@OrwellNGoode My recollection is that it was the hydrogen that was the issue. Every car that crashes doesn’t blow up in a huge fireball.

@Rach4Patriarchy @whatever I've said for years young women have watched too many Hollywood movies with petite women beating up multiple men in hand to hand combat and believing it's real.

@LauraPowellEsq She's confusing "intellectual" with faux "academe speak", that overly wordy use of polysyllabic words strung together to make one appear knowledgeable but are, in fact, just BSing. Use to be known as "padding" one's papers and professors would downgrade you for it.

@thisisfoster When I was 39 I wondered what I had accomplished and what Mark I would leave and got depressed for a while. Then I realized my kids WERE my legacy and the most important thing I would leave behind. Nostalgia and sentimentalism is a deception and trap.

@pegobry_en Agreed. Tolkien's Aragorn was all about noblesse oblige, duty, honor, integrity, chivalry - "rightness". He had no doubt about who HE was and what his duty was.

@starbeam00 @TheBlackHorse65 Hmmm, while he wasn't a believer in orthodox Christianity, Sir Isaac Newton was devout believer in God and is estimated to have had an IQ between 170 and 190.

@GAFollowers When I was 10 we'd disappear for hours at a time, riding our bikes all over the place and just having to get back for meals or when it got dark. Walked a mile to school.

Why has the West had a hatred for Russia for almost 200 years? The evidence seems to be that the Jews hate Orthodox Christianity.

@tomselliott @profgalloway Yeah, because two heavy weight military powers punching it out for four years is certainly analogous to one middle-weight pummeling an amateur long after the bell has rung.

@GarbageHuman24 Just a thought: if you work in the service industry and make a "living wage" from tipping, you might consider that the needs and desires of those you're serving outweigh your desire to express your political or cultural viewpoints while you work.

@tomselliott Why do they keep saying this? It simply is NOT true. Not against the law, not even a Supreme Court decision, but a dictum in a decision that was overturned FORTY years ago.

@billybinion If you actually read the inscriptions on these monuments, you'd learn that it wasn't about "participation", but their willingness to lay down their lives for the cause of liberty. If you think that somehow "contradictory", you've been brainwashed.

@Edwin07011 @pcfla2014 So about 115 million people watch "TV" on Monday nights in the USA. Last night's "most watched Grammys since 2020" (that's just two intervening years, right?) has 12.5 million viewers. That is a rating of 10.8. That used to be cancellation level rating.

@JimDown8 @toadmeister "Homophobia" is a made up propaganda term that has no relation to reality. Homosexual acts are sinful. Doesn't matter whether it is socially acceptable or not and does NOT impact the rights of homosexuals at all. This world is not all there is.

@megynkelly I'm not aware there is a Ph.D. in education. An education doctorate is an Ed.D. My mother had an Ed.D. My dad had Ph.D. in engineering. There was a HUGE difference in the academic requirements between the two.

@ajlamesa I was going to bet she has no children but I found this. Now, listing having "kiddos" is not 100%, but if they are human children, what kind of mother lists her children AFTER birds and a dog?

@RomeoVoidddd @Andrewnsnyder Public schools are "f*cking up" far more kids' development than homeschoolers ever will. And that you think that homeschooling is done in total isolation illustrates your ignorance. You need to meet some homeschooling families IRL.
