But I don’t want a plot that differs from classics like Hot Frosty and Knight Before Christmas.
- Comment on On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food? 2 weeks ago:
I buy it for my kids because they are on the spectrum and McDonald’s French fries are literally 1 of 7 foods one of them will eat. I would eat it, because I love it, but I have celiac and can’t.

Touche!

Because there are more important topics to cover, such as the fascist leanings of the other key candidate.

OMG, I saw a slutty Freddie Kruger costume at Spirit Halloween yesterday (but no non-slutty Freddie Kruger options for women). WTAF.

No one can explain this.
- Comment on Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay?? 1 month ago:
My mom has vitiligo and this doesn’t seem like it offensive, since it is part of a larger costume. Probably ok at a costume party with close friends or in play.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 1 month ago:
Lines can be long, polls have limited hours (often conflicting with work hours), a person may need a ride to the polling location, etc. Some states have stupid rules like you can’t give people in line to vote food or water, which makes standing in line for hours more challenging.

Wut. I screenshot the text exchange myself. He could have copied the phrase from somewhere, like YouTube, but a quick search did not generate a meme or gif. A family member posted it in another community a few weeks ago, so you could have seen it there.

I’m gonna go connect with him… emotionally.
- Comment on Having fun with text scams 1 month ago:
Unfortunately my parenting has resulted in an 8-year-old that has both a phone and a vocabulary like that. To be fair, he’s autistic and we use the phone as a homing device so he can play in the neighborhood more independently.

An exchange with a scam texter and my kid.

I hope this is a real LinkedIn post.
- Comment on Missed Connection 1 month ago:
I think the cyber truck is a fascinating piece of antiart. It looks like something Homer Simpson would design.

Inspiration at its finest.
- Comment on [USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax? 1 month ago:
I think the tax (including what is taxed and number of brackets) is state dependent. But generally speaking the idea is to not penalize people for buying necessities. But you are right, it is super confusing especially if not noted on the receipt. Check out Washington state’s rules if you want your brain to hurt: dor.wa.gov/education/…/retail-sales-tax#:~:text=S….

Nevermind the ordering and triangle shaped bread. What the f*** is the white stuff?!? Absolutely nothing on a PB&J should be white.

Is this about my husband? 😉
- Comment on Moms, I you were struggling with your child in public and a man offered to help, would you let him and why? 3 months ago:
Mom here. Depends on the situation. My dog once got off leash while I was pushing my kid in a stroller. She wouldn’t come near the stroller. A man watched the stroller while I got the dog. But I wasn’t far from my kid (10 feet, maybe) and the park was full of people. I likely wouldn’t accept help if my kid was just misbehaving.
- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 4 months ago:
Yes, all of those things. Also it makes exercising more comfortable.
- Comment on In your career, have you found a drama free workplace? 4 months ago:
There are some places that have a crazy office politics environment (2007 Microsoft, I’m looking at you). If that is the case, I would just change jobs.
However, if you just have annoying coworkers who are off topic, I would just steer the conversation back to work items (“oh, before I forget, can you tell me about [work related item]?”), then leave the conversation. Other tactics that work for me: look really awkward during personal conversation, never ask how someone is doing, wear headphones.
Someone once told me it’s important to care, but not that much. This has also helped me.
Beat of luck to you!!
