"Ooh fun, where were you thinking of moving to?"
This seems to be mocking but there is a trend of people moving from certain blue states.

Play sports.
I don't think any of these things listed are never again but maybe not this year.
In Maryland the buffets are open but I've not gone. Golden Corral has good fried chicken.

"if you look closely at the rock n roll hall of fame inductees you'll realize that's it's not really a rock n roll hall of fame. if anything it should be renamed as the all time pop music hall of fame."
It's not about Rock music and it's not about Fame either. Who are most of those people?
Doesn't seem to about success either because quite a few in there have just a few successful albums or songs.

"No, I don’t feel like returning to the time period women weren’t allowed their own line of credit without a husband authorization. (I think it was 1973 that changed?)"
This isn't exactly true. I think this story from Smithsonian more accurately describes the situation:

I don't think there are any reliable or centrist news networks. For example how the Weinstein stories were initially not reported.
But here's a story from the BBC:
NHS gender clinic 'should have challenged me more' over transition
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51676020
There's also a 60 Minutes story that includes some statements from Doctors and teenagers that diagnosis isn't always thorough before treatment.
The Doctor on twitter posted about how some hospitals deny her facilities for surgery on minors because of ethics. So not all medical institutions are on board.

nicespice >The only people who are going to suffer are the smug people who like being “served” and can do so easily thanks to cheap labor.
There are still a lot of senior citizens that need to be served because they can't use smart phones or the order kiosks.

People die every day because of mistakes in traffic and medicine. It doesn't mean they should be in jail.

Another good xmas rock song is this rock version of Twas The Night Before Xmas. You may have heard it on the radio back in the 80s.

There are some things that I would like to buy but pass on when I check the label and see Made in China. We need to stop financing our enemy.
Fortunately the internet allows you to find things that are still made in the USA. It's cool what you can find when you look for it.

" my wife and I adopt 4 “needy” kids every year for Christmas. They have very simple Christmas lists and I can’t even find the stuff on their list. Lego, Hot Wheels, Barbie."
You should try visiting some flea markets this weekend. Inside flea markets around me usually have permanent vendors and some are toy collectors that have new hot wheels etc.

"Have Kamala Harris and Corey Booker retracted their statements or apologized "
Nope. There are still tons of statements out there (from when the incident first happened) in support of Smollett and as far as I know they've never made any additional comments denouncing his actions. However I think Pelosi did delete her supporting statements.

"Risk and danger come with the job. Like police or fire jobs, its an assumed risk. Thats just reality."
I don't think it's wrong to say that risk comes with the (stripper) job but it's more like the risk faced by other entertainers, athletes, musicians, and actors who also have stalkers. Maybe it is more likely to happen with a stripper do to the more personal interaction in a strip club.

"What personal stories do you have dealing with pick up artists and con artists? Just out of personal curiosity.
I am interested in hearing your perspective. But in the meantime excuse me while I…
SEX WORK SEX WORK SEX WORK..."
??? I don't know what you mean by your last sentence. I wasn't commenting on the validity of the term sex work(er).
I don't have any personal experience with con artists. I've just seen examples on shows like 48 hours. Sometimes the story includes the victim stating how charming the other person could be and how they knew what to say to make them feel special.

"Lots of romance “hustles” are the customers hustling their own selves. ... You can’t “make” somebody like you more"
True with most people but pickup artists and con artists do exist and they know how to manipulate people. There are also people that lie about promises they don't intend to keep to get what they want.

>This is the smut they are banning:
>www.ala.org
That list doesn't have anything to do with the article. That list is record of past instances that books were banned or attempted to be banned.
What the article doesn't tell you is that some of the books parents want removed are sexually explicit books made available to elementary and middle school students. Other books that concern parents are so-called "anti-racist" books and gender ideology books.
examples:

>Why the fuck are they teaching any kids about Christ in public fucking school?
They should because it's a major part of history and sociology and still a huge influence on modern society. All the major religions should be studied but not preached. Personally I was never taught anything about religion in public school.
