“Vote in the primaries!”
“I do but the party actively undermines democracy during those. Repeatedly, openly, and unashamedly.”
“Yeah well they’re allowed to just choose whoever they want anyway so you have to vote for the neoliberal in the general.”
My phone vibrates for text messages, but even if it doesn’t there’s no need for two notifications in the tray if a simple edit is possible.
Also I’m talking about the recipient, not myself. I don’t know what their settings are necessarily.
I’m a millennial and I strongly prefer editing. It’s much easier on the recipient not to have to cross-reference your correction with your message, and it usually doesn’t result in a separate notification ping.
Yep, 99% of dogs beat 99.99999% of people. And 99% of cats do the same.
Yeah, our struggles definitely pale in comparison to marginalized groups. And no worries! I didn’t think you were, I just know how much my brother-in-law struggled with dyslexia, though he didn’t have a very supportive family so he didn’t even get diagnosed until he was an adult.
They think my nephew is showing early signs of it too, but hopefully his experience will be closer to yours since he’ll get support early on.
Auditory processing disorder is such a weird one. In a lot of contexts I actually like it, it’s like having earmuffs without wearing anything. I just wish I could turn it on and off intentionally. Sometimes I need it because the unfiltered background noise is too much but it won’t turn on. Sometimes I’m trying to take in audio and don’t realize it’s turned on and I missed a bunch.
I’ve also realized that I actually read lips a lot to compensate for background noise, so I’ve been trying to hone that skill more intentionally. Another thing that’s maybe a benefit of the disorder.
Damn that sounds rough. I’ve got some dyslexic family members and I can’t imagine combining their struggles with auditory processing disorder.
Other conditions exist. I have auditory processing disorder and one part of it is an involuntary disabling of my audio processing when my brain is trying to focus on something, particularly anything else to do with language like note-taking. My ears will “hear” but my brain won’t.
It wasn’t completely debilitating, but it made certain kinds of classes inordinately difficult for me. Discussion based classes were a nightmare for me, and no amount of practice could change how my brain works. So instead I pursued STEM where the notes are math and I could work ahead and tune in if I got stuck.
That being said, handwritten notes are still definitely the way to go in math!
Weekend like bookend, both sides.
OP used a word with a specific meaning. Someone pointed out that that word doesn’t apply here. You come in to say that we’re wrong for pointing out that word doesn’t apply and keep digging in to say why the word doesn’t mean what it means.
One of us is an ass for sure.
I’m aware. It’s also the one the tortoiseshell pattern (in general, not just for cats) is named for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortoiseshell
And frankly, it doesn’t particularly matter what OP meant. Doesn’t make it correct. Tortoiseshell cat fur is a specific pattern.
This is just kinda obstinate though. Tortoiseshell in the context of cats obviously refers to the fur pattern. To assume otherwise is odd. And just because that’s the kind of tortoiseshell you’re thinking of doesn’t mean the pattern isn’t also named after a tortoiseshell.
Tortie is just shorthand for tortoiseshell, which the belly isn’t. She’s a very pretty cat, but words have meanings and she doesn’t have tortoiseshell pattern fur.
I’m not talking about breeds either. I’m talking about fur patterns. Breeds are cruel, fur patterns are just genetic expressions.
Yeah, “classic” or “marble” tabby pattern. Very pretty, but not tortoiseshell. My calico has tortoiseshell over most of her body.
It’s absolutely gross. I literally think about it every time a Boomer socially pressures a handshake with me, and I try not to touch anything else until I can wash my hands or at least get some sanitizer. Idk if any individual is guilty of it, but enough strangers are that I’m not taking chances.
Public men’s restrooms make me not want to shake hands with anyone. The number of men who walk out straight past the sinks without stopping is alarming and disgusting.
Somehow everything the Democrats promise takes until very close to the cycle after they’re elected until they even talk about it. Then, of course, they need your votes again so they can do the thing they promised the first time. Then (Insert Needed # of Dems here) will have some problem with it so it falls through and Dems lose the next cycle because of some reason that is the voters’ fault.
The first suggestion is not a common thing at all. But the second is reasonable, I had a friend growing up born on Dec 26th so she celebrated her half-birthday instead.

Seriously, so fucking infuriating. How am I supposed to not be critical of the people who handed Donald Trump the presidency twice? And the first time they literally directed media outlets to prop him up in the Republican primary.
Right, I’m the problem with my one vote in a state that’s gonna give their electors to the Democrat no matter what I do (but I vote for the shitty neoliberal in the general anyway). Not the elite class who gave our country to the fascists because that’s what their donors wanted.
