  1. Haven't seen the study Rafael is complaining about, but I have been reading some other health related/longevity related articles/newsletters and I have seen this two per week maximimum recommendation come up. The first time was dealing with steps towards reducing your chances at neurodegenerative diseases.* from a newsletter that summarzied this study ("Association between healthy lifestyle and memory decline in older adults: 10 year, population based, prospective cohort study") There's this "Nordic Nutrition Recommendations" that says Everywhere I see that article discussed people get bogged down in the meat argument, and seem to skip the no alcohol recommedation. Now, I write this as someone who really enjoys good beer pretty often, including some last night. But I don't think I'm ignorant of the risks I am taking. It seems from a layman's point of view quite obvious that if the goal is long term health/mental vitality then avoiding alcohol altogether is the safest bet. Next safest is now the two per week at most recommendation that seems to be gaining popularity. So not sure what Rafael is all upset about. If you want to keep getting fatter and unhealthier go right ahread. Although perhaps not being from this planet makes him immune to the delterious effects of an unhealthy diet. *not sure we would recognize any mental decline on his part.
  2. Guess that was just a stupid question in general. I guess I really wondered if there was any crime that a President couldn't pardon. Such as, say 'seditious conspiracy.'
  3. You're right. There is a real problem with mass stonings in this country.
  4. Non-lawyer question--could an R prez pardon them?
  5. while this might be true it seems the damage he's done over the decades is enough to have sunk as all. pick an issue, but the climate change that will get all of humanity (sooner rather than later) is a good start. horn4life's post is also great in summarizing some other issues. healthcare for all would seem topical, but he's done great damage there as well. the entire trump enablement so he could do more damage. in short my friend, it doesn't matter to me if the 'next' is more or less effective. he's fucked us all and imo nobody has done more actual damage to this country and changed the rules of engagement. so since we're all fucked, please parade his currently suffering ass around a bit more for me to sneer at.
  6. that x post didn't show the follow up question which is worth a view https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/30/mitch-mcconnell-freezes-struggles-to-speak-in-second-incident-this-summer.html?__source=iosappshare|com.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard
  7. fucking same. he's done so much fucking damage to this country that frankly i'm all for them wheeling him out for more of these. edit: which totally contradicts my attempts to be a nicer person. but whatever, fuck him.
  8. I would add that somewhere around the time we get back to taxing the wealthy properly like we used to please go ahead and tax all churches.
  9. That idiot was the actual President of The United States of America. I say it all the time, but there are days where I still can't believe it and it makes me wonder if I'm getting early dementia just thinking about it.
  10. He looks like he should have been a deputy for Roscoe P. Coltrane.
  11. I forgot about this from May: https://naacp.org/articles/naacp-issues-travel-advisory-florida Sadly accurate. Desantis predictably called the advisory a stunt.
  12. Lots of Happy Gilmore references. He was in his early 70's when that came out. Good living. RIP. https://www.instagram.com/p/CwanXfYRBHF/?img_index=4

  14. Clozee's latest is more mellow but still hits in a good way. Link tree so you can pick which service you want to stream it on: https://clozeemusic.lnk.to/Microworlds Edit: she's touring with Daily Bread and that tour hits Austin Nov 18. Ya'll should go.
  15. In my 50's, still like the bangers. I dig the mellow stuff too. I go all over the map. Streaming changed things though. Most of what I 'find' some music service suggested for me, so it isn't usually anything unknown. Zeds Dead x Hamdi - Criminal ft.

  16. I entirely misunderstood your post that I quoted. My apologies. Edit: only tangentially related, I really do wish the Electoral College was removed. It seems that movement had a bit of momentum at one point. It feels diminished now, but there's a real chance I am out of touch.
  17. Fair enough, I suppose. Trolling has crossed over into real life and so I get more than annoyed for being blamed for something that didn't happen. I really wanted Bernie, but I also know that even if he won he wouldn't be allowed to do anything most of the things he truly wanted, so him losing out hurt less if that makes sense. And I'm also aware there were some pretty obnoxious Bernie folks on reddit/twitter/etc. But let us not forget social media amplifies quite often the minority and the controversial. It doesn't make all of us who liked Bernie's ideals misognystic trolling bros. who would burn the country down if we didn't 'get our way.'
  18. Goddammit, this complete and total bullshit again? More Bernie voters voted for Hillary than Hillary voters voted for Obama. Fact. In the spirit of kindness I will not go with my usual even more blistering reaction to this. I'm trying to be nicer, just like the less mean thread suggests I should. But as someone who went for Bernie in the primaries and voted for HRC in the General (in Texas where it didn't matter anyway) I really, really get tired of this smear.
  19. Train has been off the rails for sometime now. We're witnessing the decline of the empire, and he and his ilk are rather significant symptoms. Getting some gallow's humor out of him getting some comeuppance can be a joy.
  20. Great post. “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Kurt Vonnegut
