  • I have a hard time with the death penalty. I don’t think it should be used unless 100% certain guilt, like DNA evidence. But even then, stuff can be planted. And I used to say video evidence, but even that can be faked now with the rise of AI.

    So I lean more towards not having a death penalty, and using multiple life imprisonments instead.

    Lol. Good for you, getting back up on your feet.

    I’m using mattress girl as an example of how simply believing accusations can go very, very, very wrong. Not all women lie about sexual assault, but the very fact that some do means we cannot condemn someone merely for the accusations. As a 41 year old, you should understand that concept.

    But isn’t that interesting, that your response is to just forget that it ever happened because it didn’t happen last week. How very simple that would be, if we just forgot past lessons. Hey, in that spirit, we should just forget Hitler, he happened much further back than mattress girl did, so he should just be that much more forgotten then, shouldn’t he?

    It’s wild that your argument is “forget history,” but I’ve been thoroughly entertained, thank you.






  • Can someone explain to me why this is pushed so hard? I read up on the issue, and it was a friend of his who was trafficing girls. Then an FBI sting tried to coerce his father by offering a ton of money to get him to say his son was in on it. Local FBI set his dad up with a wire and they actually arrested/charged/sentenced the FBI agent who tried to go after him.

    Like, this is easily findable information.

    Wasn’t that the point? They knew both sides would be pro Israel and sent a message that without more Palestinian support, the Dems wouldn’t just get their vote.

    It worked, the Dems have been nothing but shocked and aghast at the outcome. Now the pro- Palestine base are hoping the Dems turn against Israel for the 2026 election to win back their vote.

    …the Dems won’t, by the way. They might pay more lip service to it, but they’ll never be anti-Israel.




  • It’s going to vary wildly. No two relationships are alike.

    But, some of my favorite parts are coming home to the same place and getting a smile and a hug, deep conversations about random topics, weekend walks or am coffee trips. Planning your day/weekend/month/year, working towards mutual goals.

    There’s a genuine calmness when you’re dating someone you can be yourself around. It’s one of the best things about being in a relationship
