The problem is the flock of Trump-wannabes.

Trump not only poured gasoline and lit the match, but he proved that outrage politics work. He proved that it’s ok to be blatantly dishonest, immoral, and corrupt, and there were no consequences. He proved you can ignore the Constitution and legal restrictions.

And others in his party have copied that approach, and also found it working (admittedly to a smaller extent). I don’t see this approach going away

Yeah, don’t use that huge amount of oil. I’ve never had eggs stick in my cast iron, using 1-2 tablespoons of oil or butter. It shouldn’t need to swim in oil and if it is, you’re doing something wrong

Sis anyone else watch the video? I was waiting for his”spot seasoning method” until I saw just how much oil he used to cook and egg without sticking to his wok. Dude lost all credibility right there, and I quit watching

I’ve been using the wrong bathrooms all this time. I need to start walking into women’s bathrooms, saying “it’s ok, Trump defined me as female”.

as an almost middle aged, fat woman who looks like I could safely run for a Rwpublican seat, standing on toilets

I’m kind of worried about your safety now, since public restrooms don’t generally have toilet lids. Perhaps bring a stool to safely appear to be standing on the toilet.

Probably not for a long time. There’s a lot of distance with mountains and too little population for it to be worthwhile by itself.

Hopefully once we have two segments of high speed rail, spending the money to connect the network will be an easier sale

I’m being all smug over hear just finishing one of my most healthy meals ever. I made tuna steak, roast potatoes, and spinach salad. Lots of bright colors!

I tried them last year and I have to say they brought back childhood. So many memories!

But when I tried again, they didn’t have the original style without meat. That stuff was vile even when I was a kid. You know it’s bad when chopping up cheap hot dogs to put in it are far above the “hot dogs” style

I hate when people talk about executive pay without specifying both salary and stock. After all, Elon Musk supposedly earns zero salary and zero cash bonus, but seems to be getting by

We need a National crash funding program for air conditioning. That’ll solve it. /s

There are some surprises among the best us states, or maybe I’m just not as familiar with them as I expected

It seems like you have a great opportunity for the long con here - something like the Superbowl community but for chickens

Seriously, and wipe your goddam feet on the mat or take your shoes off.

Great, I always wondered if a dog or kid hit my toolbox at some point and how it keeps smelling after decades

But why would they even need their target market to switch? They needed to also do online shopping: with their existing distribution, their existing catalog, their existing delivery or in-store pickup. They already had most of the pieces so just needed the online part to bring in new customers or keep customers from switching

Which is crazy, because pre-Amazon Sears was exactly the place that had everything, especially appliance repair and parts. They never did have computer stuff but I wouldn’t use Amazon for that either.

This is a nicely symmetric bell curve but a similar wealth distribution graph will show a miles long tail

I bet, but even I think that and I’m much shorter. Most of my life I’ve phrased it as I’m taller than average but not tall. But people seem to be shrinking faster than I am: it really seems like I’m taller than more and more people as time goes on

Yeah, there’s that too. At this point I’m old enough that only my kids report my former height and I try to stay out of it. I’m pretty sure I’m noticeably shorter. It doesn’t help that I’ve lost core muscle and have correspondingly worse posture so appear shorter

I wonder if that’s what happened to me …… I’ve been 6’2” or 6’2.5” for my entire adult life, but there was at least one time the doctors office measured me at 6’3”, maybe I had shoes on. I have to admit to using that some of the time even though it’s an outlying data point

Part of it is that my ex was exactly a foot shorter. At some point she started calling herself 5’3” so I had to continue being a foot taller than that
