On the issue of Gaza, Biden is dramatically out of touch with the voters he needs to win re-election. If he will not be moved by morality to stop his support of this war, he should be moved by vulgar self-interest.

It was a very bizarre feeling when I finally managed to get to Tokyo and everything was so...normal. I'd been trapped in Fukushima for eight days with minimal food and water at that point. Lost eight pounds. Worried constantly about radiation. Had no clean clothes. What would normally have been a two hour bullet train ride from there to Tokyo ended up taking two days as the route south was still closed when a path to the west opened up.
Then eventually I got to Tokyo, feeling like a haggard refugee, and everyone was going about their lives as normal. Very surreal.

It is a huge tourist destination for New Jerseyans and Pennsylvanians (though Jerseyans don't typically stay there over night, in my experience). It's got the beach and the boardwalk, the latter of which is what most people go there for. Rides, carnival games, tourist shops, etc. Also a big drinking culture for the younger crowd.

its uniquely astronomical prescription drug pricing
lol, what multiverse version of the US has this writer been living in? There is nothing remotely unique about the astronomical price. It's just that these drugs treat such an extremely common problem that the astronomical price has raised more awareness than it typically does for other drugs. Just look up "orphan drugs" and I'm sure it won't be long before prices in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars get mentioned.
Should I not be eating sugared carbs for breakfast, a couple of baconators or a bucket of fried chicken for lunch, and prepackaged salty carbs for dinner?
What about if I throw it all in a casserole dish with some ultra processed mushroom slop, add a bunch of cheese product, and call it homemade? Does that fix it?

I'm anti-death penalty because I don't believe the government should have that power and because sometimes innocent people get murdered by it. But fucks like these do indeed make it hard. Torturing somebody like that.... He deserves anything he gets.
I'll never take seriously someone who uses the phrase "excess savings" unironically. Which, amusingly, is directly related to the topic: "the economy" isn't about the average person, and this is largely why there's is a huge disconnect between Wall Street/politicians/economists and actual people on perceptions of how well "the economy" is doing.
Wow, you totally missed my point. Being on the same page and aware of what your partner is doing has nothing to do with taking control. And I didn't say he should be lording over her.
Relationships, when done well, involve a lot of communication. And how would you not notice the flag on your own front door?
I've never been Catholic and I stopped going to our Lutheran Church when I was nine, but I can still do the sign of the cross naturally without even thinking about it. And no, we did not do the sign of the cross in my Lutheran church. It's just such a common thing you see in American society.
I mostly see it in movies and TV, but I see it in person as well. I saw it in person a lot more when I lived in other places in the US than where I do now, however.
