I don't agree, but a lot of millennial and zoomer socialistes see North Korea in general and the Kim family in particular as powerful symbols of resistance against western imperialism.

I have had a fellow millennial explain uncritically to me how the Kim family has been chosen by the North Korean people to safeguard democracy and socialism against fascist american interests and that's why they have been the heads of government for life for three generations.

I used to get postcards in the 80's from Friends of Animals (Cleveland Amory, newspaper features writer) and one was "The Korean Picnic of Death" which was a photo of two young men carrying a dog,they'd most likely just dis-emboweled & was tied on a carrying stick, most likely to be cooked & consumed.

Of course the whole idea was to solicit a donation for their organization.

Funny how up in arms many get over the idea of eating "dog" when many regularly eat all other forms of animals.

Needless to say, that was theme of our BBQ that day

Humans are omnivores..what else can I say.

Still no real evidence that I'm aware of that plants feel no pain when harvested. Just because we say so?

The story is I log in right at noon as announced, only to be in a "virtual queue" with 500+ people before me. I wait for almost an hour, select my tickets very efficiently (10 minutes for 35, including picking seats, I'm prepared), only to be told I took more than 60 minutes so had to go to the back of the queue. I did (no choice), waited 20 minutes more, got poorer seats. That's where I snapped and sent an insulting email about being sent to the back of the queue for having been there for too long. I shouldn't have been insulting, but I was mad

I bought a show ticket yesterday at the box office of a small theater near me. I picked my seat from the chart, gave them my credit card & email address & waited for a printed ticket or receipt.

Nope.

I got neither.

She said we have no paper for our printer.

So I spent $60.00 and leave with nothing but a promise that an email to print the ticket will be sent to my home? I don't carry a cell phone.

Unfulfilling way to procure seats as far as I'm concerned.

Foxboro of all places. The guy was a soccer fan, I didn't know anything about it but was a Broncos fan (they got demolished in the Superbowl when I was there). Guy despised football (maybe from working at the stadium), so we didn't connect on that (I regret to say I got him into Jean-Michel Jarre). I'm a Pats fan since there though, sometimes you don't have a choice

if your cat gets stressed out traveling it probably wouldn't be a good barometer because he/she might be freaked out already by just being in the carrier.

plus if you bring an unvaccinated pet they probably don't want that.
