I don’t know, a lawn with just a small portion mowed and the rest standing tall? That shit would haunt me in my own afterlife.

Disability denied....return to work denied.
I don’t know if it would be helpful (it may be harmful, who knows…), but I can’t imagine a local news station not being interested in this story. I can hear it now:
Coming up, a local working mom sought permission from her job to pump milk for her newborn during her shift, a practice approved for thousands of working moms nationwide. But her employer said no, and now she’s being forced to find employment elsewhere. 5 on your side investigates next.

Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch
Cool, but you know who isn’t getting a free lunch now? Those millionaires who worked so hard for that money. What have those kids done to earn theirs?
/s, to be clear. I wish these cool places to live (e.g, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan) weren’t so fucking cold. Why can’t there be a nice liberal southern state?

[Answered] Why is the consumption of Meat considered bad
Reply in thread
I remember driving through Iowa and seeing vast fields of corn and learning that the majority of that corn was not even destined for human consumption. That kinda blew my mind.

Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?
Reply in thread
Uh, I use bar soap and it doesn’t smell bad. There a loads of small, cottage soap makers who are making really great (and great smelling) soaps. I just prefer those over body wash or whatever.

Canada mulling ‘game plan’ if U.S. takes far-right, authoritarian shift, Joly says
Can that game plan involve letting me and my family relocate to Canada? Please?

What is an iconic catchphrase from your grandparents?
Two that I often quote:
Into each life, a little rain must fall. (almost always delivered sarcastically)
And:
Well, people in hell want ice water.
I loved that woman. Wish I would have known her better.

Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says

Alone is a great show. But I’ve got to tell you, while I watch and know I do not (currently) possess the skills to do what those folks do, there is a draw for me to want to do it. I mean I’m sure I’m over-romanticizing the thing to an extent, and - again - I know enough about me to know I can’t do it today, but there’s a distinct pull to want to.

She invited four people over for lunch. A week later, three were dead.

My kids would be fine - they hate mushrooms (and most vegetables) right now. Me, on the other hand? I’d be dead.

John Eastman Comes Clean: Hell Yes We Were Trying to Overthrow the Government
Reply in thread
I know the answer would be ridiculous if we ever even got one, but I would love to hear about these intolerable abuses or threats of abuses these people were (and presumably still are since, you know, they weren’t successful) facing. That’s not to say there aren’t people in this country dealing with some pretty intolerable things, but I just don’t seem to see them (or hear about their issues) at Trump rallies.

In 15 hours I barged into a barn where two monsters were having sex, accidentally became worshiped by fish people and lost my eye to an amateur surgeon.
::: spoiler Possible Act 1 Spoilers re: Goblin Camp I managed to get into the Goblin Camp temple without killing anyone outside the big front doors. Once inside, I ended up killing everyone. When I tried to walk back out the front door, everyone went hostile. I ran back in and they didn’t follow, which was odd, but okay. I didn’t think I’d be able to beat the mass horde outside in a giant melee battle, so instead I blessed, bard songed, and sanctuaried Asterion and gave him the misty step necklace. He walked outside by himself and was beset by everyone, but he managed to dash, misty step, and hide his way to safety. From there, he poked around the edges, picking off single foes with his long bow and causing some chaos before sneaking back into the shadows. On my third probe, though, I got careless, and it looked like he might get overrun. Then the other three emerged into a now empty courtyard with the goblins all looking away. Wiped out the rest of the goblins and cleared the whole camp. Ultimately, my favorite part of this whole thing is imagining my PC bard telling Asterion inside the temple, “So, I know you’re not going to like this, but I’ve got a plan to get us out of here…” :::

I read this as “Erection Ejection” and for some reason that shit alone cracked me up, then thinking of Trump saying, “Erection Ejection!” cracked me up more. Well done, I needed the laugh.

“Many organizations that attempted to force a return to the office have had to retract or change their plans because of employee pushback, and now, they don’t look strong,” says Kacher, the president of Career/Life Alliance Services. “A lot of executives have egg on their faces and they’re sad about that.”
Well, boo fucking hoo for them.

Biden launches ‘most affordable ever’ student loan repayment plan
Reply in thread
Honestly I think this is better on the whole. Not if you were going to get your loans forgiven - I get that - but for today and tomorrow’s borrowers, this policy will be a positive thing and will still help current debt holders, too.

Similarly, it’s a bit broken that you see the perception check failed notifications. Like, ok, I don’t know what is there, but I know something is there. In real life I’d have no idea and I’d go on about my day.

Well, she was raped, so I don’t really know what her age has to do with it here (other than to make it maybe subjectively more bad than just regular old adult-on-adult rape, but I digress).
