Because our whole government operates as if this still the 1800s and the only thing holding us together is the Pony Express.

And then we block that instance! Or it gets defederated.

I feel like these people could read and understand the Satanic Temples tenets and still try to blow something up.

"Individual choice and personal freedoms all while relying on science and reason??? Not on my watch!"

Edit typo

"Apparently my husband Kevin has invited you all to my party. There's very little street parking. No gifts. No singing of Happy Birthday. It should be fun."

If you participate in insurrection, you are not allowed to hold any office in the United States… except the highest apparently.

"Don't worry, I am good at emotion."

Rafael 'Ted' Cruz is still on his crusade against preferred names. Unironically, it seems.

That's why I loved StumbleUpon when it first came out. I discovered so many cool niche things that way.

"The futility of lighting candles only to blow them out immediately is just one reason I find children's birthday parties impractical."

It really does. My first thought was a lot of cities where it's run down and depressed and the more hipster artsy types show up for the cheap property and make something interesting. Eventually the affluent catch wind and show up to take advantage of what was created and price the originals out.

I don't know what any of those terms mean, but I support you in this!

That was my thought when they said X identified as conservative, Y liberal, the rest moderate or unsure.

How about none of the above since they're all right of center?

I'm practically full-time remote, though technically hybrid. But unlike the "x days at home, y days in the office" hybrid, we're wfh unless we have a reason to be in the office together for collaboration, which actually is helpful. So in reality, I go in a day or two every couple weeks or so. No complaints on my side.

Second Oregonian here, and also yup. We decriminalized but then decided not to require treatment (Portugal method), and then didn't fund treatment anyway.

Well, this thread has strengthened my desire to adopt a teen from foster care. I technically have/had a family but they were more like roommates than parents. Left at 18 and never looked back. Had my share of lonely holidays that I would dread when they came around. I'm not trying to say I've had the same story as those here, but I get some parts of it really well. I'm finally at a place where maybe I can prevent that from happening to someone else.

I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!

And my axe!

🙄

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!

Except "woman, man, person, TV, camera" isn't in the Bible, so he was all out of space to learn anything else.

But the the rich people's yacht money economy is doing well!
