Look, Dewitt is a good looking woman and belongs in this thread, but Suzanne Summers was an extremely rare goddess, on this every man but you agrees.

A - She’s old
B - Don’t trust internet or tabloid photos. They’re usually modified, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Which ever gets clicks.
C - These old female stars will often have extreme cosmetic procedures to try to keep looking sexy, often with disastrous results. It’s a form of dismorphia.

There are a lot of “normal” people who absolutely love cruises, mostly retirees. I’m baffled by it, but lots of people I know take multiple cruises a year.
I could see a contraction in the market but not a collapse.

Not picking on you Cosmo, but it’s difficult to miss when Obama/Biden’s terms had higher gas prices it was all the rage. Now, it seems like folks are saying “man up if it’s a few extra bucks.”
This is fair, and I agree. However, remember that Biden’s inflation and high gas prices were an intentional decision of his administration, or at a minimum an expected outcome that was chosen “for the greater good”.
I’m talking about shutting down pipelines, restricting oil leases, controlling the finances through global control of money and credit with ESG standards, dumping money on the market with a pent up demand being released after covid, etc.
Trump’s policies are the opposite, with the very notable exception of the war in Iran and the ongoing global oil disruption that it is causing. The outlook for the aftermath is all positive for lower gas prices. This truly does seem to be a temporary situation.
Remember too that all of those who hate Trump in this country and abroad are trying to capitalize on ant-Trump sentiment related to gas prices and are doing what they can to inflate prices to put the blame on Trump.
I’m referring to things like the Lloyds of London bs.

A poorly kept secret is that some church women really throw themselves at the halfway decent looking priests.

Honestly, it's just another partisan hack branch of government. No precedent matters and laws will be deemed "unconstitutional" based on if Republicans or Democrats control the court.
Not exactly. The divide is between those who believe in Constitutional restraint and those who are comfortable reinterpreting the Constitution based on how they feel about it.
Its not just two sides following the same recipe, but subtle differences in understandings create different cakes from that recipe.
In today’s America, one side says, “Screw the recipe, I don’t even like cake! Cake was invented by racist dead white men who oppressed us with their extreme patriarchy!”
And then claims that the other side isn’t following the recipe.

What mechanism brought life from non-life?
I’ll agree for argument sake that there is some mechanism that produced sufficient basic amino acids as the precursors to proteins. (There’s not enough time to do this, but that’s a different argument.)
What mechanism produced advancements in this basic life form?
Mutation? Mutation of what? Where’s the DNA code?
This reproductive capacity of DNA is necessary before mutation can occur.
Tell me the “settled science” on how this process works.

Wrong. It might be true, but the science absolutely does not establish this. You’re projecting your beliefs, which is also demonstrated by the next thing you said.
quote:
The alternative—that humans were created by God in one instant act (e.g., the creation theory in Genesis)—has a probability of essentially 0% under empirical methods.
No scientist says this including the many SCIENTISTS who are critical of the current evolutionary theory. The fact that you framed the discussion this way shows either lack of integrity or lack of knowledge of the subject and the science.

If somehow this movement got some steam, what would happen is that the handful of players who boycotted would sit out a game and the team would proceed without them. Those players would then return for the next game.

re: Question about men competing in women’s sports

Are physical sporting activities that different than dragging fire hoses, wrestling with suspects on the ground, running after suspects, carrying people out of buildings, etc.?
Your point is well taken. The same factors that make it appropriate to separate men and women in sports are also at play in certain types of physical jobs.
But the difference is that its not a competition in the workplace (usually). The worker can either do the minimum level necessary or they can’t.
Having said that, too often women have been encouraged and allowed to get jobs for which they really can’t perform well, even hired over more qualified men are not hired.
It gets even worse when many women take over a typically male occupation and don’t have enough men around.
It’s not just the physical aspect, it’s also the way of thinking and working together.
They shouldn’t even be talking about the Championship until they fix the NIL with no restrictions or contracts problem.

A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters.
Another word whose definition has been obliterated and bastardized by the left - “mass”.
I’m pretty sure that “the masses” don’t have to worry about being surveilled by ICE. Only the specific individuals who are creating a disturbance around ICE officers will be “surveilled”, ie. monitored for crossing the line from “peacefully demonstrating” to inciting a riot or interfering with officers in their lawful duties.
It’s like the term “mass incarceration”. They like that the term invokes the fear of being rounded up willy nilly based on your skin color. In truth, LOTS of incarceration is due to the fact that there are LOTS of persistent violent criminals in a society that coddles persistent violent criminals.

Nevertheless, illiteracy is rampant in our urban schools. Its the deep-boned RACISM of low expectations.
