Luck, we have been told, is the intersection of preparedness and opportunity.
Sometimes, FAFO works too, if you're not a giant dick.

That's the weird, dumb, limited-thinking thing.
The Billionaires living off of OUR largesse.... those highways and byways, NASA teaching three generations of engineers and scientists to pave the way for Space Ex to build Hilter 2.0, we built those things on high-taxes for people who could afford it

We did it once. We actually taxed the wealthy to pay for WWII and building the highway system.
They didn't die and their children didn't starve. And BTW: Those taxes were implemented by one of the wealthiest persons, from one of the wealthiest people in America.

I just need an actual politician to say this and not apologize.
Trump is a cucked cunt; cucked to President Elmo.
We live in the most expensive Banana Republic that has ever put a shirt on someone.

Correct: Being the opposition party doesn't even require an agenda, it just requires opposition.
An *agenda* is *nice*, but not required.

Everyone thinks cats don't like water. I had a cat that loved fire, and also loved to swim.
Curiosity killed the cat because they are curious about everything.

Plants are cats. They appreciate your concern, but it's always with an ounce of side eye.

Can someone with a legal degree tell me how a Federal Court *determines* hiring under DEI requirements, and normal "we hired a black person" because she was qualified shit?
I know how the Drumpf admin defines it "person of color/woman/gay/under 24 not an Elon Fuck-boy".
How does the law define it?

No Teslification without Representation!

Sorry! It seemed fittingly like a political reference, and Calvin Coolidge was a president for the 100-millionaire class in 1926 (they didn't billionaires then). So, it seemed an appropriate response. And Berry was right: We tried hard to get this named the Anthropomorphic age; obscene works.

Fear and Loathing in DC. Pretty sure Hunter wrote that; or meant to, at least.

I don't know what's more worrying: that his nominees would use words like "pound town" or the possibility that they're so home schooled they don't actually know what that means.

More importantly, especially now, you wouldn't want it to work the way you've always thought it worked.

I'll never know the biology of it the way you do, I'm sorry if I offended you. But thanks for that.
I happily followed, and can't wait to see what else you post.

It's both biology and coincidental tragedy.

That's exactly the information I was looking for. And to be honest I don't know that definition is out their widely (in pop science), so I'm super happy to have it. Thank you!

Weird, I never saw it this way, it always felt like Parasites feed on their host, while symbiotes feed on their host while both get something in return.
comment in response to

I feel like this is a "sometimes" thing. parasitic symbiosis is certainly a thing, but most things are Jadzia Dax

I mean, nature for you: Sometimes you get a symbiote; sometimes you get a parasite. Sometimes you get both.

The problem here, of course, is that no one - even the right-wing folks - would question the temperatures, the wildfires of the loss of human (or animal) life.
What they'll question, for the preservation of industry, is the "Human-caused". That's the problem. If we all agreed on that we could fix

"I don't care how big a check you wrote."
Yeah, maybe not, but someone does:

"Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula"
The singular reason I work in IT today. You could only download those pictures via FTP.
Space photography is so important.

It turns out that a sitcom about mental health isn't a sitcom. Just everything we always needed and didn't realize we wanted. But you should call your therapist first.
