Well personally ive only been actually inside the post office to do something like 6 times in my life, and im in my 30’s, its always something new too. Sorry if i hold yall up

Its what Trump wished his rallies looked like

I genuinely try so hard. I love cooking, and im the main chef of the family. Really thought id turn it into a career at one point.

The bottom line for everyone is money. Its just unsustainable for most people to prepare food. The price of everything fresh has doubled or tripled, while pre packaged garbage is the same price (or maybe a few cents more than it used to be). My household just got out of qualifying for poverty assistance stuff, we make about 60 a year. I cannot fathom being where i was when i was 18 but in todays america.

I genuinely feel so awful for the younger generation. The min wage federal is the same dogshit its always been. I live in a state that has 15$ min but too little too late, its not enough today. I cant imagine these kids are eating better than i was their age. In fact im willing to bet they eat worse in general than i did.

It feels like were watching the fall of america happen in real time. Food is just one of the many many symptoms of a waning empire.

Ive always put the lid down along with the seat. I believe its more sanitary and has the added benefit of women not falling fully in the bowl like when the seats up. Ive done this for about 15 years.

A few years after I started doing this, I was spending the night at my friend’s house. I had to get up early to go to work, so I was first up. My friends mother got up next apparently. I was bombarded with texts and such, her mom was angry because she got up and went to the bathroom and just went for it after she sat down. Queue giant liquid waste mess to clean and an angry start to her day.

All these years later, I still think its one of the funniest things I’ve ever been part of in real life.

Really? Because I predict that millions of Americans wont be voting Democrat or at all because of the utter incompetence of the Dems. Not to mention the immediate bending over for the GOP after winning 3(?) Elections, reopening the govt in exchange for a promise, when the right was in the worst position it has been in decades and just when they were really feeling the heat.

Plus, we all want the democrats to be the ones to make reasonable laws we can all get behind but they dont do that. Like the “high capacity” magazine bans. In a time where more leftists are arming themselves than ever before, nobody wants that. They keep warning of a fascist takeover while simultaneously disarming citizens. Or the fact they voted to fund the military to the tune of $1 trillion. Or the democrats that voted with Republicans against youth trans care. Or their response to most republican shenanigans, a strongly worded letter.

Democrats have been doing nothing but fumbling the easiest victories they could ever have over and over again. Idk how anyone can expect democrats to win anything with this old guard establishment demo still in power.

Say what you will about the GOP, and I hate what their doing as well. But at the end of the day they get their shit done. For better or worse, at least they dont just sit on their power. I wish I could say the same about the dems

Were the only country that states in its law on the ICC/Hague that we will invade if any American is held tried or convicted there.

Ive never really saw it like that. I felt it was more a point about “intelligence” breeding uncertainty and using logic to find the “perfect time”. Worlds on fire? We wait. Weird guys is pres? We wait. Were not financially stable? We wait. And then they waited until it was too late. Meanwhile “less intelligent” people, although I think just more irresponsible, are banging out a bakers dozen per couple at a rate that the waiters can’t possibly hope to come close too. That combined with societal problems like lack of education, corporation looting of our country, cuts to programs that care for people and children, especially making sure kids go to school and dont get left behind. Its all gone, and the few places you can find it are also the places who look at the world and decide to wait, resulting in worst birth rates.

All this combining to make a situation where breeding with reckless abandon is rewarded by society, because the “intelligent” humans are so seldom having kids, that theyre outnumbered 13 to 1 at least. Thus the world goes about how you’d expect.

The thing I dont like is the weight of intelligence in this movie. Yeah its a main theme, but there’s so much nuance. Fish are great at swimming, but can’t climb a tree. My boy that had 13 kids iirc was a football star in his school, probly knows how to fix things, cars plumb8ng electrical etc etc. Or has some other skill that he excels in. I dont like that humans that dont know calculus and trig are stupid. Smart couple probly can’t fix their stove, probly get take advantage of by the “stupid” at the car dealer. We’ll whos stupid know.

I think there’s more nuance to this film than meets the eye, but because media literacy is at an all time low, people only see it as haha stupid people (the people im already against are the stupid) and they destroy society. I dont think thats all this movie is

Just my two cents, sry for the wall of text.

Having a kid is the most selfish thing one can do with their life. You’re saying “I like myself and my partner so much and think we’re so good for the world that im going to make a mini copy of me and my partner, because the world needs more of us”

Can’t force you to have kids, the kids aren’t asking to be conceived or born. Only person making that decision is you and its a selfish one.

I say this as a father of two girls

The proposal itself shouldnt be a surprise, when it happens should.

Like, you should know they want to marry you before you do it. But the whole ceremony of a formal proposal can and should be left a surprise!

I feel like there’s a difference between constructive criticism for a dm and outright shifting on their attempt. I feel the group did the latter

I wont lie about still being a bit salty, especially since it was our 3rd round with new dm, the group had a few people (me as well) who wanted to dm. So we kinda took turns. I played through the good and bad of the other campaigns, dont care still had fun. I just dont know what changed when it was my turn.

Its easier to paint all gun owners as reckless at best, criminals at worst, when you have dumbasses like this walking around. Truth is, the vast majority of american gun owners I’ve met have been strict followers of the 4 rules. If I ever meet someone who isn’t, they immediately become strangers after I leave the situation. Ill try to correct behavior, but not everyone is receptive. Thats where common sense gun laws would be great to have, like proving competency with a firearm and the safety rules especially, every year if you want a ccw. Unfortunately, the ccw in my state is an online course with 10 questions at the end, and fees and a waiting list to get your physical card. I could (and did, but did not carry until confident with my setup) get this ccw without ever having fired the gun I intend to carry, much less handled it safely.

Also, for people less familiar, if you are ever handed a firearm, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CLEAR IT YOURSELF. Just because someone clears it in front of you, does not make it clear. I dont care if the person field strips it in front of me, the first thing im doing after they hand it to me is clearing it myself.

Gun owners reading maybe? Please be more reponsible/safe with your firearms. Be as safe as you think you should, then be a little safer. There’s countless little things to work on, like not breaching the fire line or responsible clearing before leave line. We all take a huge responsibility when we decide to carry concealed. You have to delete your ego, you can’t be short fused. There’s no room for prejudice, or stupidity. You alone are responsible for what comes out of your weapon, and if the responsibility is shrugged off, tragic things happen that you have to live with. Don’t mess around, stay sharp.

Treat EVERY GUN as if its loaded (imagine that rounds can magically appear if you set it down or take eyes off, because they sometimes do!) Keep your finger off the trigger until ready and safe to fire. (Keep your booger hook off the bang switch!) Do not point your firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy (whether youre firing or not, whether its loaded or not) Fully know your target and all things behind it(bullets have a tendency to keep going)

I got roasted so hard by my last group when I tried to first time dm tyranny of dragons (to be fair, the first part of it is combat heavy and I didn’t handle it as well as I could have) and it triggered my anxiety about it so hard that I dropped from the group and havent played in 5 years

I mean I think its cool too! The amount of time I’ve had to drive with a drink between my legs because of not enough cup holders is crazy, its super cool that it not only fits all the drinks, but the carrier as well. Less of a chance of spillage. Stuff like this wouldve been a gamechanger when I was doing food delivery gig work

Any streaming piracy site is def the worst, like bingewatch.tv

Just use adblockers

Damn yall are openly hostile towards this OP who just wanted to share something they thought was cool. Im glad none of yall have ever ridden in a vehicle that’s oversized for what you need and have never not once drank anything from a paper or plastic cup. Good for you.

Coca cola down the street from my house dumps tons and tons of pollution into the air, water, and land of America with their manufacturing, but this guy is the problem.

Just being supportive like we all are going through this together right? Also those transfems lived as a man at one point in their lives, probly heard a lot of lessons about “being a man”, may even have had a father that imparted the basic man skills. Just like transfems will listen to advice from women or transmasc, its all valid and helpful. For a group so prone to self deletes and just general loneliness and depression, extreme anxiety, and not being able to connect with people or their community depending on if theyre out or how deep in the closet they are, I feel strongly that this post just perpetuates that we are different and therefore dont belong in the same space. The transfems that see this and internalize it are now more likely to not engage with the rest of the community because their advice isn’t valued, their presence isn’t necessary, and their opinion invalidated because they made the decision to transition.

There’s already enough culture war bulls bullshit and real world threats of violence in the trans community and it doesn’t need to be furthered by a some culture war bull inside of the community.

And to every transfem (transmasc too!) You matter, your opinion matters, just because you no longer live that life does not mean you dont know anything about it. You belong in this space as much as anyone and people who react like this to someone just trying to be helpful have their own hangups.

Personally, I would welcome transmasc advice anyway because they probly know how to do makeup and I could use help. I mean, doesn’t that knowledge still apply? Like my knowledge of shaving, repair work (cars and such) beard maintenance, weightlifting, interacting with cis men etc etc?

Me saying Alec Baldwin was responsible for what he did, and should’ve faced consequences for it. Downvotes aplenty, but I stand by my belief

Yes

Imagine a world where they extend that new sideload rule to “android for pc”. Then they get pc manufacturers to start pushing arm procs instead of normal pc procs. Then all new arm computers come standard with “android for pc”, with a locked down bootloader. They become popular because of the tech illiterate who enjoy the fact their pc works the same as their phone. They take over the market with these android pc’s.

Then we long for the days of windows, and preloaded linux on new computers becomes even rarer. Remind me in 5 years when im right
