hmmm, can't speak to the UK but in the US, millionaires aren't the super rich, it's 2026, not 1926, millionaires are retirees, at least if you're talking 1-2 million > here it's a vanishingly small number of people who have more than that, & that's supposed to fund 30 years without working

so i'd say it's unsurprising that most millionaires are aware of their need for medical workers as they age

@Photo55 @urlyman

your daughter's use case appears to be white-washing the destruction of privacy & the ability of others, including victims of domestic violence, to go out in public without being spied upon

let's be real, she does not need to be "steady recording from atop a horse" unless she's a f'n police officer & from her uniform & position we members of the public already know she's a f'n instrument of the state

sheesh people, this ain't rocket science, it's human decency

@Jgbird

this one is the exceptionally angry one!!!

@Teri_Kanefield

IMHO Japan had a better chance of winning after Pearl Harbor than the US does of winning after this equally shabbily thought out sneak attack

illegal sneak attacks based on ego & over-confidence are not a recipe for success

@augieray

awesome news

@Trilobyter

the pollen head is strong with this birb!

@benroyce

if our vote didn't matter, why are they taking it away?

i admit i'm terrified

i live in Louisiana, it's clear the minority that hates is in total control & does not want all people to ever, ever, ever have equal access to representation

"believe or don't believe, the fish i caught was THIS big" -- golden-tailed sapphire who would never dream of exaggerating, no, not even a little

@ahimsa_pdx

they're pretty tough to find & this is the only one i've ever seen

i made a special request to the guide to find one, actually, he found two but this one was closer to the village -- they nap during the day so once he found it, he could bring us over to see it without being too worried bird would take off...

but to even get to the village, we had to go several hours travel by boat and canoe on the River Napo (a tributary of the Amazon)

he is all hummers all the time-- all the hummer you need to make your life complete!

@Daojoan

maybe but i'm pretty old (retirement age) & that time wasn't in my lifetime

are we sure the whole emotional regulation thing isn't just a 19th century myth?

editing to say, i'm not trying to be provocative but rather, i was an abused child in the 1960s (when it was not just legal but openly accepted unless the kid was, like, killed) so i'm finding it hard to believe that adults practiced much emotional regulation in the past

@w_b @Yehuda

yep

orwell never had to use his imagination, just his eyesight

@Yehuda

"conservatives" hate wildlife & even one living bison is a reminder that genocide was open US policy

another example from my state, Louisiana -- the Ivory-billed Woodpecker was deliberately made extinct, they actually hired an artist to document its last days on Earth before the hateful land owner destroyed its forests EVEN THOUGH THE PUBLIC raised a fortune to buy the land

The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker Is Officially Extinct

Seventy years stuck in the denial stage of grief

@badastro

they'll justify the nuclear war they're starting by claiming that nuclear winter is required to bring the Earth back into sync
