Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don't want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

Yeah, I hear you - I have an intense sugar addiction, and eat an absolutely disgusting amount of chocolate (see username). At least otherwise I eat pretty healthy.

By the way, the reason milk is in so much is because of how much cheese we eat. When they make cheese, they separate out the whey, which they used to throw away, but now they use in stuff. It has a lot of names: whey, lactose, milk solids, and others. If you're lactose intolerant, you have to watch for that for the same reason you don't have to worry much about hard cheeses: the lactose is mostly in the whey, which comes out of the cheese.

Yeah, came to say the same. I'm different though, I know I'm addicted to it.

I agree she's not a progressive, and I wish she was. But I think she's pretty effective at working the system to get things done, and she still seems pretty shrewd. I mean, the linked article makes a good case that she outplayed both McConnell and McCarthy.

The article's point is that the committee was successful because of who was in it, and Pelosi was the one who orchestrated that, not showing McConnell or McCarthy to get away with their shit.

I sure feel that way about Feinstein, but Pelosi still seems to be one of the more effective politicians.

I assume I'd need to do that on a desktop, correct? I've been exclusively mobile, but could give it a try.

Outdoor cats have a shorter average life span in cities, too. One big cause is cars. Also, it's worth noting that house cats are essentially an invasive species and do a lot of damage to bird populations.

It's pretty widely recommended to keep cats indoors.

On that score, there's not much use trying to reason it out. The 4chan types seem to like kicking down other people's sandcastles. It doesn't buy them anything, they just seem to get off on increasing unhappiness.

As you can see, I posted this from a different instance, so I get that, but I've spent a lot of time subscribing to things from my .world account and it works take a long time to duplicate that on an alt, so my preference would be to stay there as my default.

It's hard to align "kind" with supporting DeSantis policies. Is she a one-issue voter who looks at something like abortion and dismisses everything else? Because the guy is responsible for a lot of suffering.

I agree completely, and posted this question from an alternate account. The admins have been so transparent, the silence on this issue seems really weird. Even the posts on the instance status site are relatively cryptic. I posted this question because it's frustrating not knowing what's going on.

It's been going on since well before that, and they've been pretty good at transparency generally, so that seems unlikely to me.

It's really getting old. But if it's DDoS attacks, I'm not giving up. I might if it was just repeated resource issues, but I refused to be pushed by assholes.

To the extent DeSantis popular, it's only because he says and does things to "own the libs." He isn't a good speaker, he isn't charismatic, and he doesn't have actual ideas for accomplishing anything.

The people who end up voting for him in the primaries will be the ones who simply want to piss off liberals, but figure Trump will be in jail.

I think it's a valid thing to pay attention to, and your example supports that, doesn't contradict it. In the early part of the 2016 election, Clinton was considered a shoe in against Trump. But Trump excited his base h he filled stadiums - while the support for Clinton was much less enthusiastic. And, as we know all too well, Clinton lost.

So yes, seeing the kinds of crowds a candidate draws is one measure that's worth looking at. It's not the whole thing, for sure, especially when some candidates aren't above paying people to attend.

No worries - lots of options, it's easy to miss stuff.

It's already the. Under your profile settings, way towards the top.

Google news, NPR, a few other places more rarely. Not that I'm super prolific.

I'm not sure either of the bottom ones are possible to put on without some amazingly elastic material.
