY DOES THAT.
If "white future" types were serious they'd fix THAT. Income up = birthrate down.

This is bullshit. 🙄
The Democratic Party platform is the most progressive it's EVER been. Pres. Biden was both the most progressive AND most effective president of any our lifetimes. MVP Harris was the MOST progressive candidate we've ever run.
This is blaming us for the 💩 Bernholios say about us!

I think it's possible so long as they ALSO admit:
1. The IDF operation is surgical in its precision, with less collateral damage than any modern war in history.
2. Israel has provided direct aid to THEIR ENEMY since the beginning of the conflict.
3. "Child" means UNDER 18 to UN. Most are HAMAS.

Yeah. All of that. 😢
I will just say that at the very center of my gutpunched soul, there's a dead spot that just says, plaintively, "I guess this is who we are now."
I hope we rally. I hope we rise. I do. But I'm less & less convinced that we will.

So physical types, specific phenology, I think that's a matter of "you get what you've got." Their gene pool has BOUNDARIES.
Applying weird sexist/elitist conspiracy theories to that is confusing correlation with causation and mostly means the OP needs better hobbies. Or to touch grass.

Well, "Gibson Girl" to flapper, there's a narrow window of time where that MAYBE held SLIGHTLY true, sure.
"Multigenerational wealth" is the kicker. In this country old money has coded language & hidden social norms to insure they ONLY mate with each other.
You can't just walk IN.

I love these challenge threads on here .... gives me something besides politics & food to post & pops all kinds of interesting stuff into my TL from other people.

Is it just me, or is Melon Husk acting EXACTLY like a dumped girlfriend who just can't let it go? 🤔

All of America hopes you can get enough Republicans to cross the aisle to kill this murderous POS bill, Senator.

Oh, I was well past 40 here. Just saying! 😇
I was doing okay, putting on a little muscle but no fat, lots of running & cycling. When my knees went, it got a little harder but the gym took up the slack until my thyroid went tits up.
Then it was just OVER. 🥺

Interesting.
I actually only included Leone because his "spaghetti Westerns" are famous & launched Clint Eastwood's film persona and career.
Clint directed a number of his OWN Westerns after that, so he's probably coming next on this list.

Oh dear gods. The GOP is actually still trying to run walking traumatic concussion injury poster child Walker as a CANDIDATE?

I've found that in "Big & Tall" fit can be . . . . a little weird.
Generally, 3XLT or 4XL will work for me MOST of the time but not ALWAYS.
And finding something more precise, like a 23/37 shirt, is just impossible.

*sigh*
In my twenties I had that specific body & could wear ANYTHING right of the rack & have it look & fit GREAT on me.
Then came "The Thickening." 😂

It's wild to me how someone can support Ukraine standing alone against Russia and NOT support Israel standing alone against literally the entire Arabic Middle East.

How to wear suspenders, basically. My father went to them with suits & I've .... come to share his build. 🙄
He wore them with suits but I have no need of that. How can I wear them with more casual attire? Over a tank top but under a camp shirt, for example? Does that work?

Well . . . . he SAID he was joking. The possibility remains he really is just that fucking stupid.

. . . . by Hamas, to keep them from accessing freely given food aid from Israel instead of buying it from Hamas.
