You’re a hero.

I choose to believe those were the video categories she was enjoying at the time.

It’s one of those places where you go and say, “oh okay I get it. This is incredible.” Pictures don’t do it justice. The physicality of being next to it is hard to describe.

Funerals.

Never Not Funny can be accurately described as, after you get into it, listening to old friends shoot the shit. It will also introduce you to a lot of very funny comedians, many of whom are not super mainstream. Further, it’s been constantly running for 20 years, so you will not run out of content anytime soon.

If you are willing to risk a financially debilitating addiction to cardboard or minis, your local game store could fill that role. I have jokingly referred to my usually-weekly visit to my LGS as “nerd church,” complete with the tithe of a few booster packs. You have to get lucky though because the quality of community can vary wildly. I am fortunate in that regard.

Rice is wetter than an otter’s pocket.

It’s perfectly fine if you maintain your cutting board properly. In that case it is safer than plastic.

I’m not sure it’s worth putting a ton of energy into trying to convince Trump voters. Many of them only come to their senses once they are personally affected by his policies.

There needs to be focus on turning out the majority of Americans who dislike Trump. That has to be done with exciting candidates who focus on our systemic problems and actually want to change things. There’s no amount of window dressing and virtue signaling you can hang on corporatists to make people enthusiastic. They must want to vote for the candidate, not just find them more tolerable.

Normally I’d concur wholeheartedly. I have concerns about the culture that has permeated ICE and whether it can effectively be resolved through reorganization. Perhaps specific functions can be spun off into a new or existing department.

I think it would be more effective to get rid of ICE and use those resources to properly fund the immigration court system, so it can process cases much more quickly.

There is the bigger issue of addressing the causes also. Over a century of destabilizing its neighbors to exploit them for private profit and keep them firmly within the US sphere of influence has predicability created a lot of migration. Fixing that will take many years though.
