Back to South spanaway, the land of deleted and lifted diesel trucks, poverty, giant American flags that no longer mean patriotism and represent something darker, gun rights, a surprisingly high percentage of minorities, bad food but in huge quantities, anti-vaxxers, endless self-storage units, bikini baristas, unreliable people, mobile home parks with bars in the middle of them, diy, wider roads and open space properties.

The Great Myths of World War 2
Myth 1: The Allies (USA & Britain) won the war.
World War 2 in Europe was really a massive industrialized war between Russia and Germany. The US and Britain did not even join the fight until Russia had beaten Germany.

I have never had a doctor recommend lifestyle treatments to me. They don’t make any money on those. I have osteoarthritis in my hip and multiple doctors recommended an immediate hip replacement.

Higher Education
Why are we still doing education the same way it was done in the 1880s? The best technology in the 1880s was books and classrooms led by a professor. Our universities today look identical to that.
