Can't believe you held it down. I did it with chocolate milk and barfed it all out like 15 min later. Still cold. Still tasted like chocolate milk. I'm confident it was the least unpleasant puking experience of my entire life including the parts that haven't happened yet.

the next four years

We really may have just voted for the last time. I'll be thrilled if this only sucks for the next 4 years.

Really though we're fucked for the next 30-40 years based on the Supreme Court alone. Expecting Roberts to retire while Trump can name a younger, more bat-shit replacement. Possibly the same for Thomas and Alito.

I 100% agree except why is it that "Democrats dropped the ball"?

Democrats aren't voting for a fascist. Their politicians are not enabling a fascist. The Democratic voting base hasn't been bamboozled by 30+ years of obvious propaganda pretending to be news.

Christians dropped the ball. Conservative immigrants dropped the ball. Legit news media dropped the ball. Large corporations and wealthy individuals dropped the ball... on purpose.

Democrats work on harm reduction because we don't give them enough votes to make meaningful changes. A 1 or 2 vote margin isn't enough to vote around the moles like Manchin and Sinema.

As an office worker I sometimes wonder if welding would have been a better path. Honestly don't know. Depends on the person.

He sort of did that to his own father with the family business.

I've always been able to vote within 10 min or less. Must vary a lot by location.

They assert that how people bet, whether on the benign (who will be the next James Bond?) or the consequential (will Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire before the end of the year?), can help forecast the future. Because there’s money involved, the thinking goes, these prediction markets leverage the collective wisdom of what people actually think will occur, not what they hope will.

DJT stock ticker would like a word.

jk We all know the DJT stock is overvalued because of money laundering and selling access rather than "collective wisdom".

Wasn't speaking to your specific home value. I was adding to the point that every homeowner is not a millionaire.

If someone has a house worth $350,000 but they've only paid off $50,000 from the principal, then they aren't worth $350,000. I'd argue they're not even worth $300,000.

Miss a few payments, and they lose the house plus whatever payments they'd already made. That's not personal wealth. We're just living in the bank's house until it's paid off and the deed gets transferred.

Plus the bank owns any house with a mortgage. It's not your house until it's paid off. Can't be a millionaire with $400,000 in assets and $375,000 in debt.

 

But then I forgot what it was
