Never thought I’d see a bird described as “promiscuous” in a scientific article, but here we are I suppose.

What does not participating accomplish, exactly? Even if I’m unlikely to succeed, between a 0.0001% chance and a 0% chance, I’m going for the 0.0001% every time.

You just sent that thing into a fucking coma

You’re right, the Democrats chose to ignore what the Michigan voters were telling them. And in response, Michigan voters didn’t vote for Democrats, and the world got objectively worse as a result, because Trump was elected to office.

Democrats failed their constituents. And the constituents who didn’t vote out of protest allowed Trump to become president and make the world worse–even knowing that he was the worse option. Both of these things are true. We don’t have to pretend like it’s one or the other.

I find it very easy to blame presidents for high gas prices due to their reluctance to go after corporations.

It means they counted more votes than there are people who could have possibly voted. If Alaska had a voting-eligible population of 100, then they counted 114 votes. Which means there was significant voter fraud.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the graphic, but why the hell is a password that would take 9000 years to crack not considered secure enough to be colored green? What context would even realistically allow for the password to still be relevant at that point?

I agree with the sentiment, but can we please quit it with the Christian eschatology analogies? There are enough nutbags out there drawing the same comparisons as it is, except they take them literally and find them encouraging.

Plus, in my opinion, the more we equate these people with mythological figures of doom and dread, the harder it becomes to feel like we can actually do anything about them.

I think they were trying to point out the double standard here. As a Democrat, she gets hung out to dry over a tiny infraction, whereas Republicans are openly corrupt and face 0 consequences. They’re saying if she ran as a Republican this incident would never have been a problem because the bar is so low for them.

My quick and dirty go-to meal for when I’m too tired to cook or just didn’t have time to prepare anything is Hot Dogs and Rice:

Chop up three hot dogs, ~¼ inch per slice, and set aside. Dice a small yellow onion; melt a tablespoon of butter in a pot over medium heat and throw in the onion, sauteeing until translucent. Throw in a cup of rice and allow the rice to toast a bit. Once toasted, add 2.5 cups of chicken broth (I use Better than Bouillon, it slaps) and let it reach a boil; meanwhile, gather ¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp basil, ¼ tsp rosemary, ¼ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp onion powder, and dump that mixture into your pot and stir a little. Once you’ve got some boilage, add your chopped up hot dogs and ½ cup frozen veggies, then put the lid on and let it simmer for 20 minutes, after which you can remove from heat and let stand (lid on) for another 10 minutes. Then grab a fork and eat! It’s quick, easy, and dirt cheap, while still being pretty yummy.
