Yeah, exactly!

IMO, ranked choice voting, publicly (and only publicly) funded elections and outlawing partisan and otherwise discriminating gerrymandering would be much better solutions.

Will probably never happen though, since the people in charge of reforming the system are themselves amongst the main beneficiaries of the corruption inherent in the system ๐Ÿคฆ

You would be right on both counts.

That being said, term limits for members of Congress to solve anything is one of those things that sound good on the surface but could actually make everything even worse.

It's supposed to decrease corruption by incumbents being less entrenched, but it could be the cause of much MORE corruption by making the revolving door between corrupt business interests and corrupt politics spin faster..

This is just an aside, but I love how oversight means making sure mistakes/abuses don't happen too much but also means mistake ๐Ÿ˜„

The text is perfectly legible when you click/tap the pic rather than just rely on the preview and if the rest bother you so much, there's a link to the original under it.

Fair enough, but how many other cake recipes call specifically for vinegar or anything containing it? I'm genuinely asking as a mystified person who doesn't bake ๐Ÿ˜„

Yeah, that literally sounds impossible ๐Ÿ˜„

I run in AD4K most of the time, but in the most demanding games, it's too detrimental to my ADFPS

I have a no cum tag on my sock drawer in case a teenager breaks in.

Let the man eat it and rest first. Being hungry and stressed out impairs both learning itself and retention.
