I also basically never get bored. If I am put into a situation that other people would find boring, I tend to get lost in my thoughts or daydream.

If that’s not an option, I often find that I don’t get bored even just doing simple tasks that others would find boring.

The only time I ever generally feel bored is if I am somehow required to do a truly mind numbing task, like wait for something to happen, and I am forcing myself to pay attention.

In an odd way, it sort of reminds me of those old paintings of noble women wearing giant dresses that they probably needed a team of maids to strap them into.

I read the article, and the only abuse here is the state abusing its authority.

I don’t really know much about the mother other than what’s in the story, but she obviously raised a child who feels independent enough to walk a mile to town by himself at age 11. (The title says “10”, but the article says “11”.) I would say that this is a positive thing.

On the other hand, the state is threatening to take away all of her children with this single incident. The state wants to break up this family unless she complies with all of their invasive demands. Breaking up a family seems like tyranny, especially in response to such an innocent incident.

Somebody should make a FOIA request for them.

Honestly, it is such an obvious lie, too. Can companies really just lie in their filings to the FTC?

The article was published January 23, 2013, so that was almost 12 years ago.

There’s actually quite a lot that’s blatantly out in the open right now. Here’s Trump virtually saying outright that he trades government positions for political support.

“At the suggestion of Elon Musk, who has given me his complete and total endorsement … I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms,” Trump said in remarks at the Economic Club of New York. “We need to do it. Can’t go on the way we are now.”

That’s just what the public knows. There’s surely a lot more sinister quid pro quo behind the scenes.

You have forgotten about the currency that Trump usually deals in, something called “quid pro quo.”

This is the real answer.

CBS not fact checking gives the liar a strong advantage.

The moderators not fact checking is fine for things like debate competitions because the judges are experts.

But in a public debate, an opponent even responding to a lie legitimizes the lie. “Of course he’d say that.”

When a candidate lies and the facts are readily available to the moderators, it is imperative for the public good that they fact check.

Trump, a main draw for Truth Social users and many retail investors in the company, said earlier in September that he will not sell his stake. The stock price briefly shot up after his remarks.

Other early investors have made no such promises. They include ARC Global, a sponsor of the blank-check firm that took Trump Media public, and United Atlantic Ventures, an entity controlled by two former contestants on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”

I believe it’s not only that these investors made no promises not to sell, but that several of them specifically expressed that they would be selling as soon as they were legally allowed to do so.

It’s hard to accurately value Truth Social. But I think if Trump were to leave the platform, its value would go to zero, and that makes it very risky. I just saw a price of 12.74. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s still quite overvalued, and so it makes sense for those investors to try to sell at this price.

The problem is that if these people are voting for Jill Stein, then they are not actually voting for who they wish. Jill Stein is not the person who they think she is.

If she were to magically win the election, they’d by-and-large be extraordinarily disappointed in the result.

This is why misinformation and disinformation is so destructive in a democracy. The voters need to be properly informed.

It’s actually a lot more difficult and expensive to send something to the sun than to send it to Mars.

He should use the money he has now to build a rocket and send himself to Mars. That way he won’t have to worry about US government programs anymore.

It’s just such an obvious and outrageous lie. If you believe that, you’ll believe anything.

Also, if it was happening, wouldn’t the parents be the ones complaining? I mean, wouldn’t the parents be famous right now? They’d be on all the talk shows making the news circuit.

If this actually happened, the parents’ names would be famous. Trump would be parading these people around.

Isn’t that the point in the interview, after Jason Miller says that the Harris campaign did something 100x worse, when you tell Miller that since he knows something that much worse, he should give an actual example?

“tiweird”?

Denying science isn’t really something that deserves to be called a “view”.

Biden would have a huge hill to climb here. Netanyahu has a lot of incentive to wait until after our election to take this sort of action. And meanwhile, he can choose between giving Biden a huge win or embarrassing Biden, again.

But I have repeatedly seen Biden succeed when faced with difficult diplomatic problems. So I have to admit that personally, this does get my hopes up a little.

I generally disagree with the entire plan, but if you’re going to do anything like this, there is a large difference between getting caught with a weapon and not. Maybe even a squirt gun. You do not need to have a weapon to get convicted of robbing a bank.

This article is about an out of control DeSantis removing several elected Democrats from their positions because he disagreed with them (because they were Democrats), and replacing them with Republicans.

Apparently, that’s what passes for a democracy in Florida.
