We can start talking broadly about third parties in the general election when more of them start winning local and state elections. How many progressives are in Congress? State Governors? State Congress? I’ve checked, it’s not a lot. When that number gets much bigger, people will take them more seriously and consider them for higher office. This Jill Stein coming out of the woodwork every 4 years nonsense ain’t it.

I found exactly one keyboard with oversized keys for my fat sausage fingers, no num pad. I emailed the company to see if they were planning on doing a full sized version, nope. Guess I’m gonna keep making typos.

Reminds me of a joke:

The faculty of the engineering department at a university are gifted a free vacation retreat. Once everyone is in their seats on the plane, the captain announces that the very plane they’re sitting in was designed and built by their own students.

Chaos breaks out as the passengers scramble for the exits, until only one professor remains, calmly and confidently poised in his seat.

Naturally, he is asked why he didn’t panic like his colleagues. With a knowing smile he replies “I know the abilities of my students, I’ve seen what they’re capable of accomplishing when they apply themselves. I can assure you this piece of shit will never start.”

I could, but whatever’s wrong with her is way hotter tbh

They come from a parallel universe where the lunar month is about 4 days longer than ours.

I can’t speak to the opinions of the Polish people, but I’d imagine that’s considered an upgrade from when the jokes were largely about them being bafflingly stupid.

As seems to be the consensus, I still find people in their 20s physically attractive, but the prospect of spending any significant amount of time talking to most people more than 5 or so years separated from my age is pretty exhausting. If we’re talking long term relationships, I’d rather compromise a bit on looks in favor of a roughly contemporary personality than vice versa. And, as I get older, my threshold for “attractive” softens a bit to accommodate that personality.

My dish soap smells like delicious citrus but I know better than to taste it.

Yeah, but if they’re in a sufficiently abstracted industry, the domino chain of failing petit bourgeoise will sustain them until retirement. Especially when you’ve already got enough to live comfortably, might as well squeeze as much juice out as possible, quarter by quarter. The aftermath is someone else’s problem.
