Front end, back end

This is an important bit of cognitive dissonance occurring right now, Christians do not consider their "medically necessary" abortions to be "abortions." And they don't think anyone BUT them can actually have a medically necessary one, everyone else is using them for birth control. So the laws should become more restrictive, not less.

He can have it both ways. He is just going to say the farmers are heros for "taking the risk" and "protecting us all" from the violent cohort that is required to get our food to table now. Immigrants can be the enemy even more than ever, his base gets to eat up a new form of cognitive dissonance like a brain tumor, all will be well this time next year for them.

It's also like the death penalty that it riles people up, they say "God Damn Right" and "They DESERVE IT my mofuckin' KIDS gotta be PROTECTED" while painting anyone who doesn't like it as sympathetic to perverts.

So, it's going to probably work really well.

My city specifically says, as a homeowner, I can do basic electrical without pulling permits. Now I'm in the South and I've rented houses which were internally wired with lamp cord - people can and will do some crazy fucking things. But my city doesn't have an unusually high electrical fire rate.

As always on an old house tho - grandfathered in many ways - I point to things and say "it was like that when I bought it." Why yes, I'm prepared to claim the EV hookup is part of the original 1902 electrical service.

President of peace, his supporters called him. Never lead us into a conflict, they said.

The ops guy drew up multiple plans for a redundant light source and plans to train staff on light bulb replacement protocols, but was overruled by management who found this to be too costly. Maybe next year tho.

60 years of foreign policy

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It's one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it's another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.

The paper thing stopped being true in the past year around here. Name brand paper towels are now so thin, store brand is thicker at half the price. Q-Tips don't have the same cardboard in the middle, less cotton Kroger brand is closer to the old q-tips (but still a step down from what I grew up with).

Toilet paper is basically a toss-up, the nicer store brands are about comparable to the non-specialty name brands now. For the extra strong or extra soft, name brand still wins, but it's changing.

Yeah and a lot of it was on the part of women. Why do we assume putting up a female candidate will make women inspired? A lot of them believe the role belongs to a man - enough to fuck a party over. So will we keep virtue signaling by putting women candidates in front of the same electorate?
