I know they typically don’t bite, and that their bites aren’t dangerous.

Fair warning, they may not be "dangerous", but from the tarantula breeders I've talked to, some can "pack a whallop" which to me means painful as all fuck.

Fair warning, they have the same problem as rats... They live just long enough for you to get really attached to them. Lifespans are about 1 year for males, and up to 3 for females.

But, if you like them, you can always get a tarantula, which can live much longer.

Both of those are meh-tier options. You want seedless blackberry or orange marmalade.

Email not in all caps. Clearly fake.

Yeah, they self inflicted a ton of COVID deaths to avoid breaking their kayfabe. Clearly they learned nothing.

Two of the most famous events

Relevant text quoted.

Yes I am an American. An American who's great great grandfather marched his ass from Indiana down to the bottom of Georgia. In the late 1860s. An American who spent a week each summer following that path with his grandfather and visiting battle sites.

My argument was not that Lincoln didn't try to keep the country together. I was just pointing out the irony of calling for a strong leader to bring the country together, and then picking the one president who was in charge when the country split and went to war. It wasn't Lincoln reaching across the aisle that kept the country together. It was Sherman chasing the confederates to the ocean and burning everything behind him. They were stuck with two options, and the confederates picked the one that didn't involve swimming for the rest of their lives.

It's a two part answer.

One, gamers have less money to spend, along with everyone else.

Two, expensive AAA title games these days tend to be shit, from a graphics, code, community, and content standpoint. If you want good games, cheaper is usually better.

Last AAA title game I bought was Borderlands 3, and I don't see myself buying anymore in the next two years or so.

My general rule of thumb, if there isn't a significant risk to life, limb, or senses in the next 24 hrs, I'm not going to the ER.

I don't go to a GP ever. They stole my blood and piss, and then told me to come back in 6 months and did it again. The headache of setting up the appointments, rescheduling work, travel, and copays means it just isn't worth it.

Finally, if I have an injury, and it's still affecting my daily life 3 days later, then I go to urgent care, and sometimes that even feels like a waste of money. Cost 180 bucks for me to get a pinched nerve in my shoulder diagnosed (couldn't sleep for 3 days) and they prescribed me maximum strength acetaminophen and some steroids which blew my heart rate up to unsafe levels so I stopped taking them. Pain finally went away about 4 days later on its own.

My boyfriend keeps saying that America needs a strong leader who can unite the people across the political divide like Lincoln did.

I think your boyfriend needs to read a history book... Two of the most famous events of Lincoln's presidency are the only Civil War in the US has ever had, and him getting shot in the back of the head by the opposition.

Not saying either of those are Lincoln's fault necessarily...

The problem is, red states and blue states are a myth. It's red country and blue city.

Like the rest of them, she voted for it, then had her staffers read it and they found something she didn't like, so she complained.

This fucking missing link should not be in congress.

If you need an atomic clock to know how many millions of dollars you have, then you're rich. The rest of us aren't even worth fixing a rounding error for them.
