Thanks, you too!

That's a lot of selective interpreting right there, lol.

I don't have the time or want to unravel everything - I'm only sharing evidence that good things are happening amidst all the doom and gloom, and they're typically lead by Democrats.

That's a strange line of reasoning to discourage voting. I just got my mail in ballot, I'll probably be dropping it off the next time I have a day off.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your point. Can you clarify?

Do the Democrats have unilateral control at the federal level? Seems far from that to me.

Also worth pointing out that it's not third party candidates or Republicans passing these state policies. It's democrats.

So I know it's nice to doompost, but there certainly are good things to look for.

Some states are working towards making education more available. New Mexico has free tuition, period.

Rampant inflation for food, housing, and utilities with no end in sight

We're almost back to historical norms for inflation.

Cops are still killing at will, and cop cities are becoming a thing

Some states have removed qualified immunity for cops.

Now that's a bold and uninformed take.

I explained here, but that's why I prefer using the right-hand-rule. Sometimes thinking about clockwise in strange frame of references hurts my little brain.

Oh God I hate those sneaky left-thread bastards lol.

It's especially helpful when you're looking at screws (or nuts!) from the back or any other weird frame of reference.

I use the right hand rule - ball up your fist with your thumb sticking out, and turning in the direction of your fingers curling will result in the screw going the rest your thumb points.

As others have said, every time this gets brought up, the counterpoint is that we already pay more for healthcare than other countries, and there is 0 response.

At some point it's just old man yells at cloud.

Wife and I have both finished the book and absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the recommendation. Here's to books 2 and 3!

When I'm senile? Ice cream sandwiches. I'd have forgotten I'm lactose intolerant, God be with the poor soul taking care of me.

I'm so glad that you posted this. I had a similar experience. My personal goal is to ask some things only twice, and then suck it up and move on.

The girl I dated in high school broke up with me when college started. A few years later, we were talking again, and we were in the friendship fog. I asked her out again, she said no. That also hurt like hell, but I told myself I've asked twice. Time to move on.

I actually recently found a journal entry from that night - "It feels like I am king of the friend zone with her, but holy shit it feels so good to have that cleared up, and now I know I have a solid friend who I don't have to worry about dating potential".

After that she was the first female friend who I didn't constantly have a thought of "...but what if?", and that was incredible.

Over 10 years later, she's like a sister to me - she was my best ma'am at my wedding, and I was a bridesman at hers. (my wife likes to poke fun at the imbalance here, but we had a small wedding haha)

Carrier has arrived

A little extra rough that the naval defence guy states the claims are untrue

If there was a society where a penalty-free regulation would have actual effects, it's Japan.

You should see the death glares people get if they're loud on the train.

Rec (2007) . A slow night where a novice news reporter shows a day in the life of the local firestation turns into so much more.

I think there's something about the intersection between found footage and a foreign (to me) film that makes it so much more believable and enjoyable. This is miles beyond the US remake, quarantine. No big name actors here to ruin the found footage vibe. Just a small town news reporter meandering through a slow night at a local fire station.

There was a scene that had my jaw dropped for 5 minutes straight
