Local candidates usually have websites, do interviews with local papers, and are suuuper excited to talk to potential voters, so people could look at any of that?

Wasn't that an accident for most of them? Like someone said he was a WWII vet but then left out the part where he was German or something?

Pfft, fix your Poilievre problem first. The whole world has a fascism problem lately.

Nah, my Catholic extended family always had a jug of Carlo Rossi (garbage wine sold in gallon jugs, for those lucky enough to be unfamiliar) at every family gathering. No one was ever worried about there being kids. Evangelicals are just lame.

I can honestly say that this is the first time in my life that I've seen someone describe them as beautiful. Most people describe them as looking like a hearse. And not an attractive hearse.

She's a rat, the fat is just making her head look shorter than it is.

(Also, for anyone concerned about abuse, she has a disorder that causes her to get fatty tissue deposits, she's not obese.)

He's black, so I pretty much always worry about that. I just hoped the attempted murder of it all would warrant literally any response from them, but obviously that was stupid of me.

This is shocking. I mean the part where Seattle PD actually did something for once. My friend's son was stabbed in the chest in downtown Seattle and he had the guy's facebook page and info about his car and they pretty much said, "huh, that's a shame."

Yeah but he also doesn't give a single fuck about any of these people.

It's pretty inexpensive this time of year because Germany is cold as balls. My mom and I took a 9 day trip there in the winter a few years back for 2k each, including hotels.

They do, but there are enough conservatives who really hate women that I don't think we'll see a female Republican nominee for a long time. VP again, sure, but look at how a lot of people talked about Nikki Haley. She's plenty authoritarian and a ton of them hated her.

I don't think a Thatcher type could win in the US (thankfully) - there are a ton of evangelicals who don't believe in women having authority on the Republican side, even if that woman is a hateful cow who believes the same things they do.

 

I'm going to a conference next week and while they asked everyone for dietary preferences, I don't have high hopes based on experience (sure, I'd love another "salad" that's just iceberg with no dressing!), so I'm trying to plan ahead and bring some things with me so I don't starve. Unfortunately, the hotel room doesn't have a microwave, just a mini-mini-fridge and I'm bringing my small kettle, so I mostly have to stick to things that can be stored/eaten at room temp, or prepared with just hot water. So far, I have some soy curl jerky to take to long sessions, a couple of ramen bowls, and some bread and packets of almond butter, but I'm kind of out of ideas. There is a Trader Joe's within walking distance, so I can at least grab some fruit or salad when I get a chance, but is there anything else I'm not thinking of that I should pack and/or plan to buy? The conference is a full week, so I'd prefer not to eat crap (like the ramen) the whole time if I can help it.

 

I don't do much handheld gaming, but I'm going to have some overseas flights and long-ish train rides later this year, and may also be having surgery that will keep me fairly bedbound for about a month. I'm just not sure how much money it's worth spending on a deck that I likely won't use much outside of those specific cases - I bought a switch when I got covid in 2020 and used it a ton at the time but I've only used it a few times since, though I miiight use a deck a bit more just because I already have a pretty extensive steam library.

Is it better to stick to the cheapest model or is there enough of a difference that it might be worth spending a little more for a nicer one?

 

This is one of the first kits I got really excited about and I finally grabbed it on Black Friday. I've never done buttonhole stitch and it's a lot of fun now that I have the hang of it. It's a party at my house, as you can see.

 

Yeah, definitely don't put any of those profits toward a living wage though. Make your employees trauma dump for the chance at a few extra bucks! Probably comes as an Amazon gift card, too.

 

I don't know how to cross stitch (and did absolutely zero research before starting this kit), but this is a mood, especially after I realized I miscounted and put the s one space off and now have to pull it back out.

 

Well...mostly. I need to fill in a couple of gaps on the bear, but I lost my mind and decided to try to finish a whole new pattern by 10/1 so I'll have to worry about that later. I'm overall really happy with how both came out. I can see mistakes up close, but I think from a distance, they're both nice. Also, this was before ironing both, please disregard any wonky satin stitch - the thread moves when I wash off the pattern.
