It sounds like you should be doing the shopping when you want to do the cooking.

I've found the $5 a month tier to be just about right. There have been a few months I've gone over, but they make that super easy to deal with: they just change the subscription renewal date and you start your next month a few days early.

FYI "mouth breather" predates the setting of Stranger Things by decades. It's also not about manipulatively forcing them to deny it: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/508300/mouth-breathing-as-slang-for-stupidity

I don't remember who said it first, but I've linked it before: there's no paradox if tolerance is a social contact rather than an ethic. If someone breaks the terms of the contact, then the other party is not bound by it any more.

I get where you're coming from. Unfortunately, it's not really that simple. Sometimes a relationship is so toxic that there's no way to restore the basic trust that's needed in order to function as a unit. This is no different. Pre-Trump, we might have been able to talk and salvage things; at this point, they're just as broken as a relationship full of cheating and domestic abuse. My fear is that the only way forward is breakup (ie civil war) or some other equally deep trauma.

It would basically let you see all the hidden characters that indicate formatting, which made it possible to see why your text would suddenly display in a weird way.

This isn't about gathering data so much as it is encouraging Trump supporters to get out and vote, is my read.
