I belonged to AnswerBag, which bottomed out one day in December of 2014 or 2015. I wish I could have saved dozens or hundreds of my questions from its pages. They were some of my best offerings, truly. Instead, I’ve had to bug all of you with new ones that I came up with since then, and they’re only one/tenth as good as my 2009-2014/5 works. Grrrrrrrr. *DISCLAIMER: The list of websites above, both real and imaginary, is not all-inclusive because I do not know the names of all of them that shut down nor the ways that they shut down.

I find it amazing that there are so many tiny little ways that clues get left behind that first-time or even repeat criminals are never as clever as they think.
What prompted this post is a show I’m watching now. The killer claims that the murder was an accident and that in panic, instead of calling the police, he threw the body into the trunk of his car, drove hours away from the scene and dumped the person on the side of the highway. He took pains to clean things up and went about his life’s business. He thought he was in the clear because weeks or months went by before he was even questioned, so he thought there was no link to the crime. Now in prison, the show recounted the litany of missteps he made that connected him to the assault, pointed to him being at the scene of the crime, those signs left behind in his car, and the evidence that the car had been at the drop site. I’m not accusing you of being of criminal mentality, so I ask this just for the sa... less

He was in his late fifties when I met him, has poor health, and I don’t know how long he has been in the US at that point. His US visa was not employment based nor education based, it was family based. He was not in a position to both take the necessary courses and then get certified to the same socio-economic status he had once enjoyed. He told me that many American citizens had entered his country seeking high-end jobs and their credentials were immediately accepted, often without question or scrutiny, and that while the cost of living and salaries didn’t compare to the US, they lived at an upperclass level there. Do you personally know any immigrants to your country whose lives almost instantly took a drastic negative direction due to those types of circumstances?~ less

I was considering buying it but then common sense prevailed and I didn't. Why?Because I'd be dying of this or that or the other thing. I saw no point in that. I know me too well. So I passed.Can you be trusted to own a book like that and not go to your special crazy place and worry unnecessarily?I know I can't.

Her parents were from the OLD COUNTRY and I expect that view was standard normal typical. Methinks it may still be.The bias against women is legendary.The bias against people of color we see daily.The bias against independent thinkers is obvious. They get poisoned imprisoned slaughtered.When and where are those with that bias going to be BIASED AGAINST? Where is fair? Where is balance? Where is reciprocity?
Are you yours? In this context "brother" refers to blood relative. But on a larger scale of humanity aren't we ALL brothers and sisters? Or is that just bleeding heart liberal bullsh**?

Before I got my shot I always worried that I was going to get the virus or that I had the virus. A few times I had a bad hair day and I thought maybe it was because I had the coronavirus. I know that I won't be fully protected until I get my second shot but it is a comfort knowing that after a year I can finally see a end to the coronavirus worries. Cheers!

Keep doing the same thing expecting a different outcome.The 2024 GOP candidates will believe the 2020 election was fraudulent. What is the IQ of these disaffected folks? I guess you can be fairly intelligent when living in an alternate reality where lies are daily fair and truth never gets in.And so it goes. Stay tuned. Watch. Listen.

Clearly if you don't adapt and go with the flow when the flow goes wherever it goes you are left behind. Pretty soon you're out there on your own all alone. That's not so good.
