They actually said that they could have handled it better and made some procedural changes.

Missed opportunity to use "monogamouse"

I’m hopeful about what she will show us, but let’s face it, nothing about Harris just now justifies her being treated as some kind of once-in-a-generation phenom or savior. This is not about substance, but optics. Harris is being received on the basis of a category she fits into rather than who she is as an individual. The thing sweeping so many people up is the idea that her being Black — and a Black woman at that — would in some resonant way shape her presidency. That it would be somehow significant that the president “looks like America.” That Harris’ Blackness would be a meaningful part of “not going back.”

You do the best you can with what you've got.

No one thinks they are saints. Give us a minute to celebrate having a non-geriatric candidate with a vp pick that isn't an incel, abuser, robot, or anti-lgbt closeted homosexual.

And if you want to be a write in candidate, you have to register as one. Everyone could decide to write you in at the last minute, but if you didn't register, it won't get counted.

While Roe v Wade may have been legally about privacy, abortion rights are also absolutely a body autonomy issue ideologically.

If I recall correctly, shouldn't it be "Mr" Pickerd?

"Boomers are cashing out their businesses, leaving hopefully millennials deep in business debt."

Either that or they already had money and it really isn't a wealth transfer.

You aren't wrong, I'm just saying that when I was a kid it was more that they didn't care to accommodate your "special needs", not that they were trying to be responsible.

Responsible is also not trusting strangers with something that can kill you.

It really hasn't though. When I was a kid if you went to a restaurant and tried to get special requirements they'd just tell you to go somewhere else if you didn't like it.

All this allergy sensitivity stuff in good service emerged within my lifetime.

And I agree, why would we ever expect that sort of responsibility to be left in the hands of under paid under trained fast food workers?

Sure, in a perfect world we could train them all perfectly, but it's not a perfect world, if someone can kill you that is harmless to everyone else, it's on you to take precautions. Get your coffee black and doctor it yourself or something. Or trust a random teen who doesn't really understand what is on the line, it's up to you.

Sounds like it's time for someone to discover fur affinity!
