Friend just made a funny. I like funny, especially when it has the bonus of teaching me something new. No need to harsh on that buzz.
Instructions unclear. Now stuck on a cosmic journey.
Actually, I can't argue this. It's true, just probably not in the way Fox intended (I have no idea what they intended.)
Consider that if Mamdani holds up his promises, the old guard Democrats are going to look like the pathetic diet-Republicans that they are and always have been. If his electoral win sparks a wave farther left across the country, and the Overton Window shifts with it, then any Democrats that don't adjust with the times will be outshined by more progressive candidates.
In that way, a "Democrat" win can result in many Democrats losing. But that's a good thing, in my opinion.
The thing is, if Mamdani winning is "not good," then what would be good? Is there any "good" thing the U.S. people can do, in your opinion?
We're up against a fascist who's already been aggressively attacking his own people. We have to be practical here. Overturning the old guard has to start somewhere. Any step toward resistance is going to piss off those in power, but isn't that better than lying down and doing nothing?
Everyone else makes catsup.
You got it. I can easily assume, but I wanted to know for sure. Ingredient lists would’ve been far more helpful than Quora.
bullshit options with shit ass quora usually at the top. Who dafuq uses quora?
I wonder the same thing. I used it once, and only once, in my life. I had been trying to find vegan birthday candles and having no luck finding sources for the wax (since I was explicitly avoiding beeswax), so I asked Quora where I could find vegan candles. The answer I got?
“Don’t eat birthday candles.”
Uhhh…
Apparently whatever fool worked there had no idea that “vegan” is a lifestyle, that goes beyond food. The question was closed and I had no way to appeal or add information. Fantastic.
It’s probably easier to have faith in the American people when you aren’t surrounded by American people. Those of us who live here know better than to expect much from the brainwashed.
I've been worried about that since all these fools started talking about "banning porn."
The sites that already broke the law (by hosting illegal content) were never going to comply with age-verification laws. If the more ethical porn options are law-abiding, then these laws create a feedback loop - sites that comply suffer from reduced traffic, while sites that ignore the laws become more popular.
I have zero doubt that, right now, there are people wandering onto truly harmful and disturbing material that they never would have discovered if they hadn't been pushed to explore the fringes of the internet in search of porn.
Well, that’s a shame.
The first time I had Chipotle, I was blown away by the amount of food I got. At the time, my brother and I had a philosophy of, “You’re not full until you feel fat.” Yet the first burritos we got from Chipotle, we couldn’t even finish them - they were huge! I was astounded that for the price, we got so much.
Nowadays, it’s nothing like that. The burritos are still good, sure, but it’s sad to think about what a deal it used to be compared to what it’s become today.

I was kicked off Medicaid at the start of this year and subsequently lost access to my ADHD and depression medication. In February, I moved to a new area and got a new job, but had to wait several months until I qualified for health insurance through it.
After that point, I had to wait for a weekday when I wasn't working and when I had the mental capacity to tolerate back-to-back disappointing phone calls... all without medication that would make the process significantly easier to tolerate. These are only the calls I've made today.
Finally, FINALLY, I have an intake appointment scheduled.
It's absolutely shameful how much a struggling person is expected to do in order to access basic mental health care.
