I’ve tried to get away from it but I can’t. I look down on fat people while making every effort not to let it show.
Footnote: remember all those people who just couldn’t lose weight? It was genetics or metabolism or a weird something or other. But def not possible and don’t body shame: proud of their bodies. Well all those hogs got on Ozempic and look like Twiggy. Seems like all they had to do was stop eating.

Seriously? I cannot imagine what “certain people“ you are talking about. Between affirmative action, minority set asides, quotas, preferential admissions, and literally countless special programs, subsidies and initiatives, you can’t be serious.

Bingo! You are exactly right.

I attended Catholic school for 12 years and it was a discouraging experience. This was the 50’s and 60’s and we learned of a harsh and demanding god who would put your arse in hell in a heartbeat. Holding the Church out as infallible, we were told so many things were sins then that the same church ignores or tolerates today.
What I took away from that experience was the realization that the church came between me and God.
That said, my family is devoted and devout. They take a great deal from the Church which they find comforting and uplifting. It is a source of strength and sustenance to them.

As already said, this is a great example of the law of unintended consequences. Gates cannot be blamed for any of this. Primitive, ignorant people unable to help themselves are given a lifeline. They are too dumb and too corrupt to do anything with it except abuse it. The people handing out those nets are responsible for what is done with them. It seems apparent they are choosing to give them to fishermen.

I would suggest something needs to be done with or to that gator. Don’t wait until you wish you hadn’t waited.
Things only have to go wrong once.

Whole bunch. This is a team with marginal talent playing below their talent level. It’s not just that they lose, it’s the way they’re losing. If Coach O “lost the team” and it cost him his job, JJ is following closely in his footsteps. Either JJ can’t Coach or these kids dislike him enough to ignore him. Which one is worse?

I’m good with this. Snack/beverage service on a short flight has always been more of an annoyance than anything else.
And if you really need a Bloody Mary on that early flight to Houston? Get help.

I can only speak from personal experience. We have owned two Ford F1 50s: a king Ranch and a platinum. Simply could not ask for a better more reliable vehicle that is both fun to drive and extremely practical.. We never have had a problem of any sort on either vehicle. No experience with GMC but I can vouch for Ford.
