For sure, knowing how to treat water is essential. And hunting/ knowing how to make weapons. And being able to identify edible plants/fungi/insects.

A coworker of mine described this sort of thing as, “the house always wins.” Yeah, $120 can’t buy the value of the kid reading that much. Win.

Living in a rural area, I don’t have to make a machete. I can just choose one from the shed. Not everyone is so far removed from a survival situation.

There are ways to unsubscribe or at least reduce the subscription. Get a hormonal IUD… that’s a 5 year unsubscribe for most women. There’s a shot and a ring and a couple other options that’s reduce or cancel.
Talk to your doctor ladies. You don’t have to keep getting all that mail.

@xvarnah , I think ‘the other side is more quick to call my side evil’ is a matter of perspective too. Because, I am certainly more liberal leaning and in my experience the other side is more quick to call people who think like me evil hedonists.
Which of us is right? Quite simply, we both are. Lefties are more likely to slander the righties and righties are more likely to slander the lefties. I don’t hear the lefties talking trash as often as I hear the righties because they aren’t saying it to me. At least that’s what I assume because I have no grounds to invalidate the experience of anyone else.
The best we can do for each other is try to understand one another, try to understand where the other comes from and not perpetuate the behavior we are insulted/hurt/angered/annoyed by.

Considering the phizer vaccine needs to be stored at -25 to -15 C (-15 to 5 F) I’d say that vaccine was seriously degraded by the end of that story.

So, you can get waterproof/touch proof body paint. A couple years ago, I did this. I painted my face and neck and arms white and my hands and part of my wrists black. As well as a too wide mouth with sun sited teeth and a long black wig. I had white-out contacts and red around my eyes. It was super creepy and I was the jump scare at the exit of the haunted house. It was lovely and terrifying. The black hands really are extra creepy

I think that the real story. The spectrum goes both ways. There’s ridiculous radical left and ridiculous radical right. There’s moderates on both sides. There’s folks that lean one way or another but don’t want to deal with the crap from the others on that side and folks that lean one way or the other and wish they had the courage to dish out the crap. And there’s evil people on both sides. But generally, even if you think the people on the opposite side stand for something evil, that’s not the case. They firmly believe that they are doing /upholding what is Best for the people. Everyone is just trying to do their best—we all have different ideas about what that is.

According to Johns Hopkins the mortality rate in the US is 1.8%, and 2.3% in the UK.
Most countries report at least 1.5% with some as high as 9%.
So, ah, yeah… I think it is okay to say 2%.

I once had a really rough flight. There was so much turbulence that they couldn’t give us any drinks or anything. And the nervous tension on the plane was like a physical thing. As we were rolling up to the gate, the pool it did his spiel about the local weather and time. Finally, he wrapped it up and settled at the gate and said, “now get the hell off my plane.”
The entire cabin, who was fully desperate to do just that, started laughing.

I’m not saying she made a good decision. I’m not suggesting she was forced. But she was an intern and was manipulated by someone with a lot more power, wisdom and prestige than herself.
He’s the one that cheated on his wife and she couldn’t show her face in public. She was so much younger than him and he took advantage.
