Wait, you mean you don’t just drop trou the second you get into a public bathroom? That’s crazy, my girlfriends and I are always asking strangers to look at our crotches before we pee.

Wait no, that’s never happened once in my 39 years on earth. I’m really curious about what bathrooms republicans are in if loose genitalia is the constant threat they make it out to be.

I don’t know that it is dramatic - these people are willingly (and often happily) starving kids. What else would you call someone who looks at a child whose only meal that day may come from school and says, “Nah, it wins me points with my base, go ahead and starve”? Monster, maybe, but they labeled themselves terrorists, and I always like to use people’s preferred names.

If I have to soften my language to get buy in on the issue of “children shouldn’t have to starve in one of the richest countries in the world,” I think that says everything it needs to about anyone opposing it, namely that they’re both incredibly hateful, and also huge crybaby bitches.

I wonder if he’s suing everyone who’s accused him of associating with Nazis. Which, at this point, has got to be a huge number, since he openly associates with Nazis and all. Is there such a thing as a reverse class-action? Can he bulk sue all of us to save time?

Don’t forget, “We’re gonna pay some of our staff to go to cool cities to meet several of you! What an incredible opportunity for them to get frequent flier miles and for you to show up (again, unpaid) at a fake meeting in your free time. This will surely have some kind of impact on how we run things, in that nothing will change whatsoever.”

Ugh, I would kill for a small truck. I don’t need a truck I have to use a ladder to climb into with a bed that’s 4 feet long because the extended cab takes up the rest of the space. I love my 11 year old RAV4, but I would consider buying something new if small trucks actually existed anymore. Or, yeah, an electric car that wasn’t full of useless tech. I love tech, in it’s proper place, but my car is not it.

Me too. I felt kind of shitty deleting a decade old account where I’d had a lot of really good interactions with people, but I’ve already completed multiple craft projects that I never would’ve picked up if I hadn’t stopped reflexively clicking on reddit every time I was even slightly bored, and now I’m here, which is nice. Not so busy I can spend all day doomscrolling, and mostly a better community.

Haven’t you heard? Clicking a down arrow on the internet is literally the exact same thing as making a death threat. Both sides are equally bad!

Federal jobs are borderline impossible to get unless you get points or are very qualified. I know a ton of people who can’t even get an interview because there are so many applicants who get veterans preferences and stuff who end up ahead of them in line. I’m still kicking myself for not applying for anything when I was married to a guy in the military because it’s probably the only way I’d ever even get seen.

I learned to make a skeleton friendship bracelet recently and now I’m embroidering a Halloween pattern. Is learning to cross stitch the next step in the direction of having way too much skeleton decor? MAYBE, because this is fantastic. I love the colors - the original black and white is cool, but the fire especially looks dope in color.
