That’s fair. You can believe what you want. But that doesn’t make it less true.

I’ll just put it over here with the rest of the fire.

If the jug holds slightly more than a gallon, if you squeeze the sides, it holds less.

Fresh milk that’s been pasteurized and refrigerated should last at least three weeks.

Or they check the volume before they are filled. Air pressure or water could be used to check the capacity.

It’s added after molding the jugs and the volume is checked, but before the milk is filled.

The labels go on the flat sides, and the dimples would get in the way. The bottoms of the jugs are usually a thicker plastic, but I can’t say for sure that this is why they don’t put the dimple there.

It’s a US thing. A gallon of milk will last my family about two weeks, or less if the kids are into baking or breakfast cereal that week. I sometimes put a little milk in my coffee or tea, and I occasionally use some for making sauces or marinades. Very rarely will we throw away milk because it has spoiled, but it has happened. Maybe once a year or so, usually because of a power outage or having to travel unexpectedly.

We also have half-gallon plastic jugs which feature the same dent sometimes. When I was a kid, I remember we even had tiny pint-sized jugs for half and half, but I think that was more of a novelty.

If you look closely, when Trump opens his mouth wide enough, you can see the palm of Putin’s hand.

Trump is also not a porcelain butter dish shaped like a dairy cow.

This is Oklahoma.

Nobody wants abortions for no good reason. The key is that it’s a decision that should be left to the doctor and the patient. Every person has their own threshold for what constitutes a “good” reason, and my beliefs on the matter aren’t more valid than anyone else’s. Why should I make medical decisions for any person? Why would anyone expect personal morals to be the standard by which everyone must live?

Also, they definitely don’t understand the progressive position on either of those issues.

I don’t know that that’s him. He seems much taller in that photo.

Steve could have at least rewritten the part where he talks about himself in the third person to, at a minimum, establish some pretense that this wasn’t given to him to say.

I didn’t miss shit. Your point is wrong. There is no underlying conservative ideology. It does not exist. Each iteration of conservatives makes up their own values and then acts like those are immovable facts. It’s like drawing a circle around wherever you happen to be standing and then declaring everything within it the Kingdom of Divine Righteous People. There are no examples of conservatives who have not done this. That’s not ideology, that’s narcissism.

Right? Like, figure out how to sort and fold laundry.

Bullshit. Progressivism is based on the principles of freedom, justice, equality, and empathy. A progressive believes in their principles even when they run counter to their own self interest. A conservative, invariably, will simply choose principles that are aligned with their own self interest. Twas always thus, and forever shall be.

There’s no such thing as a “principled” conservative. Conservativism is the idea that nothing should change, except the things that the conservative thinks need to change. It is, without exception, based on the self-interest of the conservative determining their own positions. It’s narcissism dressed in stoic nationalism wielding ignorance and fueled by anger.

Sorry, what do you mean by “actual conservatives”?
