I mean. Heck, if you have a terminal illness I don’t see the downsides really.

Who doesn’t think peanut butter toast is ‘normal’? Where tf are you from?

I thank we can develop state that our media landscape is beyond toxic. It’s apparent that much of our population is getting fed information through tik Tok, Facebook, and YouTube. Learning how to game the system like the alt-right does would be incredibly worthwhile.

Taxing the upper class was part of their platform though…so…still unsure as to where there against the “working class”.

Yeah, I find I need to read a book or find some other way to engage my brain - woodworking, painting, gardening, etc… The enjoyment comes back.

Gummies are incredibly easy to make. I just made a batch 2 days ago that are sitting in my counter drying before I put a powdered sugar on the outside of them and stick them in the freezer. I use moulds so that I know EXACTLY how much I’m dosing. And the best part? I’m not destroying my lungs by any means.

Always line something else up first. If possible, also have enough money to last 3-6 months without a job - makes things a hell of a lot less stressful. We would essentially just bank any bonuses throughout the year, and it would afford us a nice nest egg in case something ever happened. However it needs to remain untouched.

I finish with the D too!

Holy shit… This would be amazing.

Roosters don’t crow, they cock-a-doodle-doo. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

No, but thank you though.

Yikes. Thank god we don’t have degenerates in charge that unironically believe that stuff like that is a good idea.

Yes, let’s create a martyr of Trump. Fantastic idea. No way that would have backfired. Nosiree.

Democrats tried to do things by the book. Legally. You know, the way things should be done. Not by escalating tensions with more violence.

Democrats are absolutely infuriated by all of this. The shear frustration that more is not able to be done. Hell, look at Jack Smith and everything he’s been fighting for and trying to get pushed through. There have never been lawsuits like this brought against a former President - shit has to be airtight. You can’t just walk into court and say, “Trump sucks, he’s a menace, lock him up,” and expect Trump to get hauled off to jail.

Your not being remotely realistic about how things SHOULD happen. Sure, the reactionary in me would have loved to know that the traitor got drawn and quartered, but the realist in me knows that it wouldn’t have done anything but beget more violence and extremism from the right. Trump cronies structured the Judicial System in his favor, and yes. He’s a fucking menace, but it’s not likely we’ve lost here, Kamala will win and he’ll get fucked. Let’s do this legally, and not take the “Nuclear, who cares about the fallout” option.

My dude, you can always start. I guarantee there’s a group out there for you.

You fix it pretty easily by just getting the lenses entirely replaced. If you have vision insurance, you can do it entirely for free

Weird can be good…sometimes, depending on the context.

Yeah, I’m not changing my entire client that I’ve gotten used to just to deal with a single bot that annoys me.

Plan something 5-days in advance to do something.

Reach out 1-day ahead and ask if they are still up for doing it. It provides them with an out, and opens up your day tomorrow in the off chance that they have to cancel.

On the day of the planned activity, let them know you’ll be heading out shortly to meet them at x place at y time.

For extra soft plans (i.e. do you want to get together and study later this evening?), still text before hand about an hour or so as it gives them a quick reminder, and allows you to alter plans.

Communication works both ways, and sometimes people need reminders. If they don’t respond, just let them know you didn’t hear from them and you’re going to do something else. Don’t freak out about it. People waffle on things all the time.

He gave them $1,600 in stimulus checks. Some of the poorer people think he’ll make things more affordable for people, lower costs, make crypto better, and essentially just rain down money. They have to think of their families future, and apparently they think Trump will do that. They don’t care what he’s done, he’s a means to an end, and if they can wrap an American flag around him, profess him the new Messiah, and ban abortions to do it, they will.

Republicans are either extremely ignorant or they just lack any and all empathy. They get their news from Fox that shields them from the truth, and they live in constant fear of blood-drinking evil liberals, illegal racist/murderer aliens, and that their money is being stolen from them by undesirables that feed off the system.

Their entire world view is a facade to make rich people richer and their ignorance of that makes them expendable pawns. It’d be comical if it wasn’t so tragic…

Boredom breeds innovation. It’s okay to be bored. In fact, I really wish our society would get “legitimately” bored more often.
