Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one. Oh, well. life goes on. Kymmie -

While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food. Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us. -

To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem. I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface. There's plenty. "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control. As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around. Asphalt is not a great material, really. It can also be recycled somewhat and used again. Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads. But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved. Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud. Same in many "developing" nations. Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it. Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation. It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California. I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control. Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same. Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form. -

The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events. -

Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P -

I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to. They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts. They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that. I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors. I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that. I really haven't watched TV since the 80's. I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets. From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself. After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering. I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries. The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it? There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up. If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs? We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world. We took material from those environments. What do we do now? How long can it last? -

I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out. Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. -

I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves. And what about threats of violence? Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom? Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence? I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you." Or spreading lies? (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth. Censoring books in schools? That was fine until the bible was included. (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place. You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited? Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn? -

I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin. -

That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o -

That sounds like something I would do, lol, thanks <3 A lot of my classes have a lot of smaller, busy-work types of assignments, so it really added up O~O -

If it makes you feel better, I had a 41 2 weeks before I graduated highschool, and ended up getting honours because my teacher was awesome and let me turn in everything I was missing in one night. I believe in you! -

For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them. I have noticed this on both sides. Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country. So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person. For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity. The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order. Strange. I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left. I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out. And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been. Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something. There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along. Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way.
