Two things:

1. All of these doctors performing these surgeries and such should be jailed and have their licenses permanently revoked.

2. What are autism-spectrum traits? Does she have it or does she not have it? I believe people these days claim to have autism so they can use it as an excuse or a badge of hobor

Electrical outlets at my parent’s house in their guest room. They stopped working a few months ago but when I put the non-contact voltage tester to the outlets, it indicated there was voltage on them. Found out the security system for the house was plugged into an outlet that is daisy-chained to the other outlet. Went to the security system display and saw an error code which YouTube said was a low battery. Found the electrical box for the security system, replaced the 12V battery and boom - error code went away and the outlets are back to working.

I’m still not sure how a 12V battery is connected to a security system that is plugged into a 120V wall outlet, but all I know is it’s fixed and I felt like I could solve all the world’s problems after that.

Absolutely. This idea of Civic Nationalism is a pipe dream. At the end of the day, groups stick together. That goes for whites, blacks, Jews, Indians, etc etc etc.

People like to use Rome as an example of Civic Nationalism, but native Romans were aware of their true heritage and their difference from the “new” Romans.

This is true. Just like the DSA vs the Democratic Party, the Republican Party is having its own schism and it’s not noticed by most of the older Republicans.

As uncomfortable as it is to say, much of it is centered around Israel and their influence in our politics (which funny enough is similar to the DSA vs Democrats).

The typical Republican believes in free-market capitalism which frankly doesn’t exist and we’re seeing the effects of globalism, unfettered mass immigration and changing demographics. The far-right believes in a form of socialism that protects the native population and preserves its culture, while still encouraging capitalism.

At least that’s my very simple description of the two sides regarding their economic stances.

Those glasses. Every time.

I like your style of sarcasm sir.

I really liked Don Rickles - he was quick, witty, would make fun of everyone (blacks, Jews, WASPs, etc.) but he always complimented the person at the end of the roast. Great guy. Too bad we don’t have more of him these days.

Great gif - 10/10

What. A. fig.

Goes to show how much of an impact Katrina had (or still has) on NOLA. Thanks for sharing.

Had to look that one up:

“Since the 1880s, we have proudly and resolutely worked to achieve protection for refugees and immigrants, doing so from a place of deep grounding in Jewish values, history, text, and experience. We’re an international Jewish humanitarian organization that has confronted and overcome many formidable challenges facing displaced people throughout our history and have evolved to be uniquely positioned to respond to today’s crisis.“

HIAS stands for Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

One of the many organizations that make our country great…
