Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why
  • When people have moved to leaving candy out, perhaps kids thought that not having them out means you're not participating. Also, when many houses have left them out, for efficiency, it makes sense to only go to those houses.

    I'm glad to hear that the sign helped. Shows that some kids aren't just about getting as much candy as possible but also having a bit of fun.

  • If this happens, push the ball of your feet up. The ball of you feet is the front of your foot connected to the toes, helped me many times.

    Appeals Court Further Narrows Voting Rights Act’s Scope
  • Does this mean that if you discriminate minorities as a groups, there's no recourse? They probably can point to how the figures as they have, and they can't submit a joint case.

    Why Donald Trump’s proposal to stop taxing tips is a lame political stunt
  • The minimum wage for service staff in the US is bonkers, and a great example of 'if they could pay you less, they would'. I don't know how often employers actually pay above 2.13 when they don't have to, but I've read a lot more about being paid 2.13 plus tips than above that.

    Britain will not rejoin EU in my lifetime, says Starmer
  • Rejoining the EU isn't a priority for me right now, but in 10 years time, who knows. Ruling out all other types of relationship is stupid. I voted for labour because I wanted to see the Tories out, but if this is really their goal then they might not get my vote in the next election.

    Tennessee GOP votes to keep Confederate flags in classrooms but ban pride flags
  • I learned a bit about how Tennessee legislature works after the expulsion last year. It's frighteningly undemocratic, and it's scary to think that it's gotten even more undemocratic since then. Such a shame, I enjoyed my visit to Nashville a lot.

    Russian Court Jails Woman for Wearing 'Extremist' Rainbow Earrings
  • I wonder how this might even work? If the Russians have been so good at oppressing LGBT symbols, then a rainbow is just a rainbow. It's pretty, why wouldn't you want jewellery that looks like a rainbow?

    It's just business
  • I'm not so sure. It's just one home that's been posted. Then again, the nuance of predatory property 'investing' isn't easy to represent in one picture.

    In any case, I don't get the feeling that the meme is saying that they're as bad as each other, it's making excuses for scalper exploiting consumers.

    Trump faces $250M penalty, ban from doing business in NY when judge issues verdict this month
  • That would still only be a part of his problem though. His trouble was also that the information he put down were factually inaccurate, and he used different valuations for his tax forms.

    A Wisconsin rightwinger’s fall from conservative grace: ‘The Maga crowd despises him’
  • I wonder if he said the bit where he suggested that Democrats may not have more seats because of campaign or strategy with a straight face?

    Maybe he's saying that the democratic need to get better at unrigging the maps? Meanwhile he has blocked effectively, so that's good strategy?
