Blooper

10/10 apology; would forgive.

Walled. I’m walled by this.

Was going to say the same thing. I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that’s a pretty low bar.

over half the time

I mean, 100% of the time is over half… so technically correct I suppose. The best kind of correct you might say.

He’s a wannabe tyrant who would absolutely put you to death for this comment should he have actually successfully stolen power and ended democracy. He’s going to try again and the Republican party is ready and willing to stand by him for fear they might finally lose all the power they had only ever been afforded due to gerrymandering and the inherently undemocratic senate.

We’re going to watch Republicans attempt to implement the Turkey playbook and they might just pull it off. An end to democracy as we know it.

Fun story - as a kid my backyard in-ground pool would occasionally get these grapefruit sized ant rafts. No idea why or how they would do it, but somehow they’d find themselves floating around in there. And if you don’t look too closely it just looks like a dead leaf that landed in the pool.

Dove in one hot summer day. Came up for air. Facefull of ants. Never again.

Conservatives used to crow about how they’re the “party of fiscal responsibility” whilst simultaneously blowing up the deficit on completely unhinged endeavors every time they got into power.

They still do, but they used to, too.

It is if you’re targeting edgelord maga folks

I’m only guessing, but it’s possible they’re fed lies about surrender. If he’s convinced that being captured will result in death by torture or starvation (something I’m pretty sure the Russians have been doing to their POW’s), pulling a grenade on your captors might actually seem like a reasonable decision.

I feel bad for the Russian men who men - victims of their own government’s propaganda. Enlisting in a bullshit war only to become fertilizer and coyote food in Ukrainian fields. I still enjoy watching them get their asses kicked though.

Agreed, but I have started buying the Kirkland stuff from Costco because, while it used to suck pretty bad, I think they made some changes to their recipe because it’s now quite good.

Also OP - in case nobody already said it, you gotta shake the hell out of your carton of oat milk each morning. The yummy heavy thickening stuff tends to settle to the bottom.

Wait, don’t you have insurance for the burning down thing?

I agree with this, but also want to point out that gas stations are a poor substitute for a corner grocer or bodega. They are simply too large and require too much land for the function they are serving. Zoning rightfully mandates that they can’t be on the bottom floor of a larger building due to the dangers posed by gasoline and they require lots of space for cars to park.

Essentially, we have forfeited a lot of valuable space to dispensing gasoline and significantly diminished the best features of corner stores by making them serve both functions. I would be curious to see what would happen if gas stations were forbidden from serving anything other than gas in high density areas. I would assume there would be much fewer of them, and each one would be optimized for efficiency to take up as little space as possible. We would also likely see the reemergence of neighborhood bodegas and corner grocers to fill the gap.
