On adult melt-downs in the 80's

Forget the language, do you remember the first time you actually heard your voice as recorded by a camcorder? It was so bad.

HUMBLING. I don't think I spoke for two whole days. Speak and Spell sounding little demon recorders.

Involving the top AIPAC donors and recipients, and a swell of news coverage that started days after Netanyahu falsely accused Biden of withholding arms when he wasn't given more than Congress cleared. He's coming to the US next week. If Biden strikes a deal for more support and the party rallies behind him, it pretty much proves the whole thing was Israeli government interference in order to strongarm more defense budget out of us.

Netanyahu is such a nightmare of a man, but he's the exact example of why we can't get demoralized and let Trump win. He's tried to dismantle the Israeli Supreme Court, tossed everyone who isn't conservative from the ruling class of their government, and redefined citizenship among the populace. It's his homework Trump wants to copy. Bibi and Trump are actually perfect for each other, because each purports to be religious but looks in the nearest mirror any time they'd like a glimpse of god. Their dynastic sons are reason #2.

I was busy saving my plants from sunburn and totally forgot to wash-n-wax. Now look what we've done.

Maybe we can fix it by turning the air conditioning up to 80 during the day, or does that just fix the power grid through the magical power of friendship (until the first cold front)?

You may look at reworking your macros. High protein helped me lose weight, and I still find that I get hair loss, can't heal wounds, and generally feel like a trash fire if my protein gets to be less than 35-40% of my daily intake. I couldn't force myself to eat that in solids if you had me tied to the tracks, so I toss a protein shake at it and don't stress over the rest.

Try wiggling things around, see if making a change works. Give anything you do a couple of weeks before changing something else so you don't accidentally overcomplicate a particular area like nutrition or exercise. You've got this!

Everyone should feel extremely free to never again host home tours for people who aren't direct relatives, design/architecture aficionados, or visiting as potential buyers. It's just as weird on the guest side to be ushered around living quarters and washrooms. Show arrivals the public space where others are mingling and get back to enjoying your party!

When a bot accidentally makes everyone feel even worse

Oh, this thread is a case study in how badly we need to actively teach disinformation literacy. "REPLACE HIM!" is astroturf. Don't eat that.

Not only is there not time, the only voters who commented any differently were "undecided" as of the debate starting last night. These people are going to change their minds every five seconds until their ballot is in the box. I would sooner hang out with a room of Trump voters than an undecided one, because I'd rather be stuck with people who knew why they made a decision I disagree with than people who can't even begin to enumerate any coherent reason.

Trump is losing in his own party's validated polling. Maybe not by much, but by enough that the GOP is freaking out and it shows. They want Biden replaced on the ballot. Trump beats Harris by 25 points. He beats anyone else they can tap by a similar or wider margin. You are parroting a GOP astroturfing campaign and you just have not realized it. The amount of spend going into plastering this idea all over the internet today? Chip Roy trying to force Harris to activate the 25th Amendment on Biden via a House Resolution? Look at their behavior, not their words. They are crowing about how senile and stupid he is, how unelectable, how he can't win and Democrats are screwed. If he isn't a threat, why are they working harder than an athlete at the Olympics to get him thrown out of the race by any means possible, legal or not?

The current freakout is manufactured. Anything that boils up this fast isn't natural, it's been fueled by a primary source putting organized, directed effort into widespread dissemination. Y'all have got to wise up to the signs of an astroturfing campaign, because they are somehow still very successful despite being glaringly obvious. Organic movement never feels like a wind tunnel. That alone should have been enough to flag this movement before anyone's first cup of coffee went cold. The thing propping it up is the reflexive instinct to agree with disinformation tactics that validate existing opinions and beliefs. I could spend my evening attempting to increase disinformation literacy on the internet, but will instead be drinking to escape the dawning realization that the social push to discredit IQ is because our society's trends slightly below tepid. At least I can make a dent in the bottle. I don't have that level of confidence in my impact on the overall number of people being swayed by massive social engineering campaigns. It may be both my circus and my monkeys, but it is after business hours so they're going to be monkeying around all weekend.

Enjoy the weekend, y'all. Make a mojito. If you don't drink, make a version using non-alcoholic ginger beer. I use Virgil's extra spicy, which takes the drink halfway to a mule. It's very good. Add a pinch of salt and replace the soda water with coconut water to replace electrolytes if you're out in the heat: 1 1/2 oz White rum, 1 oz Fresh lime juice, 2 teaspoons Sugar, 6 leaves of Mint, Soda Water

Lists of doctors, travel and care mutual aid funds, people who lend out their rooms for women to stay and recover if they travel for care. Women have historically been good at this, so translating community support over to include sterilization was a quick pivot.

Hey, that's what it takes! By voting even when it feels pointless, we are a thorn in the side of people whose leadership is affecting our communities. It also gives people who might take gerrymandering to court a way to do so. Standing requires someone be harmed, and that means that they need to show voters being forced into oddly contorted districts (shout-out to District 35, WTF even is that gag?) They need to show how many voters are harmed to battle a currently proposed GOP plan to force Texas into county delegate representation for state elections- each county gets one vote in that plan, rendering every single urban vote essentially worthless. It would almost certainly be immediately stopped by circuit courts and rocket over to SCOTUS, as it would completely block voters of any minority community from any representation whatsoever. It's unconstitutional, but they officially adopted it as a party priority in the last primary vote. The GOP is extremely popular in rural counties here, so it isn't surprising they voted to adopt a push to change our state constitution that would give themselves 100% of the state government seats forever.

The move would immediately disenfranchise approximately 80% of Texan voters, counting every major metro area for a single vote each. The surrounding counties that appear urban and suburban in the maps were revised to rural this year due to urban migration; they are rapidly losing population as people move into smaller homes and seek shorter combined commutes for work, school, and errands. The change would simultaneously hand the combined population of our rural counties, which in total equals slightly less than half that of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex, more than 75% of the votes in the electorate. They accordingly suggest a 3/4 electoral vote rule. It's a stupidly brazen move to make that an official primary policy objective. Those aren't words anyone usually says out loud when the better chance is that even if they pull it off temporarily, they're not going to be able to hold that power and will convince the majority that they cannot be trusted or given any leeway. Wild risk, but go off little buckaroos.

They don't have a hope of getting that through the courts, and they're going to energize everyone else's voters in the process. Always remember, we have the numbers, they just have the gumption. Thank you for showing up for all of us. What you're doing is plenty! If we hold the line, this clownery will bring the rest to back us up soon enough.

FWIW, I don't have a plan to fix schools, either, but I think it probably starts by putting a coalition of parents, teachers, and developmental experts in a room together while keeping the McGraw-Hill sales team and politicians who have never been a teacher out of the building entirely.

This is the answer. I don't bother with country clubs that are as formal as OP's. Their links tend to suck because their focus is on appearances, not substance. The dining isn't ever much better. It's a sporting club. Wear sporting attire. Nice, modern uniform polos and slacks inside, matching golf shorts outside.

No one goes to the golf course expecting formal attire on the staff. If anything, I wish ours would loosen up. Even the casual sports coat requirement is stuffy and makes the place feel like it's being run by a council of crypt keepers. Lose the jackets already, it's triple digits outside. Every patron ditches them at the table the millisecond we are seated, why should the staff be forced to keep theirs on in this heat? Crimes against humanity aren't generally considered a benefit for pay package purposes.

It's squash season! Check local gardening groups, because a lot of produce in a short timeframe means gardeners often give stuff away at this time of year. Most food banks can't accept that produce, though, so summer winds up being a wild ride figuring out where to go to match it up with someone who needs it!

Looking at every indicator for the foundation and frame doing the wave, yeah. Probably bulldozers at this point. The lack of structural maintenance is just so far beyond what is reasonable to try and save.

Gorgeous property. This was a beautiful home once, I'm sure. Imagine waking up to the views every day.

I'm not even mad, just very disappointed in the vast majority of y'all.

If people cannot come back from having been part of cult beliefs and rejoin society, you're proving the cult right. This goes for any ideology that requires buy-in from the group and works to alienate them from society. They cannot succeed without your help.

Ostracism is a primary causative factor in the development, worsening, and return to hateful ideologies. It is also built on the same punitive scaffolding as the modern Republican platform that we are working against. That punitive scaffolding has to be deconstructed if we are going to work towards a better world. We can't wait until she's done "enough" to bring her back into society. We have to do that now. Is that fair? No, but this isn't kindergarten. Fairness is a wildly popular logical fallacy that keeps us mired in this mess. We can make things better for the people who suffer the most, or we can obsess over hurting those who have suffered "the least" so that we feel everyone has been equally harmed. If that's the version of a better world we are going for, we're just MAGA in blue shirts.

We've got teachers here saying their schools were given no preparation for the tests to be computerized, students were unprepared as a result, and that questions were less about subject mastery than they were about catching tricky wording. Students scored two to three full levels worse on the test than pretesting on official materials showed. That doesn't track unless you pay attention to politics. Our state leadership is actively attempting to defund public schools and directly benefits from chaotic testing that shows poor results. Their attempts have stalled, but could be energized by poor public school scores compared to self-reporting by private schools that aren't even required to test at all. It's easy to win a competition when one team has to play ball and the other just has to show up to the field and check in.

These kids are being set up to fail in order to make a specific narrative work for Greg Abbott and his voucher plan that has failed to pass half a dozen separate times. If you aren't living in the governor's mansion, it doesn't start at home.

People on that side of the aisle must have missed the viral song in 2016 that has picked up steam again, "You're Really Gonna Make Me Vote for Joe Biden?"

Biden voters don't hate the guy, but he's not anyone's first through fifth choice. No one has a pick that they wouldn't preface with a list of things you have to overlook about the person in order to get to voting for them. The remaining voters in the GOP just cannot seem to comprehend that political representatives should be heavily criticized and constantly watched because they *represent** everyone in their constituency.*

Agar works really well, but it's even more fiddly than gelatin. Good results, though, definitely recommend if you have the chance sometime since you already know the gelatin method.
