I think the thing it does is prevent migraines. I was getting 1-2 a month and now it's 1-2 a year. Smoking after a migraine starts makes me feel like my head might actually fall off my body, no fun.

The cost isn't reduced anymore, and that's another contributor to this problem. $300 for a neuter, $550 to get shots and a neuter for a stray at local veterinary offices. You have to find a non-profit doing low-cost operations to get a cat neutered for under $150 in my state. Insurance in the veterinary market was a truly cruel and stupid idea.

She "bought" the lectern from a friend of hers, then she and the friend took a trip to Paris with the money (is the word on the street in Little Rock).

The Baptists in my family don't know what "Christian nationalism" means but would like the sound of it, and they basically equate the pope with a rainbow flag. I wish, but this pope isn't changing minds in the American South, even if he tries.

Back off, Warchild. Seriously.

I enjoyed Lafayette by Harlow Giles Unger so much I stopped reading it for a couple weeks when I noticed I was almost through it. Did not want it to end.

Alison Weir is one of my favorite authors; two of her best (I think) are Queen Isabella (what a fuckin story) and The Lost Tudor Princess, which sounds vague and flighty but is like a high-beam flashlight into the time period.

These are not people learning new ideas and sharing them. They know it's disinformation from the jump. Their aim is to trick you into believing they are genuine.

It is quite the interesting coincidence that both Twitter and Reddit have driven away scores of intelligent, critical users in the year before an election.

article titles on its Arabic website include "The Holocaust — that great deception", "Why do the Jews rejoice at the burning of Notre Dame in Paris?", "Jews and Freemasons in the Arabs' revolutions", and "The Jews of 'Israel'" — this is why their end is certain"

They also refer to the Ukrainian government as a "Nazi regime."

Your choice, but choosing to believe that site is plainly asking to be lied to. Advising others to "check sources twice" is pretty laughable in this context. This is unintelligent and blatant propaganda.

I think Leftism could still pass for a new release. It, Massive Attack's Mezzanine, and GusGus' Polydistortion would be my top contenders, cuz that shit has not gotten old yet, for me.

Out of Time by REM would be alright, too! If I can skip "Shiny Happy People," ugh.

This "article" also doesn't mention a single death due to being deprived of a water break. There's zero mention of anyone asking for and being denied water. Some of the deaths were hikers. It's "water breaks were banned" and then "people died," and nobody's reading the article to find out those two statements are tied together for sensationalism alone. Nobody was denied a water break and died because of it. Lame journalism.
