He’s not the incumbent. He’s the president-elect.

And the opiate epidemic and the rise in alcohol consumption and on and on.

I have found another local one with a higher limit, but I don’t know if they are as invasive and, frankly judgmental, about it when you need to exceed that.

Oh shit, you just reminded me that I’ve been needing to buy a new couch.

Most Americans aren’t even familiar with the idea that vegetables can be out of season. They have a handful of things that they know how to cook and they cook the same things regardless of season, barbecues and that sort notwithstanding.

In the US, teeth and eyes are not considered the same as other healthcare. They each need separate insurance policies. It’s bullshit.

Yeah, and even with dental insurance, dental procedures are still expensive as fuck.

Is there a brand you would recommend? Growing up, I drank basically nothing but tea and (later) coffee. I don’t like the super white teeth look, but a little whiter wouldn’t hurt.

I use a local credit union. I am extremely unsatisfied, and they are widely viewed as the best credit union / banking option in the region.

Want to make a purchase or pay a bill over $1,500? Have to call the credit union! And they’ll want to know exactly what you are spending this money on before they’ll approve it. That’s right: They will withhold your own money from you if your large expense isn’t satisfactory to them.

Fuck you, BECU. One of these days I’ll switch to another credit union or back to one of the big banks.

Sugar is not needed for survival.

Of course it’s Portland.

You must watch very different movies than I do. I immediately envision something dank and dark with flickering lights.

No, but it can often be guessed based on name or zip code.

The stochastic terrorism is working as intended.

I almost think you should be glad that he wasn’t shot or beaten. There’s a reason SPD has been under a consent decree.

Not that hard to buy people’s data these days.

This is so bizarre to me. He is specifically known as a horror author… Most famously for Hellraiser. I’m trying to imagine how one would think he was known for war stories and can’t figure it out.

But, congratulations! I wish I could start reading his books for the first time again and now you have that chance. Enjoy. They get weird.

Like in Primer, maybe.

Careful you don’t get shot (assuming you live in the US). I’m not even joking. Road rage shootings are very much a thing.

Their individual votes count more than those of more populous states.
