I'm in northern VA too and I've seen dogs in my local Harris Teeter.

I've read - and it has the ring of truth to me - that the earliest form of the First Commandment was thou shalt have no other gods before My face (that is, no (other) idols in Yahweh's temple/tabernacle/whatever).

She was an earlier opponent of progressive excess, and as a female journalist of clearly conservative leanings, she was able to carve a niche by being the contrarian to the expected demographic alignment (i.e. a jewish woman who was not a progressive democratic partisan for social justice).
The fact that she grew up in the Soviet Union probably has something to do with this.

I would never admit this on any left-wing site, but of the two great art exhibitions of 1937, I aesthetically prefer the "German art" to the "degenerate art". And I don't think that ipso facto makes me a fascist.

They think the (mostly Christian IIRC) Dearborn Arabs are representative of Arabs worldwide.

Or a pedestrian waiting at a crosswalk looking like they are about to cross
Or even a pedestrian who lurks on the sidewalk and deliberately runs in front of the car as an insurance scam.

I've been waiting for decades for laser eye surgery to be perfected and standardized to the point that I can get my severe nearsightedness corrected to 20/20 or better, forever, by a robot at my local CVS for $9.95.

Though it's strongly implied that both Crabbe and Goyle generations are almost too dimwitted to use magic.

anyone who was legitimately from the lower orders
The thief Mundungus Fletcher surely qualifies.

A disproportionate percentage of Reddit powermods are trans, so of course dissent from trans-worship is not going to be welcome there.

The recent huge, unprecedented influx of low-intelligence Indians into Canada, IMO, plays a huge role in the spread of the "pajeet" stereotype.

Especially, it's trans people, or people with lots of trans relatives/friends, who are severely decompensating online and losing contact with reality (i.e., acting as if Trump's first act upon being inaugurated will be to round up all trans people and herd them into the gas chambers).

Aubrey de Grey is the guy who keeps saying that aging's defeat is just around the corner; does everyone just ignore him nowadays? Or just get pissed off at him for continually raising false hope?
(Or is he dead?)

There was some discussion also about her being an "entrepreneur"
Wouldn't that be entrepreneuse?

Maybe partly because it sounds like "wingnut".

Abortion is functionally the only issue that gains votes for democrats this cycle
There's also the scare tactic "Trump is a Fascist! Electing him will mean the end of democracy!" which has been everywhere on Reddit the past few days.

Terms that were popular only in small, socially ostracized circles of internet weirdos and incels are now mainstream.
I still have yet to see "Bayesian", "quokka", "defectbot", "epistemic status" or "toxoplasma" in the Washington Post. Heh.
Although not before causing sudden, massive and irreversible white flight in almost every jurisdiction where it has been used.
The Boston, MA public schools are less than 15% white now, as opposed to (IIRC) 80% in 1974 when busing began.
And Prince Georges County, MD: 79% white in 1971-72 school year, one year prior to busing.
3.9% white in 2021.

Brampton, ON? So far as I can tell, the place seems to be 100% Indian nowadays.

I'd rather rewind to 2016 and pit Sanders against Rand Paul. Whichever won, it would have been pretty interesting!
But when I was young, lots of people had dogs, but they left them home when they went shopping. Did so many people suddenly become so, I don't know, psychologically weaker such that they can't stand to spend a single minute away from their animal?
