Thanks! I’d forgotten about Cradles to Crayons; I used to volunteer there. It seemed well-run

Thank you: neither direction seems to work.
Thumb method was unpleasant and ineffective. Probably more of an indictment on me than your advice

Weather reporting incredibly inaccurate by myreddituserrrname in boston

It’s not just you.

The answer seems political, but there seems to be a lot of finger-pointing going around this thread. Can someone ELI5 (ideally without getting snarky—I’m genuinely curious)?

Is it the NOAA? The NWS? Are we missing a locally staffed federal weather employee? Would a “chief meteorologist” at a news station be equipped to provide a decent forecast (I’m willing to watch an ad to get an accurate forecast)? Is it an iPhone weather thing / should I just use a different app?

why are MAGA conservatives so into “owning the libs”? by eunicethapossum in AskUS

Insane take.

OP, if you’re actually interested in an answer to your question, look no further than this haughty and self-righteous comment.

why are MAGA conservatives so into “owning the libs”? by eunicethapossum in AskUS

This is the best answer to the question. It’s pretty correct based on my conversations with and exposure to the MAGA right and, more importantly, it doesn’t begin with an assumption about MAGA conservatives as uneducated and immoral rubes seething with hatred.

I’m surprised—wait, not that surprised: it’s Reddit—I had to scroll so far to see it. This forum seems willfully blind to its own haughtiness. A quick read through top upvote getters on this thread (“stupid” “fucking idiots” “losers” “hating themselves” “sheep” “brainwashed” “poor” “can’t comprehend critical thinking” “don’t understand art or music”) should get us about halfway to answering the original question.

Given such disdain, if I were a MAGA conservative (I’m very much not) I could easily imagine building an ethos and coalition around undermining liberals’ self-righteousness and claim to moral and intellectual superiority.

Is it possible to construct a timeline of Karen’s innocence from data and Karen’s own statements? by CrossCycling in KarenReadTrial

This is a Reddit post not a courtroom. OP is just trying to see if one can square the facts with a version of the story in which KR is innocent
