The only danger I see in communism is that no matter how benevolent it starts, communism will always (eventually) become a dictatorship. If we could somehow take human greed out of the equation, communism could be really nice for everyone. As long as humans are in charge, communism will suck for nearly everyone.
The idea behind Universal Basic Income (UBI) is that everyone gets it. Rich, poor, and everyone in between. There is no criteria (other than maybe citizenship) that would prohibit getting the money. That helps to prevent what you are describing.
I'm sure someone will figure out a way to make it terrible in some way, but we have to implement it first and then deal with the hiccups.
I feel for you. I know that dealing with the average 10 year old can be difficult.
I keep think of Temple Grandin. The reason is because I wonder if there are any support groups that have some people with high functioning autism in them who might be able to help you to relate or help your daughter to communicate her feelings to you. I don't know just a thought.
How long has she been taking these meds? Is it possible that she does not feel like herself when she takes the meds? I remember when I was taking Adderall for ADHD the symptoms improved, but I didn't feel like the same person anymore. I wasn't me. I eventually stopped taking it for other health reasons but when I did I felt like I was me again.
Perhaps that is what is going on for her? Maybe this medication works great for improving interactions with her but it alienates her from herself?
Okay, fine. Sure. Now impeach every single one of those cowardly mutherfuckers who voted against the border bill last week!
And Democrats! Stop standing so much on your principles and call these mutherfuckers out for this shit! Repeat it endlessly until it sinks into the public mindset!
On an episode of BBC's: Planet Earth I saw an eagle grab a small goat, carry it off a cliff, and dropped it. Effective to be sure and kind of clever for the bird, but terrifying to watch.
The difference for me is Reddit started treating it's loyal users like sellable assets. I loved Reddit, it was a comfort zone for a long time, but they betrayed my trust, so I left and I have no intention of returning.
I doesn't matter if Reddit is really dead or not. They are dead to me.
This didn't stop being a problem for me until I made a long term effort to only allow my keys to be in my hand, in the ignition of my car, or in my pocket. Not my coat or jacket pocket either. My pants pocket. I may not always have my jacket, but I always take my pants. Opening a door and leaving them in the lock is also not allowed. I used to do that and then leave them there all night long. No matter how inconvenient it may be at that moment, this rule is never to be broken.
Keys are in the hand, ignition, or pocket only!
I never let go of them unless they are going in the ignition or my pocket.
It was hard at first and I continued to lose them for a while. But I kept at it and because I did this the pattern is now habit and my keys haven't been lost in years.
I've got fifty cents that says this dude watches an extraordinary amount of gay porn and somehow he thinks that is shameful. It isn't, but he thinks it is.
I have thought something similar for a while. The number of robocalls and survey calls we get on our landline phone outnumber the calls we get from friends and family something like 10 to 1. At this point, if we don't recognize the number, we don't answer it. Most everyone I know does the same thing. So there is an entire swath of people who never answer these polls and are not represented.
I'm also suspicious of any news suggesting that Arab and Palestinian Americans are going to vote for Trump because of what is happening in the Middle East. As bad as it is for Palestine right now, I believe it will be so much worse under Trump.
If you have a vacuum bag sealer, you could make some custom bags that hold two eggs or more, crack the eggs into the bag (a wide-mouth funnel helps), vacuum out most of the air and seal them. Lay them flat during the initial freeze and they will store great!
I use it to control some of the lights in my house. WiFi enabled plugs and switches are more convenient than having to go to each one and manually reprogram them. In my bedroom, I have one set to turn on every day at 7am and again at 9am in case I turn it off and go back to bed. It's basically a silent alarm clock.
I also have WiFi control for the mini-split (AC and heat) in my workshop. I can view the set temperature vs the actual temperature from my phone and I can adjust the temperature remotely if I want.
Those red hats do seem to have a "mark of the beast" flair to them. They aren't the permanent mark indicated in Revelation 13:16, but I think if you wear it every day it may as well be.
I'm not a Christian, but his followers certainly are. I wonder how they don't see it?

I do.
The better question is this: How does trying to make Biden lose the primary in Michigan help the people in Gaza?
Right... Because there is another real choice in this race.
The orange con-man is even friendlier to Israel and would help to escalate this tragedy.
I don't like the choices either, but the one that isn't Biden is so much worse!

My first thought was anti-labor.

You only need a key to activate Windows. Windows 10 and later will install and run just fine without activation.

Not to worry. Before it explodes, our sun will expand into a red giant much larger than the orbit of the Earth.
No one on Earth will be around to witness the explosion. So we have that going for us, which is nice.
Yep. Leave them in the pants pocket until I transfer them to a fresh pair.
Sleeping me is not to be trusted with such things. 😴

American citizens who reside in one state are not the property of that state and cannot be prohibited from traveling to other states. Case closed.
