Don't forget about Ohio, where our own state supreme court decided our map was unconstitutional 5 times in a row and then just sorta gave up.

Fact: there are double the number of people in the country after than there were before.

Fact: social status tends to have generational inertia.

Specious: "misleading in appearance, especially misleadingly attractive."

It's absolutely specious, because you're somehow suggesting those policies failed because the absolute number of individuals went up, disregarding the fact that had those policies not been in place, the number would've been double what it is.

And I said at best, because it's far more likely you're just trolling. But, giving you the benefit of the doubt, let's work through this.

If a family in poverty that's 2 people, has 3 children, that's now 5 people.

If this is the only family that exists, 100% of people are in poverty. If one of those children winds up getting out of poverty, you've gone from 2 people in poverty, to 4 people in poverty. However, you've gone from 100% poverty to 80% poverty.

And you're saying that's a failure.

And yet the percentage of the population that lives in poverty has dropped by more than half.

Funny how that works.

I bought a set of these and they're good, but they're way more liquid than Huy Fong's which makes them more annoying to use for me. The Carolina Gold they sell is absolutely amazing though.

This, definitely. Reddit's always had an "Other Discussions" button in posts, and I've actually found a lot of good small subs over time from clicking through and reading comments in other subreddits.

Wait, what book is this an adaptation of? This isn't from either Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or The Great Glass Elevator as far as I'm aware.

One of Dubya's biggest selling points was that he was "someone you could have a beer with".

So no, the people that vote for those kinds of people don't want someone smarter than themselves. They want someone like themselves.

That was actually a part of Hilary's trouble too: people just didn't like her on a personality level, so they didn't vote for her.

Yeah, that's about right. They're wickedly expensive. Definitely worth it though. You can often find them second hand or refurbished for a lot less.

The brand is just "Steelcase". The Gesture is a specific model of chair. And I agree with everyone else here: after switching from el cheapo chair to my Gesture, my back pain (from sitting) completely went away.

Ah, damn. Should've figured it was too good to be true if she was posting it.

For what it's worth, LibsOfTikTok's already getting slapped by Threads's moderation.

While I agree, and use Obsidian.md myself, it's worth bearing in mind that Obsidian is also closed source and could pull the same shenanigans.
