People should be charged with a crime when their unsecured firearms are used in a crime like this. I’m not holding my breath on this one. No way a cop actually faces criminal charges for this. But they should :(

I think we’re already in a cold civil war. Most folks are in denial but it’s escalating at a breakneck pace.

Tiktok is considered a National Security threat that must be banned because it will give our data to China. Let’s see if Zucc faces absolutely any consequences. I won’t hold my breath

Ohio either is or has recently been a swing state. The rise of fascism is terrifying but people in Ohio should have plenty of options for improving the situation and fighting back. And in even the most conservative red states, many of cities are blue. Your best bet may be to move to a city in Ohio. If that’s too expensive, then I have some bad news for you about Oregon (and probably much of Canada). Rural Oregon can be pretty conservative and racist AF. Cool cities in Oregon aren’t cheap relative to Ohio suburbs and exurbs. Living in a fun neighborhood in Cleveland or Columbus, joining some Democratic or Leftist political organizations and taking more direct action with like minded people may help with the feelings of hopelessness and may actually have a positive impact.

But free advice from a random on the internet is worth what you pay for it 🤷. It’s easy for me to make suggestions from my left leaning coastal city. Ultimately you have to decide how to best protect yourself mentally and physically.

There’s no need to be so aggressive. And the important thing isn’t a mis communication over Claritin vs Claritin-D. The important point is that Loratadine will do fuck all for the common cold. So unless you are also having allergies, you’re taking a medication that isn’t going to help and overpaying. Just get stand alone pseudoephedrine.

Claritin is Loratadine

Claritin-D is Loratadine with added pseudoephedrine. People can buy all the non-D Claritin they want with no restrictions.

You have my sympathies. It’s kind of wild how we have so many advances in medicine and technology, yet a cold can still knock you on your ass for a week and all anyone can do is some half assed symptom management with Tylenol and Sudafed

If you use 2 packets of salt with the irrigation bottle it will help draw fluid from your swollen sinus tissues.

Claritin is not pseudoephedrine. And while both drugs are helpful, neither will magically make your sinuses 100% clear if you have a bad cold. And actually, IDK if Claritin will help at all with a cold since it is an antihistamine. The stuffy nose from a cold isn’t a histamine response, right?

“Fuck the poor but I do like to smoke weed”

I saw that some bodegas in NYC are selling egg loosies. They referred to them as loosies but they were 3 eggs in a plastic bag.

Not OP but, yes. Circular needles are each connected on one end by a cable (or similar). They are typically used to make tubes without seams. Like how most socks are a continuous tube (except for the heel and toe). Most sweaters aren’t done on circular needles (although they can be). If you look at how most sweaters are constructed, you can see that the front and back are single blocks that are stitched together at the sides

I’m a US citizen and I agree with them 100%. A bunch of us tried to tell everyone that Trump was a fascist dumpster fire that would try to make himself king, trash the economy and violate everyone’s civil and human rights. A bunch of ding dongs voted for him anyway. Now he’s making outlandish and insulting demands of our allies, fucking up trade and markets (along with abusing the civil and human rights of some protesters, asylum seekers and random travelers, oh, and throwing Ukraine under the bus and encouraging a fucking measles outbreak). So yeah, I don’t want my house and retirement savings to go into the shitter if the country goes full Nazi and I have to flee with nothing. So maybe if some folks have to do without eggs and cheap imports for a while they just might maybe learn that we need to pull the US out of this tailspin before it’s too late. Some fucking people just will not listen when you tell them the stove is hot. So now we all suffer while they touch the red hot burner and go “Duho, that hurts!”

They should have kept booing until he was forced to leave. Nothing gets to proceed in the presence of Nazis. And if that means the show is canceled or ruined, so be it. We’ve already had far worse things ruined this week.

20D2. Get an email saying “You forgot something in your cart”

Out of a cannon? Into the sun?

He may need to use it to communicate with any actual government employees without getting caught in spam filters

Al Franken was an amazing senator and I would abso-fucking-loutely support him running for president. On the other hand, Joe Rogan is also considered a comedian 🤮

Aww. It’s heartwarming to see how well you care for your pup.

Dogtism :) I use the term pawtistic. One of my pups is very pawkward and possibly pawtistic. She definitely has some social challenges but has grown a lot over the last few years.

That said, I think dogs generally prefer routine so some amount of favoring the familiar could be normal for a dog.
