I mean, I love that this happened, but it was at 1 minor US airport and 3 minor Canadian airports (non-TSA). From the article this doesn’t seem like a widespread thing, unfortunately.

Right, I do despise the Democrats but I still voted Harris for harm reduction. If anything, these 4 long years mentioned above are just going to make me despise Democrats more for fumbling the election so badly

There are still quite a few around Ohio. I haven’t been in years though, because yea, it’s disappointing now.

Interesting, didn’t know that it was like that throughout Canada too. None of those options are available to me in the Midwest US. And agree! Definitely think it’s funny to point out, I just was giving more context because I (incorrectly) thought it was only “regular” in a small region.

I think that’s regional, maybe to east coast US (or just NYC)? Anywhere else I’ve been in the US “regular coffee” referred to black coffee.

“Café negro” (which I’ve never heard for black coffee) would be “Café solo” or “Café sin leche” (literally, “coffee by itself”, or “coffee without milk”). “Café con leche” would be coffee with milk, which definitely is not black coffee.

He thought a “horse bath” was just a quick rinse off in the sink. He was inadvertently teaching ESL elementary school kids the phrase “whore’s bath” which, while it is technically just a quick rinse in the sink, there is definitely different connotation.

I made this comment about a year ago: https://midwest.social/comment/6247683

“A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with ‘English as a second language’ students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a ‘horse bath’ in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he’d misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.”

Another recommendation for Dreaming Spanish!

I mentioned this in a comment last week and was called a sexist for not supporting women, because I dared to say a Cheney endorsement was bad for Dems.

This has nothing to do with her gender. In fact, I just said ‘a Cheney.’ Dick Cheney also supported Kamala and that made people want to vote for her even less than Liz did. The fact that Kamala’s positions are so far to the right that known war hawk Dick Cheney threw his support behind her is a BAD thing for a lot of left wing voters.

We weren’t talking about people who voted for Trump instead of Kamala. We are talking about 15 million people who didn’t show up because there was no one running that supported their values.

So some people felt they had no one to vote for.

…with a Cheney*

Just like it’s been approved for the past year.

Hahaha I didn’t even think to check that. Wild

If a neoliberal party can’t win 2 out of 3 elections against a fascist, maybe they should pivot away from neoliberalism.

Right, “did Biden drop out” had a spike as seen in the first picture below. It’s hard to tell magnitude. When comparing to another phrase, it’s easy to see that the spike wasn’t even close to the spike for another election day phrase: ‘who is Kamala?’

Also, don’t they need to run to move food through their digestive tract? Or to force themselves to cough if they have something stuck in their lungs? I think there is some sort of dependency of basic functions that relies on the movement of their lungs/stomach going back and forth while running that they can’t easily do if they just stand in one place all day
