- Because their authority is the only one that matters. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 12:38 1
  - (and as long as it's a white anglo saxon authority) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 12:41

  - I have cargo shorts on right now. - Beryllium Aug 17, 12:51
  - they are the uniform for boomers, like everyone wears them at music festivals (blues, jazz, you know old farts stuff) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:49 2
    - Gen X, as well. I still wear them on occasion. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 13:48
    - They're incredibly functional even at young people festivals like Coachella 8-P -- nm - JD Aug 17, 13:03
  - I have cargo shorts on now. They are my "house and garden" shorts and don't often go anywhere in them. They are a little torn. - zunk xometimes Aug 17, 12:39

        You can bring it back! There's still time. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 12:59
    - I love them, but I get multiple comments, if I wear them. TSA security called me out, one time, as well. Social distain equivalent to socks+sandals -- nm - Flavorize Aug 17, 12:42 3
      - Dude, that was because of all the knives (and lint) you had in the pockets. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 13:50
      - They're just not in fashion at the moment but I can't believe people would comment on what other people are wearing if it's not offensive. - Krusty Aug 17, 12:58
      - Which go great with cargo shorts. - Beryllium Aug 17, 12:52

So Mayor Pete really still thinks he can be President, huh. -- nm - MDH Aug 17, 11:37 8
- He had just as much a chance as the rest of our pretty effin’ qualified slate of candidates that we dismissed until there was only the inevitable. -- nm - Qale Aug 17, 13:25
- Why not? An idiotic untalented reality show host was... -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 13:04

  - I had no idea she was married. -- nm - ty97 Aug 17, 12:03
  - Pretty sure he can date whoever he wants at this point. - Spawn Aug 17, 12:01

- Are insurance companies paying out life insurance if someone unvaxed dies from COVID? -- nm - Flavorize Aug 17, 11:48 6
  - They generally can't create exclusions to existing policies that weren't there to begin with. -- nm - mara Aug 17, 11:51
  - I assume so. The FDA experimental status probably means they wouldn't be able to mandate it for coverage to apply. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 11:50 4
    - Ah, that's why, so once it gets FDA approval we can see rates for unvaxxed to triple, or get it or get canceled -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:03 3
      - I'm not sure they take any preventative health care into account, do they? -- nm - mara Aug 17, 12:10 2
        
        smoking? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:46 1
        
        That's the closest, but more a lifestyle (like they take some dangerous hobbies into account, too). -- nm - mara Aug 17, 12:53
