everyone with two brain cells knows it’s terrible for people who buy things while not wealthy.

let me guess: fruit bats.

yes. why? because regardless of my opinion, when you make it illegal you make things worse for everyone. that goes for drugs, for people moving about on the earth, and all other such things.

if you have to conform to what a single group wants while ignoring the actual countries who created the games and those who host them, that’s not”bringing people together” it’s just giving in to narrow views and acting as if only one group has legitimacy and the right to decide on anything. there is no “bringing together” of different people and things in that.

they think that. somehow it doesn’t occurs to the “christians” that the olympics aren’t about them and aren’t focused on them at all. it wasn’t the last supper. it was homage to greek and french culture and history. because the olympics originated in greece and are being held in france. sheesh.

they aren’t. tens of thousands of homeless people in just cali alone.

you can also add to the courts. it’s been done before. there’s not just one option to rebalance.

we’ll never hear the end of it.

i doubt it, despite how it is for that one outlier. try it and see.

my two and i just got back from a walk. part of it is off leash. they found a freshly dead snake and boy, did it stink. they started playing tug with it and i had to use my bare hands to take it away and flight it as far into the brush as i could. snickers started to go after it but she is really good about listening to a firm “no.” rudy had managed to pull off a section as i was taking it away. he was chowing down. i bribed him with a bit of kibble. he didn’t go after it when i flung it. my hand stunk to high heaven till we got home where i could wash it. yeesh. dogs are small, a mini schnauzer and a “bochi” (boston-chi cross), both young too. one year and three years, respectively. great little dogs, and they get on fantastically.

all the time, and some pretty amazing stuff too. like the time i was 16 and went with a friend to grab some weed—at a biker house. one of the bikers asked me if id read “the satanic bible” and i said no. so he picked it up from the coffee table and said here, check it out. i read some. he asked what i thought. “it looks more like “the materialist bible to me” i said, mentally kickin* myself as i said it. shit, is he gonna get mad? i remembered thinking. fortunately, he just laughed. i was dying to leave, which we did not long after.

i had totally forgotten this till one day it just popped into my head.
