"I got mine" by Chuck Schumer was going to be a hit too. Maybe he'll tour when his follow-up "The Art of Rolling Over" releases.

Unfortunately I developed a Romulan Ale addiction when I was only 12. To this day I'm very adversarial and distrustful of the Federation and its principles.

We spend around $200/week for 3 people and cook every meal. Comes to about $3/meal/person. Pretty much just some meat, beans, pasta, veggies, fruit and my kid's snacks.

Who's going to stop me. The government agency that was just decimated. I stopped paying taxes too.

LPT: it's almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.

I'd rather have people migrate over organically. I think Reddit was spoiled for me when it went from a niche collection of interesting people and topics to Facebook in a forum format. Almost anytime I go on r/all now i couldn't tell if the posts were recent or bot reposts from 5 years ago. The smaller subreddits still keep the spirit of the place going but the general community is just another social network.

I do like these bars but breaking it into pieces without a mess is difficult. I've had to resort to putting the entire thing in my mouth and waiting for it to melt down my throat.

The text is phishing and not an actual poll like people have suggested.

I did have an actual pollster come to my door the other day. I forget the organization but it was a political pollster and not a neutral one. Parties do their own polling too. Never asked my name or personal contact info. Just basic demographics: age, salary, children, etc. Then it was just who am I voting for in the different races, what I thought about their policy (favorable/unfavorable).

Then the last question was what was my most important issue for this election. 20 years ago I would have said net neutrality or the war in Iraq. In my older age I am more concerned with services for lower income people. You used to be able to fail and still find work and catch up. Now it just takes losing a job at the wrong time or an injury and you can easily become homeless. There is not the buffer their used to be, finding a temporary room rental for $300/no or less doesn't exist. So I told them "increase funding for low income services" and that guy looked confused and had to type it in. I would guess almost everyone is answering inflation, war, or border crossings. I was just thinking of something that could do a lot of good tomorrow with less money than the wealth of our richest person.
