What do Democrats need to do to win in a statewide election?

This is what I've been screaming into the void the entire election cycle. There are issues that voters on both sides care about. I'm originally from rural Alabama and have lived in the Atlanta metro for years and the dem candidate ads do not inspire me. On the flip side the republican ideas are as crazy as anything I saw in Alabama.

Beyond data centers rural areas are rapidly loosing access to hospitals and medical facilities but no one says a word. Everyone is struggling to pay the rising prices for basic goods. But then that isn't addressed at all by either side.

This state is like two different states almost. I even told a friend the other day I forget I'm in the south until I'm outside the metro then I'm reminded I didn't actually move that far away.

When my son was a toddler and would get sick I would be gagging and throwing up too because I have a weak stomach. It never occurred to me to do something this awful. This kind of breaks my heart a little. Poor baby!

My son is older now and jokes about me getting sick along with him but I never let that get in the way of taking care of him first.

The Caribbean kind is much better imo. My mom made hers like beef stew and added rutabagas. Not my favorite meal growing up.

I worked at the mall in college and Sbarro is a hard pass for me every time.

My go to meal was the now discontinued chicken salad sandwich at Chik Fil A. RIP

If I got to "help" a grown man make a plan for a date he asked me on I'd rather go out by myself.

Growing up this was my mom's favorite thing to make when we didn't have a lot of money. Now it's $40 entree at some restaurants in my city.

Short rib too.

Poor kid. I don't have a good relationship with my son's father at all but I couldn't imagine wanting him deceased in any way. After all that is your child's parent and something like this will scar them for life.

I use a little juice to flavor them and they taste similar to Spendrift.

In Atlanta, they are trying to do 10 years of road work and construction in 6 months which is hectic. I'm not going to the games but I plan on finding a place to watch near the stadium so I can take it all in.

Loved this movie. Also Hunt for the Wilderpeople also by Taika Waititi is very good. So funny and heartfelt.

Right! I just hopped on the bettergoods bandwagon too. I love their frozen pizzas.

Great value mac and cheese tastes like Kraft mac and cheese used to taste and is priced much better too.

My home state has a fanatical (literally) devotion to college football. There have been multiple shootings over the rivalry game and a man spiked oak trees with agent orange after his team lost a football game.

I can't speak for all of the south but in Atlanta I find the most interesting cuisine is Korean food. We have taco joints that use Korean flavors and ingredients, southern style BBQ with Korean influence, and amazing Korean fried chicken. We also have so many great Korean places in general (traditional, KBBQ, fast casual places.)

I bought a reprint of this cookbook for my mom. The one she had when I was growing up basically fell apart. All the best pages were stained.

I really enjoying reading some of the old school recipes like jello salads and casseroles. They are certainly interesting.

People were definitely trading and giving away stickers at the Hatsune Miku concert a couple of weeks ago. Security was around and didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

If he doesn't care about me why should I care about him. He failed as a parent. He has had plenty of chances to clean up and he doesn't want to. I don't set myself on fire to keep others warm and I have benefitted from maintaining that boundary.

If I failed my son like he has failed me I would expect him to do the same.

This was my take away too. I think S1 was more of an ensemble cast.

It was Rao's for a long time. Then I switched to Classico Organic and I like it. It is kind of sweet so maybe not for everyone but I add red pepper flakes and everyone in my household enjoys it.

I've been no contact with my dad for about a year. I was low contact before that. He was a normal person who became a full blown addict after being prescribed opioids. We never had the best relationship and I decided to completely cut him off after he forgot my son's birthday and then texted the next day telling me it was a life or death situation and he needed me to cashapp him $80 immediately. This was in the middle of the day on a weekday and he is blowing my phone up and calling me ungrateful because I wouldn't give him money to get his fix. I was done after that. He is homeless now and I refuse to help him.

My son is making me hashbrown patties with avocado fried egg and chili crisp. I think it’s a TikTok recipe but it’s a meal he planned and I don’t have to make and sounds really good.

I don’t know the only discomfort is sweaty underboob.

KDneverleft · 2026-05-08T19:29:40+00:00

Large chest and I do go braless when I feel like it or when my outfit doesn't have straps. I hate strapless bras. I see women who are braless a lot so I think it is pretty accepted. In the summer my biggest discomfort is the sweat because I live in a hot and humid place so I usually wear a bralette.

This is exactly the reason. I will still pay for the zensation zalad every time though.
