@timholt2007 I hope the lawsuit in Indiana that the Jewish community is part of wins and overturns Indiana’s rush to be the first to ban abortion.

Retirement:

I first retired at 62, because I was tired of working, I just had enough. No plan but to just stop. That lasted about 9 months, drove me crazy. Went back to work.

Then again at 68, I quit working. This time I thought about it more. Set up a few routines, and practiced them. This made all the difference. I stay busy, engaged, and helpful to others.

If you are thinking about retirement, make a plan and practice it.

@testamonk: They would if we could ever decide on whether or not we need to do one. 😄

It's as Graham Chapman said in the St. Mark's sketch, "I've always said there's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know if he believes in anything or not."

@TubunMuzuru then just try to drive them stupid using Discordian questions.

@TubunMuzuru The battle cry of "I doubt that!" eventually wears anyone down. 😆

@CleoNotPatra Imagine it.
"We are the Agnostic Inquisition!"
"I doubt that."
"Proceed."

@testamonk Expect? No.
Question? Always.

Nobody expects the Agnostic Inquisition.

"...and the slaves have armed themselves."
"Whoa, whoa, hold on. I don't like that word."
"Mainframe?"
"What? No, why wouldn't I like the word 'mainframe'? The S word!"
"Oh. Sorry, the PRISONERS WITH JOBS have armed themselves."
"Okay, that's better!"

That is all.

Little Eddie Snowden is dutifully relating to TASS how he thinks Biden is going to "flee the country" in the wake of this "scandal".

People take this guy seriously, isn't that AMAZING?

@kukuberra

Okay, look: declaring a problem "simple" to "solve" is about the furthest thing imaginable from an actual solution.

You didn't "spell out every detail" because you HAVE no details, merely an unmoored and wishful imagination.

I mean, it'd be equally "simple" to mandate vaccinations and masks for everyone.

"Just DO it!" isn't a plan.

“the coronavirus has killed more people aged 65 and over in Florida than any other state in the nation” and that “public health experts outside of the state attribute the trend to the DeSantis administration’s counterproductive COVID-19 policies,” which started when “the Governor began weaponizing health care.” https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/12/ron-desantis-just-as-bad-as-donald-trump-2024
