Yeah that extra circuitry costs 400mAh vs my rechargeables with a base, plus it makes them more stealable.

My hopes were very low a few months ago, but right now, the tides are turning and I think his time may have come. If the entire party isn’t with him in lockstep, his efforts to remain as king will not succeed.

I became a dad at 43, not what I expected, and it is softening me in ways I always hoped for, and never thought I’d see. My family’s rage problem has to stop with me, he can’t see it.

My boss actually makes people open their laptop and look up the email they ignored, so they can follow the original instructions. It’s painful to watch, is terrible customer service, but he definitely gets the desired result, which is to be left alone.

Well yeah take enough shrooms and everything is suddenly exposed as the artificial construct that it is. But we don’t have time to wake up and reinvent language every morning ;)

We are in for it now. Public heath has always ben a sisyphean task. Interrupt it and you lose ground immediately and constantly until you go backstop the fall. Which is to say, we’re in for it.

'Twas many years ago and the ensuing drama from being caught and him being left behind while the rest of his immediate family went back to Michigan, well, it’s not a particularly jerkable memory.

I mean IDK if you’re both guys and you’re second cousins I heard it doesn’t even count and he agrees

She’s swinging for the midwestern mom vote and it’s going to work, she can build a fanbase there.

Growing up poor in the 80s/90s Nike was a hated symbol, there was no chance I’d get anything beyond walmart brands, if new was even an option. So I learned to hate these symbols, but Nike chief among them. Today it’s funny but I can’t bring myself to buy it even tho it’s a much cheaper brand.

It became a meme a few years ago, people would post problems like this and argue about whose was right, as if there were no objective truth. It hurt to watch.

This also applies to houses, boats, and inevitably surrogates now that they’re using them like pack mules.

When you have a solution in search of a problem, and lots of money to push that solution. They assume their customers will invent the use cases and workflows that might make it valuable,

Leave it on long enough to fully kill FB, Insta, X, etc. THEN shut it down. We’re like 1/2 way there already

Ranked choice voting is actually one of the fundamental reforms that could lead to Citizens United, and campaign finance reform even, anti-offshoring laws, all sorts of things that are currently off limits to think about even. Once a third party starts being viable in larger and larger areas, it’ll change the landscape completely.

Dems are the only party that’s supported it, they’ve been working on getting it statewide in places that can, now they’re bringing it to a national scope. And the only thing they have to gain is possibly being usurped by a third party for real. Sooo this is one of the perfect examples of the Democrats not being evil at all, actually being progressive at their core, albeit limp-wristed for the past few decades. They are not your enemy, they should be part of your tent if you want to grow it.

Doing my morning walk through the churches in my neighborhood and there’s two old churches side by side, both rocking out, one sort of blues riffs, one a little more traditional rock. And as I often do, I stood for a moment taking it in - this is the Southern culture I think is fascinating and rich and… then I realize the blues one is now just doing a call and refrain “I don’t need no - evidence” over and over, and my dog’s like “let’s get the fuck out of here” and so we did.

But it’s cute for a second if you don’t try to focus in on it. This is how religion should be taken in, and then hustle your ass along.

Strong chance my final words will be “Oh shoot, shoooot.” Even tho I swear like a sailor, if it’s really bad, I go for clean language.

It really shows how delusional and untethered the national casino that is Wall Street is. They will keep partying until the boat is fully underwater.
