Now I wonder about elephants given that they have funerals and mourn their dead.

I’ve seen that before and it still makes me laugh out loud

Always use Linux to file paperwork in Russia.

Windows will be the death of you over there.

I’d like to know what “identify as LGBT” means as even with significantly greater social acceptance, those numbers seem high. I wonder if something along the lines of, “I’m an ally so I identify” is included in that.

Note: It’s no skin off my teeth if the true number were ninety nine percent. I’m not attempting to argue against. Just want to know the definition of the term they’re using here.

This just in: The International Court of Justice is antisemitic!!1!111!!

Mayfly enters bar.

Bartender asks for ID.

Mayfly: Do I look like I was born yesterday?

All the alternatives you suggest don’t accomplish what the military does - transforming a person into a non-thinking unconditional follower of orders.

I’ve seen time and time again when veterans come into the civilian working world. The boss tells them to impale their hand to the desk, and they’ll ask which hand, what gauge nail, and what type of hammer. On the other hand, you put them in a situation that requires individual decision making, no matter how small, and they’ll be entirely lost.

These are solely my experiences and probably don’t apply to every man, woman, and child who has ever worn the uniform.

Do these pharmacies by chance serve fried chicken or offer commercial laundry services?

Unrelated fun fact on child tax credits: There is a section of the internal revenue code that states if your child has been kidnapped, you can still claim the dependent.

This means that at some point in time, somebody lost a child, and their priority was maintaining that sweet, sweet credit to the point that they went to court to argue the matter.

Edit: It’s in Internal Revenue Code section 152

(6)Treatment of missing children (A)In general Solely for the purposes referred to in subparagraph (B), a child of the taxpayer— (i)who is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a member of the family of such child or the taxpayer, and (ii)who had, for the taxable year in which the kidnapping occurred, the same principal place of abode as the taxpayer for more than one-half of the portion of such year before the date of the kidnapping, shall be treated as meeting the requirement of subsection ©(1)(B) with respect to a taxpayer for all taxable years ending during the period that the child is kidnapped.

Easy there. Finding reason to defund public schools is Greg Abbot’s wet dream. It’s the first step toward his goal of state vouchers to religious schools.

Also consider that Brownsville is a border town of mostly Hispanic residents. What better sacrificial lamb to demonstrate the evils of public schools?
