    Cows are smarter than they look. Long ago I worked in a dairy operation and they would do things to fuck with you… like if you weren’t super careful in a milking stall they’d casually lean to one side (“oopsie! my bad”) to squish you. Or let the poop rip at just the right moment.

    I don’t blame them one bit.


  • Absolutely, but if you were really interested in facts this information is not hard to find once you stop watching cable news…… I doubt you’ll read any of it but here is a random google search….

    Your snark, arrogance and cynicism are unwarranted and inappropriate.

    But I do appreciate your providing some info - I was genuinely curious and didn’t quite know where to find this evidence - initial searches did not turn up the kind of “overwhelming evidence” you claimed existed. I’m not for a second disputing the USA’s involvement in coup attempts or regime change in general - I think this is quite adequately documented. But your claim was that there is “…overwhelming evidence Blinken has supported multiple coup attempts” but the best you can do is to essentially say he’s guilty of this personally because he has worked for the US government.

    That’s honestly pretty weak.











  • So it doesn’t bother you there are only two choices every four years?

    Of course it bothers me. Which is why I donate to and help with the campaigns for progressive candidates. But our political system is not going to change any time soon and throwing up your hands because the choices aren’t perfect is counter-productive. If you do that, you end up with LESS choice. By voting and voting consistently you open the door, even if it’s just a crack, for more progressive choices. By not voting you ensure that we continue to be stuck with two bad choices.

    Real progress has been made. And the real enemy of that progress is apathy.






  • There are now machines (Autorefractor) that will (more!) accurately get your prescription auto-magically. A couple of years ago I went to place that had one, but where the doctor also checked the traditional way. The results were the identical.

    I’d guess that inside of 10 years you will just get your prescription by computer and that inside of 25 surgery or other solutions will be automated and permanent. This industry of charlatans will be no more.
