I mean, I use Discord pretty much every day, and that's what I assumed.

Oh, and Dunsany! Can't believe I forgot him.

They're both mass-market pulp that are entertaining to read. There's plenty of sci-fi and fantasy that's literature: Ursula LeGuin, Tolkien, Gene Wolfe, NK Jemisin, Vonnegut... the list goes on.

I mean, it's Tom Clancy. It's a fun read, like Dan Brown or Brandon Sanderson, but it's not literature or anything.

People worry about conservatives just having more kids but realistically they work lower end jobs and don’t have money for that. Imagine raising 3-4 kids in this economy, not many will do that.

I suspect there are a lot of corpos voting red, especially once you get to the C-suite. I don't think it does any favors to anyone to assume that Trump's sweep was just the redneck vote.

Oregon here. Black or blue pen, in the comfort of your own home. Ballots get mailed out weeks ahead of time to everyone in the state, then you can pop them in the mail or bike over to the local library or wherever your closest dropbox is. Ranked choice voting for Portland for the first time this year, too.

It sounds like you should be doing the shopping when you want to do the cooking.

I've found the $5 a month tier to be just about right. There have been a few months I've gone over, but they make that super easy to deal with: they just change the subscription renewal date and you start your next month a few days early.

FYI "mouth breather" predates the setting of Stranger Things by decades. It's also not about manipulatively forcing them to deny it: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/508300/mouth-breathing-as-slang-for-stupidity

I don't remember who said it first, but I've linked it before: there's no paradox if tolerance is a social contact rather than an ethic. If someone breaks the terms of the contact, then the other party is not bound by it any more.
