Ppl have been mentioning the plastic in the paper cups but I haven't seen anyone mention that large cups used to all be Styrofoam. Some places all the cups were Styrofoam. And that was god awful for the environment. They were amazing though. Getting a giant sweet tea in a cup that never sweated was phenomenal. Shame they suck so bad.

This seems to be how the majority of Democrats in office are and they'll never see themselves as wrong... They just point at Trump and say he's what's wrong. And yeah they're not wrong about that but that doesn't make them right or good either. You get stuck running for a bad candidate or a downright evil candidate. And yeah I voted for Harris. I voted for Biden and Hilary too. Id vote for a literal log of shit on the floor before I voted for Trump, but that doesn't mean I liked the Democratic candidates or that I'm super happy with party. This country isn't set up to make third party candidates an option.. But no...I don't think the Democrats in office will every see themselves as a problem.

In b4 they stop reporting cases

That's a large portion of it yes. Don't forget that 150k salary is before taxes. The cost of food has sky rocketed lately. Don't forget transportation. If you live in a big city you might take a bus or Metro, but for most Americans there isn't a good network so add gas, car insurance, and possibly a car payment if you don't own. And if you have kids get ready for child care expenses, unless you have a stay at home parent... But then you only have one income. Rent, utilities, little glasses for Timmy, cell phone bills and those TV subscriptions you're slowly sailing the high seas on as they nickel and dime you. It all adds up.

Back when Amazon first came out they were only doing books. They often had books other bookstores didn't have or carry and they were packaged with care. Nowadays any book you get from Amazon is usually printed crappily, with pages stuck together, cut off, or not even cut. Then they throw it in a box without packing where it bounces around and gets bent up. Regular bookstores now have good online platforms and if they don't have a book in store they can almost always order it. I know I'll get a quality print that isn't bent to crap. The only downside is occasionally they'll stick stickers somewhere that you're pretty sure the gods themselves super glued onto it.

This is correct and something I learned about recently. The style of a lot of middle eastern type clothing is all very loose and baggy for both men and women, because of that, the color of the clothing doesn't affect it's heat intake. It's thought that a lot of clothing styles came to be because of what was available to use to weave them. If I'm remembering correct, the desert areas had a lot of wool to work with. Wool is an insulator... So in order to wear it in that climate they wove it very loose with a lot of layers and baggyness. I'm not an expert on the matter though, so I might be mistaken

Seen a lot of men like this with the "ideals" except they have a good job and think it's a crowning achievement. They also often want their wives to have good jobs and to have separate accounts and expenses? So they want a perfect, pretty, petite wife who's smart, has a great job, but also cooks, cleans, takes care of the house, and their children. What do they bring to the table? Not the looks, money or house help. Their ✨shining personality ✨? Don't worry ladies this alpha nice guy's on the market & just around the corner, lucky you!

I think you're misunderstanding. He's saying Republican states that hate welfare are usually the welfare states that need the most funding and then the only money they want to give back, it's to ultra millionaire conservatives who parrot the welfare Queen rhetoric.

The anecdote my dad always told me was being smart is knowing it's a one way street, being wise is looking both ways anyways

Comment+user name= absolute vibe

I've never heard of this issue. I know of at least 3 in my area that I could walk in, give them my id, fill out a small piece of paper and rent a gun and buy ammo to shoot there right there and then. I've even brought my Canadian in laws. They were able to shoot with just their passports. Rural ish PA btw

I've seen it happen when I was in high school. It was usually a call out between friends and 90% of the time it was a led zeppelin shirt. Never seen it between two strangers on the street though

It was zool and commander keen for me. Hard to describe and find the answer on Google for odd candy mountain game and game with trees with weird ass eyes. Anyways, found it eventually lol

There's the Astarion/cazador scene depending on what routes you take in act 3 but I don't want to spoil anything. It's pretty brutal.

There are cost of living calculators that give very basic averages of areas. I can tell when I lived in NC I paid about 30$ for car insurance. But when I lived in Detroit MI I payed about 300$. Monthly. That was about 7-8 years ago. Apartments in my small little town in PA are going for about 1500-1800$ for a 1 bedroom apartment. For healthcare I pay about 200$ a week. That's for a family of 3.

Regular recycling isn't even an option where I live. You can literally only get a regular trash container. Sticks/leaves etc they'll take if you bring it to a center but there's no collection for that either.

Fir and sandalwood come to mind immediately but I can tell this was written by a man who has never stepped into a bath and body works in their entire life. Wtf is "infinite radiance" "hello happiness" and "into the night" fragrance supposed to be. They been doing this to women for just as long.

Minivans there are unfortunately not too many options. Hondas reliable but I remember the minivan lacking some features. There's the Kia carnival, it's a very handsome car but it's a Kia and they don't have a great track record on reliability. Your final option is the chrysler Pacifica, which I've heard good things about. Might be the best option.

That's exactly what he's saying. How do you test for "diminished capacity" we've had arbitrary tests like that in the USA before. It didn't go well for certain "types" of people. It's a very slippery slope. That's why it's a right for for all citizens, even if they are dumber than a potato. Creating an arbitrary age limitation introduces a new landmine no politician in their right mind wants to step on.

We're about to be on the market for a new thermostat so this post is just in time. My husband got us a nest and apparently after 10 years they just nope out. Not because it breaks per say but because after 10 years it just shuts down no matter what "expires". Might consider the honeywell
