I’ve got a crazy idea that probably won’t work, but who knows:
Let’s start making tons of memes of Bibi making Trump his little bitch. Make fake quotes that make the rounds of Bibi calling Trump a useful idiot, or easier to control than Biden. Try to get Trump to see doing whatever Israel wants as being weak, and make him get into a huge row with Netanyahu.
Israel isn’t Russia, and I don’t think Bibi has Trump by the short hairs like Putin does.
You don’t need landlords for non-ownership and temporary housing solutions to exist.
For example…
I disagree. If we sent 100 personnel with an air defense group to Ukraine, shit would get pretty real pretty fast. Sending people is a whole different commitment to sending weapons.
I had an old instructor who liked to say “when it comes to breakfast, what’s the difference between the chicken and the pig? The chicken made a contribution, the pig made a commitment.”
Sending our own troops stops being a contribution and starts being a commitment.
Should have had his wife “design and print” them, get a patent, and sell them to the air force instead.
Yeah, high school is some of the worst times in my life. If my kid complained, I wouldn’t say “it only gets worse,” I’d say “this is a rough time, but remember, none of the stuff that is hard is real. It’s all just training. The school stuff is training you for deadlines and heavy workloads. The social stuff is training for personal and professional relationships. Try to think of this as the tutorial for life, where you must do X action to proceed, and maybe it’s hard because it’s new, and it’s frustrating because you don’t realize it’s a tutorial and think “this is the game.” It’s not. It becomes an open-world game after this. It’s harder, but it can be WAY better, and you have a lot more control.”
George Bernard Shaw, nice. That used to be my favorite quote.
Not always. When I was a restaurant manager, I had a couple employees where I would patiently explain why we need to do something a particular way (usually for health and safety reasons), and they would deliberately do it a different way because they just “want to do it that way.”
No, Chelsea, dumping a half-full soda somebody handed you into the ice you use for putting in customer drinks is not okay, get the fuck out of drive through, grab a bucket, and start emptying that ice out and cleaning/sanitizing the space. I swear to god if you complain about it, when you just put one employee out of action for the next half (let’s be honest, full) hour as well as making drive-thru have to go up front to make drinks in the middle of the dinner rush I will fire you on the spot.
Some people have a “problem with authority” because they are belligerent idiots.
Her character gave the impression of being in her thirties with a doctorate and tons of experience, regardless how old the actress was. In the books she was apparently in her “late twenties” so that reasonably tracks.
you can take a day or some time off to support your local business
Now who’s being entitled?
I just started playing Magic the Gathering, and my Command Deck I just bought came before my box, sleeves, or dice.
I thought there was going to be a game last night at my local bar, and I was about to recreate this comic (except with the cardboard box it came in instead of a sock).
I think their point was the Dems might be better, but they’re still unacceptable so we shouldn’t celebrate the minor successes from them because it makes us complacent about the system.
I disagree, because incremental change is still positive change, and I remember what happened to LGBT people when I was young, and as bad as the Right is today, those incremental changes have made life significantly better. Not even the Dems supported gay people 30 years ago. Now it would be political suicide for a Dem not to wholeheartedly support things like protecting gay marriage. Just as an example.
So on its face, this doesn’t look like something deliberately targeting ob/gyn services, and seems more like a poorly thought out but necessary band-aid to keep open rural hospitals that would otherwise close. The lack of Medicaid funding certainly doesn’t help, but this seems to be a complicated issue that doesn’t have a single, obvious, easy-button answer.
Oh wait, yes there is, one that most other developed countries have had for a long time: Medicare For All.
I bet Simone Giertz’s Truckla had working windshield wipers…
Front seat? Sure. Back seat? Nah. You have to remove paneling, pull a tab up, then pull a cord forward. That is a three step, non-obvious and non-intuitive way to open a door.
Are we “seppos” because we are septic tanks, or are we supposedly inclined to have septic tanks?
Because I’ll lightly disagree with one of those, only because most people I’ve met and places I’ve lived have used public sewage systems.
Edit: nevermind, read further on the definition page. It’s a rhyming thing (kind of?) and we’re full of shit. I’m on board with that.
I doubt this is a means of travel or existing for the owner’s benefit. Some dogs just have more energy than their owner is capable of keeping up with, and they’ve been bred to have a high-energy job, so the best thing they can do is be given work to do, like pulling their human around.
It’s that or walking them while they choke themselves out on a leash because their human is too slow, and destroy things in the house because they have no outlet.
Except they don’t? At least, I haven’t personally come across any in real life. And I’ve known plenty of vegans and bicycle enthusiasts.
I am, by the way, neither vegan nor hard-core bicyclist.
So what’s the solution here? I’ve heard a lot of stuff about how stuff should be, but the options are not particularly promising. As I see it:
vote local, wait for change to filter up (counterpoint: that’s over a long time range, and for every incremental change it seems like there’s a Citizen’s United, Roe vs. Wade, and PATRIOT Act working in BIG ways in the opposite direction)
vote Biden and try to push him left (counterpoint: hahahaha… oh, sorry, I mean yeah, it has worked to a certain degree when it doesn’t cost him anything or when literally the rest of the Democratic world is against him like with Israel, and only to a small degree, but major changes? Good luck)
Full on revolution (counterpoint: most of the armed and violent people are on the fascist side and have been giddy over the prospect of Civil War 2.0 since Obama took office)
just hold your nose and vote Biden, press and support the Democratic Party to block ways for The Fascists to get more power… register Republican in super red areas to push them away from Fascism, and generally focus on stopping the Fascists first and if we can get back to where we were in the 90s/early 00s, focus on making those big changes. But focus on stopping the Fascists before you lose everything (counterpoint: that is exactly what the people in power want, to give a unending battle to keep what you have so you can’t push for more, and instead lose it all by inches).
Don’t vote, let the Fascists burn it all down, and pick up the pieces to make our Utopia from the ashes like the Federation after the Eugenic Wars. (Counterpoint: …do I need to point out how silly this is? If the Fascists even manage to burn it down instead of doing what Fascists do and expand the crazy and make the world a battleground, the type of people who “rise from the ashes” are rarely the good, Democratic, peace-loving kind. Sorry Star Trek)
I’m not seeing good options, so if anyone can say another option, or how my conclusions are incorrect, I’d love to get new information. But it seems like choosing the best of bad options, and anything but voting Biden (and Democrats) is the path to suffering. As bad as it is, it can always get worse.
Gotta second Henson. Best shave I’ve gotten, and after buying a 100 pack of the razor blades (for, like, $10) I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy anything to shave with ever again. I only shave once or twice a week (and do a light pass with an electric razor between), so I use a new blade every 3-4 weeks. Plus since it’s double-sided, I get two sets of passes per rinse, which doesn’t seem like much but it feels a lot more efficient.
I bought it to not have to buy a crap ton of 5-blade cartridges and nonsense, but my constant razor burn has completely gone away, so it’s generally better.
Sorry, not trying to shill, just was really pleasantly surprised with a product for once.
Mirror selfies seem like a very reasonable thing to do at a gym, particularly if you are looking for progress pics, taking the same picture in the same location while it’s still in your mind.
