Should kids aspire to be vloggers, or is the whole culture of influencers and the like toxic, and only breeds the worst in human traits?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

About a year ago I was disappointed that the bird feeder I put outside my office/sewing room window was being ignored by the birds. Now I have to fill it twice a day!

I'm beginning to think I should have given the boy and dog(s) the same name.

I want to start a chain of stores called Something New, which would sell fancy designer products. like Sharper Image, but at a fraction of the cost.

The government must use special criteria in hiring IT people. Their web services are consistently the most buggy and unreliable on the internet.

In my Walmart order, between ground pepper, special restaurant grind pepper, and whole peppercorns for my grinder, I spent $13 on pepper. Who knew I liked pepper so much? I sure didn't.

Yay just what the world needs more frivolous crap for people to waste their money on.
Geez dude, relax. We would sell our products at very affordable prices. It would stimulate the economy. Plus our products would be fun and easy to use.
