It'll be fine, just install retractable roofs on the stadiums (at the taxpayers' expense of course), and air condition the whole field. You'll have to leave a gap at the back for home runs but it's ok if some air conditioning escapes, the taxpayers are paying to cool down the neighborhood!
I'm of the opinion that in a few decades we'll see autism and ADHD dropped from the DSM as we recognize that for the majority of people it isn't a disorder, it's just our brains working differently. The conflict only happens because what we call neurotypicals made the rules for society (both "written" and "unwritten") and are best suited to follow those rules, so the rules never change.
Of course there are people on the non-functional end of the spectrum, and we may either come up with a new term for that, or just redraw the diagnostic line to be closer to the non-functional end.
Of course this assumes we as a species survive past the next couple decades, and that we continue to recognize and support neurodivergence, and start to uproot the neurotypical rules that only benefit neurotypicals.
That's the first time I've seen "vote for the lesser evil" phrased in a way to make it actually appealing.
I know I certainly am. In the US, if a politician with a D next to their name is telling me something, I know they're trying to exploit me on behalf of the owner class. On the other hand, if it's an R politician, they're trying to exploit me on behalf of the owner class and murder me for not being exactly like them.
By context I think the room temperature IQ poster is saying "something", but as I am one of The Olds, I cannot be sure. I know rizz as a noun, so it doesn't make sense in the context they used it in.
The service industry in general isn't doing hot right now. Everywhere I look employers are cutting staff, cutting hours, and doing tip pools. Long gone are the days when a server or bartender could walk home with $300 cash a night; now there's one person tending bar and serving tables and bussing tables, and their tips are mostly credit cards and split between FOH and BOH so no one makes as much money.
The primary explanation I can think of is that the economy never recovered from Covid, when a literal trillion dollars was stolen from the working class and ended up in the pockets of the owner class. After a brief post-covid bump, people realized their money doesn't go as far as it used to and are eating out less. Supplies and rent keep getting more expensive, but no one has more money to keep up.
I don't know how it's going to end, but I'm happy to see shitty family friendly restaurants being among the first to go.
It's how billionaires shop! Didn't you see the 35 ads during the super bowl? Any company spending that much money on advertising has to have a good product!
"I'm going to teach your women to read, and encourage your children to go into a different profession than their fathers'!"
Answering No is one of the few exceptions I make in my stance against the death penalty. One strike, no trial, instant death sentence to be carried out by the nearest available citizen using the most convenient method as picked by the executioner.
I really like your take on this. So how is the switch going to get fixed, when the only time anyone pays attention to the fact that it's broken, is when lives are on the line?
The owner class wrote the rules and will never give up one iota of power. If we want positive change, meaningful progress, it won't be from working within the system.
History only teaches one lesson and it teaches it very plainly: no progress is made without bloodshed. The blood of the worker class has already been spilled, millions of times over.
Bows can be roughly created from easily available materials, making it impossible to ban the ownership of.
"I fired hundreds of employees because a con artists sold me on this new technology, promote me."
I'm not a fan of the Democratic Party (though I did vote for the lesser fascist this time), but that statement isn't entirely fair to them. Yes, the Dems will do all those bullet points, but they'll do that while paying lip service to women and LGBT, and that makes all the difference.
What part of their post made you think they were looking for advice? Sometimes, most times, when things are this shitty, people just want to vent. I've been where they were, and unless you were writing me a no-strings-attached check for my rent money, I wouldn't want to hear a damn word.

the people who work in an area need to be able to afford living in that area.
I read an article in my local paper that 95% of the workers in my town don't live in town. And while there are new apartment buildings going up, paying $2000/mo for 300 sq ft without a washer/dryer or even an oven is not going to be attracting much of that 95% back.
I was unemployed for most of last year and let my insurance lapse. I'd be lucky if anyone would insure me for $350/month.
I was actually surprised that more ballot boxes weren't being firebombed; I didn't know they had fire suppression systems and am glad to hear it (and also slightly shocked that they're necessary; chalk another point on the board for we've failed as a society and as a species).
