They didn’t lead to the apathy - they pointed out the existing apathy would cost Dems the election. It’s like saying the person who said you need to wear a seatbelt caused the wreck.

You’re exactly right about people being excited for Trump and lukewarm on Harris, but that’s entirely on the Democrats for picking the platform and strategy that lost to Trump in 2016.

Harris had a notable and surprising lead when they announced Biden was out - then they changed nothing else. People didn’t just not like the candidate, they didn’t like the policies. They only changed the candidate and thought Trump was a big enough cudgel to bully people into voting even though that demonstrably doesn’t work.

I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.

I was going to put that in the list but felt it was long enough already, but it does fill the fruit dumpling gap.

Wrong time again…

Also Brown definitely wouldn’t have been the first to enforce faux tradition.

That shit has existed forever and the more meaningless, the more militant.

Ketchup on hotdogs. Folded pizza. Seafood with red wine.

All said with more authority yet far less evidence than anything Alton Brown ever said.

Fruit goes on cooked flour.

It’s been like that for centuries.

Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread…

Found the ancient Mesopotamian…

I haven’t shot that much, but I’ve found pistols to be louder than smaller rifles - probably because the barrels are shorter and they’re a fair bit closer to your face.

Would Jesus at least be able fashion a scourge before-hand?

And THAT’S how I got into Juilliard!

Harris chose to do something immoral because “it was the law”, or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you’re actually voting for.

Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she’s one of the worst candidates they’ve put up in years, she’s still far more electable than Biden.

So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It’s the least immoral choice.

I remember it was that he felt his managers should have told him he was an idiot more than they misinformed him. He was upset about what they didn’t say, not what they said.

This was originally a spring song.

? EA has been shit since probably before 1995…

Thankfully Skittles listened to the people and went back to lime instead of stink bug.

This is the way. Though I’ve had to come to a full stop and pull off the road a couple times…

If you’re pacing the car in front of you, you’re already wrong.

Never. Pace. Strangers.

You pass them or let them pass.

Intelligent people leave a whole fucking lot more than just two car lengths.

The two things I can think of are the company may try to tag you for inappropriately handling what they consider confidential information – and if something goes to court and the email ends up in the discovery process, opposing council may be allowed access to your entire personal email account.

It’s probably better to copy everything as an attachment to a dedicated portable drive so it’s less likely to be called out by the company, and if it ends up it court you only need to release the information on that drive.

Corn flakes were famously invented to discourage fucking one’s self.
