Women are already sexy, but if they turn out in historic levels to destroy Trump they will somehow become even sexier
  • 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.

    Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes: ‘We want to make America hate again’
  • Unfortunately, I can confirm that it is possible because you can't actually bleach something like that from your brain once you see it. Really it was just the skin that he'd stretched way out but still.

  • Didn't he also eat cereal with pee instead of milk and take a picture of himself stepping on his own nutsack? I feel like this dude is just forcing his gross fetishes on people left and right.

    Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt.
  • I have what I'm pretty sure is gustatory rhinitis, except it's triggered by eating anything, not just spicy food, so I definitely do appreciate the times when my nose isn't running. All 5 minutes a day that it's not.

    Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car?
  • Oh yeah, my next car is definitely going to be an EV, regardless, but it does seem silly to spend the money when A) I drive so little and B) I still have student loans I'm trying to clear out in the next year or so. I'm also secretly hoping that in the meantime Toyota will say, "hey here's a RAV4 that's identical to your current one except it's electric!" because I reaaaally love my car and haven't found anything to take it's blocky little place in my heart yet.

  • Your second paragraph is why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I don't WFH, but my commute is only about 10 miles round trip and most of my errands are done within that same area. My Toyota is 12 years old and only has ~80k miles on it, so it just doesn't make sense to switch at this point.

    That said, I'm casually looking for a new job and my commute would go up dramatically for a lot of options in my field, so I haven't eliminated the possibility.

  • I was gonna say, I'm 40 and I'm fully in my idgaf era. I like a lot of corny shit and I'm gonna be openly enthusiastic about it.

  • That was this morning. I texted everyone that I'd be late and went back to sleep. I failed the escape room, but it was worth it.

    Heritage Foundation staffers flood federal agencies with thousands of information requests.
  • We can't really do that, at least not where I am. Denying a request has to be based on it being information that we genuinely can't release to anyone, we can't just determine we're not releasing something because the requestor is a pain in the ass. We also can't charge people unless it takes more than 2 hours of time per request - depending on how the requests are split up, they may not meet that time. I don't know how FOIA fees work, so maybe it's different, but I also doubt fees will put the very- well-funded Heritage Foundation off too much.

    Heritage Foundation staffers flood federal agencies with thousands of information requests.
  • "Fun" fact, criminal justice records are often subject to different rules than other records. In CO, we have 3 days to respond, or up to 10 if the request is so large that it needs an extension. The police, on the other hand, seem to just fart around forever. FOIA has a longer response time, but I'm guessing most federal agencies don't get the leeway cops do, so getting a ton of these malicious requests back to back is a real pain in the dick. Speaking from experience, I'm glad I'm not the one dealing with these assholes.

  • "You have to enforce a law that says creditors can't discriminate, but you can't talk about discrimination." Sure, Gym. How about shut the fuck up for once in your life. We already know you're a tire fire in human form, you don't have to keep proving it.

  • 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.

    Finally sprung for the 12lb bag because we love these things. I usually make buffalo soy curls and throw them on a salad or mac and cheese, or make lemon "chicken" orzo with them, but I'm open to other suggestions from anyone else who likes them since I have enough for about the next decade.

    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.

    www.theguardian.com Hard-up this holiday? Amazon flyer tells workers to ask company mascot for help

    Workers making $17 an hour not impressed by holiday offer from company that just tripled profits to $9.9bn

    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.
