This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.

It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]

The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That’s really about it.

No.

I think a lot of the capitulation you’re seeing is just the cascading aftereffects of the ramping up of migrant shipping policies from the southern border states(or just Texas I guess). The scale of that kind of forced some form of reaction outside the norm.

Sorry :( but if you can interchange the right side panels and nothing changes with the messaging it kind of doesn’t land well.

Nothing has foundationally changed with the DNC position over this time period. There was no “Chad” period where they actually fought back and have always rolled over for immigration fearmongering.

It’s also just not a good meme, which is why I personally downvoted.

Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

You seem to be conflating two unrelated points. When people say “tourists need to go home” or “we need less tourists,” they aren’t referring to some philosophical argument for the existence of tourism as a gauge of economic health for the middle class.

These phrases are almost exclusively speaking in regards to tourism’s negative effects on the local environment and population. Heavy tourism has a tendency to cannibalize an areas resources and then alienate or push out the native population.

That’s how it shows up for me at least. Reduced aspect ratio and the top/bottoms of images are cropped to a standard size. I have been needing to wait a second for the image to fully load it’s full format rather than needing to interact with a post though - it just happens automatically when it’s in view on the screen.

Maybe stop stirring the pot? At this point it really just seems like you’re the problem here with how petty and antagonistic you’re being.

The key is to know which rules to break with which customer though. That’s the hard part.

They’re pretty loud in general so you would probably know, but they don’t tend be like to hang about indoors. Might just be house sparrows if you’re hearing them on the warehouse floor.

You should download the Merlin ornithology app. It’s built by the Cornell ornithology lab and has picture and sound ID features for birds as well as just a lot of generally useful identification information.

They’re perfectly nice birds unless you’re a farmer, leave out trash, or conveniently have an open dryer vent for them to loudly nest in like I do.

For those that don’t know, they’re a common nuisance bird because they nest in enclosed cavities like tree trucks or the siding of your house or any open vents. If you’re from the US (At least the Midwest or East Coast, not sure about the western states) and have seen very large flocks of small black birds dancing in the air like schooling fish, behavior called murmations, those are Starlings.

European Starlings were introduced in the US about 100 years ago by a misguided fool in Manhattan. They are invasive, but absolutely everywhere around the US at this point and that’s definitely a European Starling fledgling.

Yes.

Who the hell has golden cock ring kind of cash ^and do they want to be friends?^

I used a firm tofu, purely because the only other option was over four times the price and the chart specified they used the cheapest price/weight possible. The soft tofu does have about 30% more protein per serving for the same weight, but the price would likely make it an outlier.

No problem! Turns out my Walmart only sells a single package type of tofu so take it with a grain of salt. It’s still a cheap and good protein source, but not as dense as an animal or legume protein source.

Pricing and product availability is regional and variable, but some napkin math using my local Walmarts pricing puts it at:

• 5.33g protein per 100g food
• $3.04 for 30g protein

That puts it in the green veggie cluster if I’m not getting the axes confused.

This was my takeaway from this as well. I’ll have to see if I can locate an Arxiv copy of the full paper, but this just seems more like a thought exercise to explain dark matter using String Theory principles.

Edit: Here’s the full paper for anyone curious

I’ve never had the flavored ones, but not really. It’s actually a very smooth drink. It’s a neutral spirit made from sweet potato so it tastes kind of like vodka, but without the bite because it’s half the alcohol content.
