Whoosh

We can blame whoever we want, but deaths are deaths. We can even go further and say that the deaths to user ratio makes the disparity even greater.
Hell, we could go completely nuts and say the stamp tax on tea and other goods leading up to the American Revolutionary War led to the creation of the United States, and therefore, all deaths resulting from the actions of the US could be blamed on caffeine.

LOL, definitely not, but I remember the 90s as well when every stoner wouldn’t shut up about weed bringing anti carcinogenic. Weed kills people beside the user. It’s still hugely safe, but bad decision-making under the influence of weed has probably killed more people than caffeine. You could argue the caffeine didn’t kill them. Their other health condition did. The same way we could argue weed didn’t kill anyone, but the drug trade did.

Interesting. The interest from my mortgage payments and property taxes take me above the standard deduction alone, then I have work expenses as well.

IRS doesn’t know my deductions til I tell them. I’m certainly not rich either. I just get to write off alot.
- Comment on 2014: Barack Obama Tan Suit Scandal (biggest scandal of two presidential terms) 11 months ago:
Certainly, presidents have some responsibility for things that the military does during their tenure, but people talk about these events, like he was told they were striking a DWB facility. I suspect he was told told they had located their target, and he approved without knowledge of the location and potential blowback.
His Whitehouse always struck me as more savvy than that, which led me to believe some of these were the result of omissions during communication from overseas.
That said, I totally believe they would bomb a wedding if they felt a high enough priority target was there (even if they were wrong). I felt the military was given ALOT of freedom to make decisions on their own while Obama was in office.
- Comment on ‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Seeing Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M+ 11 months ago:
I hadn’t really thought about it. I really enjoyed the MCU through Endgame. I don’t see movies to be challenged or need it to touch my soul to enjoy them. I feel like I was much more clued into what was coming next with every movie I saw and that they built on each other. I didn’t really understand why I lost so much interest in keeping up to date.
Your post makes so much sense, though. They really did break up story flow. It feels like someone let got of the reigns and let directors and writers have too much freedom and lost some of the magic in doing so.
- Comment on How reliable are EV chargers? 11 months ago:
Tesla almost always works. Electrify America is like 90% operable every time I’ve used one. Charge Point is a literal 50/50 (last station I visited 2/3 were broken) I’ve never even seen a Blink charger.
The charger at my house has been working great for 7 years, and it’s installed outside and gets weather, but it’s California weather, so it never long-term extremes. It also where I charge 99% of the time.

Regular pony tail. Both sides are usually buzzed.
- Comment on Every time 11 months ago:
It’s a haircut that retains traditional views of feminity but incorporates the functionality of a military buzz cut. It makes a lot of sense for anyone who might have to wear a helmet but doesn’t want to chop it all because of their own aesthetics of just the time investment of having grown long hair. The maid of honor at my wedding had this haircut, and a few women I work with rock it as well.
