It’s why we for the most part stopped calling it global warming and starting calling it climate change. So idiots wouldn’t walk into the US house of representatives holding a snowball to disprove “global warming” …

Nyx, but every cat I have is either “kitty” or lately “monkey”

I’m at work with a new-ish phone so I can’t pay the cat tax, I don’t take many pictures :/

“In too many cases silencing individuals for doing nothing more than expressing themselves online…”

Yeah… If your expression is “all the n-words and f-words should die in a fire” then you can go fuck yourself. You going to go complain to spez over at reddit that you can’t even post a picture of Luigi? I don’t think so.

“It’s also worth noting that in many instances they’re renaming the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) to strip the word “equity” out. Because, you know, racist kakistocracy.”

So it will be BAD, fitting…

What’s interesting to me is that the “shape” of the line still matches the global line pretty well so there are some “fundamental” aspects that still affect markets, but overall we’re in a nosedive for “some reason.”

It wasn’t sex, but I was making out with a girl and the TV was on. One of the characters out of nowhere goes “no lightbulbs?! NO LIGHTBULBS!?” and I completely lost it, laughing right in her face practically in tears.

“On the bright side, each reentry produces a beautiful fireball–and the odds are increasing that you’ll see one. Visit the Aerospace Corporation for reentry predictions, and submit your photos here.”

🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

A fixer-upper.

What they’re doing is cutting staff so hard that the departments become unable to do their jobs exactly so that you can have this argument. They’ll deny getting rid of anything, but they’ll handicap departments so much they effectively become disabled.

The most recent example being social security. They cut the staff so much that there are major concerns about if they can even continue to function over the next 30-90 days. EPA is having similar concerns. Now the IRS too (not that we love taxes or anything). Yes, ThE pRoGrAm StIlL eXiStS, but if it can’t function is it really still serving any purpose?

I’ve had a piece of rebar go through my calf and I still think these hurt worse than that…

And they’re mad that there even is a federal minimum because they want to go lower

It’s so disgusting…

I appreciate the suggestion, but I’m single and live in a garage “apartment.” It wouldn’t be a good life for them.

My paternal family name. No one else carries my last name and I’m almost 40, been single for a decade now so kids are out of the question.

God knows how many generations of this name existed only to die out because I’m pathetic lol

“Coworker 4 - talking too much in general about any topic (they would just prefer I shut up tbh unless there is zero work)”

I am this person lol without knowing them at all I can say at least for this type of person I think the best thing to do is just be direct about work stuff, get to the point right away after the initial pleasantries of initiating the conversation. If they’re anything like me they might actually dislike conversation for similar reasons that you feel anxious. I just don’t have much to say other than strictly work related business and it stresses me out to be stuck in a “meaningless” conversation.

If coworker 1 really is “a bitch” then there isn’t all that much you can do, just treat her similar to coworker 4 and just accept that she might be judging you for stupid reasons. That’s more of a “her problem” than a you problem. As they say “you can’t make everyone like you.” but that doesn’t have to mean there’s anything “wrong” with you, some people just don’t mesh well.

Right wingers: see! They finally admitted it!

…

Seriously. How fucking obnoxious and inconsiderate…

It slightly saves my sanity. Only slightly though.

Compelled speech it is then?

So when are bakers going to be forced to bake cakes for gay couples?

Oh, right, hypocrites. Naturally.

Because they’re so small I think a bowl of tardios would be more like a liquid, probably not very viscous, and more than likely wouldn’t taste like anything. I think the “texture” of that would feel disgusting though

Thanks for the clarification! I’ll make an edit for that
