I’ve been doing this shit since Bush. Things have gotten worse due to bootlicker apologia and you’re in for a longer haul than 2 years.
Do your caucuses and primaries, sure. Local politics are important. But also point out the massive and consistent failings of party leadership and call for their removal. The DNC has to go. We have to have radical policies instead of tepid incrementalism.
If you try to accomplish things and fail, you by definition didn’t accomplish things. He failed to browbeat, negotiate, and ultimately legislate. He was a weak president who failed to use the bully pulpit. There are always obstructions and difficulties- his job was to overcome them. If part of the reason he failed was due to members of his own party, that’s more damning, not less. Of his leadership, and the leadership of the DNC.
It’s not leading the local softball team, it’s leading the moat powerful country in the world. We can and should expect better.
I love sumac too!
They do grow fast- sumac can give shade in a sunny spot in a single year.
The way light comea through the leaves is so soothing.
You’re completely missing the point of the trolley problem:
Do you take an action that causes a direct harm, even if it’s in service to reducing harm?
It’s a valid moral stance to decide you will not personally perform a harmful action. That’s not walking away from the trolley, that’s refusing to throw the switch.
Your framing of the situation is false. Voting for Harris is throwing the switch and dooming Palestinians. Voting third party/not voting is not throwing the switch: you are not condoning the system that runs people over, you are not taking an action that directly harms people.
To be clear, throwong the switch is also a valid moral stance.
Personally, I believe voting for Harris prolongs our faulty political system. I voted for Kerry, then Obama (first willingly, then let myself be guilted into it). The Democrats have only gotten worse with time, and I won’t vote for a party that represents me less with time instead of more.
Probably easier to just stop giving Israel weapons.
Can someone ban this homophobe already?

The first book was a Roald Dahl ripoff, and I enjoyed it for that. Everything was downhill from there.
As long as you keep them out of the sewer.
Not true. Locations can survive on commuters.

People on reddit understand that memes are supposed to be funny/clever, at least.
That decision comes years or decades after practice and learning, which people do because A) they find just noodling on the instrument fun, and/or b) they find improving their skill deeply rewarding, and/or c) they think guitar/music is just really cool.
A bad instrument can make the experience miserable, though. My first acoustic was fucking awful, just straight trash. How long does yours stay in tune?
I work at a plant that uses one of those alternative flocculants (due to our source water chemistry). Our logistics are incredibly shaky at the best of times, due to the extremely limited number of producers.
Dale/glen???
If you see other players. Probably less awkward to try to find a club.
Most bottled water comes from a municipal water system somewhere, i.e., is tap water.
Some water supplies have issues with sulfur or algae, so that can be unpleasant if your sense of smell is particularly sensitive. My sense of smell is pretty weak so I drink the tap water most places, while my spouse had an RO system installed in our house due to their sensitivity.
Supplements suck that way, sorry. I’ve found a couple brands that work for me (Nature’s Way, Horbäach), but I’m no supplement expert. I’d try to find a mid-price option that didn’t seem too sketchy.
As for nootropic stacks and whatnot: never heard of them, although they seem interesting. I personally take 2g of tyrosine along with vitamin D and a vitamin B complex (plus a couple medical rx). I would start at 500mg-1g, and add more after a week if you felt you needed to. I have taken tyrosine with omega 3s but never regularly; I didn’t notice an interaction at the time.
It’s not a fucking game, you little shit.
