A few of the horses I cared for at the barn I used to work at refused eat those electrolytes in their grain, or drink it if I mixed it into their water.

If horses don't really like it I can't imagine humans fairing much better.

It's not a competition, but priorities. The things that kill innocent people should be higher on the list when writing new policies. Clearly the policies in place are not enough to prevent drunk driving and people are still getting killed from it. It's still a problem and has been a problem and we should focus on that more than we currently are.

If people are still driving drunk with it being illegal and we can't even get that under control with current laws, how can we expect the new laws regarding vaping to be productive?

And tbh this is quite personal. I've lost a friend to drunk driving about every 2 years since I turned 18. My friend's alcoholic father murdered him when I was younger. I've seen nothing good come from that shit and it destroys lives. I don't see vaping as even remotely comparable to the destruction alcohol can do.

I'd rather be near someone vaping than a drunk person.

The vaping I can walk away from, but a drunk driver could kill me.

I find public drunkenness to be more deadly and problematic than vaping, but that just my opinion regarding public health issues.

I wonder if they figured out how to remove the garbage without hurting the blue sea dragons that are living in there.

Obviously the garbage has to get out of the ocean, I just remember that the last I heard about it a few years ago they had to stop because they were accidentally hurting and killing the very wildlife they're trying to protect. It's a shitty catch 22 we've created, but I hope they succeed. That garbage has been there too fucking long.

Well I guess they get dead women now.

There needs to be a group of lawyers out there with spines of steel to take on a class action lawsuit(or several) to sue the fuck out of each of the states and politicians who pushed these anti-woman laws through and they resulted in women dying or being injured by healthcare being withheld... as mandated by the laws.

These soulless pieces of shit only understand money, getting sued into the ground should get their fucking attention. I'd prefer jailtime, but Donald Dump shows republican shitheads don't go to jail, so I say class action lawsuit time.

That's a fair assessment, and I can definitely agree with that

As someone from the US i always saw it as people can't afford to take time off to donate, so compensating them for their time makes it so they can afford to donate.

A few states make it illegal to be monetarily compensated for your blood or plasma, but others it's completely fine.

You're right about this. When everything with Isreal first happened I thought they were justified since they were attacked first.
Now... now not so much. As much as I hate that people are killing themselves, I probably wouldn't have looked closer at what's going on and changed my mind.

Ideally a temp would fill the position while the parent is on leave. At least that's how my company handled it recently. We still couldn't wait for our coworker to come back because she was really good at her job, but the work got done regardless of any hiccups due to the temp learning her position.

I don't have kids by choice, so this has zero effect on me, but parental leave is kinda important and companies that shove the workload onto everyone else is what causes this resentment.

In my area the types of guys into outdoorsy stuff also tend to trash their campsites.

I can't count the number of times I go hiking and find beer/monster/soda cans, empty beefjerky bags, lead fishing weights that were cut off and left next to the rest of the garbage, piles of empty shotgun shells(not just one or two that were missed or fell out of a pocket), cigarette butt's and boxes, ect.

It's always really shitty to find a part of the forest like that. Especially if I can see where there was tree stand above the pile of garbage. I get that deer are basically overpopulated due to milder winters, but take care of the forest my dudes.

This only works for shorter flights, but you can eat an edible before you go into the airport. I reccomend one that you've tried before the flight so you know how high you'll get and how long it'll last.
