Why is criticism reserved only for the one that did not start the current war?

Probably because none of us live in Russia, so criticizing them is a waste of time. Of course they suck, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Nobody in Russia is ever going to read our criticism.

We do, however, mostly live in NATO-aligned countries. We CAN affect change in our own countries. That is a productive conversation to have.

Can you show in what way is Ukraine more right-wing than Russia?

Nobody is claiming that. You’re having an argument with a guy you made up.

Called it.

Post hog.

Oh lord, no. Drivers are rarely held accountable for murdering cyclists. The “accountability” usually caps out at weekends in jail, picking up some garbage on the highway, and being real real sorry.

Mr. Georg would like a word.

We keep track of this info every single day on Hexbear. You really need to subscribe to our daily public policy bulletin if you want to keep up to date.

(That’s the gag. The article talks about an annual $800 travel/child care/wellness allowance like it’s the solution to this non-problem.)

Just give them a child care. What could it cost? $800 a year?

You don’t get to be a billionaire by paying for NFL Sunday Ticket. Embrace hustle and grind culture!

All good. I always try to assume good faith posting until proven otherwise.

This ain’t me!

Well then,

Yep. That’s what I said. You must have misread my comment. We’re on the same page.

Did they at least one-shot the quest giver?

As an enlightened political centrist, I would only eat at Them-Person Hooters. I inappropriately sexualize ALL genders!

I am very intelligent.

We’ve got our boosters scheduled for the week before school starts up.

We won’t be making the kids mask up again this year, though. Not because they don’t need to (they do), but because they’re old enough that bullying includes violence. Especially for a trans teenager.

Living in Hellworld is awesome!

In fairness, ol’ Joe just learned about the Tikky Tockies, so he thinks China is all clocks and timers now.

Okay, so:

Direct cremation is a very specific thing that morticians are obligated to provide, at risk of losing their license if they refuse. It costs less than a thousand bucks (but usually a lot less), and they don’t make a lot of money off of it. So, they’re unlikely to offer that service unless you use those specific words: DIRECT CREMATION.

What that means is your body is cremated, and your loved ones get your remains back in a plastic bag in a box. They can spread your ashes wherever you want. Or flush you down the toilet. But they probably shouldn’t do that, because there’s bits of bone in there and that would be really awkward to explain to a plumber. But you get the idea.

Funeral directors will attempt to take advantage of your family’s grief to upsell them on virtually everything imaginable. I mean, you loved X, didn’t you? Don’t they deserve the best? They’re monsters. When my brother died our parents were ready to hand over $15,000 to those ghouls for nothing. I intervened, and the same service they wanted was possible for around $800.

Fuck funeral homes.
