I mean, what the Hell have we been doing for the last 3 years? Journalists, historians, and other folks have really been ringing this bell since 2016, and started ringing it louder on January 6, 2021. You can only scream the truth so loudly, and hand-wringing that people "aren't talking about it enough" when it has been said publicly by high-profile folks for years seems disingenuous and written to generate clicks.

Yeah, we know. We keep saying it. Stop trying to make it seem like you're the only one who has the chutzpah to say it out loud.

Or in Iowa in 2023......

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

But...that is the common definition of "food desert."

"A food desert is an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food."

I realize the article has issues, but the definition has sources cited for its common usage. If you don't like the definition, fine, but it's a definite term for a defined phenomenon. You don't get to pretend the phenomenon doesn't exist because the term isn't perfect...

mental health issues exploded

Because people actually had time to realize how fucked things were, instead of being corralled into the office every day like cattle.

I mean, there may be some truth to that, but we cannot deny the damaging effects isolation had on people. Not to say that isolation was not extended exponentially by malicious actions and incompetence, but the isolation caused many of the mental health issues (which also means those who did what they were supposed to best suffered most, which really sucks).

That's now in my Google search history, so thanks for that...

No love for "H"? (I know it didn't appear until the Gameboy game, but I basically exclusively play Contra III, so...)

Depends on if it's a credit to redeemed later or an immediate thing...

...or like "start prepping the moment you get home for the next one" sort of thing...

Could be pretty okay if you need regular colonoscopy, or it could be Hell; depends on the timing.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't care any how many "balls to the chin" she takes. She's an adult, now an unmarried adult; if she wants to line 'em up and go to town, more power to her. Go nuts, lady.

It's the hypocrisy, positioning herself as hyper-moral and a righteous judge of the sexuality of others, and the public nature (with minors close-by) of this sex act. With that, I also hate her for participating in the destruction of democracy in the United States and other awfulness she perpetrates as a representative.

Go nuts, lady; get your freak on. But stop being a hypocrite about it, and stop making the United States worse.
