This is the compromise to all the red states that can't access ph anymore.

So homeless then, I guess. Unless there's some secret sauce to owning/renting a home in DC and your home district while making $16k annually (that's the average after tax income for the lowest earning quintile of the population)

Edit: i may be misreading what you meant...if you meant they'd be in the 4th lowest quintile, that gets its up to around $120k...still a tall order.

At least until the next pandemic

To be fair, our government then hired any Nazi they thought was smart enough to be useful.

It's probably a chute for an old coal or wood heater. These are pretty common in houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century in the US.

We just elected someone who promised to fix everyone's cost of living concerns by deporting 1/3 of our agriculture workforce and applying blanket tariffs. We are not a smart people.

I don't remember how old I was when I figured it out, but I do remember being upset about being lied to about it. I've got 2 kids now, and whenever they would ask about Santa or the Tooth Fairy or anything like that, I would kind of turn the question around and ask how they thought it worked. Sometimes, I miss believing in that sort of magic, and I didn't want to take that from them or lie to them, so that's the balance I found. It seems to be working well. Our oldest had it pretty well figured out by around age 9...our youngest is almost 9 now, and she hasn't straight up told me she knows it's not real, but the kinds of questions she asks and how she reasons through her answers I think she's figured it out mostly as well.

Neither. I'm actually pretty well aware of the harms caused by places I've worked, including in the US military. I've even left places when I couldn't square that circle. I figured the comment would get some heavy down voting because I know how most of the world is looking at the scenario. I felt some schadenfreude watching the guy get gunned down, too. My perspective is that I see the left committing a lot of the same logical fallacies typically committed by the right in this scenario. It feels a little too close to "well, the cops wouldn't have shot him in the back if he just complied" or "Palestinians elected terrorists so they're all terrorists and gldeserve whatever they get" arguments to me. I try to practice the Principal of Charity, and I don't have any good evidence that this man was cackling with glee while personally slamming a big red "DENIED" stamp on grannies chemo medicine claims. If he'd approved every claim, he would be fired, and they'd bring someone else in to deny the claims. I'm not defending the insurance industry or capitalism for-profit healthcare, but I worry more generally about society normalizing or celebrating violence.l and where that's moght take us.

I mean, needless suffering and cruelty are kinda that god's bag...

 

Bout damn time

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post or not, but I got a 22 Audi plugin EV a few months ago, and it's coming due for inspection/maintenance. Should I trust a "normal" mechanic with it or pay more to take it to a dealership?

They even make pants outta this stuff!

 

A sliver of good news and a reminder that talking to your elected officials CAN make a difference, even if they're generally horrible people. Mr. Pillen realized that hungry kids were actual people after talking to some and decided, "Nebraska needs to do better." No shit Governor, but thank you for not digging your heals in this time and being willing to take free money from the feds to feed hingey children.

I'm just watching the series through the first time, and it occurred to me how funny it would have been if Zoro was with the team that went to Big Cake Island and, no matter what, he was unable to get lost in the woods.
