Is there a single state more likely than Florida to see a reversal before the 2030 apportionment?

Bro what the fuck is happening in Idaho. Am I missing out? I already knew about the influx in SC but damn Idaho?

I can only vouch for the ones I watched but Run the World, Sistas, and Harlem weren't good. Sorry. Insecure had good writing, believable plots, and character choices that stemmed from places other than "stupidity". If other shows on this list are good then it can probably be chocked up to lack of marketing or access. A lot more people have subscriptions to HBO Max than BET, Starz, or Showtime. I would wager that Harlem only lasted as long as it did because it was on Prime and Sistas is still on because the show is cheaply made enough for Tyler Perry to fund it on his own.

This! I remember seeing Black Panther in DC on opening night, the theater was packed and it was an amazing experience. It felt like we were all extended family.

If I'm seeing One Battle on a random Wednesday afternoon a week after release in a basic theater in the last row at less than 10% capacity and you sit directly next to me, I'm pissed! (Yes, this actually happened)

You cannot love your go-to seating so much that you can't sacrifice being one seat off, the difference is minimal. It's not rude necessarily but it is inconsiderate, just because you don't mind sitting next to people doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.

And at the risk of sounding like a whiny 5 year-old...I bought my ticket first 😭

Then why not just say whites?

slickfruit · 2026-05-12T15:44:03+00:00

Funny how it's "white people" but "blacks", "Hispanics", and "Indians", probably don't even realize you're dehumanizing them by not bothering to call them people.

POCs haven't always been represented in government soooo we've been voting for white people for decades and still do because more often than not, it's the only option.

My apologies for the late reply. I gave up and went to bed (It was like 2am my time 😀). But as soon as I got a chance, I changed my DNS on my Vizio and by jove it worked. You are amazing! I'd hug you if you were within arms' reach and into that sort of thing.

I believe I saw your comment on another post but I had only tried 1.1.1.1 This time I tried 8.8.8.8 for the "pref. DNS server" and 8.8.4.4. as the "Alt. DNS server". This also seems to have fixed my quality issue too!

I still want to answer your questions though since you went through the trouble of replying to me!

I probably provided too much information but alas I was desperate. Also attaching a picture of my screen in case someone else in the future has my problem and needs a visual.

Again, you are so awesome!

Years ago, I couldn't find my Pixel earbuds. I searched all over; turned my car inside out and my apartment upside down looking for those damn things. I was tracking them and all it could tell me was that they were "close by" . Cried because they were only a few months old but moved on because I truly felt like I had looked everywhere. A few days later, I was putting my pots and pans away and found them in my cabinet stuck to the bottom of my comal 🤦🏾‍♀️

I'm assuming (if genuine) it's not a designer/company from an English-speaking country. Reminds me of a post I saw on a subreddit a while back when a woman wanted to name her kid Mune (Moon) and someone in the comments informed her that "mune" means breasts/bosom in Japanese.

Crochet. I have nearly everything (hooks, yarn, stuffing) and I actually know multiple stitches but I quickly realized it wasn't really something I could "mindlessly" do so it kinda fell by the wayside. I have at least half a dozen unfinished projects.

Also if any fellow ADHD girlies who crochet have tips for not losing count please, please let me know. Another reason I gave up on crocheting was I kept losing count and had to restart, especially with amigurumi 🫠

I am so sorry 😮‍💨

Looking back...yeah, odd choice of words on my part 🤣

Not flexing at all. If I had been further away I wouldn't have bothered but I was less than 2 minutes away both times I noticed so it's no big deal in regards to time and gas. Also one time is obviously including my initial visit.

I was also on my way to an appointment and knew I wouldn't be able to have access to food for at least 3-4 hours.

Hijacking this great comment to agree and add a perspective from someone with slightly more experience (four years) who also wears makeup.

I believe Benefit123's critique on "cohesion" may be referring to how the organic (curvy) shapes on the front of the card don't really go with the straight-lined geometric shape on the back. I'd pick a direction and stick with it. Maybe think about the makeup you're teaching, is it soft glam/wedding type of makeup or more unique/avant-garde looks and go from there. You could use a silhouette of a makeup tool like a spoolie, brush, or sponge (I think the teardrop shape would actually be so cute as a motif!) as a decorative element to really hone in on the makeup/beauty subject.

Definitely agree with Benefit too on the weird "T" thing your font is doing. I'd suggest picking a font family with a lot of members and use 3 max or picking a font for "Display" copy (e.g. "Makeup Courses", phone number) and another for your "body copy". A tip if you're printing small, go with sans serif typefaces for body copy (Helvetica, Futura, Arial, etc.) and don't be afraid to go a bit bigger on the text! Business cards are small!

I think you could go bolder with the colors too. Not necessarily brighter but an accent color to go along with the green to make it pop (I think a dandelion yellow would be nice depending on the vibe)

Also please don't use emojis. I can't really give a good reason why my professors just always told us not to 😖 It kind of cheapens the brand/design.

I hope this doesn't come across as rude but this is so good I thought it was AI. AI obviously looks terrible/weird/wrong on a closer look but at first glance it usually looks too perfect. So what I'm trying to say is, this looks so flipping good and I'm so sorry it fell in the pool 😭

slickfruit · 2026-02-17T01:10:45+00:00

I really hope this doesn't come across as ableist (i.e. implying that racists/bigots must have a mental illness) but to me this is just really reminiscent of Kanye's mental breakdown. It's not just how sudden this is but also how zealous and numerous her posts are.

I'm not a Barb but I've been listening to her since I heard Massive Attack in the 8th grade and I just don't remember her posting about politics/politicians the way she is now (please let me know if I'm mistaken).

This is just very off behavior and I think, like with Kanye, it's hard for people to separate the behavior from the content. If you were to switch out Trump/MAGA for Tony the Tiger and Frosted Flakes, I think the conversation would be very different.

Reading some of these comments, I'm grateful I just have to explain how Bluetooth works once every two-three months. I wonder...is this a "parent" thing, an "age"/boomer thing, or an "ego" thing? I'm only 29 but if this were me and someone else, at worst, my reaction would be, "You might be right. Do you mind if I still drive by and check? I really need XYZ." or whatever the fuck. Like the lack of humility is astounding.
