  • It probably is regional. I live in a heavily conservative area, and for multiple months now, folks who have been rocking big flags or personal billboards have been displaying them, and then they will take them down. After a while, back up, and then eventually back down. Not sure what is happening. Our fair is in a couple weeks...

  • I thought that was extra interesting with the whole Gabbard deal. Not sure if there is a connection.

  • ...

  • *first in that district. Pretty cool sounding.

  • This is much more unusual than misremembering what state he is in. The state thing seems to happen to everyone, the ekction thing, not so much 🤔

  • That could be, I'm only familiar with the negatives but in reality I know little about that option.

  • That's a good point, having that option could be good if it was supported appropriately.

  • For sure! I have rented from small landlords who were great and like family and responsive to problems. Be those people if you are a landlord.

  • Is rent to own that common? Is it a viable option? I have heard of owner financing situations, but they are generally looked down upon (risky).

  • I understand where you are coming from, but this initiative could come with regulations. It should come with regulations!

  • Most folks who look at this (economic philosophers?) don't believe that regular working folks are part of the problem. Having a 401k or even working in an oil field isn't necessarily being part of the problem. Being an employee of Walmart doesn't mean someone is objectively a capitalist, they just want to eat and generally survive. I avoid driving, but do, and don't lose sleep over it.

  • As a government employee, I have rented from the government (USA) many times over the years. It is a pretty good deal usually. It includes utilities almost always. Sometimes the house is really bad but usually they are ok, and the price per month (they do it by day) is pretty good.

  • Women do care about "normal" things, including abortion.

  • You're not wrong, but tbf like I said, it is referred to as that for historical purposes. We are moving away from the older name but it takes time. For example, AIDS was called GRID at one point. Not now. Nobody does that.

  • Ideally you can change periodically. But for me, the gloves are better than the alternative! I use hand treatment after work. I have (mild) eczema but don't generally suffer. You gotta find what works for you!

  • I think the big issue here is the right wing news ecosystem and their viewers. They consume so much propaganda and believe it wholeheartedly. It's almost like Trump isn't the problem, the youtubers are...

  • the virus itself is still called monkeypox

    Not really, the name is now Mpox but for historical purposes the previous name is still referenced.

  • This meant children born to enslaved Black mothers and free English fathers would be enslaved

    What about children born to orange fathers? None of these people are genuine about anything.
