Don’t judge me.

They just need to announce an investigation into Joe Biden!

Some people don’t have $20, Richie Rich.

RIP Elana and Sonia

I wrote that Biden dropping out of the race would be a big mistake. My “I told you so” is worth about as much as yours.

Trump had a Republican majority in the House and Senate when he entered office in 2017. They were incompetent, and it took them a while to get anything done.

OP is a nurse in a hospital.

My point is they are putting up views they ascribe to the candidate. It would be better to quote a written or spoken statement.

I guess people can’t figure this out without having it reversed so they can understand it. Imagine a school district in Idaho handing out a lesson to students where they characterized the candidates’ positions thusly:

Abortion Trump: Opposed to baby-killing Harris: Allows baby-killing in most cases.

In theory the candidate supports and has a heavy influence over the party platform.

I read the headline and thought the controversy was probably stupid. Then I read the comparisons.

They should have pulled out planks from the party platforms. At least write what the party says it is going to do in its own words. It’s OK to simplify, but this list is heavily editorialized. I don’t know how much of that was from the NYT article (editorial?) and how much was the teacher’s take.

I think it would be fine to have these characterizations of each party’s policies in Speech & Debate coming from the opponents.

Came to the comments and was pleasantly surprised how well genetic drift was represented. People seem to have a much more sophisticated understanding of evolution than 30 years ago.

They could call off the war.

I had a similar situation, and even if I left out a bowl on the porch, the kids would look but keep walking. Finally figured out that some neighbors had shared a link to my Megan’s Law profile on Nextdoor.

Because the range and accuracy of the trebuchet is much better.

Wet, I can understand. But cold?

I have very mixed feelings about these videos. I want Ukraine to win, and I would celebrate their battleground victories. But it is hard to celebrate individual Russian soldier deaths. And this video is particularly graphic. Even if the colors are false.

It’s very clear to me that everyone substantially richer than me should be paying the taxes, and everyone else and I should pay no taxes.

This attitude works pretty well at all but the very highest income levels.

“a female”

Yep, that language checks out.

Refreshing to read a post about someone with friends for a change.

Out here asking the real questions…
