Oh fun. Utility work has blocked off two of the three ways out of our neighborhood. That seems reasonable. - znufrii Aug 16, 07:27 5
- they are forcing you out through the ambush site -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 07:30 1
  - Exactly! -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 07:35
- Better than blocking three out of two ways? -- nm - ty97 Aug 16, 07:28
- We're getting new water mains in our neighborhood too. Infrastructure Week! -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 07:27 1
  - yeah for infrastructure! yeah for water! -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 07:34

Krugman - Why Republicans Turned Against the Environment - crash davis Aug 16, 06:45 1
- He is probably right about that, but I think it goes back further than that. I think of the starting point as when Reagan took down the solar panels - GregW Aug 16, 07:22
First Lady Jill Biden has COVID -- nm - budice Aug 16, 06:41 3
- Did Joe ever test negative? -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 07:41 2

- ... and go see my movie. -- nm - Ezra Miller Aug 16, 08:10
- “Sorry if I alarmed anyone” is a very non-responsibility taking pr apology. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 16, 07:18
- while it doesn't make up or excuse their behaviour, i think we can all agree Ezra is in desperate need of help, so this isn't a bad development. -- nm* - Andie Aug 16, 07:13
Scotland Makes Period Products Free The country is the first to offer tampons, sanitary pads and other menstrual products free of charge. - crash davis Aug 16, 06:39 28
- my current thinking is that while I don't want to force women to partake of socialism, I would be in favor of repealing all sales taxes on p products -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 06:48 27
  - It should all be socialized. Tampons, pads, incontinence supplies, toothbrushes and paste, condoms. All of it. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 16, 08:13 4
    - In theory I agree. As a practical measure, I think removing the sales tax is what is achievable at the moment -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 08:14 3
      - This is how we get Sunday alcohol sales moved from noon to 10am. False sense of leverage. Incremental progressiveness is exhausting. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 16, 08:17 2
        
        There should always be a difference between what you expect/deserve and what you predict is realistic. That's like, how to make it in this world. -- nm - con_carne Aug 16, 08:23 1
        
        I do not make it very well in this world. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 16, 08:27
  - Are they forcibly putting tampons on women? I would consider those things to be medical necessities. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 07:51 8
    - I think they go in them, not on them. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 16, 08:11
    - forcing people to partake of socialism is denying them the opportunity to buy them, (i.e. not free). I see I made a mistake here -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 07:58 6
      - I have to say I disagree with your choice of words here. Opportunity to buy them? - Krusty Aug 16, 08:05 4
        
        You people are way too literal this morning. Opportunity to buy is a silly thing they would say on shows like Fox & Friends -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 08:18 3
        
        Got it. 👍🏼 -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:40
        
        If they want to menstruate, they should be responsible enough to do it on their own dollar! -- nm - Reagen Aug 16, 08:29 1
        
        they could avoid it by being like that Dugger (sp) woman -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 08:31
      - I would say in a country where medical care is already socialized adding this coverage seems appropriate. I see why it wouldn't work in the US. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 08:04
  - If you don't want to force people to partake of socialism, are you opposed to public schools, public libraries, and public works like roads? -- nm - mara Aug 16, 07:36 12
    - I don't know where it is like where you are at, but people are not forced to partake of libraries here and a goodly number don't. - crash davis Aug 16, 07:45 11
      - Absolutely other essential hygiene products should be free. Your position is that if they can't all be, then none should? -- nm - mara Aug 16, 08:17 2
        
        Perhaps my position is essential hygiene products for men should be the first to be free, because women get paid too dang much - crash davis Aug 16, 08:22 1
        
        The perfect is the enemy of the good, crash. :-) -- nm - mara Aug 16, 08:37
      - the other products are not strictly needed on a monthly basis, absolutely no choice. -- (edited) - Andie Aug 16, 07:49 7
        
        only women of a certain age range need period products once a month, almost all citizens need dental hygiene products daily - crash davis Aug 16, 07:54 6
        
        would you rather sit beside someone who couldn't buy a new 99 cent tooth brush to replace one they have or someone who couldn't afford pads this month? -- nm* - Andie Aug 16, 07:55 5
        
        I rather sit by both of them than the person who couldn't afford incontinence supplies. Those are really expensive. -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 08:05 4
        
        We can start with making women's sanitary products tax free and then move on to other products. It doesn't need to be one or the other. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:07 3
        
        our tax on them ended in 2005. and there are plenty of places that give them out for free, i think a lot of high schools do. -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 08:10
        
        That is what I said -- nm - crash davis Aug 16, 08:10
        
        All they have to do is their duty, which is get pregnant. Then they don't need those things. -- nm - GOP Aug 16, 08:09

- There’s no way, even with the character’s considerable bravado … Guzman is bagging Zeta Jones. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 08:11 1
  - Also, Zeta Jones isn't speaking any French. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 16, 08:16
- I’LL ALLOW IT! But, yes, Raul Julia is my Gomez. -- nm - Mop Aug 16, 07:59
- I'm always pro Guzman but he clashes with the Raul Julia standard I have in mind. -- nm - Max Aug 16, 06:38 5
  - Agreed. He looks so wrong for the part and he's not even close to being the actor Raul Julia was. This is bad casting. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:00 1
    - And I feel like Pugsly should be chubbier. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:06
  - Guzman's hair is odd. Not the style, i get that, the way it sits on his head. It looks completely disconnected from the rest of him. -- nm* - Andie Aug 16, 07:57
  - Julia and Huston were good. -- nm - mud Aug 16, 06:42
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 06:39

- she looks *great* for 58. -- nm - amanda Aug 16, 06:38 1
  - that isn't a super current picture, she let her hair go white in the pandemic. Still looks great of course. -- (link) - Andie Aug 16, 07:16

ST stock talk. The WWE stock - does it have potential now that they cut out McMahon? -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 16, 05:42 4
- It was up 10% post resignation. Pretty sure they’ve priced in the news until they get earnings and some stability - Will Hunting Aug 16, 05:45 3
  - earnings drop today don't they? -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 05:51 1
    - They do but things are still unstable given the restatements, it’ll be harder to glean momentum or stagnation. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 07:00
  - thank you for this info -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 16, 05:47
