You and I both know it doesn’t matter what you say. All they have to hear is the word trans and they won’t vote for it.

I hate saying this but imma be honest with you. They absolutely won because they abandoned trans rights as a talking point. You have no idea how many peoples single issue with not voting democrats was gender affirming care. They hate it and will tell you in the same breath that circumcision is ok. The only reason so many republicans flipped was because of how bad the economy is performing.

I’m not saying to abandon trans rights but I think I speak for the majority when I say that running on policy that affects 1% of the population and angers 50% of the population is stupid. Instead of phrasing it to help trans people, we should focus on expanding healthcare access to ALL citizens. Not just trans people.

I hope they freeze his assets and reasses his tax bill to make him pay his fair share before he tries to leave again

The fight isn’t over. The next 2 years will only be about stopping trumps agenda. Without a supermajority Trump will veto every single bill. Our focus should be about restructuring the party so people like Jeffries and other Israel sympathizers take a seat and wait patiently for us to get rid of them.

I have a ton of scrap wood that will fit perfectly. Just need to grab some screws. Thanks for the tip!

It actually has a name it’s called task activation avoidance. We want to ignore it as long as possible because the minute we open it it becomes another responsibility we have to remember and complete. I struggle with this a lot but what helps is if I tackle them one at a time. I block off time out of my day to open them one at a time and try to complete it 100% whether that’s simply responding back or getting the person an answer. I definitely don’t always get them all but I do get a bit of dopamine from the feeling of completing one of them so there’s that.

I’m going to follow the advice of someone else and just screw it back but you bring up another issue that I would like to tackle. For clarity my issue was never the valve but the hoses poking out and I figured if I have to remove the valve to address the hoses I might as well get a valve that functions better. You are correct that it is some builder nonsense.

What should I be telling a plumber to do to fix the transition so it’s not pushing out? I want to have an idea what I’m asking for so I don’t get taken advantage of and over charged.

Didn’t even consider future repairs. That’s a good point. I’ll definitely look at just screwing it back down.

70% of the country doesn’t like Trump so the majority of his viewers will want to hear anti Trump content.

It’s ok nobody’s perfect.

Off the top of my head Sinema became famous for blocking a minimum wage increase. She was definitely a establishment spoiler because she didn’t do anything but block stuff. Manchin gets a pass in my book because he was actually voting for his constituents. He ran as Democrat but he was actually a left leaning republican representing West Virginia which is Republican territory. He didn’t block much but he stonewalled anything that was remotely progressive. Torpedoed any bill that didn’t give massive concessions to republicans or West Virginia.

Gooning is free and generally a 1 person activity.
