If your facts are rigorous enough, faith doesn't matter.

32 hours being considered “full time” would be huge for a lot of workers who work just under 40 hours as a means of being denied benefits by their employers.

was thinking the same thing. a proposal from an Asian American dem congressman from California that would allow Americans to work less? no way in hell that's going anywhere... turtle man and his band of clowns will laugh this thing down in a second. way too progressive for them. hell, may be even too progressive for grandpa Joe.

Oh you're probably right, but since they have no sense of history they're gonna get behind it being un-American like they invented it.

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday they have observed "an increasing but modest level of activity online" by people who are calling for violence in response to baseless claims of 2020 election fraud and related to the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated. "Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized," according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News.

I will say that it is concerning that only 45% of Britons think they can beat a goose in a fight.

Geese are pretty tasty in a fight, though we're not talking swan levels of toughness. I think the poll is indicative of American overconfidence.  

People would rather go up against a chimp than a wolf. Crazy talk.

a goose weighs what, like 30 lbs at most? doesn’t matter how pissed that bird is, most adult humans could rip their heads off in a second if they wanted. 

and yes i’ve actually lived around geese. they’re pissy and can get angry and they’ll nip at you and get loud. they’re just large in presence and attitude…all bark no bite. they ain’t got no venom or teeth or fighting skills. geese are the least IDM animal, maybe a contender for the ambient animal title tho.

I think the Human-Goose Conflict needs more analysis. I'd like to see a breakdown of weight and age, pitting the best fighting Geese against average humans. 

Take the below, the goose clearly had the psychological advantage, a likely win and fatality if this had gone on a moment longer.

yeah but most adult humans are overgrown babies who couldn't kill a fucking sparrow if it were trying to peck their eyes out. if the geese wanted to, they could seriously fuck some humans up. and yes, geese suck, shit green ooze everywhere, and are giant assholes.
