The west has the opposite problem. I follow this drought monitor because water is a precious commodity where I live: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ As of 8/2021 you can see that almost the entire western US has some degree of serious drought. By some miracle, the eastern part of Colorado is getting enough moisture and Denver is currently out of drought conditions. We do get smoke from fires originating in CA, OR, WA this time of year, and can be really depressing. It's often bad enough that road cycling is out of the question. We'll be seeing more of the same with climate change -- either not enough moisture and fires or too much water and flooding.

Cartoonish curves; the wonders of plastic surgery. She would appeal to the older crowd, those with a repressed Oedipal complex. She was probably gorgeous before the plastic surgery.

It was in today's WSJ, too, although behind a paywall: https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-sets-new-rules-for-youth-no-more-videogames-during-the-school-week-11630325781 Totalitarian for sure -- but at least the Chinese kids won't grow up as fat, brain-dead, slobs living in some online fantasy world. Let's face it, it's a good strategy for the Chinese to continue with their quest for world dominance. Look for an increase in murdered Chinese parents, though.

Three dissents on the SC ruling -- but I think I'm with the conservatives on this one. The CDC doesn't have the authority and it should be up to Congress.

@Cashman: "It’s likely garbage and possibly created by the OP to troll..." ____________ I doubt that. The OP clearly states that the crime data is normalized to the population. By presenting per-capita crime data, it emphasizes smaller places and vice versa. What @Spice said about crime consistently falling since the early 90s is correct. And proving @McNulty correct, I'll state that the notion that our cities are dystopian nightmares with out-of-control violent crime is a Trumpian myth to get the law-and-order vote. However, there was an increase in homicides during Covid. List brings back memories of CA. Irvine is a diverse place -- but it's almost half Asian at this point. Old long-term GF (5.5yrs) in my 20s lives there now. Another GF from early 20s lived in Simi Valley.

Yes, it makes a woman much more gooder.

There are MDs in the sugar bowl (which amounts to sex work) in this country and the average debt held by MDs leaving medical school is something like 1/4 million. Slightly over half in med school are now female, overall.

Of course, not one person in this thread is willing to acknowledge that the owner of this site has explicitly created a separate forum for political discussions. The owner has also created multiple tools to ignore any content that you find boring or offensive. Now I'm of the opinion that there's not all that much to learn about strip clubs; you pay money and attractive girls pretend to find you interesting. After the 15th discussion about whether you like tattoos and another 25 discussions about cumming in your pants, discussions about the growing totalitarian trends of the country might be more interesting. I like the current events topics. If you're in the AARP crowd and interested in bragging about your prostitution habit, we've got you covered here, too. In short, there's something for everyone. Founder knows what he's doing, IMHO. To the guys griping about the need for a moderated forum, you already have PaulDrakes forum -- yet you keep coming back here for some unknown reason.

The CEO and two others at Cyber Ninjas are sick with Covid. Lol! Those anti-maskers really know how to stick it to he libs.

Maybe she's mining Bitcoin?

Yes, it looks like we didn't invade Iraq until 2003. I remember indiscriminate bombing but I guess the details have grown foggy over the past 20 years.

@Mark: "were you alive on Sept 11, 2001 ? Because I remember it clearly. Every person in America wanted us to go into Afghanistan and kill those fuckers. " _______ Yeah I do remember being in Silicon Valley at the time and everyone around me was wondering why we were bombing Iraq (not Afghanistan). Why? Tetra's explanation above is as good as any.

Study appears to show that men show increased sexual interest in women wearing red: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/insight-therapy/201301/red-alert-science-discovers-the-color-sexual-attraction I wouldn't take anything from Psycholgy Today too seriously. Slender/pretty/smart, only things I care about.

I swear to God I posted without seeing Justin's post.

My annoying uncle David Anderdon is a MAGA antivaxer and he doesn't carry any health insurance because he doesn't like Obama. He also reads InfoWars daily. He's complaining about shortness of breath, and I'm wondering if it's safe to intubate the dude with my old Hoover vacuum? I'll change the filter bag to keep things sanitary. Please advise. Thanks.

@papi:"case in point of only one narrative allowed to be disseminated" Lol, it was more than disseminated; his BS went viral

Yeah I was reading about Stock. He's basically a GP gone rogue with pseudoscience and BS. It's amazing how some of these quacks get into med school.

For anyone interested, wapo had a multi-part series on the topic starting here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/16/us-is-growing-more-unequal-thats-harmful-fixable/ Adios, poor thread.

Actually Warrior does care about the topic. In the past the the sum total of his opinion is that anyone who cares is " jealous."

"There’s 20 million millionaires in the USA. Is that a few?" __________ Out of 328 million? Yes that's only about 6% of the population. I might just be one of them. We have the highest wealth inequality of all G7 countries. Billionaires engage in ego trip space flights while people starve on the ground.

Congrats Shadow and hope you're feeling well. What I remember about you is that you beat cancer about the time I joined. You must be as tough as fucking nails.

I bet she's from Colorado Springs

Just a clever stripper hustle to bring in the Christian Evangelicals.

Pretty, slender, natural, athletic -- what's not to like? Except the fact that all of them are out of my league. @Sancho has good taste.
