I am a big fan of sparkling wine, and one of my favorite mid-range bottles (of legit champagne) is Veuve. A cheaper option I enjoy is Friexent’s Blac de Blancs.

At least in my area, the prices have stayed pretty static. Whiskies that I enjoy have gone up, some more than others. The drop in alcohol sales definitely makes sense when it comes to this change, but I don’t necessarily believe that rising prices of champagne and sparkling wine is entirely at fault here.

Added to cart. Thank you!

I used a kit from TestClear to successfully pass a drug screening for my current job last year. It was simple to use, and it came with everything I needed to covertly use it. It’s not synthetic urine, but dried actual urine.

If you have any questions about the process, please let me know. I’d be happy to help.

Oh lord, we’re all suffering in some way. You don’t get to have a pity party and get manipulative when someone says something that challenges your self destructive and toxic beliefs. If you’re so fragile in the face of having your viewpoints challenged, then you certainly came to an interesting space.

Why do you expect things around you to change if you’re not willing to make changes yourself?

It is, but you’re being obtuse. You don’t want to make the effort for whatever reason. Maybe it’s fear. Regardless, when it comes to struggles, choosing to do nothing and suffer is an active choice. You’re not a passenger in your own life, and not waiting for someone else to come along and provide direction is the only way you’re going to get anywhere new.

It’s okay to feel the feelings, but ruminating isn’t going to solve this problem.

Exactly. I believe Halloween decor spending has been catching up to Christmas decor spending, but some people get particularly touchy about Christmas. People just want some joy. No, it shouldn’t have to be associated with purchasing, but many people have more money than time to invest in creating the ambience they want. There are so many more important things to get worked up about than people spending money on things that make them happy.

American IV was a powerful album of covers. We’ll Meet Again makes me cry every time. He’s talking directly to his wife, and you can feel the fear and despair behind his words as he’s comforting and reassuring her as she’s dying. Ugh, feels for Christmas this year it is.

Nah, friend. Opinions are different from scientific facts, even if you believe them super, super hard. In case you aren’t allergic to education, enjoy!

Ooo, gaslighting. Another word you don’t understand. Keep going. I’m so close.

Okay, I don’t agree with the emotional concept that a fetus is a person innately, but I can at least understand where that type of thinking comes from. Claiming it’s a fully-developed human is just demonstrably wrong. You’re entitled to your opinion, but feelings aren’t facts. I sincerely hope this is a sad attempt at trolling.

Honestly? I’ll take the coverage however we can get it. I am a frequent NPR listener, and some of their more niche programs are covering this with sincerity. Let’s keep the conversation going.

Bish, bye.

If the coyote was trapped and I intentionally set my dog on it, then yes. I couldn’t fault the poor thing for defending itself.

She’s dead, so this only deepens my curiosity.

Who in the sweet fuck is boning to Barry Manilow?!

You have great reaction memes, and I’m shamelessly harvesting them.

I am so here for this.

Universal healthcare, including gender affirming care! Abortion rights! Freedom of, and from, religion!

You will be well rewarded with a quality product, too! It’s so good, even my MAGA mother in law is on their mailing list. If you enjoy the essay About Republicans, you’ll likely also love their emails. They have great sales, too. The weekend before the election they offered half off almost everything in their stores if you mentioned the promotion, and I got a free coffee mug, sticker, and sample product. They offered me two mugs because my partner came with me, but I didn’t want to be greedy.
