It certainly SHOULD. Whether it ultimately will prove to or it won't is frightingly speculative at this point, because... well, this is what happens when a government gets cancer.

I'd wager rather a lot—but many more might've been convicted but never were for—reasons, and I'd wager rather a lot of THEM are members too. Takes a specific kind of person to WANT to do THAT job. Sad they could find anyone willing to do what they're doing now. I wish I were a cat.

Oh. That's a pity. 🫠

In any country—it's fucked, is what it is. There's really no other word to describe it. If that bugs you because the word "fucked" is considered, "bad," I would ask you to explain how a "bad" word should NOT be applied to this situation. It's appropriate, and if anything, isn't harsh enough.

Not to be THAT gal, but... I think you meant "brown SHIRTS?"

The Browncoats were the rebels in the TV series, "Firefly." Just saying. Mal and Zoë probably wouldn't have been cool with all that the so-called 'government' is doing RN based on how they felt about "The Feds" in their 'verse.

That's what the credit card dispute process is for—that and some other stuff, but yeah. I expect "like new" to mean, "if I wasn't TOLD someone had already bought this, I'd assume it WAS new." Like new means NOT physically distinguishable from a brand new book even under close inspection. Period.

Because other people's tongues are their own, and genetic variation is a fact of life—different people just like different things, and there's nothing wrong with that. 😀 I like a little hot sauce on mine, ESPECIALLY if they're a bit runny—if they're really runny, I won't even eat 'em.

Try it with mayo! :) Yum!

Is it... a Playstation? 😜

Can I be the only one who has noticed how cuddly the large Blåhaj is? Or how when you go to sleep and clutch him and wrap your legs around him, his tail just happens to be—😅—um, you know... it's like, RIGHT there...

Why no, I've never actually seen "The Shape of Water..." why do you ask?

Ever try to fold a globe up, and slip it into your back pocket? 🙃

Well, it IS, after all... NEW... York. 😆 (York is a town in northern England...)

Did you remember to bake it encased in freshly sifted volcanic ash at about 1500ºF for hours to days? They say it's really the only way to get the authentic texture and flavor you might be looking for.

I do—but only the amount found in a tiny tub of Half & Half. There's probably protein in there. Also, sometimes I add a bit of chocolate syrup and whipped cream which might also have a minuscule amount of protein. That said, YES, I too am over the "PROTEIN IN EVERYTHING!" I seem to see everywhere.

When they passed that act, I said to myself... doesn't matter... long as a certain person is occupying a certain building, those files will never see the light of day. Sadly, it seems I was right. I'd say I hope that all the people who voted for this nightmare are happy now, but... I really don't.

My thoughts exactly—48 hours? That's NOTHING! Pick basically any album from my CD collection, and I'd do it for a thousand. Now if it were 48 DAYS on the other hand... I may have to think about it. Um, okay, "Break the Cycle" by Staind. In fact, I could just enjoy "Epiphany" on repeat for 2 days.
