I strongly disagree on one key point:

no one can really feel a 1F difference

Yes I can. Changing my thermostat by a single degree can be very impactful on my comfort. And on the “too warm side” each additional degree is noticeably less comfortable.

Days with highs of 68F, 69F, and 70F and comparable humidity all feel different to me. Sure, there are more factors at play but holding the rest equal, 1F differences are noticeable.

I’m OOTL, can anyone explain what the “manipulative procedural maneuver” is? I’m seeing some stuff about a vacancy requiring an election (Kentucky disallowed governor appointments), is it fear the seat will go Democratic?

Lmfao, nah. You know you were wrong and seem to think you can just say “read it again” rather than explain yourself. I already explained how what you said was irrelevant, it’s your turn.

I don’t care about the socks. I was just pointing out that you based your disagreement at least in part on dressing up when OP said casual wear. And then for some reason I can’t understand you doubled down on it and told me I was wrong about the words you wrote that are still right there. So I broke down my understanding of your very straightforward sentence.

I just did. Mind clarifying?

I would challenge your assumption

Indicates you think OP is wrong

White socks are not the norm in the US

A characterization that does not match my experience as an American

especially when you’re wearing something with visible socks

Not relevant to my comment, but still not true in my American experience

or are dressing up

Completely irrelevant to the OP talking about casual wear.

The OP specified casual wear and you’re telling them they’re wrong because of how people dress up?

For general casual wear, white socks are pretty normal.

Womp, go feel the refreshingly crisp air of winter and you’ll feel better.

See how unhelpful your comment was? People are allowed to have different preferences.

“Drain the swamp” just got even funnier

Maybe cool off a bit? That person isn’t even using a standard acronym as far as I know, I’m American and I can’t recall ever seeing the Electoral College abbreviated as EC.

That being said, while I get your point about Americans in general assuming people online understand America-centric terms, a forum discussing US politics is the one place where that assumption isn’t out of place.

And the Dems will happily sell out to corporate donors to act in their interest while unashamedly lying to voters, and when caught out rely on the tried and true “what are you gonna do, vote Republican?”

This is not “both sides same,” this is controlled opposition while the elite siphon everything they can from all of us.

Looks like the restaurant in the Space Needle (Seattle). Casual clothes in fine dining is common here.

Wait, are you able to wake it with your Steam Controller? I haven’t been able to. I’m not on the beta OS though, I was having too many issues with some games on it.

Just wake from Bluetooth. Which is honestly crazy they didn’t include it to begin with.

Lol, you revived a months old discussion to triple down on an unambiguous error and call me a pedant. I don’t want to go to any parties you’re involved in.

You used an adjective that describes a pattern that isn’t on your cat. That’s not a minor detail of your post. You’re the one trying, and failing, to be a pedant.

Lol, months later. You posted to a cat community, don’t get upset when people call you out on using cat terms incorrectly. The better response is to learn and not repeat the mistake. Calling it petty pedantry is absurd.

Tortoiseshell in the context of cats has a specific meaning. if you don’t care to learn what that meaning is, it’s easy to just not use the term.

Let people celebrate a win.

The Democratic Party has shown time and time again that they are willing to vote in line with the people if and only if their vote doesn’t change the outcome.

I’ll believe their votes on Israel mean anything when their votes – well – mean anything for the result.

It was safe to vote in order to appease the voters without actually doing anything because they knew the Republicans would shut it down.

If the vote were closer and couldn’t survive Democratic unanimity, just enough of the rotating selection would oppose it to keep it from passing while the rest saved face.

But was causality established? That’s a very difficult thing to do. I’d like to read the paper if you can find it.

Because it’s just as plausible that people predisposed to think critically are more likely to both go to college and move left politically in early adulthood.
