Many have upgraded to extra comfy recliners, some with pairs of seats you can raise the center arm rest and get cozy. With less than half the seats that they used to have, it's far more comfortable.

If he notices, he chuckles to himself. But I'm feeling like he wouldn't care enough to notice which direction the cart goes, as long as it doesn't inconvenience him.

That's just focus. They caught him in his third minute of restaurant.

Yeah, if the take away is that we need to cut out all fats, salt and sugar, then we're missing out on basic nutritional needs. Our bodies REQUIRE fat, salt, and sugar to function properly and for overall health, just in reasonable amounts.

Is my one life really more important than multiple other peoples?

I'm not saying your life is more important than multiple others, I'm pointing out the risk you're asking others to take. If the person you're asking to take that risk has responsibility to their own family, children, possibly elder family members, then we're still discussing impacting the lives of multiple people on both sides of the fence.

I agree that testing like this is shit, but until that's changed or at least somehow improved, then "just lie about it" is an unrealistic expectation.

Ok, would you be willing to gamble your career and freedom on her word that she tested dirty because of eating a salad?

Because your name would be on the paperwork and one of the first individuals pulled in if something questionable happens a year from now and they start auditing. That's what you're suggesting other people do with their lives.

Plenty have been fighting for it, but there's an uphill battle against "but that's socialism and socialism is evil!" and those that personally benefit financially who stand in the way.

Pet peeve - chickens didn't menstruate, they have no reason to. They do however ovulate, which is where we get the eggs from.

"Why does one of the parties fight against people voting?"

In general, high voter turn out leans left.

And each state determines the rules for voting. I'm in Illinois, so when I register I'm assigned a polling place. When I go there to vote, I give them my name (no need for ID) they find it in a book, I sign a thing and they give me a ballot and tear off a receipt that I keep. I'm in a traditionally Democratic/blue State.

Republican/Red states tend to do what they can to make voting harder, like frequent purging of voter registration (and not notifying people that they're not registered anymore) or making it nearly impossible to vote by mail, then require voting in person and limiting the number of places you can vote to the point people stand in line for hours. Oh yeah, then make it illegal to offer people waiting in line a bottle of water.

I've worn contacts for almost 40 years, but got tired of using readers these last several years to be able to, you know, read. After unsuccessfully trying multivocal contacts, I got progressive glasses. My vision? GREAT? The 3 weeks it took to get my brain used to moving my head more and my eyes just right (especially while driving) so that seeing the right part of my prescription wasn't swinging all over the place and making me nauseous? Fucking hell. That was absolute torture. It's worth it on the other side at least.

I do kinda miss contacts. I may get a second opinion for my prescription and try again.
