It’s bad enough dealing with crippling depression in a small town, where everyone’s going to tell you that A: your condition is a moral failure rather than an illness with physiological underpinnings, B: religion is the answer to your condition, C: (for males, anyway) your condition makes you weak and effeminate, or D: a combination of the above or more likely all of them. Adding those things on top of it is a recipe for suicide.

This could still be an Ohio meme

No, I get it, that song gets lodged in my head all the time too, hi-five

…sometimes, I’ll sing it to myself, raising my hand into the air as I reach the end of the line, and close it into a fist on the “Taurus!” part, like it’s some kind of overly dramatic Broadway horseshit

He paid to see it, and I’m not going to read his notes. Wins all around except for Ben himself.

It’s not just science-related videos either; I recently saw a video about the Taurus returning to Ford’s lineup, despite the car existing only as a rebadged Mondeo in the Chinese market now, and no such announcements being made anywhere for it to return to the US market

I really wish there was a viable alternative to youtube, it’s the only google product I consciously use and it’s pure trash

A headline to come: “Florida GOP to change state nickname, policies, to ‘The Sundown State’”

That sucks, sorry to hear it. My mom, of all people, who I don’t think has ever voted, asked me the other day if I was going to vote no on issue 1 in the upcoming special election in Ohio, in which a yes vote would prevent a ballot issue protecting women’s reproductive rights from being up for the vote in November. It’s gotten bad enough here that she is going to vote. There’s a red line for everyone, maybe you need to help yours find it.
