I don’t suppose casually sniffing their hair for telltale aromas is tolerated anymore. And even that doesn’t detect STDs or psychological issues.Quote:

That could also work. And would probably be acceptable in most gay bars. The problem with that approach, though, is that it might be misconstrued as showing interest in the guy which would be awkward if the sniff test had in fact rendered them unsuitable for my friend as a potential date.Quote:

Perhaps if she’d been a smoker the kiss wouldn’t have happened.Quote:

Ldahl must surely be absolutely fuming that he refuses to go away quietly to be forgotten the way loser former presidents are supposed to.
Hilarious!Quote:

Kind of like newspapers, that take their readership into account, when charging advertising prices, right after giving away samples/free subscriptions, etc. CNN is not going to be happy with their advertising cuts.
As a long time veteran of a snark site, I know that carping is more fun than spreading positive points. But at least we on the snark site own up to it being pure snark.Quote:

If it was so stressful before, why did you watch it more then? I actually watch the news MORE now that we no longer have a one-trick pony in all the media outlets. I stopped watching CNN sometime in 2019. It makes me angry that so much air time was consumed on one issue. I'd rather watch our local news outlet reporting that there's a fish fry Saturday night, or so-and-so from somewhere caught a prize walleye and gave it to his housebound neighbor. Or that it's going to be sunny tomorrow. So much better than a portal into a partisan slingfest which is today's network news.Quote:

I rarely watch local news; I keep up, sporadically, on-line.
Does it bother you that they were selling you carefully crafted and marketed outrage? They still do but their material is much thinner now. I'll bet it's been hard for some to lose the focus of their daily fix after 5 years or so of constant hits. Cold turkey cleansing is tough.Quote:

Or are you trying to say he was just a misunderstood statesman? One who is still, six months after the fact, trying to whip up insurrection with his transparent lie that an election was stolen from him. Good for Liz Cheney for refusing to go along with it.
I hope he and his misguided sycophants will someday be considered just an ugly footnote to history, an aberration.
I’m not sure one needs to package the fact that 40ish% of Republican voters still don’t think the election was legitimate and that the Republican politicians are going along with that. I may be 4 or 8 years early with my concern but I have no confidence that if republicans control the house and the presidential election results aren’t in their favor that they will do the right thing and accept defeat.
No, I thought he was an ass, one that gave the media a 4 year run of exaggeration and chest pounding. It was almost like satire, minus the wit and playfulness.Quote:

The federal government encroachment on our freedoms started strongly after 911 and subsequent big gubmnt actions regardless of administrations have not dialed that down. Trump, Obama, Bush, Biden—-they all like being our saviour.
And they are all wrong about that.
Catherine, I had to watch because our democracy was threatened and I needed to know what was happening. I never felt that way about any other president.
I think I've been at about the same level for the last 2-3 years with minor fluctuations here and there.
My state's mask mandate is sort of going away May 29th for vaccinated people - transportation, schools, daycare centers and health care settings will still require masks, and businesses can also require them.
Hooray! It is time to celebrate those of us who have survived. In these forums very few if any have lost a member of their immediate family to covid. Few report being hospitalized or having serious problems from covid.
I think of this as a war we waged, and just as we celebrated when other wars were over with ticker tape parades (despite war casualties), we should be happy. It does not mean we aren't sad some have died, but with Warp Speed vaccines it means we have won. Yes, someone could still die - think of Japanese soldiers holed up on remote islands who didn't know the war was over, and could fire on you if you approached them after hostilities ended in WW2 - but we won. We should be so happy!!!
Thank you for all your service on the front lines, Yppej.
You're welcome. Being an essential worker working on site (not remotely in my pajamas) throughout the pandemic has not always been easy for me, but I made it.Quote:

I hear you, but I just couldn't take the relentless onslaught. I have to say, I can't stand Chris Cuomo. Don Lemon, fine. Anderson Cooper Fine. Chris Cuomo is like nails on a blackboard. I'd rather read online newspapers, which I can click off of and which doesn't hammer my brain 24/7.Quote:
