In Japan, adult diapers outsell baby ones
In Japan, adult diapers are starting to outsell those for babies. That as birthrates there plummet and society ages. Around 29% of the country’s population is now over 65 - and that percentage is only set to grow. Over the five years to 2027, Japan’s adult diaper market is forecast to grow 16% to over $600 million. Meanwhile, sales of baby diapers are set to shrink 8%, to around $530 million. https://www.yahoo.com/news/aging-world-j...38877.html
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"
To be very clear...I don't want anyone shot and killed that isn't in danger of being killed by a serial killer or intruder or just a nut and in the moment.
There have been few people in my life when I have thought about how much better the world would be with them dead. This one hurts my heart...I am against gun violence and mourn the people who have died at schools, churches, concerts, movies...with this one I am really torn. I am having an internal battle with my own basic morals. Other than the shitstorm that would surely follow....a dead Trump doesn't seem all that bad. ![[Image: MmQV79M.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MmQV79M.png)  (July 14, 2024 at 8:04 am)arewethereyet Wrote: To be very clear...I don't want anyone shot and killed that isn't in danger of being killed by a serial killer or intruder or just a nut and in the moment. You're a better person than me. I can't even find a shred of sympathy for the bystander who got shot in the head. He was almost certainly a MAGA cultist. One less Trump voter from a critical swing state.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Given all his urgings to his followers to use violence against his enemies, it's unsurprising that violence should be wielded against him. And for that, he can find sympathy in the dictionary, between shit and syphilis. There's also the fact that demagogues have a habit of dying violently. I deplore the injection of violence into our politics. That it should be visited upon the man who introduced it seems as predictable as a beheading at a guillotine party.

Yeah, the world would be a better place without Donald Trump.

The simple fact is that we can't shoot them all. This is just more PR for the GOP. More - Trump's a martyr for America - It accomplished nothing that will help one bit to keep him out of office. Even bad publicity is publicity. Simply put - shit's fucked up. That sums up America right now. 
Well... maybe, just maybe... When Trump is president, he'll now have a bit of a "consience" and actually enact some proper gun control laws.
Dictator Donald isn't going to let the peasants have guns.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
