Yep. It's times like these when I refer to another quote attributed (correctly or not) to Einstein:
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
That's the whole problem. It takes planning and an ICE doesn't.
Seriously? You don't plan your route ahead of time? Sounds foolish to me.
The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.

Doesn't invalidate your post; Republicans have been trying to kill the USPS so that mail delivery can be privatized for a while now.
I can't recall ever agreeing with any movie review from a place like the NYT.
Your taste in cinema must be pretty out there then because reviewers like NYT give widely popular movies good reviews all the time.
My big problem with fan reviews are two things. The first is the modern political stuff, I don't care what busy bodies think of a movie on either side of the political spectrum. Review bombing is a big problem with fan reviews.
The other problem I have with fan reviews is for more niche productions they can't be trusted because niche productions tend to overwhelmingly attract enthusiasts of said niche as opposed to a proper sampling of the general public. This makes the fans reviews largely useless for those with more mainstream tastes as the really big enthusiasts in a genre or other categorization of movies will give almost anything a good score within the context they're excited about
For that last one what I think of the most is anime reviews. Most fan reviews of anime are done by hardcore anime fans (outside of the rare, really big production). I am not one of those though so their reviews are useless to me as in my ample experience hardcore anime fans don't give great advice on what anime to watch to those of us who only enjoy a very small percent of this genre.
I get that; however, why would I care about a reviewer of a movie that *isn't* a fan? For instance, I am a fan of science fiction and superhero movies. I don't much care if the general public would like it or not; I want to know what the fans think. If, for instance, a new Star Trek movie is getting poor reviews from critics, yet good reviews from most who watched it? I can safely say that I will at least be entertained.
I remember back in the day, when a critic for TV Guide wrote an article reviewing Star Trek: Voyager. In the article he had complained about the "wooden and emotionless" portrayal of Tuvok. Lost all credibility right then and there.
Democrat leaders are going around saying we need illegal aliens to pick our crops, cook our food, and clean our houses. In 1860, Democrats said we needed slaves to pick our crops, cook our food, and clean our houses.
In 1860 the GOP said NO. Today, the GOP says NO.
I see a trend.
Conveniently forgetting that the GOP of those days were progressives. As if conservatives of those days would have passed the Reconstruction Amendments.
And it isn't Democrats who are saying that we need immigrants (illegal or otherwise) for those jobs. It's the business owners who are saying that.
Your "trend" is as false as your narrative.
Trump either does not understand that or thinks that USA citizens are too stupid to understand.
You left "does not care" out.
Activision isn't making the calls here, Microsoft, which bought Activision, is pulling the strings in order to try and push more people to use Windows 11.
They pulled this crap back in the day with Halo 2 and Shadowrun being Vista only titles. I didn't care about Shadowrun as it had almost nothing to do with the RPG, and Halo 2 got to wait until I got Windows 7.
Wow, you sure got me there! I must bow to your towering intellect!
Whatever dude. The bill was 100% Republican sponsored, and whatever Democrats did would not have made any difference whatsoever. All your bluster, assholery, and ad hominems won't change that fact.
Good day, sir.
how is this journalism? None of this is based in reality or fact......which does lend itself to the wealthy elites dream.
FTFY. You exclusively blame "liberals" for something that "conservatives" also do on a regular basis (lie and exaggerate). Congratulations, you have taken the wedge issue bait and made yourself a useful idiot for the people who actually run the show (the wealthy elites). As long as they keep us fighting each other they can do whatever they want with ease, as we're all too busy fighting to pay any attention to what they're doing to screw us all over.
It's a Republican bill.
When every single sponsor of the bill has an (R) after their name, AND with Republican supermajorities in both Ohio House and Senate, AND a Republican Governor, you can safely assume that it's a Republican bill.
Or is this some asinine bOtHsIdEs claim?
An android is by definition male. The clue is in the etymology. Andro-id, meaning male being. A female version would be a gynoid. Asimov discussed this in a conversation about I Robot.
FTFY, assuming you simply made a typo.
Iâ(TM)d pay for study that examines why conservatives constantly think about genders and trans people.
I can save you a lot of money on that. It's because the liberals can't stop bringing it up.
Bullshit. Liberals wouldn't be saying anything about them if conservatives weren't vilifying and persecuting them.
Why is that "health of the mother" added
So that doctors aren't forced to wait until the woman is nearly dead before performing the abortion. Waiting until things are critical can also cause damage to the woman's reproductive system, preventing her from having any future children.
The most sensible criteria is that abortion should be legal for any reason unless the fetus is viable. At that point we can not allow it, with the exceptions of rape, incest, or health of the mother.
