Though statistically, guns kept at home are more likely to be used in an accidental shooting or suicide than as protection from a home invasion.

I've always heard "in oder to be successful you have to be able or willing to do things others can't or wont". Global competition and increased technology has pretty well evened out the ability side of that quote leaving behind the other factor of what people are willing to do. I think the biggest decider on what people are willing to do is based on personal morals and ethics, so a person more willing to ignore ethics has a better chance of becoming successful. This is supported by statistics that show corporate executives and politicians exibiting psychopathic traits at higher rates than the general population. The only way I can think of to correct this is to have regulations on ethics, which is why I whole-heartedly support the CFPB and despise Republicans who try to shut it down.

Well if the current front lines are pretty entrenched, and it's hard to take back occupied Ukrainian land, then just go take unprotected Russian land to make it even. Didn't Putin say he was up for a truce if the current lines were kept? Let's see how he feels about that when he has to give up Russian land. At the very least it will force Russia to relocate troops and resources.

Sunny is has been decent so far.

Time Bandits just started, and it looks like it could be fun.

Evil is finishing out strong

Serpent Queen is a good historical drama that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Snowpiercer about to start the new season after I thought it was canceled.

Yeah. Mainly I go for the "what are you watching this week" stickied post to get an idea of what new shows might be worth trying.

Yep, unfortunately I still have to go to r/television on reddit to find good recommendations because the television community here is dead.

While you might be right, it is a civic duty to vote. Your mindset is too dangerous, which is why the right-wing trolls try pushing it. Voting even why you know it won't make a difference is the most basic thing you can do to push back. Who knows what could happen if we get enough people out of that mindset. Simply voting, regardless of who for, is an event that every American should take pride in.

I would say Trump might deserve some of the blame for the pandemic because he cut the CDC's pandemic response funding in the 1st or 2nd year of his term.

It's just one more thing to memorize when trying to learn them. I'm not going to intuitively know what gender a chair is...

While I do agree with you, saying "look at this singular datum point" doesn't quite sound right.

If he gets excited his tail would knock things off counters and tables.
