You might consider allergy including those from food. You can change food brands/flavors, analyse ingredient differences, and note responses. I understand vets can also prescribe anti-histamines. Good luck.

Amping up the cold civil war.

Good. As I read the following sentence,

…Fresno County Supervisor Steve Brandau, who developed a library material review committee for his county because he was disturbed by the children’s books included in a Pride Month display at a local library

I found myself wondering if Brandau objected to parents indoctrinating their children into an Abrahamic religion? Those religions are the historical roots of long-term anti-LGBT sentiments, thus mandating the need for strong protection of minority rights.

A well reasoned reply. With the exception of dementia and presuming they’re of sound mind, aren’t they free to choose to have end-of-life care? Or is such care too expensive, like in the U.S.?

Why is dying alone presented as something undesirable?

The agency hopes its report will shed light on the country’s growing issue of vast numbers of its aging population who live, and die, alone.

What AI summarizer are you using?

The article is silent on the topic of religion, yet it is Abrahamic religions (including Christianity) which are historically hostile towards LGBT. I remember a news item I read years ago, the link is long lost, but it was about a Christian who considered it their religious duty to hate and they felt the U.S.'s First Amendment granted them the right to hate. That’s quite the misinterpretation of “love your neighbor as yourself”.

This is freedom. War is peace. Up is down.

If only avoiding Trump was as easy as avoiding porn!

“Churches are not to be touched!” he added.

That would carry so much more weight if churches didn’t touch or otherwise affect people who don’t follow their particular faith.

house I noun

1. a dwelling that serves as living quarters for one or more families (Freq. 157)

By that definition, a condo is a house

Sure, people sharing housing, but 36 million people live alone. How many more would live alone if they could?

There are 258 million adults and 144 million homes in the US. Even if vacant housing is reduced to 0, there’s still not enough housing.

i don’t know why people are so allergic to firefox…

To which I offered a possible answer. Does everyone have misconfigured operating systems?

The Best Web Browsers of 2024 | HighSpeedInternet.com

Mozilla’s Firefox browser isn’t known for speed. It falls into last place in most of our tests for Windows and Mac, and that’s okay. Firefox is more about security features than speed, which is ideal if you’re more concerned about blocking malware than loading pages in a flash.

Yep, I’d probably be wasting my time going down the uninstall-reinstall rabbit hole and would probably not find speed increases.

I love Firefox, used to use it all the time. Now it’s slower on Ubuntu than Brave. I mean slow as in irritating to use, click and wait.

…The sanctity of human life, the notion that it cannot be terminated without the highest justification, is what separates us from barbarism. …

Truer words have not been written, yet we see in the news everyday that crimes are constantly being committed. When we are judged (fit for death) not based on what we do, but rather with whom we associate, we are all in danger.
