They’ve taken the side of corporations over unions and dangle popular policies like Medicare for all until the general election where they abandon it.

But mostly it’s vibes. The Dems don’t say “it’s hard we’ll fix it” they say “it’s actually going really well we already fixed it”

Yes, but I can grow human food on the same plots of land.

In my experience mostly yeah. Except my first one, 2012 was a glorious election

Yes. America has always been two countries. I hate the America they love and they hate the America we love. And the problem is that these Americas have always existed together. We’re the Union to their confederacy. We’re the premature anti fascists to their silver shirts.

Because its role is to aid in the voiding process. Much as part of the role of water is to serve as a carrier of urea out of the body, fiber’s job is to provide, bulk of a sort that’s easy on your intestines for the removal of waste. We could have evolved different dietary needs, but as fiber is plentiful in what we ate in the wild we adapted around it. Similar to how cats need external sources of taurine but we don’t.

Cuban exile votes in a critical state

Damn

My best friends are on the other side of the country. We met playing d&d over voice chat over the pandemic but got along so well we had to start having extra calls to just chat or else we wouldn’t be able to get around to playing.

At this point I’ve seen them in person more often than my local pathfinder group with whom I also play over voice chat.

But yeah I agree in general about text only friends

Men like Andrew Tate get mad when people are uncomfortable with masculinity and then proceed to accuse men of stuff that not even Andrea Dworkin would dare say. Amongst the serious anti man feminists they at least believed men can be better

AT&T asks the same question. They provide the bold option to pay more than the competition and get data limits on your home internet.

Everywhere’s military has a strong German accent. Prussia wrecked everyone’s shit in the early modern period and a bunch of Hessians built the United States Army.

It’s long been treated as a vice when practiced outside marriage. I disagree with that but it’s a thing

I’d be fucking pissed if they put meat in my cocktail

Oh shit I need to go pester my family to let me be a citizen (or recheck and go talk to an EU focused immigration lawyer to discuss where exactly in Europe my family was when to see if I qualify)

Here in America I work 7.5 with two 15 minute paid breaks and a half hour unpaid lunch. So it’s really more like 8:30-5

Ok I’m actually shocked that the sino-Soviet split and Chinese development of thermonuclear weapons doesn’t show up on china’s portion of this graph

Negative punishment paired with discussion of behavior and reasoning seems to be the gold standard these days.

I think you really hit one of my concerning points. A lot of people who defend spanking seem to be over enthusiastically defending spanking. I know parents who regret that they have to use physical force at times and struggle to use the minimum amount, and they shouldn’t be judged if they’re only using it to prevent immediate harm. But I regularly see people talking about spanking like they’re looking for an excuse. So often it seems to be a means of demonstrating power over a child or getting immediate relief from a child being frustrating.

And personally as a former little shit, I don’t think that the time my parents spanked me was on the list of things that fucked me up, hell I’m pretty sure I deserved it that time. But it also wasn’t what got me to behave. That was my mom creating an environment of trust and giving even handed punishments alongside discussions about why.

I just loved the beer vending machines. Not as much as I would have as a teenager that looked 20 something but that’s why we can’t have nice things here

Exactly. It’s concerning that a private individual is allowed to do this, much less without government competition. It’s like we’ve forgotten that the boosters that got us to the moon were the same missiles that terrorized Britain.
