Fuck this noise, go vote.

Y'all need to accept at this point conservatives who support Trump do not give a shit. They don't care if they come across as hypocrites. They are not acting in good faith and there are literally no consequences for them. Your only weapon at this point is to vote and crush them so resoundingly in the polls that they realise they are not the new normal and the majority does not respect them.

Oh yes, but that needs to be first on the list for sure.

Edit: on second thought, make it last on the list. It tells more of a story.

I'd add a couple of things to that list:

  • Duct tape
  • Rope
  • Burlap bag
  • Shovel
  • Condom

No idea, but I hate/hate the tree of life. If you do go watch it and you love/hate it, let me know so I know to avoid it lol

Is it a beautiful abstract mess in the same vein as The Tree of Life by Terrence Malik, or Under the Skin by Jonathan Glazer? Because if it is, I think I'll skip it. To each his/her/their own!

This is impossible to guarantee or control for. Birds migrate, you never know who might make a pitstop at your feeder. I've spotted birds that were so far off their normal range it created a buzz in the local birding community. There's a non-zero chance something endangered or at least very rare could stop by your feeder.

If you're worried about making sure your cat gets enough stimulation there are a lot of articles and tips on things you can do that require little effort on your part (like, even a cardboard box full of crumpled paper can do the job).

I live in a country where parental leave doesn't discriminate between mothers and fathers (or one parent or another if it's a same sex couple). Parental leave can be up to two years BUT it's split into 75% for one parent, 25% for the other. I have yet to meet a man who has taken even a fraction of that 25% (aside from the paternal leave right after the baby is born, which is separate and covers a few weeks). This isn't to say it's an issue with men, but more an issue of a society that dissuades men from taking more than the bare minimum of parental leave, where women are still expected to take one the main caregiver role for children, and where men generally earn more than women. Until these issues are fixed and men are highly encouraged to take parental leave, just making that time available (even if a necessary first step) won't be enough.

Edit: got my percentages wrong

Yeah Combogesic is an example of combined ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Advil also makes a combo of the two as well. The main issue to keep track of what you're taking and take care that you don't exceed the daily dose for each. That's something to watch out for whether you take them separately or in combination with one another.

As I said lower down, you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It's advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What detrimental "synergistic effects" are you talking about?

Where have you been told this? Are you perhaps confusing acetaminophen for something else? Doctors will tell you that you can take ibuprofen and acetaminophen (paracetamol) together . It's advised you wait an hour after you take one type before you take the other to see if the first medication works well enough. There are even medications sold as a combination of both. What you shouldn't take ibuprofen along with other Non-steroidal anti-i inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin.
