A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

That seems like a lot of work for not that much more payoff than just hiring a couple of meth heads to do the same thing.

But...that is the common definition of "food desert."

"A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food."

I realize the article has issues, but the definition has sources cited for its common usage. If you don't like the definition, fine, but it's a definite term for a defined phenomenon. You don't get to pretend the phenomenon doesn't exist because the term isn't perfect...

I'm gonna be honest, I don't care any how many "balls to the chin" she takes. She's an adult, now an unmarried adult; if she wants to line 'em up and go to town, more power to her. Go nuts, lady.

It's the hypocrisy, positioning herself as hyper-moral and a righteous judge of the sexuality of others, and the public nature (with minors close-by) of this sex act. With that, I also hate her for participating in the destruction of democracy in the United States and other awfulness she perpetrates as a representative.

Go nuts, lady; get your freak on. But stop being a hypocrite about it, and stop making the United States worse.

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.
