FL also has recreational weed and abortion rights on their ballot this election. I'm not necessarily holding my breath, but those could help push their left-leaning voter turnout.

clearly suffering from a mental health episode

It's horrifying that Trump's campaign manager would casually make this significant health claim on an official that dared to do his job rather than bow to Trump's will. Just horrifying.

"since the financial crisis" - You'll have to be more specific than that 🥲

Why? You're disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don't like its somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.

I appreciate the spirited response, but you're misunderstanding things.

Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.

The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to "vote out" judges facing a retention vote.

Calculating the total number of hours that one sees their parents, and then dividing that total by 24 to determine the "number of days" they've spent with their parents is misleading and nonsensical. You yourself spend nearly every other day with your folks and, through your math, you've calculated that you're "really only" spending 5% (1.6 years / 30 years) of your time with them. This reminds me of (though is not nearly as bad as) this "A Day Off" anti-time-off propaganda.

Edit: Grammar

Not sure if it'd help, but you could stick a buuunch of camping, hiking, outdoors, etc. stickers on your van. Try to turn its image from a "ghetto" van to a "hippy / outdoor enthusiast" van. I imagine you can order large sticker packs online for very cheap.

Are you trying to making a connection between a bad / weak man and being gay? If so, that's a shitty, inappropriate attempt at a joke.

Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

You can update the TVs settings to block these new large video ads. However, Amazon is getting more and more intrusive with its ads. I imagine that, similar to the Alexa Shows that I also use, every few weeks they'll tweak the ads, making your previous "disable this" settings no longer applicable. It's technically a new ad type, so they can auto enable it again. Super frustrating.

Largely in response to these new autoplay ads, I replaced my Fire TV with an LG TV. I've got another LG TV from only a few years ago that doesn't really have ads. This one.. does. Damn it. Don't get me wrong, they're much less in-your-face when compared to Amazon's ads. But, damn, does everything just have to be ads now?

I love that the printed "24 pack" label on the top right serves as the "24" slot. Great reuse!

Popeyes makes an amazing chicken sandwich! (Assuming that's what you were getting from Chick-fil-A.) I might even enjoy it more than Chick-fil-A's.
