I'm currently reading a book about America's problem of treating water like we have plenty to waste - the main waste being outdoor watering.

Hopefully it doesn't mean anything but my uncle had a blood clot a month before he died. So my grandmother is a bit upset at the moment. I really hope that this isn't the end.

It isn't usually like this. I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts. Got the a/c turned off and the windows open. Quite a nice feeling.

Sure, but even when you've got it bad, it's rarely as bad as we've got it here, and I don't even live next to the beach.

I've come to the realization that choosing between the Stormcloaks and the Empire is sort of like choosing between Republicans and Democrats. There just isn't a good choice to be had except to stay away from both.

Effective governance is the art of compromising on what you want. No one but a true centrist is ever really going to be doing anything but "picking the lesser of the two evils". Generally, though, one party is going to align with a person's goals much more than the other, and I don't put much stock in the sort of cynicism that says the two aren't much different.

Depends on your ideals, I suppose, and if the party is really going to push for them or if it will focus on others: There's the argument that the Democrats lost in 2016 (in the Electoral College) because they leaned too heavily on social issues and not enough on economic issues.

Maybe, but social issues are really fucking important. Social issues can be life or death just the same as economic issues.
