Reply to comment by ExcessiveBulldogery in TIL that Chinese Food was introduced into America during the California Gold Rush, starting in 1848. As 30,000 immigrants had arrived from the Canton region of China, the restaurants gave the predominantly male population a connection to home and provided gathering places for the Chinese community. by jdward01
I can’t imagine they have much competition.

Reply to Washington vs New England by Emcharms
Very few people in Washington are from here while most New Englanders I met while living there were from there. The main differences are in formality. We have basically none out west and back east you feel like you can find yourself “out of place” fairly easily. Whether it’s Omak or Seattle, being new is more appreciated and doesn’t mark you out as “weird” as much as it would back east. When I lived in Massachusetts, states like Alaska, New Mexico and Washington were like faraway planets.

Seems like it might be best to avoid them. "The National Park Service warns that these pools "are not monitored or maintained and may contain high levels of fecal coliform bacteria""

Just yesterday I booked a flight to a sunnier city for a trip next week then today turned out perfect. The city was like “Oh you want to leave me? Look at me now!”

Is he paying his lawyers himself or is he trying to find a way for Mississippi’s poorest residents to foot the bill?

Reply to Damar Hamlin's first question after waking up was 'did we win?' doctor says, days after his cardiac arrest during NFL game | CNN by reddit455
Yeah, it’s so uplifting that the people whose health we sacrifice so we have something to get drunk to and sell ads on several days a week are concerned about the completely unimportant resolution of a game that nearly ended his life. What the fuck is wrong with this country? Why don’t we just have parades for all of the people with serious brain trauma and we can all wave at and thank them for their brave sacrifice so we can have yet another form of entertainment?

Reply to comment by Dan_Backslide in Supreme Court leaves in place Title 42 border policy for now by monstertruckbackflip
Well that decision also served conservative interests. Businesses wouldn’t lose workers, GOP politicians didn’t have to pass any reforms and Trump didn’t have to deport a ton of Dreamers, which would have been terrible press. I’m sure Trump was elated he didn’t have to carry out that campaign promise.

I do not understand how this Supreme Court arbitrarily decides which policies the executive branch can carry out and which they can’t. This is such clear partisan hypocrisy on their part. If a Republican politician puts in place a policy, a Democratic president cannot cease to use it unless the court signs off? This isn’t just legislating from the bench, it’s exercising Executive/Presidential power from it. Effectively six Supreme Court justices have all but replaced the president.

Looks good. I think he’s criminally underemployed. He’s been my favorite part of a bunch of shows.

I'm glad this got picked up, but I'm also sad Rutherford Falls got cancelled. Bobbie had just become the first non-binary mayor, Terry was getting into the recreational weed business and Reagan was going to have to deal with having her sexy former hookup move to town at the same time she was going out with her coworker. I was INVESTED!

Reply to Meydenbauer Bay Park in Bellevue, Washington. by gmc3101
I love Western Washington. We have all of this wonderful waterfront and we’ve decided it should be 99% private homes of people so wealthy they’re only there a couple months a year and then they allow us poors to enjoy little pockets of beach that fill up the minute it’s 70 degrees or more. People act like we’re the Socialist Republic of Washington but we’re where billionaires come to stretch their legs with applause from the local politicians.
