There’s statistics about voting rates amongst single, married and divorced women in the USA. Married women are the most conservative mostly due to age skew) followed by the other two. I can’t remember if single or divorced leans more liberal but there’s a big gap

Yeah. There are tons of gross examples out there.

Because your enemy is whatever you want it to be, and because your values are whatever you want them to be, you alone get to decide when you’ve won. You can declare victory at any time, for any reason. This conveniently fits your insecurity-based need to feel like a winner.

I feel this so much with the definition of “woke” it means nothing and everything at the same time. Just a general vibe of something they hate. Similar to socialism.

Exactly. It depends on the context of the situation.

I think one of the great things about Pride events and parades now is the celebration of human sexuality by everyone at it. Everyone is looking their best and celebrating that. Whether they are queer or not.

This is classic sex negativity through the Madonna-Whore Complex where women are either “pure” virgin mothers or dirty whores. This is an old problem that still lingers. I remember my formative years in the Britney Spear, Man show raunchy period. I did enjoy portions of it at the time as a straight young man but even then I felt exploitative and forced. In hindsight it was really messed up for both men and women and especially women,

The right can’t claim any credit for the current more sex and body positive post #metoo world. People should be allowed to be both objectified if they want to be or not if they don’t want to be. This is true for everyone and can change day to day. The current climate is showing both a kinder objectification of women when they choose to be as well as objectification of men. As a men is actually refreshing and satisfying to see men treated like objects in media. Its good to see a balance in both sexes. That was never part of the rights agenda where men are only held as success objects.

We want a future where both men and women can be valued for their mind, body and souls. We want sexy outfits in videogames for men and women (and everything in between). We want men and women CEOs, scientists and leaders who are valued for their mind. This is not the future the right wants and a sexy women isn’t the antithesis of this. Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie being attractive and great actresses is part of this future. The same way that Chris Pine and Idris Elba can be sex symbols and great actors even in the same film. Ignore the rights stealing of something that had no hand in. Reject sex negativity

Seriously. Its great to hear a clear answer on abortion for once from anyone really.

Still better.

Not only that I’m sure they are making close to minimum wage. Raise that and families might make enough to not need to have their children need to work

I love having physical books for most things. It’s just the little things like exact spell wordings around needing to see a target or components. Same with exact languages of class features for edge cases.

I always use my books for prep and when I’m running my character. When DMing it’s nice to have a quick reference

It’s a totally different game to play. But it’s great for players to have all the rules on the official website.

I love being able to find all rules online for quick reference, but Pathfinder has always had this for free. I will still get books because it’s more fun to read and keep.

That’s true but lot of work. Still not worth buying another copy.

(I did this for the digital only content from Dragon’s of Icespire Peak)

The part it made worse is having to purchase things twice. Either physical book or as part of the VTT. I do only book and copy everything in. Worth it for me but you can lose your digital everything

Never baking. That is different from cooking

Cooking is much easier than it looks. Recipes are just suggestions and after looking at enough of them the commonalities to play around with it

Linkedin is the only worthwhile social media. Just ignore the feed and just use it to connect with recruiters.

Tree of Heaven can go to Hell!!!

Cultural shift for sure. What I have found is there have been decades of old hippies working on making things ready for millennials to jump on and convincing their friends to get to this point.

Not all exotics (those not from the Americas) would be considered invasive (those that threaten an area). Most weeds are really good at conditioning the soil and if left to decompose on the locations they grew can be great at building the soil. Pulling anything without putting something to replace it is a fools errand. Also everything that is exotic isn’t bad. White clover is European in origin and a great grass replacement. Also note that some common weeds such as the dandelion are listed as European in origin but there is significant evidence it was all present in North America.

Also make sure you keep some exotics to support the exotic bees such as the honey bee which are from Europe. If you live in an urban or semi-urban environment this is basically a new biome and will need to be treated as such. a Nice mix of things that play well together and are function for you is the best method

My neighborhood is showing a transition into gardens and native plants. Its interesting that it seems to be happening with both older (retired) neighbors and newer (young children) neighbors. Its helps that the local garden centers have been doing lots of natives and grass replacements.

Quick shout out to Prairie Moon to buy your seeds. Fall seeding is great for natives
