Because it’s only fraud if a normal person makes money from it, duh 🤪

February and August are so rare that it was blatant election fuckery when my state had a ballot initiative vote last august

Fellow Ohioan spotted?

Because the people with enough money to overstock themselves on toilet paper would have been embarrassed to be seen in a Dollar General because it’s “beneath them”, and the people who are willing to go to DG don’t have enough money to stock up.

Honestly, I am unoffended by that dynamic in my house. Our difference isn’t as great - my 5’5" to his 6’2" - but I just laugh and tell him to move when he tries to scrunch down to get things, and I sigh loudly and stare at him while stretching my arm up if I don’t want to climb for high things. We’re goofy like that, though, neither of us take it seriously and he teases me right back.

Wildlife Fact File cards! You got a nifty 3 ring binder and then they would send you these cards in the mail as part of a subscription. I wish I still had mine!

We’ve been making this argument for the last 3+ years, my dude.

No one who is saying all of this now was silent the last few years. I’ve personally been donating to, campaigning for, and bolstering the messaging of non-Mainstream-Dem candidates since I became disillusioned with Obama in my mid 20s. It’s not our fault y’all have been fucking ignoring us.

I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched “is priority mail delivery date guaranteed”, the first real answer, from USPS’s website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google’s AI told me? “Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date.”

It’s fucking stupid. It’s wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

Art is catharsis. People who are “cheering” for it are doing so because it resonates with them, because seeing a jackass get ridiculed and made uncomfortable is a reversal of the usual state of things, not because they think it’s actually a good idea. The juxtaposition of a woman loudly narrating the exact thing that the guy is already wordlessly broadcasting is not to paint the action as anyone’s goal but to give those of us who feel terrorized by someone trying to show off how “badass” they are a bit of a laugh. It’s not a vote or endorsement for that kind of behavior; it’s more like an expression of schadenfreude or an acknowledgement of intrusive thoughts.

No no, the turtle shell is hollow, duh. The hole in the disc just empties into the turtle shell to keep the poor thing hydrated, it’s like a camel-turtle basically.

Ok, being that I am on the spectrum myself I really hope this doesn’t come across offensive: are you autistic?

Because that’s the only way I can fathom you taking this literally. It’s a comic. I can assure you the artist never did this in real life. They are using art as an expression to point out that this dude’s entire bearing - the way he carries himself, the fact that he chooses to aggressively display his firearm, the clothing that he wears - is accomplishing the exact same thing that the woman in the comic is doing. It is intended to obnoxious, as it is pointing out that he is obnoxious for portraying himself that way.

Metaphor, allegory, art, my friend. It’s not literal.

I think it’s a joke about manatees having evolved from the same land-based ancestor as elephants, making them pretty literally “sea elephants”.

Regarding difficulty - on lower difficulties it’ll take longer to earn up the medals (though the major order rewards definitely help there) but I actually think it’s faster to farm super credits on the easiest 3 difficulties.

Fascists have no culture of their own except violence, they have to steal everyone else’s.

Weed card, it’s what I need! Hardly ever - okay, always. But it’s not an addiction, cause myyyy doctor gave meeeee, a prescription!

I dunno, I feel like it’s mostly just people being people. We have a truck and a sporty little hatchback and people are just as apt to drive like assholes around both cars, despite my husband and I both also being the “drive just enough above the speed limit that we probably won’t get a ticket” drivers, and otherwise adhering almost exactly to road laws the way only mildly obsessive neurodivergents can. I think people either just don’t know road laws or don’t care about them and get pissed when other people do and “impede” their oh-so-important trip.

Because sometimes I leave the towel hanging on the door hook :')

🤷🏻‍♀️ Needlessly aggressive but ok. I use my electric kettle once a day minimum and I use it for things other than tea as well. My husband uses it for his French press coffee, we use it for hot choccy or ramen or even rice sometimes. It’s just an easier way to heat up water to specific temperatures, no elitism here.

… No? 212° F water is not the same thing as 170°F for a more delicate tea. And, ok, you could let it cool down before adding the tea, but are you going to put a thermometer in it? How will you know when it’s the right temperature? Why not just… get it to the right temperature the first time?

Get an electric kettle. Tea should be brewed at an appropriate temperature for its style, and microwaving the water is inaccurate. Electric kettle will get you the right temp every time nearly as fast.
