That's why the American West has a culturally Southern orientation too -- white people in the South couldn't compete with slave labor, so they moved west in higher numbers than whites in the north.

Maybe arsons in less-flammable times don't result in newsworthy conflagrations. Nobody cares about the fires that remain small and burn themselves out quickly. During fire-prone times, any arson is liable to become a big deal.

I read recently that cats have been evolving to be less friendly to humans, at least in the West, because friendly pet cats are spayed or neutered, as are strays that are caught by people. The cats that are reproducing are strays unfriendly enough to avoid animal control. Seems plausible the same effect is occurring for dogs.

I have a Puerto Rican friend whose daughter has terrible taste in men. Every time I see him, he brings up out of the blue like "You know, Peruvians are all retarded and they fuck dogs", and I'll say "your daughter's dating a Peruvian guy huh?" He's got a reason to dislike every Spanish-speaking nationality. Colombians beat their wives and are all gay, Venezuelans are poor and smell like trash, Salvadorans are miniature gangsters, Mexicans are morons, etc. She's had a lot of boyfriends.

In D&D a long time ago, I mentioned that you could estimate the time by using the width of your fingers to measure the distance between the sun and the horizon. My friends pooh-poohed this and mentioned it for years as an example of me being stupid and believing in dumb shit.
Until Johnny Depp did it in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Then they accepted that it was real. No amount of me googling it, finding good sources or even literally doing it so they could see it was real would help. They had to see Johnny Depp do it.

The main competitor to Amazon for ebooks is Smashwords, who pay authors a bit more. We'd appreciate off-Amazon sales, if you want to give them a try.

Ontario's leader is under heavy fire for playing hardball and preventing educational workers from getting large raises. I don't know the details well, but couldn't one argue this is what fighting inflation looks like?
Only if those raises would otherwise come from new currency (i.e. the Canadian central bank prints new money), which I would assume is not the case. I don't think that has any connection to inflation.

Yeah, I thought it was interesting too, I wavered on what they might be looking for. I thought maybe marking all the positive words would be a strike against me, so I only picked like a five or six kinda similar ones, like "industrious" and stuff. I didn't get the job, but I don't know why or what would have been better.

ensure someone picks up the phone when one of the tens of millions of student loan borrowers needs help
This is utter bullshit, I had student loans. Nobody picks up the phone.

There's also the Space Force, but they're just nerds. They only exist so the other branches have someone whose lunch money they can steal. Might as well be Coast Guard.

I use Self-Control, which lets you block websites for a length of time. You can block all websites but allow a whitelist, or block only a few websites. That doesn't prevent all internet connection though, just browser use.

"Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man" by James Weldon Johnson is a great book-length example of that.

Bird fossils do exist.

For Coke and Pepsi, advertising is defensive. If you aren't wooing your fans with ads, you're losing them to upstart companies that are. It's not possible to bank supporters, not for brands and not for political parties.

Lol, that makes more sense than shirking Puerto Ricans, which was the only idea I came up with.

Honestly, Trump should just keep saying "she was the official border czar, and she failed". The Democrats will feel obligated to engage in constant semantic clarifications instead of actually campaigning.

Seems to me the obvious explanation is that they are worried this will look racist. Rejecting a redneck might have been fine, but you can't reject a black person for wearing the wrong clothes without getting sued or boycotted. The only resolution is to not have dress codes.
If Obama could make banks stop providing services to legal gunshops, surely Trump could make them stop providing services to illegal immigrants.
