Yes, but those local elections don’t have the “fame,” money, or future fundraising potential those big elections do. They don’t waste their time because they actually don’t care about the “running the government/making change” part of elections, they just want to be on TV.

The devils advocate people are the worst. Just want to be contrarians.

Yep. I didn’t read the details either. Will haunt me.

Upscale milk brand Fairlife accused of animal abuse, environmental wrongs Fairlife, owned by Coca-Coca, has been accused by animal rights activists of using milk supplied by dairy farms that abuse animals and pollute the waterways.

This is the Fairlife info. www.courthousenews.com/upscale-milk...

I know! I liked Fairlife milk and their protein drinks and so I was torn. But found the Parmalat and have been happy with it. It’s not easy to find where it is in the store. So you might have to ask. This was at Safeway in Northern California.

$8.99 for the mini ones. Then they have flavored ones I didn’t want.

I used to use Fairlife because it lasted longer in the fridge but it’s gotten expensive and I read about some shady business practices. So, I switched to Parmalat—which I first discovered when living in Italy—and is shelf stable until you open it and has been on sale at the grocery store lately.

Candy canes were $8 for a not so big box at the store today. $8!!!!!!

You certainly don’t understand religion in the US if you think that most religions here prohibit alcohol. Heck, have you met a Catholic priest?

He’s such a spineless kiss ass. Hate him.

He is the most insecure man because ALL of his “wins” over the years have been GIVEN to him or created for him. ALL of these republicans complaining about participation trophies for kids are okay with this loser constantly getting awards he didn’t earn.

Yep. Not only that, she wasn’t just a woman scorned. She was in a position of power and influence as a journalist and helped him get elected.

The problem I have is that she kind of helped him get that position. She’s one of those excusing or ignoring his behavior b/c she was enchanted by his position? She USED her position as a journalist to help him. Yet, we know the score. Women never win in this game and she chose to do it anyway.

So glad he is finally getting help he can use and so glad he has you. The process for this stuff is infuriating, because the symptoms of these disorders (ADHD, anxiety, depression) make it almost impossible to even get seen or get treated effectively.

Yes! He’s such a fabulous role model.

What is most frustrating about this is that women change their name when they get married all the time and that is allowed. But they freak out about this admiral’s name. No one would change Melania’s name to her maiden name under the portrait. These people are so pathetically miserable.

Do you think a lot of it comes from the strong patriarchal & misogynistic views prevalent in a lot of those African countries? White evangelical Christianity has embedded its way into a lot of the culture over the century. That Trump is wealthy & w/power they equate to him being blessed by God.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

I get it. It’s tough to leave students (that’s why so many of us stay too long) but prioritizing your mental and emotional health is the priority because no one else will. Hoping you get a chance to decompress and refresh.

Yep. This is the entire Republican Party, right? That narcissistic view of the world, which I do think a LOT of it comes from people believing they are “blessed” by God. “If it doesn’t affect me, why do I care?” Then they’re shocked when something does affect them. “Why won’t you do anything???”

This was a big argument against the ACA—people complaining they were required to have insurance. “But I’m healthy, why do I need insurance?”

Like, you’re family is healthy, until it’s not. These people are ridiculously dumb.

Preparing my lunch for work leads to one of the following outcomes. 1) forget it on the counter so it’s spoiled by the time I get home 2) bring to work, eat everything at 8 am 3) bring to work, too busy and forget about it, bring back home after work, food spoiled, toss. 🤷‍♀️
