I hope they sold the old chair and used the money for the poor, but they probably just tucked it in the attic

Part of growing up is challenging the ideas you got from your parents and learning to treat people with the respect you’d like them to use with you. If she wants to continue being friends she needs to do this part of growing up.

I don’t know where you live but in California, the crows are native species.

Edit: so if they eat a sparrow they’re defending the environment

And yet it’s not positioned for you to look out the window

Certainly don’t sell now. You’ll soon be seeing the combined pressure of the moneyed on Trump, and he’s nothing if not chaotic anyway. “Strategy” is just what he calls his whim of the moment. This may not be the end of the dip yet, but the whole tariff scheme will fall apart and stocks will rally. You could, without touching anything right now, take a look at the stocks that your fund is made of, and see if you want to make changes for ethical or practical reasons, so you’re ready to do so on the upswing. But let the big money investors throw their weight around first.

Mostly because we’re stuck supporting the red states that suck at the Federal titty.

Not them, but mashed potatoes! You’ll need to add more milk than if you boiled the potatoes, but that’s good calcium you’re getting. Could also be an ingredient for gnocchi. It would freeze fine, because you’re gonna smoosh it around after thawing anyway.

You might as well cook the whole pack of bacon too, because frozen cooked bacon slices are convenient and keep well.

“Mysagonist” misogynist… Typo or am I missing a joke about agony under Stalin?

Ice cubes peppermint gum. To chew when others are having dessert. I’ve eaten, I don’t need empty calories, but my teeth are still hungry. Gum gives them something to do, and the little crunch of Xylitol helps it feel more like eating than other sugarless gums.

Hitler Youth

The fact they kept the lid the same size probably helps the deception, especially once there’s no old cans to compare it to. This could actually work out to be a good thing if people buy fewer sugary sodas while thinking they’re drinking about the same

If any good comes of this shit show, it might be that our terrible example causes other countries to pull back from the fascist agenda

Well, I hate you, but that’s just personal.

Should we be shaming him for his genderhumanoid-affirming care?

There’d be no shame in being OCD anyway. And I do realize it’s pedantic to point out spelling/grammar errors in such an informal setting. But maybe someone will use the correct “pallet” or “its” or “defuse” on a job application or some other important document because they remembered a correction they saw here.

Or sometimes we taught elementary school for too long. It’s only worth doing when the rest of the post is correct and erudite, when an error creates confusion, or when I have a helpful mnemonic to offer. No shaming, especially English learners. Sadly, no OCD excuse for me. Undiagnosed ADD, probably.

Your first it’s is correct. It is Latin.

Your second it’s should be its. The definition belongs to the word. But to be fair, I typed it correctly, and then just now had to go back and fix the autoincorrection. So that probably happened to you as well.

Jokes aside, warm or hot horchata is yummy

You think we’re going to be allowed to ignore President’s Day this year?

If there isn’t a military parade in the streets For The God-Emperor, it’ll be a protest march to Remind Him He’s a President, Not a God-Emperor.

Maybe both.
