I thought you were just making a joke, but I see now that's actually the name of an open-source Firefox derivative. What a fun name!

Fellow Arkansan rooting for y'all across the river in Tennessee. I live in Memphis where my congressional district just got gerrymandered 😩

I'd put them oldest further from the hinge. My logic is that they'd be closer to me when I open the door that way (same logic applies whether you store them in the door or fridge). However, of you have a weirdly designed fridge like mine, it makes more sense to keep them on the right side of the body of the fridge because we have double French style doors and it can be sort of cumbersome to try and open the right door and grab the milk if it's sitting toward the middle away from the hinge due to the left door not being open and my arm bumping it / it being partially in the way. The left side is ruled out completely because there are shelves that are too low and don't allow enough headroom for the milk.

My partner and I keep anywhere from 3 to 6 half gallons of milk in our fridge at a time. We're plant based and the stores don't sell them in full containers. I don't actually know the milk I bought most recently because they typically all look the same. We try to keep them organized them by FIFO with the oldest in the front so we can grab and use those first without having to read the tiny "best by" dates.

There were actually two strikes on two separate schools that day, one in Minab and one in Lamerd. The one in Minab that killed all the schoolgirls overshadowed the coverage of the other (I'm assuming because of the moral outrage of killing so many schoolgirls). I didn't actually know about the second until NYT did a report about it much later (linked above).

So your evidence of saying boycotts don't work is to show an example where people did not in fact boycott something? Of course a boycott won't work if only a small group of people boycott. That's not the fault of the people calling for the boycott. It's the fault of the people who didn't boycott lol.

You're coming across as condescending whether that's your intention or not.

Similar experience for me. Developed the typical bullseye rash on my calf after being bit and went to the doctor. He didn't even bother with tests to confirm, just prescribed me antibiotics based on the rash alone and it cleared up. Was sick and tired for a few days and that was that.

The problem is that even doing that isn't simple. Both parties are captured by and cater to capital's interests. The Democratic Party and the Republican Party both have 0 interest in changing away from first past the post because first past the post gets them elected and in power. It's incredibly difficult to get anyone elected that is outside of either of those two parties because they will do everything in their power to challenge it. We've seen this most recently in the 2024 elections when the Dems were challenging Green Party candidates' rights to even be on the ballot by taking them to court to contest their signatures and other procedural challenges. The Greens don't have the pocket book to handle lawsuits, so this can effectively kill any local and bottom up candidate initiatives. It takes time to contend with these structures, which is why we're just now seeing gains being made by Democratic Socialists like Mamdani in NYC. His election required years of organizing on the DSA's part to build a party structure in NYC. Sometimes their best route to office has been through the Democratic party itself, like Mamdani, which comes with its own issues as well.
