PET PEEVES

COME ON PEOPLE!

 WHAT is your pet peeve?

 Are you tired of partisan contributors? Do you have a low tolerance for people on the other side of the political divide?

 Are you mad at climate change deniers? Are you fed up with pushy environmentalists?

 Do you want less Trump on forums like this one? Less politics in general?

 Do you want to vent at a particular group? Do you dislike (I find hate too strong a word, but hey.....) Liberals THAT much, or Conservatives THAT much, or have you had enough of gun owners? 

 Maybe your pet peeve has nothing to do with politics. Maybe you are just fed up with the church, or a particular religion, or maybe you are angry at feminists, or maybe you are just tired of everything American and believe there should be more attention given to other regions of the world?

 Maybe someone at work upset you, or your mother-in-law got under your skin, or maybe someone shot your dog:

Woke up this mornin', my dog was dead
Someone disliked him and shot him through the head
I woke up this mornin' and my cat had died
I'm gonna miss her, sat down and cried

 Came home this evenin', my hog was gone
The people here don't like me, I think I'll soon move on
And now somethin's happened that would make a saint frown
I turned my back and my house burned down

 So what are my pet peeves? How about all those people out there I keep tagging that don't show up and contribute to the growth of this forum?
YEAH YOU, I am talking about YOU!

 Let's get with the program here!
If your pet peeve is about how I run this place, SAY SO, otherwise give me your pet peeve (within reason - no bigotry please)

 OR MAYBE YOUR PET PEEVE IS HOW DISQUS KEEPS GLITCHING LIKE TODAY!!

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
