Last time I looked, I can choose to vote for whoever I want for whatever reason I want. You sound very reasonable, but you're still trying to convince me to do what you want me to do. I don't have to. Also, if I believe in good & evil, that's my choice.

For over 50 years, I've voted for the lesser of two evils. However, that mean I'm still voting for evil. I got tired of that and tired of people telling me what to do with my vote that happened to map to who they were voting for.

As far as I can tell, one of the big reasons that 36 million didn't vote was either they weren't in a swing state or because they had no faith in either Trump or Harris. I'm the latter, though I did vote Libertarian because A) I believe in voting and B) I wanted my conscience clear.

I've never had a COVID vaccination (only had a significant case of COVID once but my son and wife pulled me through) and haven't had a flu shot in over a decade. Turned 71 this summer and I'm doing well. Trying to stay off drugs. The more drugs an old person is on, the closer they are to dying.

Physicists detect water's ultraviolet fingerprint in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS

For millions of years, a fragment of ice and dust drifted between the stars—like a sealed bottle cast into the cosmic ocean. This summer, that bottle finally washed ashore in our solar system and was ...
