That’s good, when I flew to PHX for work earlier this year I specifically choose another airline even though they didn’t have points just to avoid that. Probably a good move for them

Yeah, they were always great for me, likely do to shitty practices, but when it’s a 17 hour drive home, and it only costs $42 for a ticket. I can get their cheaply easily. Not enough room, throw in another 40 and have a bigger seat up front that’s reserved and not have to deal with that southwest BS of random seats. You can pay more, but I haven’t needed to pay over $70 for sa ticket traveling the short distances I need to go in the past 5-7 years.

For those not from around here my trip distance would be a little farther than London to Berlin.

11 days later and still counting, jeez. There as to be better ways to do that.

Nope I’m going to call you the expert that told me that all foods slow cooker are now worse for me. Kidding. But thanks for the thought, someday maybe I’ll look more into whether breaking down food so they are easier to eat and having weaker jaws would be bad long term. I would have figured not having hard foods would be better for your teeth though, maybe it is worse for your gums not needing to be as sturdy over time? Thoughts for food I suppose.

“Body doesn’t work as hard to process it”, would this in theory mean that more tender foods would be less work to break down, so a crock pot would actually be a poor method to cook your food long term?

Not an insult really, but always like the saying

“it’s louder than 2 skeletons fucking in a tin roof in here”

Points if it comes from unexpected sources.

I understand the corn syrup and additives causing weight gain but can someone please explain to me how putting food in a blender would make it worse for you? Ultra processed - what does it even mean. Reshaping food doesn’t make it have more sugar/carbs and what not. Just the shit added to it does right?

For example, what makes ground beef not considered ultra processed? If someone puts other things into it, it can get worse for you, but is eating ground sirloin really any worse for you than non-ground sirloin, I can’t see how it could be.

“Big voter turnout” to me would still be wrong.
155+ million voters in 2020

Population increases by roughly 6 million

Less than 150 million voters in 2024.

If we consider decreasing voter turnout high turnout, sure, it was high. That said, yes some voters likely swayed, but I’d like 80-90% voter turnout to be considered high, but we never get that.

So he claims it a "consensual sexual encounter’ And he paid her for it. Must be a loophole to the whole prostitution thing

What part is good? That he vowed to force ownership into U.S. hands for security reasons, or that now he vowed to stop himself?

I’m not saying to force everyone to vote. But if mandatory voting was a thing I’d say put a new candidates opinion in, and if it gets over 50% of the popular vote, all new candidates required would be an interesting change. Probably has holes, but what the hell, I’ll try anything rather than this 2 party money fueled government we have now

Guessing they meant as a violation of the Logan act. As he is not in office he isn’t supposed to be negotiating with foreign governments. The U.S. is providing military aid, and in truth not that he cares, but he isn’t up to date on U.S. Intel. Maybe they’ll tell us it was another law though

I’m waiting for the I started enacting this bill that hasn’t even gone through the legislature yet, with the claims of “I needed to speed up the process”. Similar to the other article someone posted about the Senate not needing to approve cabinet positions because it will save time.

That data was irrelevant to the premise. I could also have listed how many men, women, and chariots voted, but it really doesn’t do anything more than show that if there is a 2 party system, it would be nice to have the winner near 50%. Id like to see everyone vote.

22% of Americans voted for Trump. 78% did not. I can tell you I voted and was offered to answer none of those questions from that site. So I’m going to say none of them represent all of the voters if you don’t actually ask all of the voters.

Just for the sake of more information: 337m Percentage over 18 ~78% That makes about 262m voters possible. 74m vote for Trump makes 28-29% of possible votes in 2024 81m votes for Biden in 2020, population was around 331m then. About 31-32% of the possibilible votes.

Point being, people need to vote. Making voting easier makes it possible to ensure you get a more complete tally of what people want in a democracy. People shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to say they won’t be in town, and will be working or w.e else to convince someone that a mail in ballot is wanted.
Should have a request a ballot button online as well. Why mail a form in to have the forms sent to you. Gets rid of some waste there too.

22% voted for Trump. The other 78 percent, didn’t vote, couldn’t vote, or voted against him. So yeah, we can argue about overlap in that 78% and wanting it, but we shouldn’t auto lump them in.

Gaetz over there like what? Is it possible? GOP: nah, we’ll protect you.

Why does that say they don’t have U.S. citizenship? They are natural U.S. citizens. Also U.S. appointed governor sounds a fishy title for a governor that is voted on by only the citizens of Puerto Rico. So yes they are “U.S. appointed” but the U.S. citizens appointing them are the residents of Puerto Rico.

President Obama also went there and said he would support whatever they chose https://web.archive.org/web/20230124035101/https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/us/politics/15obama.html

Note: it may also be the easiest way to get a U.S. citizenship that many overlook. I have seen somewhere you can get a citizenship in PR with only 1 year of residency.

As for racism, yes that will exist for a few generations likely even after statehood, wish we could fix that but we backtracked a lot lately there it seems.

I assume they submitted the results and stated they need to be removed, then reviewed the supreme courts measure that stated they only have power to make measures if Congress grants them privilege to do so (precidence, set in Julyish of 2022 with the EPA) making the specialized divisions of government created by Congress illegitimate unless Congress votes on the measure afterwards, making them just superficial recommendations for Congress to wait and see what their lobbyists think is okay.

Aka will drug companies pay enough to keep us lying to the public, vs maybe we will go by the recorded data.

Exon mobile recorded their data of environmental impacts in what year? And we had battery powered vehicles traveling up to 100 miles before that time. Instead of doing what was best for the future of the people, we chose what was best for profits. Reference article for fun; https://www.corporateknights.com/transportation/half-a-century-ago-one-u-s-senator-fought-to-ban-gas-powered-cars-almost-won

Point being. what power did they have to remove them from the shelves. I assume they are launching these last ditch efforts before Biden leaves, and praying to get some support before they get chiseled away at.

Imagine where we would be if GM/Ford and such started forcing the R&D in 1975 instead of 2005, 2015 or whatever we call it now
