It's absolutely voter suppression. Every election we have 1/3 of the electorate that doesn't cast a vote. We could court these couple million undecideds or we could fix the system and have automatic registration and even compulsory voting. And then, you're absolutely right, Republicans would never win again.

Also, dealers don't check ID.

It may be a perfect movie. Robin Wright's acting is a little rigid but otherwise it's a very straightforward sci-fi noir.

I've read this joke 100 times. Is this something Bibi said?

I agree, and we'd have to do it carefully so tipped workers continue making roughly the same as they do now.

Where I live a handful of trendy restaurants announced opened as no-tipping restaurants. They would add a 20% gratuity to every bill and claim it was used "to support a living wage and benefits" to the staff. Usually it was just sucked up into the revenue pile and used however the owner wanted.

If restaurants dropped tipping, raised their prices by 20%, and paid their staff 20% more, I would be okay with that. In the European countries I've visited, it seems to work just fine and food is still cheaper than where I live.

That works a couple times, but then the side seams of the zipper part will start to tear.

Good point. Thanks for saying that.

Honestly, he hasn't fought much in the last 8 years. His decline is 90% from alcohol and cocaine. His talent and work ethic was incredible during his rise, but after the Mayweather fight in 2017 he couldn't resist the Scarface lifestyle he had dreamed about. It's a sad story, not because he's a good person (he's not) but because he went from this athletic anomaly to a scared, weak, delusional has-been. Truly a literary tragedy.

Comedian Geoffrey Asmus said something like, "I don't understand why Republicans are anti-abortion. Isn't abortion just dead liberals?"

What's this now?

Slay the Spire is really nice for limited mobility. Turn based, point and click based. I like to play with one hand while I'm eating with the other.

Nearly every sentence of this is wrong. Suffering is a part of life, but that doesn't mean it's the only part, and it doesn't mean the "logical" solution is to die. Get real.

Is there a sharpener you recommend? Drill Doctor?

I've had the basic one (not the slim - parts of the band on the slim are bare elastic and it's not comfortable) for years and I love it. I'm a side sleeper and I don't have much trouble with the mask getting pushed off, but I do dream about getting the pro version.

Anti abortion? Am I reading that right?

Who would that benefit?

Do you mean that people have had more difficulty keeping track of time and timelines since the pandemic? I've certainly had lots of conversations where someone said, "That was 2 years ago already? What is time anymore?" They're not talking about getting older, but that the pandemic created this blank space where we didn't have our usual traditions or seasonal events. If there isn't a term for this specific phenomenon, we could make one. Pandemic time elasticity?

Why were people smashing windows? Is it dangerous to be on a train that's derailed?
