  • Artificial for sure. That’s been the case since 2 years before kids were born.

    I never had an artificial tree growing up. We always cut it ourselves, drilled it, fed it, decorated it and so on. I took my wife from the city to go cut one and it was a great experience. That said, the artificial one is so nice. It gets assembled and has lights included, so once you stack it, it turns on and is already lit. All you have to do is arrange ornaments.

    Full disclosure, I HATE DECORATING A TREE. So for me, not having to put lights on is a huge win. Also it’s the right height every time, And stuff just works.















  • But it literally is progress if every restaurant you go to and order a cheeseburger says “Fuck you, I’ll take my $8.50 and you have to leave”. There’s a weird presumption here that you could go somewhere else and get the whole burger just how you like it and you absolutely can’t.

    A better analogy is that you go to a chain restaurant and the regional manager comes in to spit on your food and undercook your patty but the franchise workers say “we might let you under cook it because you’re sort of the boss, but that’s as much lenience as you get”.

    Not perfect, but still city or state action against the Fed is progress considering the group of people who are officers at any level are probably closer to homegenous than the regular population.
