Does "bugs" have a scientific meaning? I was assuming it was a layman's term that I could abuse.

Not sure what your definition of people is, but Mexicans, Ugandan, and Koreans all eat grasshoppers (and probably others). I know crickets are eaten in Southeast Asia.

Ants seem too tiny to try to eat, but a Google search reveals they are eaten in South America and Southeast Asia.

Shrimp, lobsters, and crabs are kinds of bugs.

The population is being dumbed down by our education system and smart devices/ social media. In addition to that, Republicans' media strategy completely dominated with this election cycle. Democrat campaigns were being run like all of them were a bunch of seniors citizens who couldn't navigate the current media environment.

Republicans controlled the narrative on most all of the issues.

Yea, honestly, as a feminist, I think this is reasonable and healthy. How many long term relationships really result from drunken hookups? It's just an exercise in risky behavior with a complete stranger when your judgement is impaired.

Hearing new voices with perspectives shaped by new places and ideas strengthens us. That is the underlying principle of freedom of speech and freedom of the press in liberal democracies.

You argue for weakness: weakness of mind, weakness of spirit, and weakness of morals.

The media is just playing to the electorate there, I'm afraid.

I watched the YouTube stream of a recent Maryland townhall: dark blue state, all Democrat Representatives and Senators speaking and taking questions, hosted by a Democrat county executive. Someone got up and confronted them about the immigrants abducted by ICE being held in Baltimore Harbor and not allowed to see their lawyers. Multiple people in the live chat started complaining that they weren't discussing real issues like Social Security and Medicare. ... Even though they had discussed it earlier. Americans are fundamentally selfish.

I think he had to enter into agreements about content in order to get financing from the Saudis and Russians.

Putting it on personal mobile devices allows it 1) to be more easily exfiltrared to their foreign affiliates, and 2) allows them to get around FOIA. I'm sure most of their actions are being carried out in a similar manner.

Even if we ever do wrest power from them, we will have to go along without ever knowing everything they have broken.

I thought Teslas (or maybe just the Cyber truck?) wasn't insurable. I thought that was the whole reason Tesla has to offer car insurance, because regular insurers won't cover them.

I just came to shit on the Heritage Foundation, regardless of the veracity of the headline. Can I stay?

They need to be put on a terrorist watch list.
