"How am I supposed to explain this to my children?!"
  • I am a 66 year old American. I have no guns. The only time I have seen or operated one was when I was in the Navy in the early 1980s. I have seen the damage that guns can do several times in the 30 years I have been working as a child protective service caseworker/supervisor.

    Exactly. Delete Reddit.
  • Someone has it in for me over there. I have been temporarily banned twice in the last several months. It's insane. I think I am done with that site.

    Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption
  • Not going to buy an EV. No charging stations nearby. Can't install a charging station where I live. I probably have 10 years of driving left so I will stick with an ICE.

    About 1 in 4 US adults 50 and older who aren't yet retired expect to never retire, AARP study finds
  • I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I will be retiring next year with both a pension and social security. I work in county government and that was one of the perks.

    Gaza war protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, block traffic in other cities
  • Voting third party gives more power for the former president to win. I am not taking that chance. I think we have a better chance at working with the current administration to intervene positively after the election. If the orange menace gets in he will likely take the Israel/Palestine war to new levels.

    Gaza war protesters shut down Golden Gate Bridge, block traffic in other cities
  • Yes I agree. A coordinated approach at all state capitals and Washington, DC would probably have more impact. This is where the people who care about reelected live and work.

    The one and only downside to wearing crocs
  • My foot doctor recommended them and told me that Crocs have good arch support. When it rains they get a little slippery and my feet get wet. But they do dry pretty quickly.

    The one and only downside to wearing crocs
  • I love my crocs and wear them during the warm months of the year.

    They are also not good in the rain.

    I wear socks with them and give them a good soapy wash frequently. Never had any smell issues.

    They are great for traveling. They pack well and are easy going through security. Last year in Aruba I was pulled aside for secondary screening and they took my crocs to dust for explosives. I thought that was odd. I would never think of putting explosives in a pair of holey shoes lol.

    Utah Rep. Celeste Maloy endorses Trump’s plan for mass detention and deportation of migrants
  • I recently watched the following program on PBS: Nazi Town, USA which described the rise of fascism in America at the same time as the Nazis in Germany. It was an eye opening experience and one that has a hauntingly similar essence to our current situation in the USA.

    Why is Facebook still so insanely popular?
  • I started a facebook account in 2006 and stopped using it a few years later. I still have an account but only look at it maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

    I hate when I have to log in to find a business though. It 's infuriating.

    And I hate reddit with the glare of a thousand suns.
