Election day is a hair over 4 months away and I'm tired of digging through the other threads for this stuff. *Disclaimer that polls are often wrong and will still be discussed.

Single parent households. But how do you fix it, or even get agreement on that, in the current social environment? Preferably without bashing anything out there now, what steps can be taken to address what is obviously the biggest predictor of poverty?

Thanks to Twitter it has become too easy to find crazies on the other side of the political spectrum saying crazy things. I think it would be more entertaining to find things they say that we agree with. I'll start with Elissa Slotkin, the reasonable Democrat congresswoman from Michigan...

After seeing the ignorance (or was it dishonesty?) displayed by our President's nominee to lead the ATF, I decided to start this thread as a public service.

Been thinking about some ways to reduce negative police encounters 1. Don't break the law 2. Don't resist arrest 3. Don't be an idiot when encountering police 4. Keep your hands on the steering wheel when pulled over 5. Keep your hands out of your pockets when dealing with police outside of a...

I'm curious what combination everyone is using. We've bounced around some between Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, HBO, Curiosity Stream, and Boomerang, with Sling thrown in occasionally for a month. The current lineup costs a total of $15 per month, between Disney+ ($7 per month)...

Dark and dreary nights are a great time to look forward to the dawn. Who do we think runs? Pence and Haley are traditional conservatives with some Trump admin experience. It's more likely to taint Pence than Haley if that's a thing at that point. Rubio and Cruz seem like the perpetual Bob Dole...

There are far more minor or third parties in the US than I realized. My social policy incompatibilities with the Dems and fiscal disagreements with the Pubs have me considering a couple of these options. Out of laziness, I have just provided the link and first paragraph from wikipedia...

7 million new gun owners, with a conservative estimate of 100 rounds each, adds up to 700 million rounds of additional demand. I had considered the standard panic over the possibility of a Democrat being elected President, and the preparation buying caused by the riots, and the precautionary...

It's easy to get caught up in only bad or contentious news, so this is a thread is for positive, impactful, non controversial news or stories.

57 brought this up in another thread but I think it deserves it's own. My favorite take, by a writer I read frequently, is below. As he says, substitute Connecticut every time you see Puerto Rico mentioned in the news...

I haven't been to a minor league game before, but I have a daughter who can't wait to see another game so I figured this was a good time. I typically take her to a couple of Atlanta games every year but Rome is much closer. Does anyone have any tips about maximizing the experience at a Rome game?
