His company, his newsletter, his name on it. Often tomes racist shot was directly attributes to him. So either he believed in that, condoned it, or felt that racism was a great vehicle to sell his ideology. I'm not sure whoch of those makes him a good person, or makes his ideology not about racism.

The point is that Ron Paul was a true, modern, libertarian in that his "freedom" and "liberty" shtick was always about freedom to do segregation via "freedom of association" and other such nonsense. Ron Paul created the libertarian to fascist pipeline because libertarianism has mever been anything but veiled racism

Ron Paul wass popular becausue of his racist newsletter back in the 80's. Everything else was just whitewash.

Someone brings it up once and others like the idea. It's no different than how March Madness took over offices 20 years ago.

I do. That code is: get fat, fuck, destroy all opposition

Strange, because the idea of shelling New Jersey seems very natural to the rest of us

The White House was able to bring down a shit ton of sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine. There iia no reason they couldn't do the same after Israel began razing Gaza.

The issue is how much water people actually use on a given day. The average American uses 82 gallons of water every day. Los Angeles (not the surrounding cities or suburbs) needs an average of 320 million gallons of water to meet just consumer water requirements every day. Thats 10,617 train cars or 16 LR1 Oil tankers a day for just water, for just the city of Los Angeles. The only feasible solution is discouraging people from living where there isn't any water.

Their government made sure to keep those men loaded up on cigarettes and booze because it was the only way to keep those soldiers fighting. Nicotine is a hell of a drug

They sont have any pipelines running into California because the terrain makes them prohibitedly expensive. If BP and Exxon Mobile say it is cheaper to import Saudi crude to California because it is too expensive to pipe Texas crude, then there is no way. Canada has one pipeline to connect Albertam oil to Vancouver, but it is so expensive to pipe that oil across the Canadian Rockies that the pipe it downhill to Saskatchewan where it can then be pipped downhill all the way to Texas. Pipelines across mountains are just not feasible unless you are trying to move stuff from the top of the mountain to the bottom.

We need to stop encouraging people to live where there isn't any water. There's a reason nearly 3/4 of the US population lives east of the Mississippi, and that reason is the Eastern half of the country gets a straight up order of magnitude more rain water than the Western half

Michigan is dirt cheap. $80 ounces are pretty common. $40 for an ounce of shake if you avoid border towns like Monroe. Even the Monroe dispensaries are cheaper than the Ohio ones that just opened, so everyone in NW Ohio still travels north for it since they dave moeny.

 
 

Finally got everyone to the vet today. Both girls were perfect and everyone there loved them. Absolutely no fussing, even when they got theor FVRCP vaccines. Now everyone is sleeping off the excitement. This is the first time i think i have ever seen them sleep in the condo at the same time

That's her absolute favorite toy, so it stays inside the cat condo on my dresser. Both kitties like to nap up there, but only Nini ever goes in to grab her mouse. And yes, the mouse is named Merlin lol.

 
 

Someone just walked into the restaurant i work at, dumped this soaking wet kitten in the lobby, and left without saying a word. I just got a kitten this month, so i took her home with me since i have kitten supplies and everyone else at work has too many pets.

She cried the whole ride home, and my kitten (13 weeks old), Niniane was not happy about the new cat. I took the stray into the bathroom and fed her. Afterwards i weighed her and she wasn't even 2lbs. She was absolutely filthy, so i gave her a quick bath without much struggle.

I dried her off and groomed her with the slicker brush and then let Niniane into the bathroom so they could socialize a bit. Nini was curious, but very standoffish and mostly just hissed while the stray just wanted to climb into my lap. I put a cat hammock, scratching post, and some toys in the bathroom (none of which Nini uses) and have locked the stray in there until i know she is litter trained. Currently she is jist sleeping in the hammock, so i think I'll leave her there for the night and try to socialize the kittens some more tomorrow.

Edit: i think i am gonna call her Boudica. It's much better than "the stray". She just peed in the litter box and even buried it, so that's a massive step. Unfortunately I'm still gonna keep her in in the bathroom for the next few days, but I'm so glad she used the litter box.

Never had a kitten before, but i got her from a friend of a friend for free. She is a couple weeks shy of 3 months old and is an absolute sweetheart. No accidents outside the litter box after a week, and she has even let me trim her paws!

She was 2lbs 5ozs when i got her and she is growing well. She's way less shy than when i got her and has become super curious and playful the past week.

 

I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

 

I'm American, but my mom is a Geordie. We always visited my aunt when we went to England and i thought her living right next to a castle was the coolest thing ever.
