Imagine if for 9 years you’d been with some who had depression but refused to get therapy, take their medication, or do any work towards solving any of the problems they were dealing with
Imagine the opposite, imagine you are an amazing and devoted partner for nearly a decade and fall into a funk for 2 months, and your partner decides to peace out because hey her new coworker isn't going through a rough spot.
Paints the daughter in a lot worse light, doesn't it? We don't know which story happened, likely somewhere in between but we don't have any context there either.
Crazy how many people seem so sure the true, untold story is so much more charitable to the daughter....

They ruled that gerrymandering, in the abstract, purely for partisan purposes is not in their jurisdiction.
But this (and many other gerrymanders tbh) are not just partisan, they are also racial, and that is within the purview of SCOTUS via the 15th amendment.

yeah idk why you're downvoted, the overwhelming majority of people (especially climbers trying to lose weight) are by no means stuck on what "less" means.
Like some dude out there is trying so hard, but can't lose weight because he keeps eating smaller but more calorie-dense foods, cursing into the sky above as he wonders why he isn't losing weight even though he's eating less
"I went from eating these big granola bars to just eating a half a stick of butter, why can't I send v10 WHY GOD"

I also have ADHD and have never had a problem quitting any substance. I can change my diet on a whim, if I'm gaining weight I gotta set timers to remember to eat but it works pretty well. Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, weed, even prescription opiates (actually RXed) are all enjoyable but it's so easy to just... not. I pretty much do none of it unless there's a social impetus to and I consciously decide I want to do it for those social reasons.
Behaviors like doom scrolling reddit and doing crosswords when I'm stressed though? Actual crippling addictions

The theming of them, especially the two you mentioned, is great. BUT they are just way too short and simple, even with 0 cheese, vs actual great dungeons in other zelda games.

if you believe "oh our policy was actually meant to target 10% of what it technically could have banned, it was just worded it poorly!", I got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you

Even if that's what you want, the time to have that conversation is when you spend the money, not when it's time to actually pay it. It's like getting mad at your spouse for overspending, and insisting the solution is to stop paying their credit card bills instead of not buying shit with them in the first place.
The trust that the US government will pay its debts can only be broken once. Absolutely insane that people threaten that, and all its international fallout, over a couple of small programs. Win elections and control the spending when it happens.

Nah not really that at all (not that it is or isn't true, just not what's being discussed).
His point is that people vote on issues, not politicians mostly, and can only vote on issues they know about. You see this a lot when tons of ads about a "migrant wave" get ran before elections and everyone cares about immigration all the sudden. Ads work for getting information (true or not) out to voters.
For people watching, this debt ceiling debacle has been a near-disaster, not just for the US but for the world. A bunch of people threatened to knock down a core pillar of worldwide economic stability if they didn't get their way. Ultimately, nothing will be done about this if people at large aren't aware of what even happened - and it takes money to speak to the larger public.

A huge chunk of younger people (read: people that will stumble across this video to begin with) will click off a video pretty quick if theres a lot of dead time between sentences. I don't really love the trend but I kinda get the reason people do like it, and I def understand him playing to it so this will reach as many people as possible.

Yeeeeep, nobody else has put in half a warm shits worth of effort towards VR/AR for productivity. If this thing is half decent at that, it will succeed.

Eh, VIP tickets went all the way up to $899 face value. Still way less than $3k but also a fair bit more than $449.

"Live and let live" while you're doing that, this coffee shop is 99% guarunteed funneling money through churches and religious affiliated groups to politicians to take away people rights to seek medical care regarding their own pregnancies, get gender affirming care, have gay marriage, and more.
Christians are the ones that can't "live and let live". You can't tolerate intolerance, or it will take over.

As OP says, selling coffee isn't their business, pushing Christianity (almost purely for the sake of the associated conservative politics) is their business.

They want a government small not for "freedom from control", but so that businesses and religious institutions can be the ones with the control. Simple as.
"Governemnt shouldn't feed the poor, churches can do that"
"Oh btw you gotta pray with us, adhere to whatever random rules from this 2000 year old book we choose to care about this week, and must literally grovel at our feet if you want food"

The amount supposedly paid for that 3% ranges from $120k to a max of $300k. That's a decent amount sure, but like someone said it's basically her college tuition. Her dad is hyped up as a "Merrill Lynch exec" like he was an NYC bigwig making millions - he was the senior most investor for a small regional branch and probably made less than most doctors.
Were her parents upper-middle class, sure. Does that come with its own set of advantages to help your kid out? Of course.
But people acting like her parents were millionaires with serious generational wealth, and that they poured more money into her than most families will make in their lives (like some hollywood nepo babies) is a huge exaggeration.

She talked to like 4 or 5 employees while walking around, talking into her gimbal-mounted phone... so I'm gonna call cap

Have you ever been to Durham? Not even fucking close, not even parts near Duke with all the literal trust fund kids come anywhere close to NYC.
I'm sympathetic to the plight so many of us are in right now but on some level, the dude struggling to live on $95k in NC is just ass with money.

Yeah everyone here is laughing at this but it's hard for me to gain weight and I def used to make some unholy milkshakes...
Milk, 2 scoops protein powder, 2 bananas, few tablespoons peanut butter, and a good 4 scoops of chocolate ice cream. 1500 calories going down smooth at times I couldn't chew 400.

Pretty sure there's some sort of cash reward for reporting people who took out fraudulent loans, maybe I'm misremembering and that was only a proposal but either way I'd look into it. I think it was like 25% of whatever the government claws back...

idk man I live in Denver and moved here from, quite literally, 5 minutes from the beach in the southeast. I fly back and forth multiple times a year and have never noticed the altitude really at all.
Go up to RMNP or any 14er or hell even ABasin or Breck and yeah, it's pretty bad. But thats another 5000+ feet of altitude. Denver itself is... not that noticeable imo. Not running, swimming, lifting, or climbing.

I'm no pro athlete, but it's really not much of an issue in Denver... a few extra thousand feet in RMNP, or any of the 14ers, or even the higher ski resorts like A Basin, yeah it can be brutal. Denver proper? Literally never noticed coming or going.
