My dad did that one year lol. Refused to change his clocks or personal routine. Dunno if he was able to stick with it or not — but it was funny to hear him talk so seriously about why he "refuses to abide by such an arbitrary concept that makes his life harder, by having to adjust his body's schedule"

His face had such a straight up "nope, fuck all that" look about it, it cracked me up lmao

A friend of mine went out of town and I helped take care of their cats. I realized when I went to feed them, that I didn't know where their food was. I was about to call my friend, but then realized I could just ask the cats. And sure enough, one of them led me directly to the closet with the food. Easy peasey

I don't trust anyone named Lenny. Lemmy is cool though

And the "orphan train" already passed by, so it's not pictured either. Or the "for sale" signs when the children became too many. But the chimney sweep kids are "living it up", as they're learning an important trade!

Thank you! Placed my order and it was surprisingly really simple. I like to keep tests around and they can be expensive, so this was awesome! Much appreciated for the info

Sorry, sorry... that was sarcasm. It was mostly slavery of orphans, guised as trade-skills. As well as the cancers, they also had hellish injury/death, because ya know... 7 year olds are climbing chimneys

"Put their feet to the fire"... sometimes kids were too afraid to keep climbing, so they lit a fire under them. Sometimes, they became too grown and got stuck in the chimney, possibly dying. Hellish

Brutal. I can't even imagine being such a piece of shit, that my mom has to tell me what a piece of shit I am

Son,

I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..

You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.

I am not a saint, far from it.. so don’t throw that in my face,. but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.

Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as “unstable” for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.

I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side… bunk… we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont’ care)

Don’t you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us… that’s what babies do. It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women

We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don’t want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]

And yes, we are praying for you (and you don’t deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)

I don’t want an answer to this… I don’t want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But… On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say… get some help and take an honest look at yourself…

Mom

My wife and I both use the "thumbs down" method. It's funniest when we're both doing it to some ass-hat, while riding together.

It often de-escalates the person though, as if they don't know how to respond. They usually just make angry gestures and mutter (probably obscenities) to themselves, but their rage usually chills out a bit. It's almost like you make them aware of how childish they're acting

Capitalism VS Capitalism

Who's gonna win? Who knows!

Who's gonna ultimately lose? Well, who gives a fuck, as long as they winnnn!

Ehh, I'd prefer they bag it and put it in my trash bin, rather than just leaving a pile of shit in my yard. I'd honestly prefer neither, but using my bin to throw poop bags or even loose trash doesn't bother me too much

But my bin is also only on the curb when it's trash day. And they pick them up twice a week here, so a poop bag won't necessarily "marinate" in there for long. And I rinse the bin with a hose if it becomes gross, but that's rare because usually the rain will handle most of it

But that's just my particular situation, so it doesn't bother me as much. I could easily see how a multitude of different factors, might make the situation aggravating/infuriating

Never thought I'd feel lucky about my trash bin situation though. Sometimes it really is the little things I guess

How many people who drink alcohol can say that?

Thank you. When I was in my college days, I used to get bursts of horrible anxiety while tripping — wondering what the hell I would do if someone called me with an emergency. I got over that by realizing how many times I had been way too drunk, and would have been in the exact same predicament if someone called me with an emergency.

It helped me put a lot of perspective into it and not only stopped that anxious thought while tripping, but also created an awareness that helped me to enjoy (conscious-altering) recreations more safely

That was my first thought the first time I saw a full eclipse. It's just indescribably awing, ethereal... the lighting change, the mood, the animals reacting, everything. I'd have worshipped that shit too if I saw that in ancient times. I've been lucky enough to see two in my life, hoping to at least see a 3rd in my lifetime

Sort by 3 star reviews, then check out the 2's and 4's if needed

Fentanyl in weed can be a thing though. Scales used by dealers who are weighing different drugs, aren't necessarily cleaning the scale between use. Cocaine is the bigger offender in that scenario though, and can definitely lead to a way easier overdose than weed would

The urge to fact-check this is so strong, even though I know it to be inherently false. I want to believe

Holy. Shit... this is going to take a sec to sink in. I'm in awe of what I have learned here today. Thank you

Russia is part of the Asian continent

I put on my robe and wizard pirate hat

I wonder how many shill accounts are actively trying to sway the tide of opinion around here, especially during all of this uncertainty, excitement, and vulnerability.

Honestly curious, like if we could see a number for, "traffic increase in troll farm activity" or some shit.

And now you print what they told ya
