Not only is there zero health for the homeless, but now cities are criminalizing the feeding of the homeless.My taxes paid for parks. I should be able to feed whoever I want with my own food. AND go there 24 hours a day, but that’s another story.

They actually came up with a predictive mathematical model for determining how long it takes before irregular verbs become regular. A verb used 100 times less frequently will evolve 10 times as fast. Impressive to quantify such a thing.

How the hell did American Dad cover a story that was actually happening? A meter maid getting rich off the coins in parking meters. I JUST WATCHED IT LAST NIGHT, and saw this article within 16 hours!

Those laws about not being able to feed the homeless people are pretty messed. If someone wants to give food away, let them. They’re not harming anyone. It’s anyones right to give away what they want, especially when it helps another person.
That harvard study is quite interesting. I just hope it was privately funded, and not by some government grant.
As far as the end of the universe is concerned, I try not to worry myself too much about how it’s going to end. It’s all just speculation. I’ll find out(or not) when I die. Plus mankind will have found some stupid way to extinct(is that even a word?) itself way before the end of the universe.
