The closest equivalent for an Estonian might be if you had been forced to choose between suffering an American-style handling of the pandemic, or accepting annexation by Russia. It's possible that the long term damage done by Republican control of the Senate could have been prevented by a lack...

Honestly, that wouldn't be a bad move, and now that Trump has put that move on the table, they may as well use it to its fullest effect. Maybe not to that extent but the Democrats' humility is killing them. Regular checks from Democratic Presidents with their signature and a personal letter...

I can't jump myself, having downstairs neighbors. I may need to take up crunches or something like them again like leg lifts.

Hope you don't have downstairs neighbors! I've started watching a show online and have found it's a nice routine to do twenty pushups during each episode's intro. I can only do that three times so far, but it will get better with practice.

Communication is a two-way street. You didn't say "some men want women to be accessories," you said This left no room for interpretation; there was no "some men" there, and you've done this countless times before, making bold claims - to men - about what men are really like. Had you put...

I'd say that's pedophilia. Those female teachers in those stories seek out underage boys on purpose.

You claim all women think like you, and that all men view women as nothing more than accessories. You don't leave any room at all for interpretation there, or the validity of any experiences but your own. It would be nice if you acknowledged that you do not speak for everyone, and that men...

That seems like a ton of sweeping generalizations for me. You don't speak for all women or for any men.

Azeris were caught destroying old Armenian tombstones a few years ago, and those and churches are symbols of the Armenian people's roots in the region. That alone makes them targets - and remember, the Azeri people protested a few months ago after a border skirmish, demanding, "End the lockdown...

Now they're going to blow up churches and smash headstones and ethnically cleanse the whole region...

Well, I guess we now know what you mean when you use the word "kangaroohumper." You often tell us about how urban people don't understand rural or small town life, and it's true that people generally don't get how life is under different circumstances. But that cuts both ways. I live in an...

It's difficult to imagine anything more insane than the cult of Q that doesn't start a civil war. If they truly believe their opponents are a sinister cabal of pedophiles and that the courts can't do anything, they'll resort to violence when they think the time is right. And there's no counter...

They are the same. With each election the Republicans get crazier. Neocons were replaced by the Tea Party were replaced by Trumpers who have largely become Q Cultists who will probably just start the civil war.

Aw thanks, you're a good guy too. :) I'm probably mainly jaded by bad dates and by the abomination that is online dating. To me, online dating, at least, is basically a job market because you're applying for a position for someone who, in all likelihood, doesn't really care about who you are...

There are two states between Kansas and Illinois: Missouri, and Missouruh. Missouri is Kansas City, Columbia, and St. Louis. Missouruh is the rest. Missouri is Midwest. At least parts of Missouruh are South.
