Increased seatbelt usage correlates to increased cancer rates.

Agreed, but with the race being between him and Kari Lake, it’s not like there was much of a choice.

Hey man, nice shot.

Unfortunately, the “voting for your kids” idea is already in their heads.

One of my favorite stats to pull out in regards to this:

What states have had the most votes for Trump (2016, 2020, 2024)?

AKA we all know this is bullshit, but I’m going to backtrack and cover my ass just enough to not catch a perjury charge

That’s just the poorly designed default position.

Nope, it was reasonably randomly assigned. It’s just that the odds weren’t great.

So he rolled the dice on Florida, calculating his one in 26 odds of drawing the dreaded Judge Cannon were pretty good. The problem is, as they said in “The Music Man,” he didn’t know the territory. The odds were really as short as three to one against drawing Cannon.

The catch is that the Southern District of Florida is administratively divided into five divisions: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Key West and Fort Pierce. This is supposed to be for the convenience of the parties and their lawyers, and has no other legal significance.

Cannon is the only judge sitting in Fort Pierce, which is in St. Lucie County, 68 miles north of Palm Beach and 128 miles north of Miami. But, for the purpose of assigning judges, Fort Pierce is treated as part of the neighboring Palm Beach Division. There are three federal district judges in Palm Beach, one of whom is a senior judge. What Smith did not know, or failed sufficiently to appreciate, is that the pool of judges administratively eligible to try the case was not 26 but four. (If you remove from consideration the senior judge, the eligible pool narrows to three.) The grand jury that returned the Trump indictment sat in Miami because the courthouse facilities were more accommodating than those in Palm Beach, but an administrative order deemed the investigation a Palm Beach inquiry.

As others have alluded to, your question requires a distinction: are you talking about wanting to date or wanting to fuck?

Romantic attraction is based on the full package. Yes, their appearance matters, but so does their personality, their hobbies and interests, their emotional maturity, their ability to hold a conversation, their experiences and worldview, etc.

Sexiness is just about physical appearance. How their body looks, facial structure, the way they do their hair, their posture and confidence, their clothes, etc.

I’m a dude, just north of 40. I think peak physical attraction is a woman who’s 18-25, brunette, slim and toned, small to medium breasts, I’m not much of an ass man, etc.

But, I’m a middle aged dude. Would I want to date most women that age? Hellllllll no. My gf is 5 years younger than me and even that small of a gap has shown some differences in things like pop culture references and lived experiences. I can’t imagine easily connecting with someone that young.

My worry is musk and his merry band of malcontents are probably excited about the prospect of a showdown shutdown because then there won’t be anyone around to interfere or watch what they’re doing.

He’s a con man grifter that will shill anything for the right amount of attention.

That’s my read. They don’t actually care about shutting down the government, they just don’t want to be the one responsible for it.

As everyone has said, they have no legal basis to stop you from walking out, unless they’re asserting shopkeeper’s privilege, which has certain limits and opens them up to possible liability. This is why employees are trained that only managers and Loss Prevention can do that.

However, they absolutely are able to ban you from a store for not complying. How effective a ban is at a store that sees thousands of people walking in every day, I’m not sure. But it’s something to keep in mind if you have limited other options nearby.

And if you can get them to do stupid things, you can post about it here!

It’s good timing that I’ve been learning Docker to run Jellyfin and *arr. Guess I’ll look into throwing matrix or mattermost on there now, too.

Your service is appreciated.

The chuds at the top (most of them, anyways) know that this will likely lead to ww3, and that’s been the plan. The US is the preeminent military power, so they feel safe, and there’s a shit load of money to be made in war and instability.

The chuds at the bottom voting for US isolationism don’t understand just how much an interconnected world benefits them and how bad dedollarization is going to be for them. But then that goes along with a lot of people not understanding the benefits of concepts like soft power, humanitarian aid, foreign assistance, etc.
