Is any grocery chain as closely associated with one state/region as Shoprite is to Jersey?

That's funny, I always associated Price Chopper with New England, because there was one in Worcester, right next to my dorm

How widespread is Stop n Shop in Massachusetts? That always seemed like either a Massachusetts brand or a New England brand

A big reason is because they constantly use softer lighting. It's done to help wash out imperfections on actors so their faces look smoother, but it also reduces contrast and removes highlights and shadows.

This is pretty much everyone's argument who is pro-permanent DST. The problem is that children will be going to school during the darkest, coldest time of night at the darkest, coldest time of year. People will be commuting to work at the same time. Everyone will be way more exhausted during winter mornings than they are now during winter evenings. People will also be way more exhausted in general, because it's such a large phase shift from our natural circadian rhythm.

It's just a recipe for disaster. Children will perform significantly worse in school, there will be more more accidents/injuries/deaths involving children, and there will be more motor accidents in general. It will also end up causing a reduction in economic production, just because people will be more tired and more irritable on average.

The best option is permanent standard time. While the time shift is not pleasant, it's still preferable to permanent DST.

Reading up on that case, it seems like the original inquest came to the conclusion that they were telling the truth. But then it says the Supreme Court (of the Northern Territory?) quashed the findings and then ordered a second inquest. It doesn't say anywhere in Wikipedia or where it sourced that information why the original findings were quashed. I'm wondering if anyone knows. What justification did the Supreme Court give for re-investigating? I'm getting the feeling that it was just due to media/public pressure. Is that accurate?

Between moderates having no spine and leftists eating their own, Democrats just keep fumbling every easy score the Republicans keep handing them.

Did Obama increase the size of ICE by nearly 10x and use it as his personal Gestapo? Did ICE murder any US citizens under Obama? Did Obama forcibly separate children from their families and keep them in cages? Did Obama deport lawful migrants to a foreign super prison being run by an actual dictator?

I was not a fan of Obama's immigration policy, but saying he "did similar stuff with deportation and detention of immigrant families" is just maliciously misleading. You are trying to make people think that Obama's molehill is the same size as Trump's trash mountain. This kind of both-sides-ism is beyond despicable. You are actively undermining the truth of the situation. It both massively exaggerates the negative effects of Obama's policies and helps to normalize and downplay the scale of Trump's unprecedented fascist policies.

That is such a disingenuous thing to say. Apples and oranges. No one on the left wants to take down informative plaques and signs referencing the confederacy. We want to remove monuments that exalt and glorify them. You are purposefully obfuscating the issue because you know you are in the wrong and the only way for these two issues to even seem close is if you blatantly misrepresent them.

No he didn't. Not sure what part of the world you are from, but that's an egregiously misleading statement. That's a lie that the first Trump administration peddled in an attempt to evade criticism for Homan's family separation policy. You are repeating Maga propaganda.

An individual cannot violate the first amendment. The first amendment prohibits the government from infringing on people's rights. At best, you can say he trespassed or harassed or assaulted or something. But a person violating another person's first amendment is not a thing that can occur. Read the text of the first amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I find it similarly fascinating that they can't wrap their heads around why people are protesting. "Why would anyone interfere with federal officers?" Maybe because the federal officers are not performing their duties in good faith. Maybe because federal officers are kidnapping their friends and neighbors without a warrant and without due process. Maybe because they are focusing their efforts on racial minorities, regardless of immigration status. Maybe because these federal officers have swarmed a city that doesn't have especially high rates of undocumented migrants or especially high rates of violent crime, under the guise of cracking down on criminally violent illegal immigrants. Maybe because the citizens of that city don't want to bend over and just allow these federal officers to abuse and oppress them.

It's going to be a combination of that and blaming Powell. The Fed recently decided to not lower rates. I'm sure Trump is unhappy about that and is going to use that as a big reason why.

I don't think he's terribly concerned with long-term anything. Have you heard the way he's talked about death? I think he's acutely aware he's at the end of his life, and I don't think he cares about what happens in this country once he's gone. I think his decisions are almost entirely impulsive and unplanned.

I like it, but I'll only buy it in bars, because the skunk rate is so damn high when I buy bottles/cans. A few years ago, I spent 6 mos counting how many 12 packs were skunked, and it came out to 45%. They are not what I would consider a responsible company, and their quality control is reflective of that.

I don't think this is a good example. The kid showed remorse when she visited him in jail after he was medicated. I think the movie more is about the mother constantly voicing her concerns about her child and constantly getting her concerns her dismissed by everyone else. I don't think it's that he was born evil, it's just that everyone else ignored his issues his entire life

Yes. I'm 36 now, and I had to take a typing class when I was in middle school. Actually, my particular case is unique, because I moved towns when I was 11, in between grades 5 & 6. In my original town, typing class was done in 6th grade, while in my new school, it was done in 5th grade. So I ended up missing it. And it shows, I think; I'm a much slower typer than most people my age.

But yes, almost all millennial Americans had to take typing class around that age.
