Do you consider death to be giving up or getting lucky? Or had you just not considered that some people try very hard until the day they die without getting lucky?

Which makes all of the claims you and the others have made as to what that data actually means basically useless. All we know is that a lot of people think some definition of political correctness is some definition of problem. That's

I'm way more afraid of the US Government than the CCP. They're actually relevant to my life, beyond a vague "politics affects us all" kind of way. I'm more afraid of the guy holding a stick over my head than the guy

What are the two closest flavors that you can differentiate? Because those are some massive gaps in flavor to not taste any differently. Can you tell different brands of soda apart? Styles of beer? Does all liquor taste the same?

You've met a few unions? It's not really feeling like you have any specific domain knowledge here, given how sparse and off-kilter all of your replies have been. If you have actual counter-examples of other unions that operate dif

When I was in high school, one substitute teacher would try and get kids to compete over who could keep a piece of Dubbel Zout in their mouth the longest. I tapped into my Dutch ancestry and just calmly ate mine while everyone else seemed o
