"Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay."

Hence "4+", because I agree with you wholeheartedly.

When I told people that literally every aspect of life will be worse under Trump, I absolutely meant it. Republican poison will seep into literally every aspect of our lives. And this is exactly what I mean when I say "everything is political" to those who only single out a handful of hot-button issues as "political".

With the rise of fascism in the US, just keep "everything is political" in the back of your mind for the next 4+ years, and if you don't believe it by then, I don't know what to tell you.

Yes exactly! The judiciary is infallible and so that's exactly why the SCOTUS is the least fallible institution there is.

I was making a sarcastic analogy aimed at how dumb the original commenter's request was. I do agree with you.

And be sure not to take them to the polls with you. The stakes have genuinely never been higher, and "they go low, we go high" doesn't work on fascists.

Hey, you shouldn't presume to know what other people do with their free time.

It's funny you should ask that; I was just about to reach out to ruud over Matrix and have been thinking about it for a couple weeks. I'd love to if that's alright with the admin team.

>Not a country

>Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken badly about and deliberately mistreated Puerto Rico

>Donald Trump also routinely speaks extremely badly about the country Puerto Rico is in

I'm glad he's changed his mind at the literal last minute, but it baffles me every day how ignorant people can be.

Petition to restart [email protected], by the way.

I know this story didn't happen because there's no such thing as "too many tamales".

Definitely written by a legal team masquerading as someone who actually cares about/had any role in founding the platform.

 

Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.

President Biden on Tuesday announced $2.6 billion in funding to replace all lead pipes in the United States as part of a new EPA rule that will require lead pipes to be identified and replaced within 10 years using the new funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act.

Autumn is upon us in the northern hemisphere, and parts of the southern ought to still be pretty chilly. If you start getting cold, try tucking in your shirt. If you're wearing long pants and long socks, you can even tuck your pants into your socks, and this one's a big help too.

Why YSK: this one tip can save you a ton of money over your lifetime by lowering the threshold for when you need to put the heat on in your house, and it can make you feel more comfortable in the colder seasons. Wearing thicker clothes and layering helps, but there's only so many layers you can comfortably wear and clothes can only be so thick before you probably don't feel comfortable wearing them inside. If you're out and about, it might not be realistic or convenient to throw on another layer. This has become my first line of defense when I start getting cold. You should feel noticeably warmer within minutes.

Additional tip: if you have two shirts on, you can tuck the overshirt into your pants and the undershirt into your underpants to create a pocket of warm air that's way more insulating than if you tucked them into the same layer.

Edit: I know this is "common sense", but you'd be shocked at how many people either don't know about this or forget to use it.
