No it isn’t. I’d be willing to try one, but I think gas is better.

I like it. It gives me a nice way to give my kids little gifts that don’t take up much space. If I had to pick specific ones it wouldn’t work as well.

With that said, I do use an app to make sure they’re not getting duplicates.

I called their customer support, and a person answered. Like, right away. I was caught completely off guard. They resolved my issue in under a minute.

Yeah, I never said anything like that. That’s reductive.

I don’t want to destroy the environment. I just like cooking. Surely there are solutions that allow me to still have a nice stove.

That’s not the case for me.

I’ve always considered myself a libertarian, but I’m coming to realize I need to find another word. I used to be able to explain that assholes were ruining the name, but now the assholes outnumber people like me by too much.

I think the real turning point was when Jo Jorgensen said, “It is not enough to be passively not racist, we must be actively anti-racist,” and then she had to walk it back because the libertarian party was so fucking racist. Like, that’s not even a political statement. It’s a moral one, and it’s one I agree with.

Then when the Libertarian Party changed their stance on abortion, I was done with them. I clung to the lowercase L label, but at this point it doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

I just think the government should be limited to things that only the government can handle. Policing? Roads? Business regulations? Those are all things that can only be handled by the government. Restrictions on what kind of stove I can buy? Restrictions on what I can put in my body or how I dress or what my kids can read at school? Those are all bullshit.

I guess it helps that I align with Democrats on most of the major issues now, but I still won’t consider myself a Democrat.

My hopeful theory is that some intern with access to his phone did it so their behavior would get exposed.

You can color with a candle.

It’s actually a teal blue! Tricky, right? And I believe it’s a Crayola.

Wait until you realize that number 8 is actually teal blue! Gotcha!

The lesson here is not to peel off the labels.

True, but it’s a restaurant crayon, so it’s a little scratchy.

2, and it’s not close.

I had this discussion with my wife a few weeks ago. She did that to a work colleague who took offense to it. I explained that that’s because her colleague is about 8 years younger than us.

Basically, if the recipient is 35 and under, it’s offensive. If they’re 40 and older, it’s not. Anywhere in between, look for context.

Because protests don’t do shit. There were mass protests over police brutality in 2020.

I get why you feel that way, but it’s just not true.
