  • Not true. They voted, and THAT legacy will be with us for a LONG time…

    And sadly, I don’t even mean DT - there’s Ted Cruz, Moscow Mitch, the whole cohort - along with all the international agreements that we’ve already pulled out of and so on.

    See, they left us something after all?! :-P This economy, lack of access to healthcare, and so much more!?

    Btw, I don’t know about you, but I have a retirement plan for my old age. I plan to die. :-P

    In fairness, it is less that they are “selfish” and more that they are “clueless” (to the point of obstinacy, outright refusing to open their eyes) - b/c as you said, your mother didn’t inherit anything, and yet THEY are fine, so why wouldn’t you be, with nothing left to you either? (remember as you think this through to remove all of the actual “facts” first, and add the layer of Faux News Nostalgia factor)




  • First and most especially the single most important factor: b/c I thought it sounded cool. 😎

    Second, I googled “what does Zaddy mean” - oh wait that was earlier in the day, cough, I mean I googled “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, found that it was first aired in 1939, and so put that.

    Third, it is a popular meme format.

    But mostly b/c it sounded cool (yet is accurate).


  • Welcome to late-stage capitalism, where companies sell what you do not want to buy. e.g., no wired connection has ever once had this problem, but they had to sell more thingies, so now everything is bluetooth, whether it should be or not, plus it seems like nobody ever bothered to finish implementing bluetooth - e.g., this exact issue you are having, which surely could be fixed except… why bother, when you (& your neighbors) have already bought all the thingies?




  • The title used by the reporter:

    A Popular Sweetener Was Linked to Increased Anxiety in Generations of Mice

    The title of the original publication:

    Transgenerational transmission of aspartame-induced anxiety and changes in glutamate-GABA signaling and gene expression

    I did not read the latter so I cannot vouch for it, but the former is most definitely click bait, through and through, from title to content. I mean, here we are talking about it and sharing the link so… they accomplished their purpose, and why should they care what happens afterwards?
