Haven't there been some recent reports that the U.S. might actually not fare so well against China in direct conflict? I don't think it would come to that at any rate, at least not in an all out war sense

Yes this is very true As long as both people are open minded and try to assume positive intention (unless proved otherwise) I think differences are just fine. I don't think I could date someone who could only accept the party line, whe

Yeah I am considering switching to an iPhone. A big kicker was opening the default Weather app on my Samsung Galaxy S9 and seeing an inappropriate ad that took up 1/3 of the screen. Absolutely shameful that they would be so desperate f
