If the wealthiest man on Earth wants shitloads of offspring and there aren’t 100,000 women lining up, jesus, what does that say about the man?!
I’ve talked to a few young women who treated the father like a sperm donor because they wanted kids. It wasn’t as cold-blooded a calculation as it sounds, but yeah, they didn’t give much a fuck about who the father was, just felt that bio clock running out. Didn’t know that was a thing until I was much older.
This article does a poor job of covering the background.
But Louvre workers call Macron hypocritical and say the 700 million to 800 million-euro ($730 million to $834 million) renovation plan masks a deeper crisis. While Macron is investing in new entrances and exhibition space, the Louvre’s annual operating subsidies from the French state have shrunk by more than 20% over the past decade — even as visitor numbers soared.
Bit of a strange post, but hey, OP learned a cool thing today. I use my Android when my home internet shits the bed. Super slow, but it works well enough.
Windows has (had?) the ability to share internet through Ethernet a couple of decades ago. I think it required a crossover cable? Anyone remember what I’m talking about?
EDIT: ChatGPT found it by inputting the above text. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)! Gods it’s been a long time since I did that.
If you’re a Mexican politician who has, in any way, crossed the cartel(s), you have to know there’s a target on your back.
My question is this: Do they not have access to government protection? Hell, even private protection?
I’m barely above average IQ, not a great shot, no formal combat training, yet I feel I could have fended with them off with my AR and a like-armed buddy. Again, I’m certainly no badass, but an AR with a mid-tier red-dot sight is literally a point-and-click interface. Some kind of panic lock and strong door would likely have gone a long way as well.
In May, the mayor of Santiago Amoltepec was shot dead in an ambush along with two other people who were in the car with him at the time of the attack.
THAT is different situation altogether, requiring professional security. But they couldn’t have a couple of armed men to guard a building? Just standing inside looking out the window? What am I not seeing here?
Police corruption will certainly come up, but I feel they have to keep that on the down-low, not, “Oh! It’s you guys! Come on in!”
We Americans have little past by which to define ourselves, so we fall to “We’re the best!”. There’s a joke to be made about white supremacists doing the same.
Love us or hate us, you gotta admit we’ve had one hell of a run in a very short time frame.
There is much literature (heh) that quotes the same numbers, or near enough. So yeah, I’m going to say most Americans can’t read. And BTW, this is one of the most shocking truths I’ve learned in life.
As to your second point, I have a personal hypothesis that cancer is the reason for the middle-aged gut. Hell, guess it could be disease in general. Anyway, with a few extra pounds you have more time to fight.
Similar to my ex-wife who grew up on well water with loads of minerals. She found tap water to be disgusting and said it tasted of chemicals. And everywhere I’ve lived in America, the tap water is indeed loaded with chemicals.
For anyone wanting a cool experiment to try: Turn your tap water on full blast and fill a cup. Immediately hover your nose directly above the water and take a deep smell. Now set that glass in the sun for an hour or three, or just leave it on the counter for a day, smell again.
For a longer term experiment: Water identical plants with a) only tap water, b) only rainwater. I catch rainwater and have found a profound improvement in my house plants and terrariums.
All of this shit is just an historical trend. Things will come back around quite nicely.
