That race means American democracy is fully over. I already kinda think it is, but if that race happens there's no "maybe we'll come through this," we're just done for.

That's not entirely true, all men are in the bottom left generalization. What is bad is toxic masculinity and oppressive patriarchy, "men bad" is just as problematic a generalization as the top three.

I didn't know that term either. Now that you've defined it, I'm trying to make sense of that commenter. The best I can come up with is "You're not allowed to call out Israel for murdering children because in the past they were persecuted for a wrongful claim also involving murdered children." Which is an absolute bonkers claim.

I have a strong feeling I do too, inherited from my mom (both of us self-diagnosed). I also appreciate you calling it a syndrome and not a disorder. It's only a "disorder" because society decided to only accommodate one type of circadian rhythm. Humans have needed people on night watch forever, my money is that this was an advantageous phenomenon.

This is me. I've built enough PCs both for myself and my siblings to recognize the value in hardware that's been purpose-built and tested by people I trust more than myself. Plus ongoing software and firmware updates I don't need to manage and a form factor I don't think I could match.

I have a feeling the RAM shortages are going to fuck us all over on price, which might keep me from buying one right away. But it's gonna be tempting for sure.

Agreed, taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet and giving them the best life you can is a situation that requires a firm yes from all parties. Especially with how expensive everything is these days, pets are not cheap.

Thank you for the heartfelt reply. It's definitely a bittersweet thing. My grandparents (specifically my mom's parents are who I'm referring to) are starting to have more and more health problems so it feels like the final decline is here and we just don't know how fast it is yet. So I try to spend as much time with them as I can, but the religious guilt is overbearing. It's not the first time it's been a problem with them either, my mom cut contact with them for a while when she changed to a new denomination they didn't agree with and were really mean to her about it.

Things got better for a while after we patched that relationship, but in their sunset years here they have slipped back into using religion and now politics as a weapon (one guess who they are vehement supporters of, and they can't seem to understand that we would rather just not talk politics with them). We have a much healthier and richer relationship with my dad's mom who is a much more tolerant and kind person, as are my parents who have never made me feel less a part of the family for not being religious.

Me, my wife, and my brother-in-law hid in the kitchen to avoid the family prayer that no one but my grandparents care about. My wife has never been religious in her life, my BIL is ex-Mormon, and I'm ex-Christian (generic Protestant variety). I've been an atheist for 15 years, and told my parents 14 years ago. Still can't tell the grandparents yet though, just gotta suffer through the motions until they die. My grandpa will literally make everyone repeat "amen" if not enough people said it to his liking. I hate it.

So, El? That sounds an awful lot like the Canaanite mythology that Judaism sprung from. Yahweh was just a hotheaded war & storm god in a wide pantheon headed by El.

Yeah, around me they usually use Greek labels, probably because of racism. But still owned and staffed by middle easterners. They'll have gyros with tzatziki, but also shawarma with tahini.

I have, but I can't stand the feeling of any left-in product. It's an autism sensory thing for me. Tbh I'm not even sure how well it works for me, I couldn't stand how it felt so I washed it out.

Again, fully a me problem. I know curly haired folk have products that can help but I just can't stand feeling anything in my hair.
