⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨corporate America just posted record profits this week. The stock market is at all time highs. If your paycheck didn't do the exact same thing, take a wild guess why. Their record margins are literal…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not just energy prices, it’s also climate change causing shortages, and tariffs levied on imports by the big orange.

For those who have forgotten the 2020 primaries, she also had no rizz.

I get it, they were afraid of losing the funds they had raised, but it stood to reason that everyone who wanted Biden to step down would see her as partly responsible too.

I’m a tin hat wearer who doubts the veracity of some of the 2024 election results… So I’m on the fence of whether that would have been different with a more compelling Democratic candidate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The perfect date⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I wish US Americans would do this, but when I try to use it, it’s too ambiguous with our mm/dd/yyyy format that already exists. So, I think the US will have to go with YYYYMMDD. That’s the most straightforward and easy to understand methods of switching to an entirely numeric date sequence that is logical.

I’m not sure what you think it means to take things personally? None of my response had anything to do with my personal experience in life.

And I could provide some! I’ve been on a road trip through the Spanish countryside where I was scoffed at and waved away at 3-4 restaurants for asking (as someone with Celiac!) if they had comida sin gluten. So I’ve definitely gone hungry as a tourist before. Didn’t love it! Wouldn’t recommend rural Southern Spain to anyone with Celiac!

I’ve done the bread and cheese thing in Paris back when I could eat bread. It was fine, you know, since I didn’t have to go hungry.

Due to logic like yours, I guess the most rational thing is to recommend against visiting Japan for anyone who isn’t Japanese? Or Japanese speaking at least. Save your money, folks!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Japan 🌸⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

your poor planning for mealtimes isn’t an emergency on their part

What does this even mean with regards to a tourist staying in a tiny hotel room? How much grocery shopping and meal preparation of their own are you expecting tourists to engage in?!

Your response in general is crazy. “If they won’t serve you, just don’t eat.”

“If Kim Davis won’t give you a marriage license, just don’t get married.” “If the school bars your children from attending, just don’t send them to school.”

This is really the whole thing, regardless of how developed the baby is.

Imagine a fully formed child or adult with a liver problem. Science comes up with some way that someone of similar genetics can be physically connected to them and filter their blood for them and keep them alive while they wait for a transplant. Should the person who can physically sustain another person’s body be legally required to do so?

So far, less invasive versions of this say no: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McFall_v._Shimp

You can’t even force dead bodies to donate organs.

You see how that works, cave person?

I see how you can’t distinguish between preference and hatred, yes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men against bush⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
If a beard hair getting in your mouth isn’t a strong enough reason for you to shave your beard, then it’s not a deal breaker/ you don’t hate it.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt that your feelings between your own hairs and her are similar.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men against bush⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Having a preference for A over B is not the same thing as hating B.

“I love you… But only when you go through extra effort to modify yourself for me.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men against bush⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Nah man. If you hate how it comes naturally, then you don’t actually like it.

But I’m a middle aged woman, so I think the ‘male gaze’ and its judgemental subjugation can fuck all the way off.

I tried to reference my husband’s penis as “our penis” to him, and he was all “Absolutely not.”

I was like, “We only have the one between us! We have to share!”

He was unmoved.

Whoa whoa whoa. I said will never be punished, not should never be punished.

And Trump and Putin are both still alive.

Ok ok, hear me out, what if they were harvested neurons from someone everyone wishes had gotten punished for their crimes, but never was? Hitler or Stalin? Or Trump! Or Putin!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They seemed nice and normal until....⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
When contractors get buckets of money from the government, for their own purposes and maybe for contract legality purposes, they have to allocate/ specify how that money is spent towards each aspect of an effort. So they break a program down into tasks, and assign specific pots of money towards each task with an associated code to enter when you log your time working on those tasks.

So someone in the management of his current program got obsessed with how every single dollar was spent, and decided they needed to triple the amount of charge codes they had to more closely track the work. It sounded annoying as fuck. But it was also annoying as fuck to have to discuss something so trivial for hours.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They seemed nice and normal until....⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Oh my gawd, I had to walk away from my husband on his fourth rant of the week about his deputy PM’s obsession with charge numbers. I can’t handle another rant about those fucking charge numbers.

Don’t worry, only rich communities’ public school were/ are like that in Texas. Schools are funded at the district-level in Texas, so poor communities go to poor schools and wealthy kids go to wealthy schools. If districts get so big that they encompass both, sometimes the wealthy residents try to stage a coup and split the district into wealthy and poor.

Sigh. It do be like that thought.

I think it sounds wrong because the letter “U” is pronounced “yew”, and y is not a vowel. You would never say ‘an yurt’ or ‘an yogurt’. If it was prounced “oo”, then “an oo F O” would sound correct.

But as it is, it just sounds wrong. And whether technically correct or not, I reject it!

Prion disease, like generic mutations, really boggles my sense of self. There’s no foreign invader battling your own parts for survival. It’s just the substrate that life gets built upon getting fucked up. It highlights the literal truth in the metaphor that we are biological machines.

When a link is dead, does Wikipedia allow you to change it to an archived copy of the webpage from before it was taken down?

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon lives on a budget⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I think that if someone works enough hours to be full-time (although, Google says 30 hrs/wk, which is less than full-time) the ACA requires the employer to provide some kind of health insurance option or assistance to the employee. So the post is saying employers have multiple part time employees instead of full time employees so they don’t have to pay for health insurance. I.e., the employer is shitty and unethical, or “smart” as it’s considered in Trump’s America.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon lives on a budget⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I am really shocked when I hear these budgets that more people aren’t trying communal living, or at least roommates. When I was young and broke, that is what I did.
