Getting to the root of the matter right here...
Sadly the church in general is far too ineffective for turning the ship around. Repentance on a national scale is unlikely but with God all things are possible.

While your experience is great, for you, it is merely one man's point of view. Maybe you should make a datasheet about how to prosper and thread the needle as you have alluded to having done in present day America. If others can apply your system that will validate it and prove you are neither an exception or anomaly.
As to police, more force will allow more abuse. Obviously most of them are "just doing their job" but that is no excuse... Just take a look at how many hours are necessary to become a journeyman in a blue collar trade vs becoming a police officer.
Singapore is an authoritarian nightmare. You cannot even buy chewing gum there and they passed a law in recent years that next time there is a pandemic (i.e. a re-run of the COVID scam) anybody who refuses to get vaccinated can go to jail. Sure they have a safe society but at what cost.
Curve Model Faces 'Awkward' Comment About Her Body During Flight. Why She Wasn't 'Shocked' by It (Exclusive)
After posting a TikTok about her encounter with an older woman who commented on her figure, Kate Kope opens up to PEOPLE about her experience as a size 8/10 model
Perhaps another sign that the wokeness trend is seeing at least some pushback from companies in the modelling industry. This woman is rightly classified as a "curve" model (in the way that a normal man would think of the term "curvy" woman) as opposed to the size 16 landwhales who were called curve models 5 years ago.
Man, Pearl looks haggard and old, at 28! I followed her a bit several years ago when she was fresh-eyed and earnest. She's already got several hundred yards covered towards the thousand yard stare, I guess dating ghetto brothers gets you there fast.
Her show is absolutely awful, unwatchable. And Manchelle Obama,, wow, what a piece of work, and they wanted to run THAT for president???
I have always wondered when you put a mattress protector then a mattress cover over the top of it it’s very hard to find a mattress cover that doesn't eventually slip off and have to be re-adjusted. I have tried different brands, etc. Is it just another symptom of design standards dropping as we see with most product categories these days? Any solutions?

I think mattress covers are made with extra elastic and side flares (?) to fit a range of different thicknesses of mattress. Basically, a king-size cover will fit a king-size mattress - more or less.
I have a queen size mattress and whatever brand I buy (in a queen size mattress cover) they seem to have this slippage problem. And I had the same problem with previous mattresses also so I don’t think it’s because the mattress is unusually thick. Most mattress covers barely cover the sides of the mattress underneath and often you are only getting one to two inches of coverage on the undersides which means they eventually slip off after some number of days as most people naturally move when they sleep. The manufacturers just seem to size the mattress covers badly in most cases.
I am the only one having this problem?
Consumer products all seem to be going to shit these days. Most shoes don’t last more than a year before the soles become uneven due to wearing and thus the shoes need to be replaced (most modern shoes are not worth resoling), my parents German car basically had to be replaced after 5 years.
And also in general leaving aside the durability issue the amount of products I’ve seen designed with really dumb designs where you think what kind of idiot designed this product?
Happens all the time on ski lifts too..
Posting this here because I didn't want to sidetracked the 'memes and gifs...' too far:
Further to the above, for @El Dorado :
Here's the entry for that film on impdb:
For some BUFF reading, you might be interested in this book, a guy who was a navigator on B52s:
Interesting anecdote in the book: when their crew was staging at Guam en route for bombing missions in support of Desert Storm, he was looking at Vietnam-era pictures of B52s that had been stationed there. He thought something looked familiar and realized the plane in the picture was the same tail # as the one he was on, all those years later.

Based on his comment underneath the video the dude is getting help for his mental condition and stopped being batman (but he still has other issues) and will hopefully recover but his fiancee is a saint for everything she put up with and not leaving and getting him help. Most women would have cut and run long ago. The woman worked two jobs while the guy was bumming around pretending to be Batman. Just an example that even in America occasionally good women can be found.
