Even Shake Shack, which is a good shake but still corporate fast food is like $8.

Democrats really need to just lean into the Right’s socialism accusations. Yes, Social Security and Medicare are socialism. So are fire departments and libraries. Normalize it.

Yeah, Marx would quibble that it’s supposed to describe the economy as a who but who gives a fuck.

I agree it’s a shit situation but the only solution is changing the first past the post voting system. That is slowly happening at the state level but only when Democrats get a significant enough majority to overcome both the centrists and Republicans.

The idea that there is another option besides the Democrat and the Republican candidates is an illusion in all but the smallest races (I.e. water reclamation district boar seats). Splitting the Dem vote is functionally exactly the same as a vote for the Republican candidate.

Tap the tree dots for Post Options and then tap where the arrow points in the pic I link.

I always do BLT sandwiches with avocado and leave off the lettuce. They are great any time of the day.

There isn’t a sea of progressives who usually never vote waiting for just the right candidate. Most progressives vote Democrat just to keep the Republicans out of office as the least worst option. All you will be doing is splitting the vote. This happens again and again, but every time someone thinks “my candidate is different” and makes the same mistake again.

More likely a mentally ill person than a car. In my area there are a couple guys that go around wrecking shit until they get locked up again. Tearing down flags, smashing pots, tipping over kiosks, and stomping bike tires are all pretty regular.

This splits the vote and guarantees the Republican candidate wins.

I was speaking more broadly about the constitutionality of being charged under a destruction of property statute. In a sense, deleting your data is choosing to remain silent.

The thing is, data isn’t just property. It is also speech. The right to remain silent is so fundamental to the legal system that a whole case can be thrown out if you are not reminded of this right while being arrested.

It was after the railroads had mostly been finished, so the racism took precedence. White conservatives got really scared that the Chinese would have enough population to gain significant political power. Sounds familiar?

Recipe please!

Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson.

The story follows Hiro Protagonist—a pizza delivery driver in a fractured, hyper-capitalized future reality and an elite hacker/swordfighter in the virtual “Metaverse”.

If you like that, his other books are fantastic, especially Cryptonomicon, Anathem, and Diamond Age.

If she’s helping Trump, she’s still helping the disabled.

Immigration law in the US is and has always has been racist. The first federal immigration law was called the Chinese Exclusion act for fucks sake.

If the studies were done primarily on people with sleep problems, then the reduction in pain could easily be explained by getting better rest due to the melatonin, not directly from the melatonin itself.

Gerrymandering maybe?

Or that the “death threats” are as imaginary as antifa terrorists.

If they actually enforced the Constitution and defended the laws as they swore to, they wouldn’t need security. Traitors to the people should fear the people.
