  1. I'm a reader and I see close parallels to the decline of current civilization (see Aztecs) where deforestation, climate change (drought) and overpopulation and top-heavy wealth accumulation contributed.

  2. Bullshit.

    The Dark Ages were during the Ice Age when the Sun was dimmer you insensitive clod, WTF about "Dark," don't you understand?

  3. Yeah.

    Some dipshit was quoting verses from the "Bible" that supported killing LGBTQ people.

    I quoted the lobster and shrimp and "divorced women should be put to death" crap and he said, "All that was replaced by the New Testament.

    Egyptians married and bred with siblings and offspring.

    What we deem unacceptable now was the norm back then.

    The Hebrews, Christians and Muslims worship the God of Abraham.

    Jews worship the God of Abraham, Christians and Muslims, acknowledge the main man, but have prophets (Jesus, Muhammad) as amending filters.

    All of the above are batshit crazy.

  6. ... a cavity search.

    The local Academy sporting goods store is nuts.

    There's no limit on purchases and some people are buying over a thousand dollars worth of collectibles.

    I'm tempted to google news reports of Apps saying one thing and doing another but I watched the Astros win the World Series late last night, so be a dear and do it yourself, OK?

    We don't suffer from brain-drain because the education system, from bottom to top is shit. Americans are not prepared for university by the lower grades.

    "Foreigners" are prepared and take their skills to other countries.

    I have never used a password manager.
