Because I really don't like being lumped in with a bunch of far leaning (right or left) people, I am not one of them. I know that Rusty is trolling most of the time, but once upon a time I thought he was a halfway decent dude. I do think he knows I am not Maga, as do a few others. They just choose to continue to troll.

Some of you just cannot get by without insulting others. Sad.

A little more than what's in here: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/08/titan-submersible-implosion-warnings Footage of actual test rides, interviews with Coast Guard/lawsuit, etc. There's footage of them hearing cracking, popping, all kinds of noises that the carbon fiber hull was not suitable. Many of the people who tested it with him said there weren't any red FLAGS, but red FLARES. It was a tragedy waiting to happen, not an "accident." They do talk about how they took it to the Bahama's to test and it started cracking and making all kinds of noise. There's another test ride when things continually failed; computer, power, motors, etc. The one from the Bahama test was so damaged, they had to make a new hull. And that one did something similar on another test drive. One guy points out that once you're in there and the bolts from the outside are sealed, there's no way out until someone on the outside lets you out. That alone would make me say no. The dude running it was a nut job and didn't care for human life. Only money. Incredibly sad for the guys who died, that teenager should have never been onboard, and I think the guy knew that.

Anyone checking out the documentary on this? https://go.discovery.com/show/implosion-the-titanic-sub-disaster-discovery-atve-us

Oh great, he's back.

She was the press secretary; she had to have known.

This doesn't really make that much of a difference in terms of how we are interpreted on the board, which is what I was speaking to. Maybe in Texas your views are seen as more liberal, and mine more conservative. But I am not sure that makes it okay to just lump me in with the obvious MAGAs here.

Yes. This happened about two or three years ago. We'd worked together back in 97 or 98, and started dating. He was my first relationship after my abusive ex. He ended up REALLY leading me on in terms of what he wanted in a relationship, after we'd been pretty close. He got fired from that job in about 99 and then I never saw him again, never heard from him or anything. But, my heart was broken, he'd hurt me incredibly badly. He was one of those guys that really made me see the light about my abusive ex-boyfriend and how I deserved to be treated; only to have him turn around and break my heart. FF to about three years ago, he came back to the company I work for, was checking to see if anyone he worked with in 98 was still around, and there I was. Of course he knew I was married with kids. He reached out via email, asked how I was, etc. Then proceeded to apologize for everything that happened back then, and how truly sorry he was and that I didn't deserve anything that he'd done. That was it. Never went any further never reached out again, etc. If it were a part of a 12 Step program, then more power to him. Obviously, what happened between us was enough to last over 20 years of feelings on his part. He was also married, and had a couple of kids, one a daughter who was in her teens. So, it's also possible that having a daughter of his own, he realized the heart break that he caused. ETA: He wasn't reaching out to try and hook up, or anything like that. It was never an issue. And I told my husband about all of it. Mainly because of the courage it would have taken to do that after all this time. It was something that was weighing on him, that was clear.

No, I actually had an old BF reach out to me and apologize.

No, but I work from home. If I return to office, then I will likely bring my lunch majority of the days. Usually something like a salad, I don't really bring sandwiches either. Microwaveable meals are always good; like the frozen ones but you have to find ones that are generally healthy and don't have a lot of sodium.

I agree. I am just lumped in with all of the Maga folks and it's clear I am not Maga, at least from my perspective.

I appreciate you taking the time to type this all out. It sounds like you and I are more on the same page than you think.

Elon is a drug addict? Maybe this has been discussed, but it's new to me. What drugs does he do?

I guess I'll have to take your word for it.

What are your favorite subs? NON POLITCAL, please I find myself reading - Am I the Azzhole? (AITA, AITAH) there are some good ones on there. And then just random ones about books, psychiatry, TV shows, etc.

I don't really think that's what your first post was about, but okay. And they are all hypocrites, even your side.

Oh yeah, they've made a pretty strong pro-LGBTQ+ stance.

Yes, it's okay. It's NOT okay to throw Molotov cocktails at people, nor stand outside the Capital Jewish Museum and murder people.

Excellent, these are great. I will check out a few of them.

Oh, yeah! The Making A Murderer page is good.

Not a transgender or transexual. A gonadal anomaly that happens; usually it's not discovered until puberty because the OUTSIDE parts are all there and look correct. Whether that means that the clitoris looks like a micropenis, there might not be testes present, but ovaries. OR, the testes are up inside and never descended. There are a few different ways that XXY presents itself. It's also possible to have a micropenis, testes and ovaries, or a combination of that. Many times, it's not discovered until puberty because things never develop; breasts don't grow as much, periods never start, voice never really deepens, etc. And ONLY then do they start to do tests or whatever and determine what the issue is. OR - they DO know at birth and decide, "Do we want to raise this child as a girl or a boy?" and then deal with it later. You guys can Google and read up on this kind of shiiite, you don't have to guess and just pull things out of the air.

How interesting would it be if it were true; Biden died and they installed a clone? I mean, talk about the biggest grift, con, whatever you want to call it that over 70 million people fell for.

If you say so. I can see how this would trickle into their programming, but whatever you say.

Why does this need to be shared on a program that is geared towards pre-schoolers? I mean, I get that they aren't reading Twitter, but this ideology doesn't need to be shared with 3 and 4 year olds who are learning the alphabet and numbers.
