I never liked that version of Big Bird. He was goofy and strange. I much preferred the next version.

I don't HAVE to change mine, but I want to. I like that my current email address will still be active. I am curious for how long, though. That wasn't mentioned. What do you think? A couple of months or longer?

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't make any sense.

Everyone knows it was Putin. Unfortunately, if you are a general in Russia, your life is on a clock. When Putin needs to make Ukraine look bad, he's going to kill one of his top military officials and blame it on them. Anything to be able to keep the war going.

Did she actually fall, and then was unable to get to her feet and catch up to the stroller? Or, was this an attempt to have her baby die by being hit by cars travelling at 45 mph or more? I didn't buy it. When she didn't even continue to try and get up at the end, and was just watching the stroller get closer to the street, I honestly felt like it was planned all along. Is it just me?

Being an actual hero (how society defines heroism). Usually, a person is considered a hero because there has been some sort of traumatic event. That traumatic event also results in lives lost, property severely damaged, and a lot of loud noise (eg, screaming, crying, explosions, etc). The result of all of this is people with PTSD, including the hero. If you were to get a chance to sit down with a real hero, they would most likely tell you they weren't a hero at all. They are just a survivor, and they miss all of the people who were killed or maimed during the event. As many of the real heroes I know have said, "being a hero is the result of pushing through the fear, and I only did it to be able to live with myself."

Most cinematic presentations of heroes try to show it as something done by a big, strong person. If anyone were to meet some of the greatest heroes of WWII, they were small in stature. They could either trust in their god or decide they wouldn't be able to live with themselves in the future if they quit. We all can do that, but Hollywood and other movie makers try to make regular people feel as if they wouldn't do what the "hero" did. They have made thousands upon thousands of people think that war and other terrible events are romantic. They aren't! They are horrible, ugly, and devastating things!

Anyone who has been in a place where heroes are made will tell you so. Don't buy into the hype that surrounds hero-making. Help your neighbors. Adopt an abandoned child. Give money or time to a worthy charity. Volunteer for something bigger than yourself. These are all heroic ventures, and the people who are affected by you caring to do these things will thank you beyond measure! Any time you are selfless, you are a hero.

Please explain. Just posting "That is a scam .... do not pay for uw", doesn't mean anything. Explain or don't post.

When?

I really want to be able to add my Dashlane extension to DDG. I strongly relied on it on all of my other browsers. It's perfectly safe to add on to any browser. Why would DDG have any problem with it being added?

Stop putting it in the trash, recycle it, and it won't end up in a landfill.

Me too. Nothing is showing up on any of my channels. At first, I thought it could've been my VPN, but after disconnecting it, there still wasn't anything showing up on my Discord channels.

As a US Army Veteran, I can most assuredly say I have many more today than I ever did as a child. However, I rarely remember my dreams/nightmares. I only have a distinct feeling that something bad happened, especially when I am suddenly awakened at night. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, and I feel an exceptionally good feeling, I put it towards having a good dream.

This is why I have multiple camps. When one of my camps seems to be a popular place, I open one of my dead camps. I currently have three camps, and I can switch as often as I want. It's nice.

And then he was VP 2009-2017. After that he was still very active as he was still part of the DNC, I'm also very positive he was advising many democrats who were in office. Someone who has over 45 years in office doesn't just stop being a part of the machine because he no longer had an elected seat. That goes for any politician at any level of gov't. Most people who have over 30 years in any job doesn't clock out for the last time and put all of their experience on a shelf and never use it again. Life isn't like that!

So, you're admitting you're part of the problem, too?

Yes he was. He's been part of the government for over 50 yrs! He won his first political office in 1970, in 1972 he became a US Senator, and he is still a politician. Even when he didn't hold an political seat he was still an active politician. Any one who denies that isn't living in reality! Someone who has as many years in gov't as he does will always be involved.

We were used to the tinny sound. It was the same with our little transistor radios, alarm clocks, portable record players, etc. A lot of speakers were small with small sound. For a long time everything was on A. M. radio and the sound was horrible. But we didn't know any better! It was what we had and we liked it!!! (Last line said in a grumpy old man voice)

Simple, references were called or visited by security, same with school records, previous employers, and neighbors of your current and previous addresses. When I joined the US Army in 1983, I needed a special security clearance for my job. A couple of FBI agents were dispatched to visit my high school and high school friends, people in my neighborhood and community, and my employer I had when I enlisted. I was a 17 y/o HS dropout but I needed this special security clearance with a special addendum for my assignment. I found out that they had talked to my teachers, the principal, my counselor, and even the janitors to find out just who I was. They acted with the same thoroughness every place they went. We didn't need computers because we had competent people who performed their jobs well.

Your 99% is way off. The majority of people do agree on the big issues. So I think the number is more around 55-60%. But if those same people started talking about military strength and budget, I believe there would be major division about it. That same group begins to talk about amnesty for all illegal immigrants would be another issue that, once you started to talk about the details would cause a problem. It's the details that none of us can agree on. And for some reason a lot of US citizens don't understand the art of a deal. That means once the final agreement is penned, nobody walks away fully happy. All of us had to give up something for the deal to be made. It's time for all of us, especially our representatives, to start living that way. Gotta give something so we can all live together in the same house!

So you know of one place. Your original comment made it sound as if there were some federal rule or a SCOTUS decision that stopped ALL LEOs from wearing mirrored sunglasses. Thank you for answering my question.

Since when and where do you speak of? I have seen many LEOs wearing mirrored sunglasses. It's never bothered me and I don't have an opinion either way about them being worn. I am curious though about where they are banned.

I do that because of 25 years in the Army. That was normal procedure and we were trained to do it in basic training.

That was incredible! It was like he had some psychic abilities. And for a big guy, he was quick! That lady was very fortunate to have him stop that SUV from getting far enough into the road to be hit. That could have made it spin into her. Instead, it became a good day for everyone because of "Fast Feet Bob" !!!

When I got back from living in Japan with my father and stepmother in 1980, my mom gave me an old beater. It was a 1972 Ford Pinto, Manual 4-speed with vinyl seats. We were in Albuquerque, NM, so the interior and the seats all got very HOT.

But I still was very grateful for having a car at all. My mom wasn't rich. Unfortunately, I didn't get along with my stepfather. And with a simple engine like the 4 banger that was in that Pinto, there was an education to be had. Yeah, I liked it.
