That’s what I’m saying, that’s a winning message, rather than focusing on hauling ashore the few boats deemed most deserving by whatever metric and implying the others are less important and can wait.

IMHO foolish to focus on the most vulnerable rather than how most people are vulnerable in some way or another and putting foremost in policy messaging changes that would help large numbers of people.
I sympathize with the plight of trans folks and other smaller disadvantaged minority groups but half of Americans are barely making ends meet, and America is falling further behind in manufacturing, infrastructure and technology/research, all while bathroom bills and grooming narratives are decade+ old very effective wedge issues.
Help the most vulnerable certainly but put front and foremost how the vast majority would be helped if you want to motivate voters and win converts.

Bad design. Toilet paper not currently in use must be stored outside the bathroom so that it doesn’t become damp and musty from the humidity. As opposed to on the wet floor next to the dewy toilet. This is how you get a nasty fungal infection fyi
I’ve had a box in my cabinet for a couple weeks, gonna make it now thanks to you.
Do they call them subterrenes (similar to submarines) in the industry or is that term a ridiculous steampunk conceit? Big respect here for those who tunnel
Did your coworkers crack a lot of jokes about The Underminer from The Tick and Krang from Ninja Turtles?
Thanks! On my watch list now
I enjoyed it but admit it was imperfect. They should keep remaking it though, I’d happily watch yet another remake it in a decade or so.

So, hey, can someone explain to me about Linux Mint, like since it is derivative of Ubuntu does that mean that the new system of having to pay for Ubuntu updates is inherited by Mint?
They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I’m suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn’t exactly new.
But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a “civil” society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they’ve got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.
Worst case? Covert Israeli influence to propel the far-right into power in Spain. A return to Franco-era fascism. Not terribly likely but it’s hard to imagine worse.

I used to use an electric toothbrush many years ago but heard it could cause receding gums so its storage. I like manual toothbrushes because you can buy the inexpensive ones and replace them frequently, electric heads are a little pricey to replace. Generally my tongue seems pretty clean but I’m going to get a cheapo tongue scraper and see if I notice any difference. Do you use one of the fancy copper ones or just the standard steel/plastic ones I’ve seen?
Is a tongue scraper really that much better than brushing your tongue?
I remember reading there was something like this back in the mid/late 00s too, maybe without the giftcards but you could sign up for email alerts when there was a forum thread that needed to be brigaded, long before even reddit was a thing.
Edit: read about it on Metafilter at the time but it seems to have been purged. If you’re interested maybe the post is findable on the Internet Archive
How the US managed to dodge any significant outbreak of mad cow disease but the UK had to burn a large number of herds I’ll never understand
Just because one financially doesn’t need to work doesn’t mean one is forbidden from doing so. Plenty of openings in retail with lots of opportunity for arguably meaningful human interaction.
