(63,221 posts)I'm not even religious, but it is going to take a flat out miracle to save this country. There is always a chance that most of them will get Covid and die.
I feel like this has all been one big, creepy version of The Twilight Zone and hopefully we will all just wake up any minute and have a good laugh about it.

(42,672 posts)and a rending apart of the ties that bind is social media.
Three key events were September 26, 2006, when Facebook opened to everyone aged 13 and older with a valid email address, then in mid March 2007 at the 2007 South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) conference. During the event, Twitter (which was publicly launched 15 July 2006) usage increased from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000. By 2008 it was up to 100 million per quarter, and a little over a year later it was up to a rate of 50 million per day. The 3rd major seminal event was on June 29, 2007, when the first iPhone launched, which ushered in the explosion of mobile social media using smartphones on titanic scales.

September 26, 2006 was the day Facebook was no longer exclusively used by college students and was opened to the general public. When Facebook was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, it was exclusively for college students. Jillian Broaddus of Technique recalls I distinctly remember being a pre-teen, looking longingly at my older brothers computer screen as he browsed a strange website called Facebook. When asked why I could not have the privilege of owning an account, he adamantly insisted that the site was exclusively for college students.
Facebook indeed excluded non-college students by requiring a .edu email address during registration. The idea was that college students in your area could connect with each other. For example, it could be used to advertise events to other college students. Opinions, comments or pictures could be safely posted without the worry of parents, family members or even potential employers viewing them because of privacy settings and content controls that existed on the site.

(33,643 posts)I'm thinking the dropping out of HS to plop out a kid may have something to do with ... things. Her wiki page lists no further education progress, which makes total sense.
Here's a fun fact I didn't know, not that it's particularly important in the grand scheme ... She doesn't know who her father is. She is, to use Biblical parlance ... a BASTARD, and the kind where Mom doesn't even know WHO her baby-daddy is.
True story.
Wonder if that might be part of what's made her ornery like she is. That's got to be the sort of thing that people with her 'values' ... would look down upon is what I mean.

How does any form of mechanical energy reproduce itself? Is she saying that wind turbines are gay?

Declaring this the real reason she got coal in her stockings each year at Christmas - to witness the miracle of coal-procreation and the one true green energy.

GoCubsGo
(32,061 posts)"EWWW" doesn't even touch the surface on that one. What's even worse is that she reproduced. She's got 4 or 5 boys, who are probably all going to grow up to expose themselves to teenage girls, like Daddy did. Those poor kids. They got a double dose of stupid.

practitioner, I decided that if I ruled the world, parenting would be a licensed profession and I would be more than willing to decide who got one and who didnt. Bimboebert would not have been given a license.
It often seems that there is an inverse relationship between intellect/ability and fertility. Mores the pity.

(10,472 posts)Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado just got a crash course in why you shouldnt insinuate that your political opponents are perverts and pedophiles when your own husband reportedly once pled guilty to exposing himself to a minor.
