True in the U.S. Except, of course, in Alaska. Somehow in Alaska, very red state Alaska, home to Sarah Palin, every state resident gets a dividend from the oil revenue. Not that I approve of the reason why considering no one should be making revenue by fossil fuels, but somehow Republicans are fine with that exception. I wish they were pressed on it occasionally.
Also, I said this before as a parent and I will say it again- please do not have children unless you really want children. No child deserves to go through their childhood neglected and unloved. Which is going to be a major result of the end of Roe v. Wade in the U.S. and why abortion rights are vital.
No one should have to be a parent unless they absolutely want to be a parent.
Ugh, that episode is so fucking stupid. “We wanted to pass information down to our creations, but we hid it in a puzzle for no apparent reason and just hoped that all the pieces of the puzzle would evolve into spacefaring civilizations that will all work together to solve the puzzle.” And that didn’t even happen because one of the pieces was on a world which didn’t have much life on it and it got intentionally destroyed during the race for all the puzzle pieces.
Adolf Hitler had a sister who emigrated to England before the war and had two kids. Both kids actually fought in the war against their uncle with no one aware of who they were. They both agreed to never have children.
When I first moved to L.A., you needed a prescription card to buy weed. I had zero experience with edibles. I was going on a flight, and my friend, who had a card, asked me if I wanted an edible for the flight. I said, what the hell. He asked me what strength and I said “the strongest.”
First of all, once it kicked in, all I could say to my wife as she drove me to the airport was, “I’m so high.”
Then I was on a something like eight-hour flight high off my ass, unable to stretch out or move or even do much. And this was pre-smartphone days, so I couldn’t even relax and watch a movie.
Do not do really strong edibles and fly commercially in the 2000s is what I’m saying.
