The Constitution can be changed; it has been 27 times already, so I don't see why everyone seems to think it's set in stone.

The Republican party is fully aware at this point that low voter turnout only helps their guy. The fact that they're allowed to do this, especially this late into the election year, is just absolute tyranny. They will always sabotage their own base to increase their power.

Damn, and they even pathologized it. I guess some things never change.

PSA: Nova Launcher's owning company sells their user data. It was a good launcher when it first came out, but it's been nothing but a downward spiral from there.

Edit for clarity: I don't mean the app itself. It is owned by an entity that exists to sell consumer data.

Yeah, that's just the stance you take when shooting from a standing position in competition. It's really awkward at first, but it does improve the stability of your aim significantly.

Well, the others are using pistols, while he's using a rifle.

I was told this as a fast food manager: do not admit fault, only apologize for the situation the person is experiencing. The second you admit fault, they said, you admit liability for any damages, real or imaginary.

I wish I could've enjoyed some hallucinogens before my memory went to shit. I'm just hoping it's my ADHD and not early onset dementia. 🙃

For whole blood, I've only ever been given a t-shirt. For plasma alone though, it was purely dependent on your weight and, therefore, how much they can take from you in the one session. I'm a tiny dude who barely weighed enough to qualify and got about $80 a couple years ago. It's honestly not worth it at all, but if you're broke it's easier than many other options. The place was full of the "undesirables" of society because of that. It drained me emotionally, seeing how blatantly exploitative it is.

Edit to add: these plasma donations can be done with a tighter window between them too, so the people who were always short on cash were in there every 2 weeks.

Edit again: I forgot that that was an introductory deal where they give you an extra $40, so it was actually $40 for me. Overweight patients could get around $70-$80.

This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.

This was my strategy every time. It never worked out great, because there's usually a reason people don't want to be paired up with whoever you end up with.

Okay, why is nobody else asking why this is an image of a monitor?

Voyager has a setting to show a baby emoji next to the name of a user if their account is less than a month old and an account age. Probably one of the best features I've ever seen for immediately recognizing troll accounts.
