Unless you happen to live in swing state, your vote does not matter, and will change nothing. Put whomever makes you feel better down, or just lie. The only thing being affected here is your feelings.

I've let goldenrod take over parts of my yard, which feels like cheating lol. Everything loves goldenrod. Soon the sunchokes will bloom which are a great late season (blooms through most of October) sunflower. Not quite as showy as normal sunflowers, but the tubers, when pickled via fermentation, make a great artichoke replacement.

I've been stuffing more and more native wild flowers in my city plot to attract bees. It's attracting lots of common eastern bumble bees, honey bees, carpenter and mason bees, plus a ton of tiny bees I have no idea how to identify. But the other day I saw the critically endangered rusty patched bumble bee and almost died from delight. Very surprising because they're not supposed to do well in urban environments.

Cheney successfully stole an election. My man just doesn't like losers.

Have you tried reducing the amount of water you cook the rice in?

I personally feel that leftists would be better served trying to take seats on the common council. There's even less turnout there, and they technically have more power than the mayor as a body. When it looked like she had a chance to become mayor the common council drafted legislation to strip the office of the mayor of most of its powers. Running for mayor should happen after leftists get enough seats on the council to block any such legislation from getting passed.

Hey now, the Mayor's role is to rubber stamp tax breaks and sweetheart deals for incredibly rich, and racist real estate moguls. Sure, an entire neighborhood of the city smells like a sewer each time it rains, the roads are completely falling apart, there's an under-reported lead crisis due ancient infrastructure and slumlords, and the water authority was privatized and handed over to the french. All in a city where 20% of households cannot afford a car, and live in an incredibly car dependent area with unreliable bus service. But all these real-estate developers are happy so it's all good right?

Damn, I'm sorry man. I graduated at the height of the great recession and after scrambling for a job for a year before caving and taking something maintaining some dumb custom PHP inventory system for a small business. Only got my previous job (doing driver development) through sheer dumb luck. It was as close to my dream job of OS development as was probably possible, and the company made a real physical thing instead of another pointless app. But the place really did a number on me, and I feel less capable then I used to be.

The job market is also worse in some ways now than it was then, which is crazy. There may be more jobs available now than then, but the ones now seem shittier and the job search process is somehow even more degrading. Im considering joining the local brick layers union. Wish you the best of luck, and I wish good tech jobs didn't fall into either the dumbest product you've ever heard of, or working for some of the most evil forces on the planet.

This is upstate erasure. Suburban/rural upstate is full of psychos.

Uggh. I occasionally browse r/haskell since I like using the language for personal projects. Someone posted a job offering from Andruil and literally everyone in that shitty subreddit except 1 guy was gushing over the idea of working for them. Tech workers are fucking hopeless. On a totally unrelated note I quit my developer job recently due to burnout and am doing some soul searching because I don't think I can work in the field anymore without losing my sanity.

I like how the title to that post is just describing property taxes that every home owner already pays.
