I don\'t know where the \'sepo\' comes from, but the \'gyny\' refers to
women, so this makes no sense.
The \'miso\' is \'hatred\' so it should be more like \'miso-something\',
where the something is some greek-derived term referring
unequivocally to the USA.

It\'s 177th out of 234 countries in population density -
\"overpopulated\" isn\'t the problem. Grossly over-indulged is the
problem.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-by-d
en sity
And also definitely over cult dopeshit indulged, sports bar
dumbshit indulged and militant idiot indulged.
We don\'t need bear spray and tasers to deal with these idiotds.
We
need to hit them with a curare dart so they can then lay there
conscious but unable to move, even as they get added to the
alligator pit odr get made into bait for the feral hog trap pits.
The way they act, it is exactly what they deserve.
Just because some kid is a shallow airhead who orders bad beer is
no reason to kill them.
Bad beer, no. But a choice to IGNORE due diligence and VET a
proven lifelong criuminal and then believe his petty lies and
pathetic insults and then jump on his ill informed Bad Hayride and
vote for the 100% criminal, 100% buffoon is about as stupid as it
gets. Alligator food or worm food is the destiny they deserve.
Especially if they are still riding the dumbfuck\'s criminal
coattails.
Once you kill off the dumbest 25% of the population, who would be left
for you to feel superior to?
All the illegals who are replacing them. Tens of thousands per month.
One can imagine some logic in reducing our population given high
technology.
But that\'s not what\'s happening. Our lower-level population is being
replaced.
Immigrants aren\'t necessarily dumb. There is selective diffusion to
immigration. The most adventurous and the smartest and the bravest and
the most restless (and the most criminal) tend to emigrate. The upside
of that is the many great foreign-born scientists and engineers and
business types that we get. The US gets so many Nobel prizes partly
because the best scientists tend to emigrate here.
The US gets many Nobel prizes because it\'s big, not because it has
a disproportionate number of smart scientists.
Normalized to the
total population, you\'re not exceptional at all.
Granted, you\'re doing better than the EU.

Our cells have timers that spell our end. They\'re called \"telomeres\",
A use of \"telos\" to mean \"time\".
If you have long telomeres, the cancer will get you. If you have short
telomeres, your DNA wears out and critical organs stop maintaining
themselves.
We\'re sold out by the very thing that makes us who are.

They actually put the guy in jail. We\'ll see what happens after.

I\'d say he finally eliminated food insecurity. We used to get oranges at

bony hand of the Depression offering the orange, from when people went

In a long and active life I\'ve known some petty criminals. Most aren\'t
too bright. As they describe their past and future plans it\'s like
talking to Wile E. Coyote.
I didn\'t know the perp but I had an old pickup that I left unlocked in
the company parking lot. It had a cassette player in a bracket under the
dash. There was an obvious tab which you pushed down and the player slid
out of the bracket. With the player removed it was easy to unscrew the
bracket mounts. They missed the part about sliding out the player and
somehow got the screws out of one side of the bracket before deciding it
was too much work and left the whole thing dangling from the dash.
I seldom drove the truck since I could walk to work, but I went out one
day to go someplace. It was raining so I turned the wipers on only to
realize there weren\'t any. At least that crook was successful in
stealing two wiper arms.

I noticed an interesting pattern in this state. Stockman Bank,
Independence Bank, and Northwest Farm Credit Services are in the top 7.
Even that\'s misleading since the Montana DNRC Trust Land Management is
the leader but hasn\'t gotten any money since 2012. The DRNC in general
took up the slack since 2012 and is 6th.
The banks grabbed all the money since 2019, not a dime before.
\"EWG has identified this recipient as a bank or lending institution that
received the payment because the payment applicant had a loan requiring
any subsidy payments go to the lender first. In 2019, the information
provided to EWG by USDA began to include the entity that received the
payment, rather than the person or entity that applied for it, which was
previously provided. This move to shield subsidy recipients from
disclosure enables USDA to further evade taxpayer accountability.
Six
percent of subsidy dollars went to banks, lending institutions, or the
Farm Service Agency.â
Neat. The other two in the top seven are S Farms and Patriot Farms. Good
luck drilling down into them although Patriot seems to be in the real
estate business too.
Ted Turner has three \'ranches\' here. I wonder how much he collects.
