I'm playing through "Fable: Anniversary" right now, and the nostalgia is like a drug.

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

Or in Iowa in 2023......

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

But...that is the common definition of "food desert."

"A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food."

I realize the article has issues, but the definition has sources cited for its common usage. If you don't like the definition, fine, but it's a definite term for a defined phenomenon. You don't get to pretend the phenomenon doesn't exist because the term isn't perfect...

mental health issues exploded

Because people actually had time to realize how fucked things were, instead of being corralled into the office every day like cattle.

I mean, there may be some truth to that, but we cannot deny the damaging effects isolation had on people. Not to say that isolation was not extended exponentially by malicious actions and incompetence, but the isolation caused many of the mental health issues (which also means those who did what they were supposed to best suffered most, which really sucks).

Depends on if it's a credit to redeemed later or an immediate thing...

...or like "start prepping the moment you get home for the next one" sort of thing...

Could be pretty okay if you need regular colonoscopy, or it could be Hell; depends on the timing.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't care any how many "balls to the chin" she takes. She's an adult, now an unmarried adult; if she wants to line 'em up and go to town, more power to her. Go nuts, lady.

It's the hypocrisy, positioning herself as hyper-moral and a righteous judge of the sexuality of others, and the public nature (with minors close-by) of this sex act. With that, I also hate her for participating in the destruction of democracy in the United States and other awfulness she perpetrates as a representative.

Go nuts, lady; get your freak on. But stop being a hypocrite about it, and stop making the United States worse.

Ummm, no....

Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, Rupert Murdoch owns Fox (and does not own Warner Bros Discovery).

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.

My 2¢: kdenlive works (worked; been a few years) shockingly well for being free without a commerical version. It's not polished or fancy like commercial solutions, and it has had stability issues, but it really does work. Someone better than me could get professional results out of it.
