Maybe she thought she could "fix" him. Still stupid

I live somewhere where I have access to dozens of restaurants within a 5 minute drive and I can order ahead to avoid waiting. Cooking really is not an activity I enjoy so I have no interest in practicing unless I have to. That is not to say I never have food at home. I regularly make healthy super smoothies, sandwiches loaded with greens, prepared salads, and whole grain cereals. I wouldn't consider that cooking though.

I'm not looking to invalidate the experience of anyone who is good at or enjoys cooking. Just sharing my opinion that this is one area that is very commonly recommended for saving money that I personally don't find worth my time.

I feel this way about cooking. I hate cooking. It takes a lot of time. And lots of cleanup time. And time spent planning and shopping. Plus the tools, ingredients, and power/gas/water used all cost money. With all that in mind, a $9 bowl of chipotle is significantly cheaper by my estimation than cooking an equivalent myself.

Doesn't necessarily mean it's cheaper for a bad reason though. There are often instances where the cheaper option can also be the better option.

The apology video came out before the sexual harassment accusations.

Probably so that the 3 hinges can be at the standard heights on the tall side of the door. The short side would have cut off the top hinge. But yeah, would have been nicer to chisel out custom spacing for the hinges on the short side

Well, that's good. Unfortunately lots of people don't vote in the primary, and then complain about their options in the general election.

I don't expect you to give a shit about my feelings. Was just hoping maybe you or someone reading this might come around to the idea that realistically, there are only two ~~options~~ outcomes, and we should avoid the fascistic one at all costs.

For the record, my feelings are that I'd really like to see younger people in office too, but I'm not gonna shoot myself (and the country) in the foot over it.

Falsely implying there has been no climate action, vehemently opposing their candidate over his age, and refusing to vote for them seems a bit aggro toward the party 🤷‍♂️

That's how our FPTP system works. Twist yourself into a pretzel all you want. The reality is, if you want to preserve a functioning democracy in this country and have even the slightest chance of improving it one day, you have only one real option (hint: it's not a third party and it's definitely not the orange fascist).

You, and everyone with your mindset, will have failed America.

Cool, do that in the next primary, but for now let's pick one of the real options on the table.
