There’s an urban legend in New York City.
One day, a patrol car in the Bronx finds a headless body laying in the street. The victim’s hands, feet, and skin was removed. There’s a massive response to find the deranged killer. Everything gets called off in a few hours, after the coroner realizes that it’s the body of a gorilla.
There was a hot dog factory in the area.

If you haven’t seen it, “Orphan Black” is a BBC show about a group of clones being hunted down by their creators.
One actress played about 20 different roles in the series; and there were a few scenes where all the clones were in the same room together.
Great show and a masterclass in acting.
Mostly.
Think the world would be all sunshine and friendship if the Saudi princes had the US arsenal? Putin? The people at the top didn’t get there because they played nice and shared their toys.
Be careful what you wish for.
I’m sorry, but that’s an absolute fantasy.
When have you seen anything like that level of international co-operation?
And have you stopped to think that there are a lot of rich and powerful people with a strong vested interest in keeping things going the way they are.
Listen to your SO’s friends and [close] family.
Your SO talks to them about what they really want.
Click bait that actually makes me glad I clicked???
I like the Libertarian classic novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.”
On the other hand, I can spned three hours pointing out all the ways the author had to massage reality to make his society work.
My personal theory is that the GOP will do a hostile takeover of the Libertarians if the ever become too unpopular.
Also, they don’t drain off support, because the Libertarians almost always vote R when it counts. You notice that Green Party Jill was active this cycle and you didn’t hear about the Libertarians once.
Seeing as how it would take at least a billion dollars to even get such a party off the ground, you can be assured that the mainstream media would treat it with respect.
I think that the only reason the Greens and the Libertarians managed to get national status was that the GOP wanted to have someone to drain off D support.
If you’re sitting for more than an hour straight that’s probably the problem.
OSHA rules demand that anyone sitting for more than 90 minutes straight get a 40 minute break.
Stop torturing yourself.
Drag yourself to the local store that sells chairs etc.
What is comfortable for one person is torture for another. Somethings have to be purchased hands on.
How did one so young gain such wisdom?
I have no idea why someone down voted something that obvious.
Like I said, very brief…

All of you have the same misunderstanding.
“Opaque” is not a color, but you can have a color that is opaque.
A white canvas sheet will stop light from going through; it’s opaque white.
LBJ thought he could win Vietnam with a single bold stroke. Nixon knew the War was unwinnable, but once the US forces were bogged down he kept redoubling down. LBJ made a terrible mistake, but it was Nixon who really screwed things up.
So, your evidence is your interpretation of what was a common expression for hundreds of years.
If I bothered to, I’m sure I could find plenty of Left organizations that used exactly the same phrase.
Also, Heinlein wrote “…All You Zombies” about a transman; he had an African woman as a major character in “Tunnel In The Sky”; he predicted a religious dictatorship ruling America in “Revolt In 2100.”
And condemning people for a single word or phrase IS directly from the Fascist playbook.
He said that he thought his DI did a good job of teaching him to be a responsible adult.
Look up ‘The Bonus Army.’ Those guys were all military veterans. They were also some of the most radical people in US history. When they came to Washington they tried to keep discipline like they’d been taught.
If forcing young people to act responsibly is ‘fascist,’ then every coach, teacher, and sensei is a fascist.
Sounds like the start of a Tony Hillerman [author] Joe Leaphorn mystery. Someone finds a body that looks like it’s a Native American ritual burial, but it’s not…
