Empathy and caring how others want to be referred to is HR?? Lol, wild...

Surely you mean the much worse "Max".

Okay, I'm sold.

Wait, you're saying not to use coffee in a Stanley thermos?? Even if I don't have milk in it too? What's it for then, only soup?

Other people are saying "cast iron" or other broad brands/categories, but this is the only one that doesn't fall under OP's request?? Nonsense.

In that case, it's probably any gasket that's susceptible to this, coffee is really strong-smelling. My Zojirushi thermos is only used for coffee, for this reason...

Wait, we're supposed to be involving mist? Women just get more and more complicated...

"The Media" is several separate giant corporations. They focus on profits. Why would you assume they care or prioritize protecting democracy!?

I feel like you don't fully understand that the line can go up. At the expense of everything...

If they had voted, they wouldn't have to worry about anything else.

"Huh. I threw away my vote and now they're talking about implementing Project 2025 during Trump's revenge administration! Weird..."

Yes.

Why. Are you still there!?

Apologies, I wasn't trying to be productive. The time for that was before the election. Swifties, Gen Z, Gen X, Millennials, boomers, women, men, minorities, etc had the chance to stop Project 2025 and we all failed. I think election results show low turnout across all demographics? And now a lot of people are going to be hurt by the Trump/GOP policies of hate...

How dare you.

We thought we could bargain with and persuade "conservatives". They voted for this, they are okay with women dying in hospitals because the doctors can't legally intervene. The supposed "Pro Life" party. I wasn't okay with abortion early in my male, hetero, American, white, life but now I see. They are only pro-fetus. Once a child is born, Republicans don't care if they starve, if they have access to clean water, if they can afford food, if they have shelter, if they are raped, etc... Multiply that by about 100x if they don't have white skin.

"Conservatives" are almost as bad as MAGAts, and just as unreachable with reason, logic, and empathy. I don't have a solution, I'm just pissed off. And I'm far from the most-harmed people will be the result of this greed, racism, apathy, and hate. Sorry...

This country is fucked. We can't breed our way out of it, and trying is gross.

People who start from an illogical assumption and then expect you to argue against it confuse me. "Failure points"? I'm guessing you're young and don't mail things often, but they basically don't happen. Like, ever. 999/1000 times, it just gets there, they all do. The same could be said of risking a malicious person collecting the polls at a drop-box, or it could get dropped in the election day chaos.

As for why they might not want to go in person? That's literally the easiest option, there's not really a middle-man. My state sends the ballot in the mail (yes, I've always gotten it). Then we can leisurely fill it out at home, privately, with all the time and resources to research ballot measures, etc. Then just drop it in outgoing mail at home or work and it'll just get there. Again, never even heard of anyone ever having issues. And you can track it and submit a provisional ballot in case something does happen to the original one.

Damn, that already feels like a million years ago. You didn't have to be a news junkie like me to see that quote and know that Trump lost the only debate the coward showed up to. Literally unfit to lead. Yet people just said "don't care, want boot!" and voted him in anyway. So embarrassed for my stupid country...

While suing nonprofit fan projects and streamers into oblivion, ignoring hardware defects, and keeping their game prices artificially high, unavailable, or both. Man, they make it difficult to be a fan...

Project 2025. Complete control of all branches of government. A Supreme Court that says he can do whatever he wants. I'm sorry to be pessimistic, but we're absolutely fucked.

the drifting, because they replace them for free.

Yeah, after literal years of pretending it wasn't a thing, they'll quietly fix it. Did they solve the underlying problem? I didn't think they did...

"Mr Grown Toddler-Elect, as you lurch from one impulse to the next, please tell us your feelings. You never have before!"

Lol "policy"

Same.

There's a reason I haven't put my dick away since then...

Messaging has always been a big problem for the Democratic Party. Unlike the GOP, they are a "big tent", so many points of view abound. There's just no comparison to the organized, disciplined, well-funded messaging of right-wing media...

I didn't have a "tantrum" when they blocked my 3rd-party app for corporate reasons... I just stopped using Reddit.

Eat shit, lobbying to make simple tax returns something you have to pay Turbo Tax, H&R Block, etc for.

The most surprising part of this is they contacted the police department who obtained a warrant and actually helped them!!!

Even this headline is spin! They fired no one, they just turned it off.

They should face The Hague for how bad Teams is. Currently I have the "option" to switch to "Classic Teams" (which needed to be a separate application because fuck-knows-why) via a toggle. When I do, it launches Classic Teams and freezes, requires another 2FA approval, or both. Then, it later closes and auto-updates to "New" Teams and I get to do the whole process again. And New 3DS Plus Teams 2024 ME+ Pro U has stupid floaty notifications that take up too much space and annoy me.

Thank you for listening...

Gross. Can we not link Fox "News" stories, please? If you have to reference them, use an archive... They have been and continue to be an active opponent of Democracy. That's not an exaggeration. They also argued in court that no reasonable *person would believe their coverage, so... free pass?

This is why people say magapublicans are weird, they're so out of touch!

Has Vance never been in a bakery before!? Quick tip: when they ask you what you want, don't reply "I mean a lot of glazed here. Some sprinkle stuff. Some of these cinnamon rolls. Just whatever makes sense."

What??

Try ordering from the menu. Or ask them what's good. Or request an assortment of the most popular kinds...

We cannot have a fair debate without dedicated fact-checkers that pause the candidates and refute the lies from Trump (sure, and Biden if he does). Anything less is just letting him continue his strategy of spewing falsehoods faster than they can be corrected.

Every billionaire is a policy failure, whether they're a company owner, dictator, or streamer; they're all needlessly hoarding wealth, harming us all. If you have more money than you could ever spend while people freeze and starve in the street, you are part of the problem and a bad person...

Make no mistake. Backward Arizona lawmakers are afraid of you. Afraid that they will be kicked out of office. And they don't have any other skills.

So don't you dare tell me voting doesn't work. It still does. For now...

Remember: him and (especially) the far-right goons want a shutdown. They know Republicans will rightly be blamed in the short-term. But they're willing to accept that, and even worse: they're willing to damage the entire country and weaken our National Security to hurt the economy while Biden is president. That's all this is! Don't let anyone ever forget...

The kind of person who is still a Trump "fan" at this point is the type who would never, ever vote for a Democrat. So I hope they stay home and don't vote...

You can sue your... customers, basically for choosing not to do business with you!?

Even if he wins a one-time payment (no way), how could this do anything but make everyone not want to advertise on Twitter??

Doesn't matter. They got their expected political result out of their false narrative at the time. Anything afterwards is a half-measure. Don't let the people in your lives watch Fox News, people! It's literal propaganda...
