Might as well get it over with at that point. If Putin does decide to strike first, yeah, Washington or NYC gets hit. OK. We'll live. Russia will be flattened by the entire world's nukes at that point, and the likes of China w

Donald Trump doesn't show stregnth, if anything, he's cosplaying as an effeminate she-male with the lifts, the makeup, and the wig. Donald Trump is not a strong man. He is a weak baby with no self-control and very little knowledg

Sure - moving a few dozen nuclear warheads to Kiev and telling Russia "Kiev has nukes now, make one step further into Ukraine and we'll make sure they'll hit the Kremlin by end of day today". And then tell Putin "he

Rest in peace, GM Spassky. He made wonderful contributions to the game, and was a gentleman to boot. Applauding your opponent in the middle of a world championship game? Class.

Trump: "there are very fine people on both sides" when discussing white nationalists and literal neo-nazis. Yet olympic level mental gymnastics are preformed by "his" people routinely to avoid calling a spade a spade.

The tangible value is that I support a locally owned business (the money i spend stays in the community), can use it as a third space (as you correctly pointed out) to find like-minded individuals, and above all else, be in a space where ev

Support your local bookstore, before they are all gone. Physical copies of books might be tough if space is at a premium, but I love having a bookshelf. I can quickly look back to specific books or chapters or notes or whatever. Plus it g

"Pro" pickleball is quite possibly the most boring sport I've ever seen. Hope to (deity of your choice) that this is a fad that dies out. The game has already been optimized. It's tap-tap-tap and winner. There's

Indeed, and a lot of the time the more casual players often bring stereos or speakers to the courts and blast music. It's incredibly annoying. A park near me tore up one tennis court and erected 2 pickle courts, and the people that pl

Fantastic game. Shame that no developer takes risks like this anymore, the whole concept was just so foreign, so strange, yet it worked.

Non-citizens don't vote, and can't vote. Can you prove that the entire list of cleared votes, was indeed 100% of people who were ineligible to vote? Judge shopping is the GOP's favorite passtime. I hate both parties but it&#

One of my neighbors when I grew up was part of Hitler Youth, and had moved to the US after the war. (for time context, I'm in my mid 30s, and he died a decade ago at IIRC 95 or 96, and I asked him about it maybe 20 years ago.) I ask

I too enjoyed The Economist's reporting on foreign affairs and world news. I found their editorials to be completely wacky and out of touch. Same could be said for the WSJ.
