They wouldn't regardless. The congressional GOP has his spray-tan dick so far down their throats, they'd rather choke to death than admit the emperor has no clothes.

If we ever had hard proof of insider knowledge, my money is on SCOTUS. Both because it's easier to buy a branch of government by colluding with five useful idiots, and because there's a GOAT on the SCOTUS staff who leaks their bullshit to the public.

They can make it as equal as they want--IF they actually align the standards to the fitness needs of each job. But then they might have to admit that office work doesn't require an 8 minute mile.

It's the gish gallop of presidencies.

I'm a non-human who would absolutely love to be building shit while talking during therapy instead of using a fidget toy while avoiding eye contact because looking at someone looking at me and being vulnerable at the same time is NOT IT for me (yet).

My therapist says she takes a bare minimum of notes because she understands the fear people have of private info getting leaked. Maybe someone worried about that could ask about their notes process during the therapist-finding stage.

Then you and I are both odd because that sounds fascinating.

How about both? I'm always down for access to education.

It was an awesome rover robot for tinkering and introducing kids to technology! Wish there were more versions of hardware like that.

I had these once. It was psychologically terrible. If you already struggle with sleep or mental health, you're going to have a very bad time living there while you treat the place.

I saw some good advice in the comments as far as diatomaceous earth and freezing. Make sure you look up the actual temps things will need to get to. I recall baking my clothing in my oven at 110 F, or something like that, before leaving the apartment every day so I wouldn't spread them. Ugh.

I ended up throwing out most of my stuff, bagging up anything I wanted to keep but didn't need to access for ~6 months (or whatever their lifespan is) into tightly tied garbage bags with diatomaceous earth inside, and for the remaining possessions, I heated them or sprayed the shit out of their cracks (like wood furniture) with bedbug spray.

Just assume your stuff is infested and treat anything that was in there with you. Don't fuck around. Go full nuclear on your shit after you move out. It's the only way you'll be able to sleep soundly for years.

Best of luck to you. I really hope your living situation gets better. I think I saw your fallback option was loud. I sleep with an earbud in whichever ear isn't smooshed into my pillow. I also recommend those white noise machines that have an actual fan inside (or just a loud-ass fan lol). Even if it doesn't drown out all the noise, it'll cut out a lot and it'll be easier for your brain to tune out stuff. Maybe that's something you can try.

That's my first choice, personally, and if she wins the primaries, that'd be awesome.

Otherwise, I could still get pretty hyped about a Walz/AOC ticket, which would pave a more conventional path to a 2032 AOC presidential run.
