I think Republicans use spoilers when there's something somewhat unpopular but it's gonna pass anyways. Like if there are 54 would-be votes for something in the Senate but it's a controversial issue, you can expect a no vote from Collins, Romney, Murkowski so it passes 51-49 and they can look better to their constituency. If it's closer than that, they rotate who votes no, but the three of them never actually block anything

Tough race between r/Seattle and r/Portland

Parenti stopped being friends with Bernie after the Kosovo vote afaik

Do you have any other recs for like animated sci-fi shows aimed at older audiences like this, especially ones with leftist themes? I enjoyed watching Pantheon and want to find more vaguely similar media

I don't know enough about how "loss prevention" works to say this is foolproof but if you bring a personal shopping cart in and pack your groceries into that, it's easy to fit a few more things that you just forgot to pay for at the self checkout...

(My only concern with this is because you're stealing some things and buying others, if they see it happen on cameras they can figure out who did it based off your membership or payment details)

Not sure if you're referring to my comments, but I don't care at all about grocery stores and I'm happy to steal non-BDS items from them. My concern with stealing BDS items is that the company being boycotted often still makes the money if it was stolen as if it were bought.

Steal BDS items from Costco, not other grocery stores. Get your SodaStream and Coke and Sabra hummus from them

I'm pretty sure the grocery store in most cases takes the hit on the stolen item and they'd just buy more to replace it as if it were purchased. Of course if enough people steal it, the grocery store might not restock it. Costco is the notable exception; they don't actually own the product in their store AFAIK

My understanding is that for most grocery stores, you're stealing from the grocery store. They're responsible for theft and stuff like food going bad. However, if enough people steal a certain brand, the store might stop carrying it.

I think the notable exception to this is Costco, where Costco never actually owns the stock in the store; it's the brand's until you buy it.

(Also ADHD, maybe undiagnosed autism) This is so relatable, I've been getting very good at restructuring sentences mid-speech because I forget the exact word I'm looking for. Either that, or my brain hyperfixates on remembering the specific word I was looking for and I interrupt myself to try and get my conversation partner to help me remember the word I was looking for.

Have you seen that TikTok video that was like a 3 way split screen of Yellow Parenti, someone playing Subway Surfers, and one of those visual ASMR videos? We need to make more of that type of content

/r/trueanon is probably on the shit list unfortunately, gonna miss those nerds
