the profanity flies frequently at my place of work. we do give writeups if our employees are saying that in front of customers.

except for me, because I don’t curse (out loud). in fact if I start doing it everyone around me would actually be worried if I was okay.

probably not.

unless the planet is water all the way down, I don’t think it’s possible to have life or even submerged landmasses that don’t have the chemical elements that can create salts. dead things would dissolve in the water and chemicals in rocks will leach into water over time.

now if this water planet is far enough away from the sun to freeze, sure. the frozen ice should be all fresh. I’m not aware of any salts that stay in frozen water ice. the stuff underneath the frozen stuff most definitely will be salty.

not a chemist or chemistry major but I’m using the word “salts” deliberately. there’s more types of salt than NaCl.

you’re going to get that when

a) western media and journalists are deathly afraid of being labeled antisemites for reporting on what the secular government of israel is doing and

b) cable news viewers skew overwhelmingly republican and conservative who are already antimuslim and pro israel to begin with.

these are the people who are keeping the current administration from telling it like it really is. because I honestly don’t believe that bibi would be as empowered to do what he’s been doing in gaza if the us government isn’t actively publicly condemning in plain language what has happened already.

yes because math. next week it won’t be a problem because it will be a milestone multiple of 10 age.

not to me.

I stayed in a college town for a summer in a state college prep type program, so I would have been at the perfect age to really enjoy the “college town” experience. it’s not really for me. and it doesn’t really have much of anything to do with the town itself. I liked the place that I stayed in. however driving over 30 minutes to go to a place as middling as a japanese restaurant was not so appealing. having services around is important to me, so unless it’s a giant college town like lexington, ky I’m not going to be interested.

ps. I’m not going to live in lexington because lexington sucks.

I would have but I got caught up in the great recession before I could leave.

then when I finally got enough money to consider looking for a place, I received a very serious medical condition that wiped out finances and seriously affected my working ability. this condition also makes it almost necessary for someone to be around. so unless I hit the powerball or megamillions I’m going to be in my parents house for a while.

I’d honestly like to know what they’re protecting kids from.

it’s disgusting that those in charge in israel are using what was done to their people in the 30s and 40s as a universal shield for when they commit atrocities. you can’t tell any israeli they’re doing bad or else you get accused of being antisemitic. you can’t negotiate anything that way unless israel gets everything they want.

not surprising. the american right is specifically catered to address male grievances.

nope. israel isn’t doing genocide. nope. no genocide or other war crimes here.

now watch them accuse us of being antisemitic and invoke the holocaust. these assholes need to know just because 6+ million of your people were murdered doesn’t give you the excuse to do the same thing to another people.

it MIGHT have an effect in the united states. israel is so reliant on us dollars and equipment to survive, it would not be much of a stretch to call them a client state.

I don’t think any (democratic) politicians want to be associated with or vocally support a genocidal nation. don’t be surprised if you see (democratic) politicians talk about pulling funds from israel. it’s something I think we should have done at least 30 years ago.

genocidist gets mad he’s called a genocidist, confuses term used for hatred of a religious group with criticism of a government

one can be pro judaism (or at least neutral to it) and anti israel. someone needs to tell this clown israel≠judaism≠israel.

I can’t get over the fact that women actually vote for these men. if no women vote for these creeps, they all lose in a landslide.

I seriously want to know the thought process that says “this politician thinks I’m sentient livestock, I’ll vote for him”.
