I'm here with an open mind to read people's thoughts and ideas and engage a little bit. Math, science, cooking, and politics. No tolerance for intolerance.
Just caught a big moth that was on the kitchen curtain. Opened the front door, blew on him as I opened my palms. Told him to bring help.

When my son was in kindergarten, I volunteered at the school's field day and was assigned to help organize the tug of war station. When field day was over I challenged him and his class to a tug of war. Me against a dozen or so 5 year olds. I honestly didn't know what to expect. They were all so small compared to me. Let me tell you, it wasn't even close. They trounced me in a matter of seconds. I went back to work and was working with a bunch of really smart engineers and a couple of PhD types and we discussed the idea of a strong man and a dozen 5 year olds and how the result was not at all surprising.

* This post is not about my tug of war with 5 year olds

I'm not gonna lie, I've eaten a lot of Girl Scout cookies this week
Is it pronounced Gulf of Merca or Gulf of Murca?
When I phrased it as what are their duties it provided an AI response. But this sent me down a bunch of searches for roles of us senators and attorneys general, etc to see what it would and wouldn't answer.
If you ask it what any other profession does, school teacher, engineer, etc. No problem.
This is the world we now live in. Google is afraid to provide an answer to a question about the role of a government office. I'm startled enough to share.
Is there really such a thing as a "normal" wash, Mr dishwasher?

"Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and many have no emergency savings—they are one crisis from homelessness. A job loss or an unexpected illness and they are where I am. They are on edge, driving bigger and faster and louder cars—a society speeding along as it disintegrates."

The Invisible Man

We see right through the unshowered soul living in a car by the beach, or by the Walmart, or by the side of the road. But he’s there, and he used to be somebody. He still is.

Man, naked white supremacy, performative cruelty, grotesque shows of greed, self-exoneration, malicious bullying, and deliberate ignorance sure are popular with white people of all ages.
