Almond milk itself is basically just a slurry of ground almonds and water.

JAQ-offs if you will.
Mitch McConnell literally called a proposal to give federal workers election day off so they could vote a "Democrat power grab"
In the end my view on it is you're asking yourself what battlefield you want to fight on when you vote for president. Sure both of the likely options are going to be uphill battles but one seems much easier to battle in than the other.
"Hmm... My pants seem a tad uncomfortable what's that abou-"
Deep Sigh
"Gods blast it all where did I put that Gum Arabic?"
I believe they're referring to the upcoming Manifest V3 changes. My understanding is that currently uBlock uses the old Manifest V2 that they're ending support for once V3 gets pushed. I believe there is a V3 version of uBlock but because of the limitations in V3 it's not as effective at blocking ads.
Those bottles already have that deposit on them in New York State. I regularly see tons of people going around Buffalo picking up bottles and cans to take back to redemption centers for the deposit. All that plastic in the river is happening in spite of that 5 cent redemption.
Now this part is just an anecdote but the people I personally see most often chucking their bottles on the ground are Canadians tossing them out their car windows. Which makes sense since you can't take them back across the border with you and still get the deposit back. They'd have to do it before heading back to Canada.
One time I was dealing with a really bad migraine while I was running register at Walmart. I was barely functioning and could barely stand up straight. This lady comes through my line starting out all compassionate until she suggests that she lead me in a prayer that Jesus might heal me. I try to politely decline because I'd rather not hold up the line forming behind her. Well, also because I'm atheist but I had been in customer service for years at that point and knew better than to bring that tidbit up.
This lady starts into the most hate fueled tirade I've ever heard. Talking about how I'm a heathen, my migraine was a punishment directly from God, I deserve every second of my suffering, and calling me everything but a child of God. All because I tried to politely decline a performative prayer from her because there were now 3 people in line behind her. Like 20 minutes later I got taken out in an ambulance because I fainted from the pain trying to stand up after using the bathroom on my break.
Another guy tried to get me to discount his entire order because he supposedly knew the guy that owned the contacting company that built the store. Try to tell him that I don't have the ability to do that and he'd have to talk to a manager. He gets right up in my face and starts yelling about how no one else ever had a problem with it and how with one phone call he could make it so I would never be able to work at Walmart again. Along with several threats to my person. If I never set foot behind a cash register again it'll be too soon.
I've got some furry friends and there's a whole spectrum. You can run into everything from the mostly human with some animal features like the kemonomimi trope to full anthropomorphic animals. Depends on the person really.
Except neurodivergence is a scientific concept. It's been being studied and discussed in the social sciences for like 20 years now. And unironically implying that someone isn't disabled because you can't see their disability is in fact ableist. My son literally gets services from the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities for his ADHD and Autism. He's legally considered disabled. But you would never know he has a disability looking at him.
It's not a thing in the sense of it being some innate part of the universe. But it's very real in the sense of societal expectations. It's all our natural differences, but Neurotypical is just the acceptable amount of difference that society is built around and caters to. If you fall outside of that you're neurodivergent. Of course people aren't sorted into playing life on easy mode; their level of difference simply naturally falls in that acceptable range. They don't have to think about it like someone else might because it just comes naturally to them. It's considered a disability because everyone is expected to operate inside of that acceptable range and if you can't then you're broken according to society.
Yeah that's pretty much it. You had multiple virtual desktops that let you have different sets of windows up on each and when you switched between them it played this cool animation of them laid out in a cube that you rotated to the next face. Then the wobbly windows is exactly what it sounds like. They'd jiggle when you dragged them around or when you maximized them.
Ran like crap on my old laptop I used for school but my god it was necessary to have. Still brings a goofy smile to my face whenever I'm moving windows around today since it's a thing you can still do in Linux desktop environments. Had I not had my Comp Sci degree pursuits disrupted by chronic illness I'd likely have had a similar experience to OP.
I mean it would stop this particular madness... In a Monkey's Paw kind of way where we now instead have to deal with the madness of Trump trying to become a dictator and all the harm that entails.
