I never want to hear another old person complain about young people not knowing how to write correctly in their emails

It's always performative if someone is beautiful, because by virtue of being beautiful they can only exist for their performance/our consumption. We all know that pretty girls can't read.

Maybe the Democratic party should promote leadership that isn't so eager to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Was this political party somewhere else on Tuesday?

Nobody knows how to snatch defeat from the claws of victory like the Democratic establishment

But think of how much time you'll save with your new electric can opener!

Sure, in the end they'll cost more than your human employees, but they'll never unionize!

Already angry today

I keep asking this but apparently the answer is no, at least not in Maine.

If he's young, attractive, articulate, and has a NAZI tattoo it's all "there's no perfect candidate and we all have to compromise" but if he's young, attractive, articulate and has overwhelmingly popular platform it's "the end of the Democratic Party"

I've been fascinated as a real question of where the Democratic Party is going. Nonstop blah blah blah about attracting younger voters, energizing the base, and focusing on kitchen-table issues. Finally someone does it and the establishment LOSES ITS MIND

I can't picture Elon ever doing anything for anyone else though, even if he wasn't rich. You know he'd be a stingy bastard even if he was middle class.

That could be true, I also don't follow Bannon's life story. But I think it's fair to say he's politically affiliated with the rich, even if he's currently poor.

Yes, an unlikely coalition: From rich white guy who knows nothing about AI to some other rich white guy who knows nothing about AI

I'm not sure it says anything about political funding. The entire process is illegal, so it's just business as usual with the administration.

"And she just wouldn't have any reason to lie about something like that so it has to be true "

Today I learned that George Clooney is gay. How did I learn this? Because the woman at the next table over told her companion that her cousin's best friend's mom is best friends with the mom of Clooney's male lover.

I did manage to convince a coworker that "Douchehat" is actually the correct pronunciation and now he uses it with full confidence.

I'm sure they'll do something else I'm angry about tomorrow, but I'll take this today.

That's what I look like all the time, since I only drink water when I'm thirsty

I think I mean that even if I were 20 years old right now, I'd still be too lazy to carry a water bottle around!

My regular barista introduced me to a new employee as a "big shot biologist" and I'm a) charmed she thinks that's a thing b) doubly charmed she thinks that if it existed it's a title I'd qualify for

I don't even think it's generational, at any age I was too lazy to carry water I don't need

I have a (very young) coworker who brings her water bottle when we walk to lunch. There's water at the office, there's water at the restaurant, it's 63 degrees out, how dehydrated are you going to get on the 8 minute walk??

I'm living a pretty good ghost life, tbh

As a Portlander, I am fully certified to weigh in on this, and it's an-TEE-fuh.

I thought having huge portions of the population kicked off their health insurance would have done it... but it didn't.

What's going to push them over the edge?

Meh, I'm not sure what's going to cause them to "lose it". They've been hit hard economically, didn't budge the numbers. Their mortality rate in every category is so much higher, doesn't bother them. They won't differ on ideology because their ideology is literally to support Trump.

I had never encountered this until yesterday, a 20-something dude came and stood on my porch for a while, obviously waiting. We could see him and he could see us (us: frantically whispering "what is he doing? why doesn't he knock or ring the bell?") and then he just went away.
