It’s like when a kid grows up with an abusive father, watches his mom get punched and treated like an animal, and thinks “I’ll never be like that,” and then 15 years later he’s wondering how to make his knuckles less bloody when he teaches his wife a lesson.

Wouldn’t the more a accurate headline be “Fetterman is the only pro-Iran-War senator to claim to be a democrat?”

Can you imagine how furious the shareholders would be if we built hospitals and water treatment facilities with their money?!

You don’t want to discover you wanted to layer the queef track AFTER the artist has left the studio.

Joke’s on you, holy water fart bubbles are my kink

You can certainly compile and run your own apps, you need to pay the developer fee if you want to distribute the software to other people’s Macs or iOS, or use advanced features like iCloud integration or push messages.

Hell that’s most of the houses in my neighborhood and I’m in downtown Little Rock Arkansas. $500k home is not what it once was. If a house should be 3 to 5 times your salary, then a family of two incomes making $50k each are at home there. Not exactly Rothschilds.

Peace of death you say

In before everyone trashes IQ for being racist and pointless.

And I’m not saying it isn’t ethnocentric and a bit arbitrary. But walk around a Mensa meeting and you’ll see things in common.

Mostly that everyone is really socially inept if not outright problematic.

But 90% liberal, yeah.

Let’s let capitalism intervene until they’re all in a call center in India

I do a powerwalk with my dog once a day, 1/2 hour at least.

I didn’t really realize it was doing me good until I went on a hike with a friend.

1/4 way up the mountain, he was throwing up beside the trail, had to turn back.

My heart rate never went above 100, I was barely sweating.

Good habits build a good body.

Eyes his french press suspiciously

I thought there were multiple confirmations on that

Nothing about the % of Americans who think trans people should be able to play HS sports on their new gender.

Because that’s like 45%.

Or who think trans youth should have access to gender affirming care, which is similarly low.

And those are the issues that the GOP is hammering, because they know it.

We have to get the spotlight off these issues we got ahead of public perception and there is a cost for that - a whole generation of trans people denied rights (I am less interested in sports than I am gender affirming care, which is hugely important for trans youth).

You can see trans folks realizing this… like 1/2 of the plaintiffs for the sports case that made it to SCOTUS thought the suit should be dropped before it got that far, because they realized it was going to go the wrong way.

It’s time to be more strategic until/if the GOP gets out of power, so we stop kneecapping ourselves.

We saw what he’ll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he’s not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

Our last real election is in our rear-view mirror. People keep talking about the next president, the next Dem, I don’t think it’s a reality. We saw what he did the first time around - instigating a mob to storm the capitol. I don’t think this time he’ll be conceding, and I doubt he’ll let himself get into a position where conceding is even on the table. It’ll just a patchwork mess of states with fucked up elections, and it’ll be too much to reset in a couple of months before inauguration.

And just try reading it over the phone to someone, especially a non-native-english speaker.

My personal email is first initial with last name, which I can simply tell them without having to try to spell anything out.

I have a state job tho, and there it’s first initial and middle initial and last name, why the hell… now I can’t email a colleague without looking at a sheet to find their middle initial. Stupid.

My inlaws do a big 4th of July fireworks show, for many years a drone would come hover 100ft above us, recording it. We never found out who it was. Fairly creepy actually.

I have a drone and played with it a fair amount, drove it around my neighborhood, well beyond the “line of sight” requirement. I managed to hit trees several times because it doesn’t have fancy avoidance features. Hard to tell from the single camera when you’re rising up or backing into a tree branch.

Eventually I got bored tho. I did learn how to file flight plans, do all the things right. I live near an air force base, so there are entire sections of the city including parks where I cannot fly it.

Eventually it gets a little boring. I can’t wait for my toddler to get a bit older and then he will think it’s fun. For a week, and then he’ll get bored.

I got a hotdog at a food truck that appeared near my house a few years ago. I asked for just ketchup on the dog. She laughed and said “You’re a little boy! That’s OK, little boys get hotdogs too.” I’m like, lady I am giving you money right now, is there a version of this encounter where you’re not judging me?

He could have been President. He could have been a conservative but honorable and good president. I desperately wish we had Wes Clark instead of GWB or Trump, things would look a lot different.
