There are couples who have been together over 50 years who long stopped kissing and sexing. They’re still together because that’s not what their relationship is founded on/evolved to be. There are other reasons to be solid, some more healthy than others. I know people in sexless, kissless relationships that are healthy relationships, and those that are in hypersexual relationships that aren’t. I just don’t think there’s a one size fits all.

Sure.

Just because they’re not willingly suffering and dying to feed the profit complex doesn’t mean they’re not feeding the machine. See also: Soylent Green.

Critical support is okay, but if we dismiss our wrongs to the point progress stalls and reverses because of complacency, that’s something that needs addressing, along with failure to be disabused of cherished illusions and delusions.

People can’t help where they’re born, or genetic qualities, even if they’re designer babies, because that’s what their parents chose. Be proud of accomplishments you effected not off the backs of those who legitimately didn’t have a choice.

I don’t think it’s just the money, but that people who have leisure time also have time to think deeply.

I think it’s not any one stand-alone thing, but the sum total. Is kissing important? Probably, but also not much value without deep, meaningful conversation. Conversely, deep, meaningful conversation without physical connection also starts to ring hollow.

Just read an article about the alarming amount of US ballistic missiles used up for naught.

Use the bathroom.

Antioxidants exist.

Let’s see, racist rapist or guy who cares about locals? It’s not a hard choice, unless you’re a racist or rapist.

Keep women’s names off too.

“I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them [Iran] about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil,” Rubio had said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “If they [close the Straits]… it will be economic suicide for them. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries’ economies a lot worse than ours.” Around 20% of the world’s oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, with major oil and gas producers in the Middle East using the waterway to transport energy from the region. Any attempt to disrupt operations in the Strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing. Oil prices jumped briefly when trading began on Monday, with Brent climbing to $81.40 a barrel. However, it then slid back to around $78, up 1.4% on the day.

“We made a huge mess, you clean it up.”

Maybe, I could have sworn it was Bosnia, and I can’t really research it right now. I have a project to prepare for and settle into, my apologies if I’m wrong.

I can’t understand why anyone would believe anything a tangerine tyrant says he will or won’t do, until we see it happen or not.

He violated both UN and NATO charters, iirc. Imo, intervention was necessary, because the Serbs were ethnically cleansing the Croats and Muslims, and Western Europe was dragging feet, but he violated the law and badly mishandled the intervention.

The whole lot, with very few exceptions do.

I’m not sure it’s Israel, but they and the USA are vying for that spot.

If we all do the work on ourselves, the world will look very different in a decade. If we all focus on healing, our earth can heal.

Nixon was. They could have impeached Clinton for Bosnia, but went with lying about adultery.
