  • So I started this comment as a reply, but I felt like people would also like to hear about this as someone who cares about mud rooms when pretending I can afford to buy a house window shopping.

    I grew up in a rural/small town area where mud rooms are still highly valued to this day. Small houses will also occasionally have mud rooms, even if it's just a weird little hallway. In this area, the mud room usually has built in shelving and enough space to put a shoe rack plus sometimes the washer/dryer. Most commonly, it's about the same sqft of a full bathroom if the washer and dryer aren't in there; only a little bigger if they are.

    I usually see them with hard wood, tile or linoleum floors to make them easy to clean, and a cheap, rough rug from Menards gets thrown on top to wipe and leave shoes.

    Another, and probably more common, thing is a covered and insulated all-season porch. Usually it has screened, cheap windows and spans most of the length of the side it's on. This has less insulating power than a mud room, but with the trade off being a socializing space while semi outdoors and bug free. In the 150 yo house I grew up in, it even had a bathroom because it was a farmhouse. This house didn't have any screens, it was honestly more like a mud room than a porch; however there's also a local terminology thing about size being important in the distinction between mud rooms and porches.

  • Fascism arises because corporations see benefits. Crypto bros and corporations alike both back trump not because they think he's good, but because they see him as a sledgehammer to destroy regulations.

    In other words, countries antagonistic to the US are supporting him, but the fascism is made entirely here in the US.

  • I've considered making a youtube channel discussing politics with a heavy emphasis on organizing unions. I'm extremely proud of my achievements as a part of a successful union campaign, and I want to share what I've learned, give folks some of my war stories, and teach people the political and practical necessities to organizing. The reason I haven't is because I feel like I would get entirely drowned out in the political youtube space

  • Add 2 seats to the bench, and then add 13 total judges. 11 of 22 judges are selected at random to determine the case. The non voting judge opinion becomes part of the case law, as well as an intercollegiate constitutional scholar opinion

  • I've noticed that the reddit drama mostly comes from folks that just left reddit. Every so often the drama gets through to the folks that have been here for a while. I'll be honest I'm generally curious about drama when it reaches me, so I don't mind lmao
