Same basic concept, but not the origin of the term. It’s a common misconception.

I think some concessions could be made for small batch local milk and eggs.

“Tankie” originates with Soviets using tanks to stop rebellion in Hungary, and refers to those who condone using authoritarian violence to suppress dissidents. They frequently overlap, but they’re distinct concepts.

Y’know, if anywhere was going to have an ATM machine, it would probably be Costco

Weird, I always have my keys. How do you get into your home?

Maybe not everything, there were a few less-than-greats in his catalogue. It’s been a while, but I can’t imagine The Pebble and the Penguin or A Troll in Central Park being particularly good as an adult.

I did for a while, and I never needed it. I’ve never needed to open something out and about where a key wasn’t perfectly capable.

I keep a Powerful Pete on my keyring, I use it easy more than I would use a pocket knife.

I tried, it’s just another thing to carry that I never need. I cannot think of a single instance when 1) I needed a knife 2) I wasn’t in a location which had a more appropriate knife than a pocket knife 3) I couldn’t just use a key.

You’re a fugly piece of shit

Shriners too

That would be included prominently in the “sweeping socialist reform”. Absolutely a high priority, but negligible odds of success under the current composition.

Priority one is achieving a Congress that will pass RCV.

They still do good things sometimes, they generally do fewer and less bad things. Definitely need to be entirely reformed, but practically that’s a future us problem.

Priority one is dismantling the other party. Blue collar Americans love socialism when you don’t call it that. Start a “right wing” party that’s just leftism wrapped up in Jesus and 'Murica. Split the right, let the neo-libs stabilize things for a couple cycles while the 'Murica party siphons the working class from Republicans. Then, after the Republican party is dead, hard shift on the left from Democrat to 'Murica, massive mandate, start passing sweeping socialist reform.

I think the main point is “the desire and the power”. There are a few with desire, but without numbers they don’t have the power. The more people with desire we can get into seats, the more power they’ll have, collectively, to do something.

Oh, this is good information to have.

Oh, I was setting you up for “Like I said, Sir Mix-a-Lot didn’t die”

Sir Mix-a-Lot isn’t dead

I like big butts and I cannot tell the truth!

You must best our challenge if you wish to pass, wayward traveler.

I read someone saying the other day, that Hallmark movies make a lot of sense if you think of small town empty-nest mothers as their main demographic.

Edit: I found the comment, couldn’t find the article they’re talking about though.
