Could have done the right thing one last time for people who actually experienced it.
Instead, it’ll remain a black mark on the state and now doubly so. We’ll have to wait for the epilogue 100 years from now.
But I suppose you couldn’t have expected much more from a folk who takes pride in stealing land, and doubling down by cheating when doing so.
I don’t visit Twitter, how do I stop hearing about every little toxic bullshit line Elon has to say?
There’s a saying, around here people know it…some people over there may know it too… the enemy of my friend is my enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my contractually non-binding Diplomacy partner.
They used to say that about Ohio. …before that Florida …before that Iowa …before that California ….way before that, Pennsylvania
Queue that XKCD.
Soon it’s going to be Georgia or Arizona And then Texas
I for one, can’t wait for the chili cook offs, and when all the candidates start wearing cowboy hats. The y’all’s will truly have it!
I visited Panama for an agricultural trip about a decade ago where we focused on coffee agriculture and production. Coincidentally, there are some coffees that blend in beans or peanuts to mellow the flavor. This is usually done for cheaper coffees that use robusto beans instead of arabica. It’s also to relieve some of the acrid taste that can develop during the drying out process if the beans are dried around animal droppings.
If you’re interested in what a mellowed coffee would taste like, I think chock full of nuts is a brand you can try in the states.
Edit: ok so I did some more research and it appears that chock full o nuts likely no longer does this, they just have typical coffee nowadays. I’ll leave it to you other internet sleuths to find a brand that does.
He’s player one. All of the rest of us are just NPCs.
It still bewilders me why we are even having this conversation. The guy tried to overthrow our government. The government of the people, in accordance of our constitution. If that’s not the definition of treason I don’t know what is.
I’d donate a few dollars a month. Newgrounds is a great content creation space. I still play games there from time to time. The Mario 63 game is off the wall. Dead Estate is also a fantastic retro style shooter like the ones I remember from my childhood. I think places like this need to survive.
Sure I’ll give it a shot. Romney did Obamacare for Massachusetts, so a moderate republican may do OK with DHHS.
I’d also be OK with Federal Reserve, isn’t a republican currently serving in that role? Bernanke was a republican and he did alright.
Veterans Affairs possibly as well, if Kamala gave guidance.
But keep them the hell away from Energy, EPA and Education. Probably not DOT if we ever want a decent rail system too.
Didn’t Lincoln include members from various political parties? And he’s arguably the best president we’ve had.
It’s as if, and hear me out on this, there aren’t enough progressives alone to elect a president in a nation of 350+ million people.
I suppose it also tells the good guys too.
Hillary got buttery maled and blue walled.
She was exceptionally equipped and would have made for a fine president, after all, she was the one who advocated for Obamacare back in the 90s, (which you may know, was actually a republican plan first, back when republicans used to win New England states).
All that is to say, people like to think Hillary wouldn’t have moved the country to the left, but she most certainly would have. Her public perception may not have been as left as Bernie, and perception absolutely matters (see Joe B). However, like Biden, I think she had such control of the political machinery that she would have been much more effective at putting those plans to action.
The reason I say all of this is, some our most left leaning policies have been enacted by presidents who were elected from the center (Johnson, Clinton, Biden).
Sounds like Ol’ Sleepy Joe got to him. Get that fake handicap low enough Donnie, Joe’s comin’ for ya!
We elect people to make decisions, that’s the whole concept behind representative government. We vote people in at the federal level who are supposed to protect us - it is one of their key responsibilities according to the constitution.
I understand that the concept of representative governance may be lost on people who have little say on those who govern them.
And just to be clear, no, ours is not a perfect system either. I’d prefer ranked choice to FPP voting, but even that has flaws.
What a fun city. Having lived in the South most of my life, I somehow associated it as not a great place to visit. I was so wrong. Yes, it’s a party city, but it’s so, so much more. The food is top notch, the gardens are beautiful, and where else in the south can you ride a cable car, as regular public transportation!
As for the coffee, yea the chicory was different, but it tasted good, added a bit of a root bear kind of taste, mildly pleasant. I wouldn’t drink it every day, I don’t like sweet coffee, but occasionally a nice treat. Coincidentally, I live in Chapel Hill now and the place up the street sells chicory coffee, both brewed and cold brew. It’s nice when, like you, I want to reminisce about that beautiful trip.
Ok, so I am all about working to resolve climate change, very active in the movement even.
But gosh golly gee, can we talk about that particular websites UI for a moment? I do not need a roll ad every 3 seconds. And I really do not need to know that one weird trick on how to get rats to like me.
Again, all for the climate. I’m saying this as I just walked 45 minutes to go grab my lunch. Totally on board with more buses and trains. Big advocate of a Citizens Climate Lobby. Doing my part, hope you do too.
Keep the rats the f away from me!
Or perhaps it’s like wastewater treatment, where we collectively realized we all poop and somehow we need to clean up the waste to still have clean water.
Yep, trimming down the alcohol certainly helps as well. Also helps keep the beetus at bay.
There are some alternatives to cheese that are pretty good. I’m an omnivore but my wife has convinced me that there are some good vegetarian options out there. Might be worth exploring if the low-fat cheese isn’t palatable.
With this, and trimming down my meat consumption to just a few times a week, as well as a little exercise, I’ve kept my LDL numbers below my late 20s highs, which were borderline - I’m nearing two decades older now.
How does this square with the whole libertarian bend?
