My in-laws used to do this.

I love them, but every time they bought something new, they’d give us the old one like it wasn’t something they were getting rid of. Easier to give it to us than throw it away.

The last time was a sofa and a love seat. We were stuck with the most uncomfortable furniture I’ve ever had in my life.

In my case, that’s not from having ADHD, it’s from having coworkers.

After a brief period of work in the morning, it’s nothing but meetings and calls until mid afternoon.

Remember to moan with pleasure during the strip search. Ask if they’re single. Touch yourself. Smile seductively. Have fun with it.

They should check in with Doc Hopper. Kermit isn’t the easiest frog to catch!

Accept the plane, say thanks, then sell it.

Now ICE is going to be going after Kermit!!!

The state has no say in the matter. Neither does the Democratic caucus. The Constitution defines the circumstances under which a member of Congress could be removed. The only way to change that would be via an amendment to the Constitution.

Duh?

He’s a senator, so it would be the state of Pennsylvania.

From my googling, there’s no legal mechanism in Pennsylvania to recall an elected official. However, even if there was, recalling a member of the U.S. Congress would be unconstitutional.

The Senate would have to throw him out, and that’s not likely as long as the Republicans benefit from having him there.

Move all the books to the Canadian side now.

For me it is the faith in the non-existance of a supreme being or deity.

I agree. I prefer to consider myself agnostic rather than atheist.

I’m really a dishonest agnostic since I can’t really imagine a proof of deity that I wouldn’t discount as a hallucination.

I did have a dream many years ago in which I woke up with absolute proof that God existed, but then I went back to sleep.

When I woke later, I couldn’t remember what the proof was. If the proof was real, and God let me forget it, then he’s an ass and he doesn’t deserve my belief.

Based on what the article said, your general intolerance of religion might be the very symptom they were referencing.

Their research doesn’t suggest that damage to that particular area of the brain causes religious beliefs, but rather that it more or less locks you into your beliefs religious or otherwise.

The injured brain becomes less able to consider other viewpoints, so changing beliefs becomes less likely even when confronted with facts that disprove the belief.

Do you realize…

Dude started out by mentioning a couple of concussions and ended by stating he might not understand the research because of the concussions, so perhaps the answer is…maybe not.

Words matter. Fascism is a very specific thing. Calling every authoritarian government fascism just dilutes the meaning of the word.

Was it the fascism?

A real government would just make it based on mileage and weight regardless of how it is powered.

Learner.

It is.

Just like it would be outrageous to claim that Hitler was a Nazi. It’s outrageous to claim something that everyone already knows.

Educate us. What’s the difference?
