Some people are allergic to them, but I don’t know if there’s a Venn diagram overlap with your allergies

That’s why this is in showerthoughts rather than science

It doesn’t increase donations to lose an election. Donors like to think they are making a difference. Maybe when the midterms get rolling, but for a while they’ll be in a slump.

Wouldn’t work in a serious scientific study, no. You’re absolutely correct. But since we’re setting the bar of inquiry at Kennedy levels…?

I’m just trying to put aside my despair for a few minutes.

Honestly, that’s been around forever too, whether by votes or force of arms… Come to think of it, it’s mostly the force of wealth and always has been.

The love of money is the root of all evil etc

I’m “trying” to link it to the recent rise of fascism. And general breakdown of society.

You have a point though, a rise in stupidity is part and parcel of the same phenomenon.

Look, if you can just keep persisting, there’s a good chance you will outlive this, and that he won’t. I outlived Reagan, although clearly his legacy of evil continues. Stay strong, and look out for those even more vulnerable than yourself.

Would have to use historical samples

California passed Proposition 8 (one man one woman)in 2008! Thankfully we saw sense, and this time we passed Prop 3 (the right to marry is a fundamental right/ equal protection).

We may be a little screwy about the number line, but hopefully we’re still a bastion of humanity.

Can you do pink peppercorns? They’re a different kind of tree but might have the same chemical.

Otherwise, some of the most “chili” flavors come from cumin and Mexican oregano and garlic. Coriander is another, and you could add a little kick with allspice. Roasting your bell peppers whole until the skin gets partly charred will give you a faux chipotle flavor. You then discard the seeds and throw them in the blender or food processor so you aren’t eating big chunks of char. Onions of course and tomatoes (canned crushed is fine) and of course ground beef and some beans, I use a can of kidney beans, with the liquid, but use what you like. Often some corn flour or meal is added for thicker, you could crush a few chips or crumble a corn tortilla for that.

I’ve got this all out of order! Char peppers under the broiler first, take out and let cool. Saute your onions in a little olive or corn oil, add garlic and beef, get it browned, add spices, turn down the heat while you get the seeds out of the peppers and chop/puree them. Add them, the tomatoes and beans, taste and add salt, and check if you got all those haphazard spices in. (It’s not done, it needs to simmer awhile, but it’s cooked enough to be safe.) Simmer for… maybe 30 minutes? Or until you’re ready to eat it? If it seems runny, add the tortilla/chip “flour” to thicken it.

See now, I like this even though her armor is dangerous. Because she’s clearly all grown up, fully clothed, empowered af, and sexy.

Yes I guess that’s true, and it doesn’t even help if he’d be chill about accepting a “no thanks,” because she can’t know that in advance, and so many guys aren’t. I guess there’s always the possibility of running into each other in a bar or similar situation where they could assume meeting someone might be a goal of being there. “Didn’t I meet you when we were both voting for Harris?” would be a change from the usual lines.

Seems to me that if you’re canny about your polite chitchat while standing in line, you could segue to “you wanna get a drink sometime?” after you both come out of the polling place.

Which leads me to remind the ladies, just because he was all supportive of women’s bodily autonomy in line, doesn’t mean you can be sure how he actually voted in the booth!

Prestige!

Do your work, there’s going to be a lot of back-and-forth and probably at least one legal challenge to work through before we have a final result so you won’t be missing anything

What’s incredible to me is that the results really aren’t very good. We all know what they looked like young, and the AI version is just… Not Wright. No Hanks, AI.

Just be careful when you do, because there’s a risk of screwing up your retirement savings. Losing employer contributions that could have kicked in if you held out another 6 months or whatever. (I’m not an expert on this subject by the way, and ymmv)

That’s a pickup truck.

(Or in some places we call them a “pick 'em up truck.”)

The Cyberwhatsis will never be a pickup vehicle because not only can’t it carry anything heavy, it also actively repels girls.

Nah you forgot his fascination with the female chromosome. It’ll be the CyberX.
