If you can't put aside your differences to fight a common enemy, you'll lose.
You're absolutely correct here. It's just that Democrats and Republicans have spent the last forty years putting aside their differences to fight leftists.

Ah, the old "people who play golf live longer" when it turns out that people who can afford a country club membership also have the money for better healthcare options.
Many states have closed primary elections prior to the general election. So three or four candidates from the same party are campaigning against each other for the right to be the candidate in the general election, and the only people that can vote in this preliminary election are registered party members.
That 55% figure has been true of New York for decades. The ubiquity of public transit has historically offset the costs: since people aren't making car payments, the portion of their income that would go to that gets spread across other spending.
I would be more interested to see figures in more car-oriented areas for a better apples-to-apples.
In case Google incorrectly identifies someone as under 18, users can submit a photo of their government ID or a selfie to verify their age.
So Google is going to incorrectly identify damn near everyone as a minor now, right?
Most companies have been taking it on the chin for now: eating the cost of the tariffs and taking a reduced profit to maintain prices and help foster consumer confidence while they wait and see how all the tariff negotiations actually play out.
With regards to the original question, inflation is measured across all consumer purchasing. So prices on goods (groceries, cars, computing hardware, etc) can increase significantly, but if the price on services (Netflix, restaurants, laundromats, etc) stays relatively flat, inflation ends up looking better than it feels.
Do we think these payment processors are running their own call centers? Seems more likely that they're contracting the work out, and those firms just aren't going to get their contracts renewed.
So don't get tattoos of things you like. There's plenty of reasons to get tattoos beyond just "beautiful expression."
I know a guy who got his wife's phone number tattooed on his foot, just in case he ever doesn't have his phone on him.
My brother got "Ouch" on the inside of his lip because it was funny.
My wife has multiple tattoos of bullshit flash because the artist offered to do them for free and she likes the way getting a tattoo feels.
If you want a tattoo, just get a tattoo. If you truly end up hating it down the road, plenty of artists specialize in cover-ups.
John Darnielle is my must-read list. Wolf in White Van was absolutely captivating to me when it came out. I was late reading Universal Harvester, but when I finally did, it literally made me gasp out loud at some of the most horror. And so I decided to lock in and never miss a new drop again. His last book was a day-one buy that I loved, and now I'm just waiting for him to announce something else.
Seeing this question asked is sort of sad. Did this become a less common experience? What killed it?
I'm almost forty and regularly hosted parties like this all through high school. So mileage must vary.
I've literally had my home broken into and stuff stolen from it. It was the one time in my life that I ever called the police. They trampled through my place, made a mess and broke more things, and then decided I was reporting a suspicious amount of electronics and accused me of trying to do some kind of insurance fraud.
Fuck cops.
As someone working in manufacturing and trying to change companies, I really feel this. This time last year, I was the belle of the ball, with recruiters blowing my phone up to try to poach me. Now, everyone I talk to is in a hiring freeze.
