I wonder if adults can just come up to one another and say "Hey, you seem cool, can we be friends?"

A reminder that insisting on "respectful discourse" is just another form of tone policing.

One of my persistent beliefs in the supernatural is in the existence of the Chicago Cub's Curse of the Billy Goat.

Curse of the Billy Goat - Wikipedia

In October 22, 2016, the Cubs won the World Series. That sent us into The Bad Place where Trump won the 2016 election 2 weeks later.

Even though I have done so plenty of times, it's always interesting to try and explain US Healthcare system horrors to anyone from any other country. Like even if it's a country that has ZERO socialized medicine, it's just cash pay or charity pay, they're still horrified at our system. Like that hospitals charge 10x as much to cash pay a procedure than if someone has insurance.

Hey men, in particular. One lesson to come away with this Trump Epstein relationship. Don't. Hang. Around. Womanizing. Creeps. It doesn't matter whether or not you ACTUALLY did anything, when it comes out the creep is a pedo and or rapist or whatever, it's going to smear everyone associated with them too.
