Ranked choice only goes so far when the electorate is batshit insane and willfully ignorant.

Dems will never win an election again if they prioritize trying to win the votes of ""centrists"" who are too sexist to vote for a woman.

Well yeah, it's not newsworthy that a random person died. The newsworthy part is 'holy shit this baby lived somehow.'

You almost have a point but to get there you have to ignore the entire actual context of the conflict. It's not just killing because of killing, there's an entire ongoing expansionist colonial project making one party clearly the aggressor.

"Hope you're ready to define words, dictionary" that's their whole thing dude.

Also I would highly recommend anyone into anime to check out Fune wo Amu/The Great Passage. It's an anime about the creation of a dictionary. It's a pretty compelling love letter to the idea of language in general. I think I started watching it when it was airing thinking 'this sounds boring as hell, they've gotta be cooking something if this got funded' and they were.

complaining about kids these days not enjoying the same shit you did when you were a kid

I have 0 idea how you could have read that from the image. It's about the seemingly exponential improvement in graphics or just how fast things were changing in gaming.

"we need someone to run the government like a business" "lets pick this guy with 40 bankruptcies" my guy even if the premise wasn't idiotic what did you think would happen

I work at the Target warehouse that supplies the northwest, should be interesting to see if this actually noticeably changes our daily product volume. Gonna hazard a guess at no probably not. I should have some idea within 24 hours thanks to just in time logistics but seasonal product could fuzz the numbers a bit.

Works for me though, I'm mostly here for the tuition benefit and I don't lose benefits eligibility unless I dip below 20/hr/week average which I can't imagine happening.

Update: Maybe, actually. Today was the lowest volume so far this week but we're just sorta back to the volume we were running last week. We'll see if it sticks.

Update 2: lol, today's volume is even higher than last week. It's just volatile right now I guess, no discernible impact.

Odd take because plenty of communities have lower populations and still have restaurants of their cuisine. But also because there are a bunch of native cuisine restaurants.

It doesn't help that a relatively equal society without extreme division of labor is probably not producing cuisine on the same level as cultures with extreme inequality. A class of jealous and idle nobles with personal chefs trying to outdo each other does a lot to push culinary experimentation.

"but it feels like old reddit". My god, imagine actively preferring the new reddit UI. Let them keep their shiny jangling keys instead of coming over here and pestering the devs for a snoovatar feature or whatever nonsense.

The 'maybe read for 2 minutes to figure it out' miniscule barrier to entry is a feature not a bug.

Ah, the extremely shitty pen that scratches so bad you might as well carve your message into the paper. Lasts maybe 3 lines before it starts skipping but who cares. It exists to be as cheap as possible so your customer you don't respect can pocket it after initialing twice and signing something.

I hate bad cheap pens so much. I never would have gotten into fountain pens if there wasn't the counter example of how bad a writing experience can get.

I mean it's not good but https://jesus-is-savior.com/ is just rabbit hole upon rabbit hole. CW: gore, sexism, queerphobia, probably other bigotry

spoiler because finding it yourself is definitely an experiencesomehow the most insane part of the website is when you find the Hawaiian music https://jesus-is-savior.com/sounds/music_from_my_heart.htm
