“This is where the government can and should step in.”

I think about Al Gore’s lockbox a lot. We’re 20 years out and Congress has done fucking nothing!

“I think what’s bothering us (all) is that running simple errands feels more and more overwhelming as this pandemic stretches on, not that picking up the packets is a big ask.”

2020 is truly wild.

It’s fucking amazing to me that Doug Collins (!) may somehow be better? And by better, I mean less fucking terrible by like one inch.

“I imagine it’s a similar thing for UGA.”

Governor Brian Kemp was a member of this chapter. So, yeah.

I love Yoga with Adriene and now I love her even more.

I’m supposed to be in the middle-east right now BUT YEAH, I am not about to quarantine for two weeks once I get there. I currently live in a US hot spot so I should probably just never leave my house.

Sounds like getting wisdom teeth removed. I wish my parents had them pulled when I was younger instead of me waiting until I was over 30. :/

Yeah, on my left side, my tonsil shrank and is non-existent. My right tonsil is like HELLO, here’s a stone about twice a year. But they’ve been easy to deal with. I get a tiny sore throat on one side, pop it out, and it’s over.

omg. I’m nearly 40 and I only get them on one side but I’ve read enough to know that I would rather pop them out every 6 months than get my one tonsil removed. But really ... it was worth it???

At least you received your absentee ballot! I live in Fulton and never got mine. So I ended up early voting on the Friday before the election because I didn’t trust that it would get to me in time. While I was standing in line, a poll worker was like “if you requested an absentee ballot and didn’t receive one, you…

Yessss. Cherry frosted is the best.

Georgia. (Yes, this probably explains a lot.) Judges can only dismiss criminal charges if they’re not indicted correctly - demurrers - but that’s basically making sure the elements are in the indictment which isn’t a hard thing to do. Hell, when a prosecutor moves to dismiss (nol pros) a charge, the court has to…

“I’m not sure what your point is exactly, but one thing I’ll note is that judges can absolutely toss out charges.”

Here’s the thing about prosecutors: defense attorneys and judges alone cannot change the system. In many states, DAs are solely responsible for the charges so they’ll overcharge as a plea tool. The judges cannot toss these charges out and if you’re the defense attorney / defendant, you have to a risk a jury trial with…

Megan: I cackled when I saw the Dansko shoe and the headline. You sound like my mom (and an orthopedist) who told me I need to stop wearing ballet flats because my arches are too high! I do own one pair of Danskos but not the clog!!

No shit. I would quit working for way less than that.

Thank you, The Dave!, for this lovely and well-thought out comment.
