Speaking as a Canary user, what am I missing?

400mg theanine and/or 2g Magtein. Melatonin didn’t work for me and I dislike the effect of cannabis and its derivatives on my body.

Icelandic chic.

Musical bow also known as ngongo. And other names here on This page

The article says it was slivered onions from a single supplier servicing 3 distribution centers in and around Colorado and Nebraska.

How much acreage does it take to feed a person? How does it scale?

Detailed in Freaknomics where Romania is used as an example.

“I don’t feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.”

OP said wrong answers only.

I imagine for some of those folks being a part of a group that demands nothing other than your agreement is better than belonging to a group demanding a truthful relationship to the facts and their impact.

Oysters and kiwi

Boggles the mind sometimes the trust we put in experts… I was scratching my head going, “How can something in your arm prevent pregnancy if it’s non-hormonal?”

I genuinely have no idea how a professional could have come to another conclusion. Not trying to be rude. I really don’t understand it.

Thanks for the heads up. Seems like Nexplanon is a hormonal birth control though.

What’s the non-hormonal arm implant called? Haven’t heard of it and a Google search is not giving answers.

Yes, very well said.

I’m considering the Lusophone world for myself and my family. My vision is to find a place where my kid can put down roots. I’m having a hard time working out the details, though.

I have climate-driven concerns about living near the equator or in Europe. And as part of the contraction you mentioned, I expect moving around the globe will become difficult or problematic.

That doesn’t leave many options.

I acknowledge your upset and frankly, I agree with much of what you said. I’m defending nothing.

And yet it’s still your anger at an institution not meeting your (and many others’) standards.

That’s still not the same as doing nothing, or, to put a finer point on the Trump vs Biden difference, that the Overton window in one case could even possibly trend in a direction you and I can agree is positive.

I’m done here, friend. Be well and take care of yourself.

I appreciate that your answer was something other than violent revolution or its buddies. Thank you for elaborating!

If you’re willing to share: where would you go?

Yes, the “fascization” of the US government has been unfolding for decades.

To make a leap from that to an inevitability that “destroying the system to start over” is the only cure…

Well, isn’t the cure is worse than the disease?

What are the practicalities your presumptive solution hand-waves away?

Insurance and reinsurance markets, for example, provide regional/national/global stability for business to happen in the face of mass catastrophe. Medicare and Medicaid provide millions of people with healthcare.

These details, and literally thousands like them, make up the everyday function of government—even if they are currently not working in some places or not working as well as we’d like in many others!

If you’re actually committed to the welfare of millions of ordinary people, then your position has got to be more nuanced than “destroy the system!”

What are we destroying? What are we replacing it with? What kind of work are we doing to ensure a reasonable transition? Who is the we that is organizing toward a new vision? How do we work with opposing forces inside and outside of our camp?

All of those questions fall under the banner of politics and the answers are constrained by the agendas of the participants engaging with the existing system.

Where on this thread did I defend Biden?

Our anger at the Democratic Party not doing enough to X, Y, and Z is valid.

As far as I’m concerned, feel free to beat up on the Democratic Party.

From my perspective, I was calling out the parent poster for a lack of rigor.

A national political institution not meeting our standards is not the same as a national political institution doing nothing.

Additionally, it also doesn’t work for us to equate a Trump presidency with a second Biden term as though one clearly won’t be worse than the other for many of the values you and I seem to be mutually committed to.

No, it doesn’t work like that. You are claiming nothing has been done on any of those issues. It’s prima facie a bold and likely specious claim.

Speak honestly: have you looked for any counterexample?

Or are you content to make extreme claims, hook people in with emotion, and throw the effort onto others to check your work?

Come on.
