  • Just because you're in a turn only lane doesn't mean other drivers know you're in a turn only lane.

    The turn signal is for them, not for you.

  • Oh, nobody is talking about SELLING homes to addicts, they're owned by some non-profit and are just supposed to give them to addicts. :)

  • I don't know what they were invested in, but I remember the weeping.

  • No need to qualify that...

    "RFK Jr. Knows Amazingly Little About Autism"

  • Gen X. 2008 I was working full time as a systems administrator for an envelope manufacturer. All those foreclosure notices weren't mailing themselves...

    It was hard seeing people I worked with nearing retirement age have their entire portfolios wiped though.

    Of course if they had invested when the Dow was 7,800...

  • First time buyer at 52 here... all it took was a heart attack forcing work from home a year before the global pandemic, then 2 more years WFH to bank $30K in cash for the minimal down on a $390K house.

    Mortgage is just over $2K a month, while the rent on our last apartment had been $1,800, is now $2,300.

  • 1st good look at Metamorpho too...

  • Because Obama proposed it, they opposed anything with Obamas involvement.

  • Again, that's what I'm talking about. If someone is mentally ill or has addiction issues so severe they are homeless then hospitalization is medically necessary.

    Get them fit first, get them the tools they need to survive, then get them housed.

    Otherwise all you're doing is sealing them in a room with untreated issues, making it all 1000x worse.

  • I'd think a test loop would be easier to game though, either through geolocation or other methods.

  • No, I'm saying that Barack Obama, the architect of the plan, straight up told everyone he based it on Mitt Romney's health care plan in Massachusetts.

    That's what people mean when they say "Republican Plan". It's a copy pasta from Mitt "Corporations are people, my friend" Romney.

  • Calling another user a Russian bot is a civility violation so your comment is removed.

    But further, the reason Obamacare is often called "a Republican plan" is two-fold:

    First, there's not a lot of daylight between Obamacare and what Mitt Romney implemented in Massachusetts as "Romneycare". Democrats would like to believe otherwise, Republicans would like to pretend otherwise, but there it is:

    https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/romneycare-vs-obamacare-key-similarities-differences/

    "you guys had a proven model that we built the Affordable Care Act on this template of proven, bipartisan success.  Your law was the model for the nation’s law.” - Barack Obama.

    Second, unlike universal health care, Obamacare forced people into the clutches of the for profit health care system when, ideally, it should have eliminated it. Forcing people to give money to companies is a Republican bulwark, not a Democratic one.

  • Or, now follow me on this... OR you hospitalize them while they are being treated.

  • You Are Here

  • Not banning people that I'm aware of, definitely removing content advocating murder, that happens daily, if not hourly.

    A pretty stunning indictment coming from David Brooks.

    Brooks, if you don't know, has been a conservative commentator for... geeze... decades?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brooks_(commentator)

    I used to really enjoy watching him on the PBS Newshour when they would partner him with the late Mark Shields (now with Jonathan Capehart).

    "Branham’s first, middle, last name, and age matches that of a person whom actor Scarlett Johansson has previously accused of stalking in an application for a restraining order, according to court documents filed in California. 

    Those documents show that a judge denied the request for a restraining order on a technicality. A representative for Johansson declined to comment."

    Leavitt: Trump tariffs won’t lead to ‘pain’ for American-owned businesses or US workers

    Technically true, you can't "lead to pain" if you're already causing pain. :)

    'We're digging people out with our bare hands': Hunt for survivors as Myanmar quake kills dozens

    Personal for me since my daughter in law is from there. She's trying to reach out but a) infrastructure damage and b) everyone else is trying too.

    Edit 6.4 aftershock 12 minutes later.

    Edit Map for those unfamiliar. Epicenter was NW of Sagaing, close to Mandalay, pretty much dead center of the country.

    Buildings damaged completely collapsed as far away as Bangkok.

    See dots on map.

    Update from my daughter in law:

    "I just spoke with my mom. Fortunately, my family is safe, but there are some damages to our house (Yangon) and my dad’s office (Naypyidaw).

    I’ve heard that it is worse in Bangkok. My second brother is currently visiting there, and my family is trying to reach him."

    If anyone needs a list for protest action, it's super cool for the White House to put it all in one place.

    Discovering "Soberdough"

    Found bags of this at our local hardware store(?) and were like "We have to try this!"

    Despite the name, you mix the mix with beer. Yes, they have a pairing chart. For non-alcoholic options, you can use other sparkling beverages, for the cranberry/orange loaf I used a sparkling pear.

    Came out super tasty. More dense than "bread" bread, almost a cornbread or banana bread texture. Which makes sense since there was no rising time.

    Jim Kay dropped out as the illustrator in 2021 after doing the first five books in the series and we've kind of been in a holding pattern ever since.

    Levi Pinfold was just announced for the final 2 books.
