Did this place have bike racks?

As someone who worked in a parking lot for years I can tell you 90% of the time the cars that park in these designated spots do not have anything hung from their mirror or on their license plates indicated they are allowed to do so. We couid have theoretically had the cars towed, but when there's still several empty designated spaces it's just not worth bothering with.

I'm much more upset about minimum parking lot size requirements built into zoning codes than I am about an easily-movable bike being left in a space for a few minutes.

Insane that it took 38 years to go from the first black woman in Congress in 1977 to the first black Republican woman in Congress.

Mia Love would have been 2 years old when Shirley Chisholm entered office.

That's easy for someone who can afford more expensive protein sources to say.

Eggs used to be one of the best protein per dollar values available. You still have flour (and flour products), lentils, and pinto beans as options. Maybe oats and peanut butter, although that's starting to transition from "protein per dollar" to "calories per dollar" to make sense. And those other sources will start to get more expensive as people move to them.

It hasn't gotten as much press, but the cost of chicken meat rises with the prices of eggs too. That has historically been the cheapest available meat, so I would expect people moving to alternatives to drive up the costs of pork, lentils and beans. Maybe beef and seafood too.

It's a significant blow, especially to people who do a lot of physical labor and need that protein. This isn't just as simple as "don't buy the videogame that's overpriced" or "don't watch the movie with the problematic actor" or "don't buy the low-quality fast fashion products made by slave labor". This is messing with people's food. Go look up all of the long-term ramifications to populations after famines.

Society is never more than a few hungry days from collapse. This could very well push America closer to that.

In my opinion not Onion level, but better than I expect from Hard Times.

I've lived in the US my whole life and never had one. Thinking back through all the dorms and apartments, my friend's houses, my mom's house through multiple kitchen renovations... My grandma has one but that's the only one I can think of.

Maybe it's more common on the West Coast?

Given that Musk seems hell-bent on becoming the villain from every piece of science fiction ever, I kind of expect him to keep fire departments around but have them start fires.

Why do you think there is one?

Why does this feel like misogynist incel nonsense?

So these people are advocating for defending the police and military then, right?

Honestly the easier solution is that my mom just doesn't get pictures unless they're printed out.

The regular people seem to be using the word "oligarch" pretty often nowadays. Maybe he needs to actually talk to some regular people?

Slow-paced turn-based games exist and can be excruciating to play through. The worst offender in my mind is Pokemon Gen 4- it feels like playing in sand.
