Her VP candidate came out against trans athletes and wants a national abortion ban

This guy reminds me of every bullshit artist grifter from "Oak Cliff" (actually Duncanville) I met from the New Age movement in the 1980s. Like if you're so deep in the culture, how come you spend all your time at meditation/holistic wellness centers doing crystal shit with middle aged white women from Highland Park?

No Chili's in one of the 4 New York City boroughs we claim (Staten Island does not count). Closest other that SI are Long Island or NJ. 

I'll just imbibe in my own house.

I don’t know if there are any Chili’s in Taipei but… I’ll down a bowl of beef noodle soup and several pork belly baos in solidarity next week. 

You'll need to deep fry it all first.

Location of Kamala’s rally & concert in Pittsburgh tomorrow is changing at the last minute. Local news said the location was deemed to be unsafe after secret service viewed the setup and had to be moved.

It was supposed to be at point state park. I was somewhat surprised at the location given the amount of exposure in pretty much every direction especially from mount Washington.

Love this photo.

I went to Dubuque and back last month and was surprised by the amount of Harris/Walz stuff and relative lack of Trump stuff going across and back on 20 and 30. I’d also like to note there is a difference in attitude between livestock guys and grain guys because of the labor difference, and 2020 showed them what happens when kill capacity goes away because you can’t store a fat hog or ready steer.

Did the “Hell is for Deadbeat Moms” Guy on 20 still have all his shit up?

That was always a highlight of my Ames to Cedar Falls commute when the wife and I first started dating.

I mean…this. You answered your own question as you asked it, Bozo.

Oh, and on the dating app thing sorted by politics and challenges in matching…stupid fucking men are on a spiral. By being super-Trumpy, they are self-selecting for “3/4 of women won’t date me.” Then…they become enraged when…3/4 of women won’t date them.
For fuck sake, it’s so goddamned easy. Want to be attractive to women? Start by not being UNATTRACTIVE to women. If women are telling you “we’d like to meet someone who’s not an asshole,” maybe you should engage in just a tiny bit of self-improvement and not be a giant flaming asshole.
I mean, obviously, this advice is not for Surly posters, all of whom have managed to find a way to make assholery charming and seductive to the fairer sex.

Every once in a while, I'll see a thread on reddit where women are discussing dates they went on and discovered the dude is a magatard. Could cull the best of 'em and make it a book - hilarious stuff.

What?! 

You must be taking about "local" farmers that pretty much live off their own. 

Company farmers have been pushing for handles my whole life... Big or small, when the weather doesn't cooperate, they look for a handout. When price of inputs spike naturally, they want a handout (via price controls).

When John Deere puts billions into R&D and tried to recoup that cost, they want a handout (via calling Deere monopolistic price gougers).

Corporate (big or small) Farmers are like everyone else: looking out for #1. 

And how many large, independent farms are left? Very few.

I agree with BOTH of you regarding bigger operations.

In the initial discussions, I stipulated I was talking about small farmers.

I am pair bonded and in my 40s. Not to derail the thread, but dating apps have cooked the younger generations, it’s low-key Balkanized between the sexes. 
 

Lots of people finding out the hard way that women are very choosy about who they go on a date with and men who can get dates are very choosy about who they will marry.  Recipe for heartbreak. 
 

Honestly the blind date and set-up is a much better way to do things; people who see you from the outside but want the best for you are going to be a better judge of who you might get along with and realistically match with than you are.

I went yesterday for the first time in about that long.  Southwest egg rolls were as good as I remembered, Oldtimer was better than I was expecting.  Kind of steep price for regular grub, but worth it for the good vibes it brought with the Selzer poll.  Will do again when VP whoops the dotard's ass for real.

I ate there yesterday as well.  Chips and salsa, burger and fries, and 2 beers.  Out for under 20 bucks, and that includes an iced tea to go.
