I played so much nerts in college. I was terrible at it due to the frenetic rate of play, but it was fun. It's the reason I have like 8 packs of playing cards haha.

That's a lot of selective interpreting right there, lol.

I don't have the time or want to unravel everything - I'm only sharing evidence that good things are happening amidst all the doom and gloom, and they're typically lead by Democrats.

That's a strange line of reasoning to discourage voting. I just got my mail in ballot, I'll probably be dropping it off the next time I have a day off.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your point. Can you clarify?

Do the Democrats have unilateral control at the federal level? Seems far from that to me.

Also worth pointing out that it's not third party candidates or Republicans passing these state policies. It's democrats.

So I know it's nice to doompost, but there certainly are good things to look for.

Some states are working towards making education more available. New Mexico has free tuition, period.

Rampant inflation for food, housing, and utilities with no end in sight

We're almost back to historical norms for inflation.

Cops are still killing at will, and cop cities are becoming a thing

Some states have removed qualified immunity for cops.

Now that's a bold and uninformed take.

I explained here, but that's why I prefer using the right-hand-rule. Sometimes thinking about clockwise in strange frame of references hurts my little brain.

Oh God I hate those sneaky left-thread bastards lol.

It's especially helpful when you're looking at screws (or nuts!) from the back or any other weird frame of reference.

I use the right hand rule - ball up your fist with your thumb sticking out, and turning in the direction of your fingers curling will result in the screw going the rest your thumb points.
