The fact that you're registered is wild to me. One of the few things my state has right is having open primaries imo

My state banned ranked choice voting by an insane margin because it was worded like "only citizens should be allowed to vote, and each citizen only gets one vote each!" Literally two Google searches would clear it up if people had more critical thinking skills

Are they arguing it wasn't random though? I mean Shakespeare had to think through the plot and everything, not just scribble nonsense on a page

I'm subbed to my local NPR's daily top news stories. Highly recommend folks in the US look to see if their local station has a similar program or find the closest one.

This gave me a weird reminder of an elementary teacher I had that wore this animal print often (not like leopard print, but actual leopards on it?)

In hindsight, your question is spot on. I was an extremely miserable child to even take note enough to still remember that in a critical way. Not that I'm critical of it now, and I never said it to the teacher or anything. I gave her trouble enough in other ways

I wish I remembered her name now. Poor lady. She was nice

69% of the time, it works every time

Again with insults? I don't think I'll be continuing to reply. Have a good one.

I see where you're coming from. It could branch out to any person or organization, though, wouldn't you think? Like I brought up in my original comment, I "stage" my home for myself, firstly, because it makes me feel comfortable. I also do a lot of video calls for work, school, and with friends. So I wonder where the delineation is. When and why does it become inauthentic?

I'm in a charged enough environment that seeing your aggressive language is too much for me to read beyond three sentences. It doesn't seem you read my full comment based on those three, anyway. You don't need to reply or repeat yourself but if you don't mind clarifying, would you mind considering running it by ChatGPT or something to make sure it's civil first? I don't think my comment warranted this attitude. Thank you.

Words can have multiple meanings. Harris didn't go to McDonald's and work a shift as a politician to get the photo op. Her showing up for her "shift" at the White House isn't any more staged, imo. If you want to say that the entire White House is staged, shit like that, then by that metric everyone's job is staged. Which, hey, if you find value in "staging" your home or work area, that's great. I think we should differentiate how Trump & Mussolini here clearly made their decision to do these jobs for just long enough for cameras and potential voters, though. There's really no other substance to take away from the pictures.

The carton stuff literally tasted like sweat the one time I tried

 

I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent
