While I can kinda understand wanting a sunny day off, one of my favorite things every is a Sunday afternoon thunderstorm. I despise those storms during a workday (I work outside).

And that bedroom, might as well be a studio with a walk-in closet

Hate to say it, but protests and marches do jack shit these days in terms of pressuring our leaders.

Sure have. The SCOTUS takes up cases from the US Circuit Courts of Appeals. Appellate courts certainly serve their purpose, as district courts can and do get decisions wrong. But, the SCOTUS needs to be balanced enough to where one political viewpoint doesn't dominate their decisions and subsequent precedents.

True transparency would essentially boil down to, "fuck you, because we can, that's why."

The SCOTUS is necessary in a functioning system of checks and balances on power amongst the three branches of the federal government. The problem we have now is a court stacked with looney judges subverting the will of the people. We need a more effective means of maintaining balance in the court.

Many municipalities and regions use wastewater analysis to determine infections disease rates and concentrations. It's the same way authorities fear a rise in polio in Gaza, they've detected it in increasing levels in sewage.

Rivian is also firmly planted in the luxury segment, with prices to match their clientele. We need manufacturer(s) to make EVs for us common folk in a price range we can actually afford.

It was also when we had no clue how Trump would handle the presidency, and Americans were tired of the same repeated political lip service politicians have been spewing for decades. Hillary was the symbolic epitome of the establishment many Americans were and are sick of. Though now that we know with examples what an unhinged lunatic Trump is, Harris might have a better shot as long as she presents sanity and competence while gracefully waving away Trump's looney nonsense.

I'll identify as a 1999 Ford Focus if I feel like it, but that doesn't really reflect reality

I feel like I recall him quietly giggling at his own lame "jokes" mid speech

"You may not want it now, but you'll want it tomorrow. We'll help you make this decision for you."

There's always a possibility that they had your hours in last quarter's budget, but had their new quarter's budget slashed due to low sales, and they're too chickenshit to tell you. Or, they were set to lose an employee and, for whatever reason, didn't.

Either way, I'd just find something else. Obviously they don't give a rats ass about your time and need for money, so fuck em.

Biden endorsed her this morning in his announcement to end his reelection bid, so we'll see.

They'll listen to their wealthiest donors before the rest of us.
