So just dough nuts.

I have a three year loan at 1.9%. Why would I cough up an additional $20k now, when I could hang on to my cash and, at the very least, leave it in an account that earns twice that (and then some) in interest?

Yeah, I joined the Marines in 2009 and we were the first class at PI to do the Combat Fitness Test. But there's that word again, and it ends up being another PFT. Even I could 300 the CFT and I was never a PFT stud, just pretty good. But neither tested my mettle like walking really far with a bunch of shit on my back or not sleeping.

Personally, fitness tests is a fitness test and has nothing to do with combat. I'll always remember our company high PFT in SOI dropping out of the 25k hump. The guy who literally "set the standard" by being the fastest and doing the most pullups was on the ground saying he couldn't walk. Nice kid, but toughness doesn't necessarily equate with fitness.

And once I got to my unit I decided there were plenty of Marines who didn't belong there, and that there were women who could probably outdo them. Of course, this warred with my desire to walk around in my silkies and make homoerotic jokes with my buddies, but perhaps that's not the whole point.

Say what you will about RFK, but he's broken clock right on a couple of issues, pesticides being one of them. Sure, maybe his rationale isn't right, but his end game may be a benefit. Unfortunately it's at odds with Trump's complete destruction of regulation, but he (RFK) seems to be chugging along. I think making America healthy is good; I don't think pesticides or ultra processed foods make kids transgender.

Ha, I told a joke in middle school and they had to call the police, so I feel ya. It was 25 years ago.

How about humor?

Unfortunately it's necessary, or you get people running experiments on children. We just can't seem to rely on people to do the right thing, or perhaps they lose sight of it. Tunnel vision is real.

Yeah, otherwise you get some real assholes doing experiments on pregnant women and twins.

I think it's a discussion worth having, so long as both sides realize there needs to be lines drawn.

I have. In the past couple weeks I've had to bring up multiple times how the opinion on Reddit six years ago, when Tencent invested, was concern that China would begin to sway the opinions on the site. Fast forward and here I am reminding folks of that as they ostensibly shill for China. It's complete insanity.

That's great. I'm glad and I would love for it to be the case here. Legalization can, at the very least, open up the doors to the glories of capitalism as far as industries to help people with drug addiction, and presumably we'd get the benefits of good clean drugs and all that.

None of that has to do with smuggling fentanyl into a foreign country and your (deserved) deportation afterwards. Also has nothing to do with an administration who thinks it's funny to post an AI generated image satirizing it. Both of those things are no-nos, in my uneducated opinion.
