Yes! Bring it full circle. I love it.

That would fit the pattern (provided Harris wins) Obama/Biden -> Biden/Harris -> Harris/Walz -> Walz/??

I don’t think it’s fair to say both snakes in that bag are equally bad. Sure they might both kill you, but one of them will give you a horrific, painful death.

People only caring if it personally affects them is a part of how it got this bad in the first place.

I’m glad they never made any more films after that

I guess you haven’t watched Resurrections then.

I haven’t been to McDonald’s in a few years but I stopped into one for breakfast on a recent road trip and discovered that a single hash brown is now $2.50 plus tax!

Realistically, a hash brown probably should cost that much when you consider the number of people involved in creating, transporting, and serving it to you but I don’t think we’re seeing wages support that.

Please tell your girlfriend thank you for being considerate of others.

I think that might depend on who you’re hiring though. That’s the same line our boss told me when they pushed me back to the office. But in the time since then, we have hired several new staff who actually prefer to communicate digitally. They will email, teams, phone, or text me with questions before actually seeking me out in person.

I’m on day 744 and my streak is just an alternating pattern of fire and ice. I hate it but I think I hate the idea of dropping all that progress more. Did you stop using Duolingo altogether or just switch to practicing when you want to?

This is such a great explanation, thanks for taking the time to write it all out.

He’s also very much on team orange.

I think they meant to say sanctions, not seasons.

It’s ridiculous that Christmas decorations and shopping starts popping up in stores 4 months early in September (late August in some cases). No other holiday is like that. It’s like seeing Valentine’s Day stuff out in November or Halloween out in July. Personally, I feel oversaturated and sick of Christmas by the time it actually arrives.

I don’t know about giving extra benefits to workers with children. Certainly, workers with children should be given what they need to have a healthy work/life/family balance but I don’t think workers without kids should be denied those same opportunities just because they chose to live their personal life differently. I think workers in the same role should be equally compensated with all of the same benefits and opportunities which then can be utilized as best suits their personal situation.

My wife and I were thinking about this last week. We were wondering about personal security. At least where we live, they like to make a spectacle of the big winner with photo op, publish name and how town, etc. We wondered if that would invite trouble for the winner. For instance, would people try to break in expecting you to have valuables? Would you be a target for kidnapping and ransom? What about your family or close friends, would someone kidnap them to get you to pay ransom on? Even if you immediately spent it all, would people still try, not knowing it’s all gone? I’m with you, I’d keep it as secret as I could.
