      The thing about RBG is that she's clearly incredibly selfish and arrogant. If she wasn't, she would have retired in 2013.

      this fucking moron to officiate an in-person wedding during a world historical old person-murdering disease is fucking next level and I am legitimately angry about it

    There was a show where Jaimie Oliver went into people's homes in the US and criticized them for eating frozen food. As if they had the labor available to cook a full meal for 5 people, and the access to fresh fruits, vegetables, and proteins.

      At first I read that as "John Oliver," which would have been awkwardly hilarious...

      In all seriousness though- for most vegetables, nutritional quality isn't diminished by the freezing process, and cooking from frozen decreases food waste. Frozen vegetables also are made up of the produce that's too ugly to sell fresh, so where would those go in the absence of a market for frozen foods?

      Areas with higher levels of poverty are more likely to be food deserts, but for other factors, such as vehicle availability and use of public transportation, the association with food desert status varies across very dense urban areas, less dense urban areas, and rural areas.

      Areas with higher poverty rates are more likely to be food deserts regard- less of rural or urban designation. This result is especially true in very dense urban areas where other population characteristics such as racial composition and unemployment rates are not predictors of food desert status because they tend to be similar across tracts.

      In all but very dense urban areas, the higher the percentage of minority population, the more likely the area is to be a food desert.

      Residents in the Northeast are less likely to live far from a store than their counterparts in other regions of the country with similar income levels.

    Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.

      The problem with the show is that this message is not coherently applied across the rest of the series and devolves into libshit

          Okay, I read that story and I would really like someone elses opinion on it because I don't get the overall message if there is one. In the end Geralt did choose what he viewed as a lesser evil...right?

      I love when people respond "BuT hE eNdS uP cHoOsInG a LeSsEr EvIl!" when in the story he screws up by panicking and choosing a lesser evil when if he'd stuck to his guns he wouldn't have had to

      White!' he sneered. 'It serves as a beginning. White cloth may be dyed. The white page can be overwritten; and the white light can be broken.'

      In which case it is no longer white,' said I. 'And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'

    lesser evil voting in 2024: the guy who is forcing you to push a rock up a hill everyday or the bird that eats your liver every day. Choose carefully. Only one of them is going to restore the soul of America.

    Wow, a cow made of butter. My girls would love it. In fact, the first sentence Caroline ever said was "I like butter"

    That so many people in positions of power are making it more difficult and more dangerous to be a "protestor" means we're scaring them. We outnumber them and our cause is just. ✊

    Shit happened in Burlington, Vermont last night. We were marching down a fairly major street, blocking it off on the way from our rally back to the encampment when a group of Nazis arrived at the front and began shouting shit, threatening to kill us. I didn't get a good look at them, but they arrived in a truck and could have been armed.

    The situation escalated and the cops showed up from behind, effectively boxing us in. We all had to get low to the ground and split up, one group holding the line against the Nazis, the other against the cops. According to folks in the back, the cops were shouting stuff like "Can't you get it through your heads? You need to let us through, the people up front have guns!", pretty clearly trying to intimidate us into breaking up and getting out of the street. Thankfully, the situation was somehow deescalated and everyone made it back safely without letting the cops through. Terrifying situation that's only a drop in what's going on in the US. Had the best fucking cig of my life after all that.
