Massachusetts had been a Democratic leaning state since 1928, and a Democratic stronghold since 1960, and is still considered a deeply blue state today.

By the way, i have never tried lobster.
I’m certain there’s a reason why he comes and goes so much. None of his past friends have changed their screen name so IF he wants anyone to know if he’s here and who he is, he will so. Allow him the opportunity to make that contact and allow him that anonymity until then. That’s just my opinion though, my guess is that members will do what they want.
Seems that you have a “delayed reaction” about what you notice. When Jamie, member #693639 deleted his profile, you lost your verification status and when I noticed that, I became the third member and your green tick was restored.
That brings me to Jamie. I don't spend a lot of time on site. I seldom notice things like verification or who touches my heart and I didn't notice I was no longer verified. That's when I thought of Jamie and I asked in your thread about him.
Personally, I don't care what you think or don't think. Jamie and I have reconnected and exchanged friendships. I didn't even asked him to verify me again. I like Jamie and always will. He's a good guy and for that, only, he's worth knowing.

Oh, BTW, I would prefer you withdrew your verification. I prefer friends to do so. Thank you.
POOF! and done.

what does the word argue mean
The word argue means to present reasons or evidence to support or oppose an idea, opinion, or point of view, often in a discussion or debate. It can also refer to a verbal disagreement or dispute, typically involving differing perspectives.
For example:
Discussing or debating: "She argued that renewable energy is essential for sustainability."
Disputing or quarreling: "They argued over who should pay the bill."
The tone and intensity can vary, from calm reasoning to heated confrontation, depending on the context.
Yes, I'm being petty and ungrateful. Deal with it.
Never look for me. It was me that look for her.

“ Fifty people awaken in a darkened room, arranged in two concentric circles around a black dome. When they attempt to move from their designated platforms or touch the others, alarms sound off. When someone ignores the warning and leaves formation, a beam from the dome kills them, and their body is quickly removed. As the others panic, a man attempts to calm them, but the device kills him mid-sentence. Thereafter, every two minutes, another person is killed. After several people die, the group realizes that the room's technology allows them to use hand gestures to vote for who dies, while arrows on the floor show each person their own vote but not others'. They attempt to boycott the vote, but someone is randomly selected to die after two minutes.
Following a college student's suggestion, the group buys time to think by deciding in advance to eliminate the elderly for the next selections. The captives discuss where they are, how they got there, who has abducted them, and why. A young man, Eric, remembers attempting to flee Los Angeles, and others concur. Eric says that he was pulled into the air, later waking in a red room with other humans. The old man next in line agrees, saying he saw and heard aliens. The disbelieving group eliminates him instead of listening.
After the college student aggressively targets a 52-year-old cancer survivor over the objections of people who do not consider her elderly, he is eliminated. Several people say they recognize the others: a man identifies the woman next to him as his wife, another man identifies the doctor he was having an affair with, and a tattooed man is eliminated after he admits to a cop's accusation of domestic violence. After several minorities are quickly eliminated, an African-American man claims the process has become racist. Several others dispute this, but when the cop goes on a racist rant, he is selected next.
The captives experiment with voting, find they cannot vote for themselves, and attempt to give one vote to every person in the circle. One man gives a second vote for a pregnant woman, so Eric votes for him; this causes a tie and the man is killed in a run-off vote. After several take their own lives by leaving formation to buy the others time, an atheist antagonizes the theists who praised the volunteers' faith. The atheist is briefly saved, but when he mocks the girl beside him for having her boss pay for her breast enlargement, he is killed. A homophobic lawyer targets a lesbian, and he is killed as a result. The group realizes that one of the final two people left must not vote (and be killed) to render a winner.
The group creates a schism. One bloc (led by Eric, a Marine, a one-armed man) believes that everyone should sacrifice themselves to save a pregnant woman and a little girl, while the other bloc (led by a bearded man and a banker) wants to eliminate them immediately as a threat to their survival, as they believe everyone is equal and no special privileges should be afforded. After eliminating a Spanish translator, a Hispanic immigrant and the little girl tie, resulting in him sacrificing his own life. The husband is forced to vote with Eric's bloc when they threaten to eliminate his wife, but, under interrogation, the couple admit that they concocted the relationship to curry favor, resulting in the "husband's" elimination.
Eric's faction incurs heavy losses after a six-way tie but eliminates the other faction, leaving only Eric, the pregnant woman, the girl, and a silent man who has never voted. Eric theorizes that aliens have used the process to learn about humanity's values. After the silent man is eliminated, Eric and the girl agree to simultaneously sacrifice themselves. As the girl dies by suicide, Eric instead casts a last-second vote to kill the pregnant woman, only to realize that the pregnant woman's unborn child counts as a person. Eric votes to kill the child and then wakes up in Los Angeles where he joins a group of people, composed primarily of children and pregnant women, watching a fleet of alien crafts float over Los Angeles.”

If it's even real. I found another video with that guy in it doing his thing but a variation on it, and it's so outrageous, I'm wondering if the videos are even real occurrences or if it's all fake.

Regarding the two short videos you found, it’s difficult to believe that they’re for real but I wait for the “haha fooled you” moment at the end and it doesn’t happen. I’ve never lived in a neighborhood or community that was governed by an HOA so I really have no idea whether they are run with unreasonable rules. Seriously, why would an HOA need a key to my house because that is unreasonable! And for what reason would an HOA member pay a visit to me at 11:30p unless it was because of a loud party going on in my backyard?
In the event there is/are houses for sale in an HOA community, I have to wonder whether prospective buyers are given a copy of their bylaws to determine IF they want to comply with and live by the existing rules.
By the way, it’s nice to see that there are members that have something other than AMERICAN POLITICS on their mind. Please don’t stay away so long, it’s really good to see you again!
Although some people...

1 thing people don't realize is the age of the egg makes a difference in it's ease of peeling. i get yard fresh eggs, as in right out of the nest sometimes and if you fry them, no big deal. but if you boil them, they are hard as hell to peel. but if the egg has been in the fridge a week or so, it peels easier. why/? i have no idea.

It’s been 4.5 months and I still HATE this damn phone! Yes, “I sucked it up, buttercup” and made that call today. Hopefully when I finished with the 1 hour class I won’t still want to stomp the hell outta this damn device. Already I’m getting the heebie jeebies thinking about this class meaning; will it be conducted by a real person who can answer my specific questions (if I have questions) OR will it be more like a beginner’s training type video?

Ok I got one for ya, I have a box in my closet with newspapers from when Kennedy was shot and first man on the moon etc…
My mother had what we called “the cedar chest” filled with things that were meaningful to her. There were baptismal outfits, my father’s wool blanket, a blanket that he was issued during his time as a Marine and yes, there were entire newspapers kept about moon landings and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And buried a bit deeper was an article written and featured in the Detroit Free Press about her father, my grandfather being brutally shot during a hold up at his SALOON in Detroit. My sister is the caretaker of that cedar chest filled with family memories and historical happenings.
show them the diary's of civil war soldiers so they can read for themselves for example.
no wonder kids can't think anymore, they never learned to troubleshoot or problem solve anything

I kinda wonder whether you watched the short video. Apparently the “Undercover Boss” came through and terminated employment of the worker, WHY?, because he failed to offer assistance to Mr. Undercover Boss. When the heck has anyone been in a Walmart when associates approach the shopper to offer help and assistance?
i am never offered any help in walmart . most of the time it is difficult to find. and i let them know if i encounter the manager that i would spend more money there if the employees would help me as in answer questions.
you go to look at a computer, the person in that department, just stocks shelves and has no idea about any specs or anything. if you can't help yourself,you are just screwed
Is Walmart able to provide services for watches ie battery replacement, install new straps(heck, does Walmart even sell watch straps?) So when we get to Walmart no straps only new watches and ALL of the watches are under lock and key. As I recall, the majority of the watches were priced from $9.95 to $39.95 and yes, there were a few more that were higher priced than $39.95. There’s no sales associate manning the counter so it’s a matter of finding someone. That someone (found in nearby clothing area) comes by but realizes that he doesn’t have the proper key. Anyway…. the only point of this story was to convey that Walmart does NOT have enough staff to provide the level of service often found in major department stores AS WELL AS perhaps Walmart does not attract the level of people that are geared toward providing high level (heck, any level) of customer service satisfaction.

I had a wonderful lunch, yep, I had a coney dog with EVERYTHING! A delicious natural casing weiner on a steamed bun, loaded with hot dog chili, chopped onions followed with the right amount of yellow mustard! Everything was in proper proportion! For dinner tonight, I had a fattoush. Beautiful greens, thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, garnished with bite sized pieces of fried bread of some sort and tossed in olive oil and the juice of fresh lemon! Yep, I was in “HOG HEAVEN” today as far as my meals went, and then I came home and put a scratch in my car that’s about 12” to 16” long because I pulled too close to the mailbox!
99.9% of the time when I park/back into my driveway, my car is facing west and tonight I was facing east and the way Jerry fixed Don’s mailbox into the ground, his mailbox is not “even Steven” with mine, it’s about 2” closer to the road. Bottom line, I DIDN’T PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE MY FRONT END WAS!

Yes, someone could be fined for moving a mailbox without authorization. Tampering with mailboxes or obstructing mail delivery is a federal offense under 18 U.S. Code § 1701, according to Cornell Law School. If a neighbor or anyone else moves your mailbox without permission, they could face legal repercussions, potentially including fines or even imprisonment.
As I mentioned, there was a period of time that the house was for sale and one of the BIG projects getting done was having a steel seawall installed (at the time there was only a wooden seawall). So as you might imagine, there was a great deal of work being done with lots of earth/dirt being moved. Jerry, an odd and entitled kinda guy, moves dirt out of what eventually becomes Don’s property and over to his making his (Jerry’s) property higher than others to avoid any flooding and/or standing water. Jerry is a gem!
I Google’d this about burial in the United States;
“In most U.S. states, burying a body on private property is technically legal, meaning there aren't specific state laws prohibiting it, but local regulations and zoning laws often create significant hurdles. These local rules can dictate burial depth, distance from water sources, and other factors. Additionally, even if state law allows it, you may still need to involve a funeral director and obtain permits for burial and transportation.”

I asked ChatGPT if the series ever described the technology of the Jetsons' aero-cars. It said "The 1980s revival briefly alluded to “ion propulsion” and “gravity-control technology” in toy and book tie-ins, but never in televised episodes."
Ion propulsion exists, but the maximum trust they ever realized was ~5 Newtons (≈ 510 grams) in the lab. They will never use it for flying cars, because if they make it strong enough, it will burn, vaporize or irradiate everyone in the jet-stream, a long way away.
“gravity-control technology” / 'anti-gravity' is probably not possible in physics. Gravity is misunderstood as a force. The latest insights in physics shows that gravity is the 'curving' of space-time, by a mass. Other masses just want to move along the 'curve'. If you are the object, that wants to move along the 'curve', but your movement is obstructed by a floor,
or the Earth itself, then it feels like a force. The only way to have anti-gravity, is to invent 'negative mass' (exotic matter). The laws of the universe probably don't allow it. Not even anti-matter would move in the opposite direction, in gravity. Even if it would be possible,
it would probably take ridiculous amounts of energy. That would be a stupid waste, when propellers, jet-engines, or rockets do a better job for less energy.
Maglev (magnetic levitation) could be a technology that looks like anti-gravity, but it always has to push against something else. You would be flying above some metal thing, magnets or coils. That would look very much like what the Jetsons have, but you wouldn't be flying freely where ever you want. It's basically following a road or rails. That doesn't have much added benefit of losing the wheels, just extra costs. That's why maglev trains never really took off.
Then there is the economic argument: sure, some people will be able to afford a flying car, but with the capitalist system, that's now and probably will be for ever, only available for a small group of rich people. The benefits of labor aren't equally distributed, for everyone to enjoy something as expensive as a flying car. AI might increase the productivity of labor,
or even eliminate most labor, but with the ideas that are currently ruling society, that just means even wealthier elites and fucking lots of starving people.
In The Jetsons (the 1960s and 1980s cartoon), their flying “aero-car” (or “aero vehicle”) is mostly guided by an automatic system/computer, though George Jetson sometimes manually operates it for comedic effect.

how many of these do you do>?
i know for sure that number 1,2, 4, 8 are common place for me. if i became a millionaire tommorow, i would not change alot of my habits. no need to waste money. i never buy new clothes except socks and underware, never buy new vehicles, machines, if i can build ,repair ,or buy second hand.cheaper.
i do still own my first car to.
people that struggle in life money wise that work, may have their standards set a bit to high.
i know a fellow, makes 29 dollars a hour, gets per deem for travel, and still can't make his bills. i scratch my head as i watch him put worn out used tires on his jeep to get to work, poor as i am i can at least buy a safe tire.
but you would not change a lot of your habits, then you wouldn't be fulfilling your
capitalist responsibility of spending and investing in the economy.
That's why I support the socialist model, in which all profit flows back to the public capital. Then we, the people, spend and invest that money wisely in everything that benefits ALL
of us, and eliminate the economic waste of millionaires and billionaires NOT fulfilling
their capitalist responsibility of spending and investing in the economy wisely.
OK, AI has its uses. I don't agree with the people who are afraid it destroys creativity.
I just fear it will make lots of workers obsolete and will destroy truth.
Hulk Hogan was the most famous wrestler ever. I always loved to see him.
It was decades later that I found out that he wasn't a very nice human being.
No reason to hate him or be happy that he died, but not much reason to mourn him either.
Darante’ LaMar exposes the quiet truth that many believers avoid: most people who claim to believe in God don’t actually live by it.

If your life isn't centered around your belief and your devotion to secure a place in heaven, then you really don't believe that your life is just a test for you to get into heaven.
What could be more important, if you really believed this to be true?
We're talking about ETERNITY, aren't we?
Your belief is probably not even strong enough, to invest the time into watching the video.
As an atheist, I watched the whole video, and asked myself if I am still very sure that I don't believe in God. I'm am sure enough to gamble ETERNITY on it... What are you doing,
when you are claiming to believe? What is it, that you do believe, and why?
You don't have to answer me. Aks and answer yourself.
(With 'you' I'm addressing everyone who claims to believe in God)
