My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow’s Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It’s stunning.
Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.
Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?
I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.
If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.
No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.
Yes I complete my census survey that seems like a valid function of government.
I do not register for a political party as I believe voting is an immoral act. I have no right to tell anyone how to live there life. If I were to vote for a candidate I would be indirectly telling others how they should live. If I were to vote for a ballot measure I would be directly telling others how they should live.
Someone recently challenged me on that stance and I’m revaluating it slightly. They asked if I would vote to restore a freedom that had been taken away. I haven’t fully wrestled with that yet, but I’m starting to think that I might should the situation occur.
It could well be.
I believe in not being surveilled by my government. That is a core belief. So you could say that yes I do believe in some things very deeply.
I think I might do anything that might prevent that from happening to me again.
Can you expect anything else given the current administration had her added to the Quiet Skies list?
What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.
I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.
That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.
I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.
Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.
Very kind of you. Thank you.
I’m well aware, I’m also not convinced about the efficacy of the vaccine.
First COVID Feb 2020. Vaxxed May 2020 Second COVID July 2020
The right told me herd immunity would protect me. They were wrong. The left told me the vax world protect me. They too were wrong.
In December I got COVID for the 4th time. Yes I’m vaxxed. No I’m not boosted.
Prior to this bout I was working out 30 minutes a day. Since this bout I can barely climb a flight if stairs without getting winded.
It really sucks.
You might want to actually go read Article 25 if you believe there would be a Republican controlled shit-show.
Republicans have no say under section 1. President Biden says “I’m out” and Vice President Harris becomes President. Congress has no say, the Senate had no say, nobody has any say but the President and the Vice President.
The President could give a reason, or he could choose not to do so.
The only time Congress is involved is under Section 4.
Section 1 covers everything from “Take this job and shove it” to “I’m tired and want to spend more time with my family”
I repeat Congress has no say. There is no political debate. There is simply “I’m out, you’re in.”
Absolutely correct.
Literally you’re are correct, figuratively, I think I’m in pretty solid ground.
I think she gets a huge bounce if she’s the President thrust into a role she did not ask for or seek. It’s a pretty typical human reaction to cheer for people forced by circumstance into an unexpected role. I think she also gets four months to show that she’s Presidential material.
So that’s the pragmatic part. I also believe that President Biden has shown he’s incapable of governing, and that we have rules regarding that situation. In fact that’s why we have the position of VP.
I don’t think she stands a chance running as a VP. However, if President Biden were to invoke Article 25, and abdicate in favor of his VP. I honestly think she’d be a lock to win.
Just saw them a month ago in Louisville. It was an awesome show and Ann was in great voice.
Does any anyone know the actual accusations? There’s no meat here just the allegation. How was his DD-214 altered? What service did he ascribe to himself? What awards. As the husband of a Soldier, these things are important.
Edit to add: they really need to update their stock photo, the Army hasn’t worn that uniform in years.
Well that’s the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.
