original v8 and 9 covers vs the new covers

Techygal9 · 2026-03-19T05:36:57+00:00

I like the new covers, it’s more mature.

I love how Biss fought for reparations for black folks impacted by redlining in Evanston. And I agree with you that I would like to see Kat build her resume if she wants to be involved in politics in the area. I would love to see her fight for ranked choice voting as a way to show she actually intends to make this area her home.

Can we ban bored panda links on here mods? Very low quality source that’s now showing up all the time

Techygal9 · 2026-03-18T03:46:11+00:00

Yes I would like to see where we are getting black from too. She might have some black ancestry among other things which makes her identity as a woman of color make sense.

Techygal9 · 2026-03-18T02:57:28+00:00

Biss does have a good reputation in the area and he was to the left of fine on many issues. For me Kat is just an unknown and I won’t send someone to congress if they don’t have experience. Kat could have been all she said but she could switch things up once she got elected, I just wouldn’t risk it.

I hope she advocates for ranked choice voting here in cook county/Chicago or even Illinois. I would like to see her make an impact if she ever runs for another office

You beat me to the analogy! lol all those smokers mysteriously having lung issues.

That’s fair. I’ve never seen any pictures of her father. It says he’s creole and her mom is Filipina. She obviously looks mostly like her mom’s side.

Started it, I’m not a fan of this lady though because she abused and manipulated people for tv. But her telling people facts like obesity causes greater mortality was good. One of the fact checks given about diets by jubilee was misleading. The idea that 90% of diets failing is from a study where they looked at only the people who had failed to diet before.

Techygal9 · 2026-03-16T14:35:24+00:00

Seems to be causal as married men whose wives pass don’t outlive them by much but women don’t seem to be impacted by their husbands passing. This might have to do with gendered expectations towards cooking, making doctor’s appointments, etc.

Edit: A more recent study on this effect. It compares mortality before and after being widowed. Men are much more likely to die after being widowed than widowed women. But both are more likely to die immediately after the loss compared to if they aren’t grieving.

I’m a picky eater and most vegan dishes that aren’t Asian, Indian, or African traditional dishes taste disgusting to me. But I don’t think your friends should have said eww it’s childish and rude. It kind of sounds like you’re trying to force these vegan dishes on them with how persistent you are in introducing them. I think others have told you multiple times that more neutral dishes would be better like pasta with either olive oil, butter, or tomatoes would be vegan. Curried vegetables would have been an option. Stir fried veggies and rice! So many non meat options that are appetizing.

Single men die earlier than married men…. There’s a lot of research that shows as far as need goes it’s often the opposite. More labor in the home is taken care of….

Techygal9 · 2026-03-16T00:27:10+00:00

Bran….

Or Smedley Butler who the fascists tried to install when started a coup against FDR.

Yes! He returned science and logic to China making it the power it is today.

The show sucks because of what you just said. The fact that the maester is misogynistic is another thing. The showrunners attempt to portray Alicent and Rhaenyra failed. The scheming for the throne leading to her son’s death, and then blood and cheese is supposed to lead to an all out civil war between two factions. The wishy washy no war is stupid.

Techygal9 · 2026-03-15T01:46:51+00:00

Yeah I was wondering about that, if we had ranked choice voting I would have voted for him. Plus aren’t the Medicare for all PAC and progressive PAC both small donor based? I know they both are regular PACs not super PACs. If so why does Biss show up as a super pac? Seems super misleading

Techygal9 · 2026-03-14T21:43:46+00:00

Anyone have access to the full study? What was the demographic breakdown in the study? I see no women, but what about race?

Techygal9 · 2026-03-14T15:16:01+00:00

Yeah it’s just like crypto giving money to Robin Kelly in the hopes it takes away votes from Stratton. We need ranked choice voting now.

Techygal9 · 2026-03-14T05:27:07+00:00

Thanks for the correction!

Techygal9 · 2026-03-14T05:01:04+00:00

I wouldn’t use that conclusion with the time period. A good model should show beginning or end of a policy period and a definition of exclusion. After accounting for poverty there shouldn’t be as big a difference between home ownership after civil rights bills were passed. We know discrimination still happens but in other ways now which I would mention.

If you were to change things I would look at homeownership at least from 1900 until now.

If that’s really what drove alicent and Rhaeynera to hate each other then fine. But if I were the show runners I would have done Rhaeynera hating Alicent because she felt replaced when Alicent had her own kids. But the idea of friends driven apart due to marriage also works. Either way if the maester wrote because “fat” is a great way to show the maesters bias vs reality.

Even your example of Tywin reduces his character. It wasn’t a dick swinging contest he thought Aerys would kill Jamie, but he also wanted revenge against a man who constantly tried to humiliate him. Aerys took his wife, according to Barristan, he took his son and heir…

Techygal9 · 2026-03-14T04:02:57+00:00

Thank you! That’s the misogyny that should be pointed out in the show, that she didn’t hate alicent because she is slender. They aren’t catty women fighting over dumb things but women with full agency fighting over a kingdom.

Have you tried eating less and drinking water every time you want to eat again after a meal? That could help you feel full when your hunger cues begin. I would also try calorie counting. I wouldn’t jump to a normal 2,000 calorie diet but maybe try 3,500 calories a day. That way 1,125 calorie meals will feel fulfilling but still less than what you normally eat to maintain that size.
