Whatever I bring. Seriously, the ex gets my kids this year. Of course I’m going for them, but:

• no alcohol
• no soda
• low sugar
• no corn anything
• very little spice of any kind
• none of my family’s traditional foods unless I bring it

While they’re making my favorite pumpkin pie, somehow it can’t have any spices this year. Just pumpkin. So bland but might as well be mayo

Have you tried not having a pre-existing condition?

To disable, I’d have to login.

I usually don’t like unsubscribing because it results in more spam. Even legitimate sites seem to sell your “verified email address”. Nowadays everything has a unique generated email so I can turn it off at will, but that was long before I started doing that

So, laziness, inertia, excuses

A lot of cryptobros claim to have gotten rich, or seem likely to be flashing their money around. If someone is throwing money around, why not be somewhere you can catch some

Are you sure it’s not the part of a car engine collecting exhaust from all cylinders into a smaller number of pipes? Because I can use my ignorance of that and play up my environmental credentials as owning an EV

If you were into guys and said that on our first date, I’d be there on our second!

I’m getting a bit tired of home automation as a hobby anyway - i don’t meet many new people inside my home. 3D printing was next on my list but then I’d have to collect WarHammer miniatures

Police are just as lazy as anyone else. While there will be a few turncoats, I’d expect them to generally go along with “you can snub a fed and do nothing”

I’m sure they are in every state, and can do enough to make headlines, continue stoking outrage. However they don’t have the manpower to actually take it seriously, or to investigate beyond what big name they want to use for propaganda

We had a brief talk where I said I like my name and wouldn’t change it. I also said that while I prefer the tradition of her changing hers, that I understood it’s not really my choice. She did anyway

I can sell you one with real floppy drives!

In my blue state, they’d have to use purely federal resources. Local law enforcement is not required to cooperate

A migrant worker is not undocumented. Many are here in a legitimate work visa and it’s heavily used in farming.

Undocumented aliens comprise several subgroups and I suppose you can say “I really meant ….”.

For example the most common illegal is a formerly legal visiting student or worker who overstays their visa. And as you said, this is an area subject to human rights violation and discrimination: an employer can treat someone as poorly as they want, when someone is subject to deportation if they lose their job

Evolved over time, but now I shop earlier to allow online shopping for most of it. Yea, I already bought my first gifts and there would be more if I have ideas …. Although I’m sure I’ll still be scrambling at the last minute.

Anyway, I’m also offended that commercial Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year - why does my grocery have more Christmas cookies than Thanksgiving? So I’m not actively shopping until then. I usually don’t get caught up in Black Friday, but that’s a good date to keep Christmas shopping from taking over

If you want the scary answer, read about climate tipping points. I don’t think we’ve really established where they might be triggered but we more likely hit them the more over we get. These are hypothesized catastrophic and irreversible changes

Yet the administration intervened to help them get what they were striking for.

There’s definitely a place for vital jobs where striking can be illegal, but the administration also made sure they were set

You might also pay attention to the other pro labor actions of this administration, including the first sitting president to stand on a picket line

For sure, I grew up in a rural conservative area. I thought i knew these people. I thought they were just like me and I could understand their perspective even when I disagreed with it. But 2016 went against everything they claimed to believe in, and they just started making less and less sense, they just started getting more toxic, more hateful and spiteful , more anti-everything and everyone. No. No I can’t.

Maybe I’m falling for the echo chamber effect also, maybe I’m falling prey to those who would keep us divided and at each others throats, but I’m finding it difficult to sympathize, difficult to even want to understand them again. Difficult to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are decent people being manipulated with base emotions. No, this is them

Some Americans are. Way too many Americans are. Feel free to disconnect. However not everyone is and there are like 380 million of us

Yes, but no.

For both myself as a kid and my kids now that I’m parent, I’ve done it several times. However it was really more family day, an open house to show where you work and who you work with. It always had activities, my company has a bounce house (that I never got to use as an employee)

It became pretty annoying as my kids grew into teens. I stopped taking them because everything was oriented to little kids, but teens could probably use some exposure to what people do at work. They’re deciding what they want to do, but with no information, while it would be so useful to actually shadow their parent. Not fun maybe, but useful

Meanwhile to me this is another piece of exasperating spam. My Steam account hasn’t been active in close to a decade but they never stop

I have one of those for camping but never actually got to trynit
