I just removed 2 from my fridge! I had to suspend their ripening overnight because they still contained the perfect amount of green. 

When my dad walked among us, he used to longingly examine produce in the grocery store and say things like “you’re looking good and coming home with me tonight!”

It sure did! Yes you’re correct but she did specifically call him out for his part in the IDC (or at least passive support via public ambivalence).

Layers are less of an issue than the ability to type with frozen digits. It’s also not healthy to subject your body from one extreme to another, and heavy AC is the source of my summer colds.

I thought the same way a few months ago, but her ability to develop in real time as a response to voter feedback has changed my mind.

They need to relaunch Curse of the Colonel!

Weirdly enough my IG ads aren’t totally horrible, and I’ve discovered about 3 apparel brands previously unknown to me. That said I avoid “wellness/fitness/natural/diet” shit clicks on all platforms so I’m sure that helps curate my retail pitches.

in part because it might touch on the assumption by some people that sex is more a reward for the man

I would actually be ok with the Danish system, because it would still leave me with enough to continue with my current lifestyle (and a bit less stress about retirement). I understand how others might not be convinced, but I wish Americans at least had the option to pay more in taxes and benefit from a decent safety…

Capitalism feeds on the first part of your statement.

I think some wouldn’t even see it as manipulation, but rather representation of their interests. For instance, say we have implemented a national universal health system of some kind in the future: how do we determine the range of included services? Are people going to demand coverage for homeopathy sessions and other…

This is a very useful discussion, and reminds me of the Friends episode in which Phoebe and Joey debate whether or not a truly selfless good deed exists (not being facetious).

Regarding your point about smaller societies, I’m still baffled at how anyone can realistically think a country with the size and polarity of the US can agree enough to successfully proceed in any specific direction. 

Warren (as I assume all of us here do as well) wants everyone to have nice things under a robust safety net. She also wants to ensure we can pay for the nice things, and carefully monitored and controlled capitalism is a great way to accomplish this end.

The assumption the bulk of the candidates have a shitload of friends with upcoming weddings is also subtly ageist (and basic!).

In my experience, non-profits in general tend to be fucked (mismanaged expectations), which is why I refuse to work for one.

Lol @ a Senator from KY trying to defund PP. I lived in a small city in the Western part of this state during my high school years, and at that time it placed 3rd in the nation for ratio of teen pregnancies to overall population.

I blame The Cove for the inevitable comments you see on Japanese natural disaster news stories made by dreadlocked white hippies along the lines of “KARMA 4 WHALES!”

A friend of mine owns a small production company, and her team comprises mostly POC. They have been working with a lot of local progressive campaigns, but have found that there is an expectation their labor and resources should mostly be free, and the campaigns are pressuring for work exceeding what they agreed to…

I didn’t pay attention to their relationship until I found out he had been dating Cazzie David immediately before Grande. Then I saw an interview in which Davidson mentioned some schlub coming up to him saying something like “you give all of us guys hope” or some shit. WTF. So he left a smart, hilarious, and yes very…
