Why does the towel look like it has been used by an entire family?

Basically correct. Growing up my only option was medical school, apparently. I got so burnt out I am still fucked from it.

I don’t know, plenty of people achieve progressive change all the time. Lots of examples of politicians and lawmakers from all over the world for this.

OP brings up a good point, I am stoked to discuss.

It’s not just pesticides. You can get residual germs from bad agricultural practices, which is why we get E. coli and listeria outbreaks from vegetables.

Cats are cute, but I have dog person energy. I just want to play and go do stuff with doggy, and dogs enable that!

Is it starting from the left or the right? Because if it goes right to left, then she came from work. If it’s from left to right, then she’s starting work. Or non work related head canon: starting from either direction, she’s just a fun qt.

American schools don’t have a worse bullying problem than schools in other countries, according to this article. Other countries have at least 4X fewer gun ownership rate, article. I think the U.S. really needs better gun control, while maintaining the right to bear arms.

To me Bards are all about using charisma to avoid fights, or create distractions while the rest of the party does the important work.

Don’t worry, it’s a U.S. election year so I am sure things will be chill and uneventful going forward.

Go ask your local elected officials if they can change a tire and how was work today.

What does this have to do with anything? I get that you’re talking about relating to the common experience, but that doesn’t have anything to with being able to govern. Don’t know if you’re American, but here we had the Tea Party at one time (the precursor of MAGA, in a way), so basically your MTG and Boebert types. These types of people can relate to the common experience quite well, but that doesn’t give them with any sense on how to effectively be part of legislature, so their default is being asinine attention seekers. There are plenty of people who have common roots who are just as terrible in their thinking as any elite. What matters I think is how well someone can empathize and think beyond party lines because at the end of it that’s what’s required to get things done.

I am sorry, but some journalists are the best people you’ll ever meet, ditto for lawyers. You can get a really great sense of systems level thinking as both a journalist and lawyer, less so as a homemaker. Conversely, some of the most ardent assholes are store clerks and plumbers. Let’s not make unnecessary stereotypes, there’s enough of that already. Assholes come in all flavors, and thinking just because someone did a 9-5 doesn’t make them an asshole is a mistake.

Ah okay, fair! I guess I read incorrectly. I also don’t think you mean that’s the only important criterion for measuring someone’s ability to effectively serve in government. I read things a little literally, that’s my problem ^^
