Cigarette butts really anger me. It’s a sign of entitlement that I hate. The person knows it’s smelly and disgusting, so they get it as far away from their person or car without a second thought.
I can be judgemental about it because I smoked for over 20 years. I kept a ziplock bag on me (kind of like you would for dog poop when walking your dog) and would keep em in there until I could find a trash can. The ashtray in my car was also used instead of throwing them out the window.
Now that I’ve quit the habit, I notice it even more. It’s awful. My father and mother in law throw their butts on our lawn literally every time they come over, even though they are fully aware that we don’t smoke. When I put a coffee can on the front porch and let them know that’s where they should throw them, they looked at ME like I was the rude one.
Judge em hard. Cigarette smokers have very little space for other people in their world.

Hard disagree. I never made it past the second episode of Disco and I completely understand what’s going on in SNW.
Everyone who has asked me that I’ve told them simply: “You know what happens to Pike? Well, now he does too.”

So you stand up and let the shit spread further?

I love all of the Apes movies with the exception of the Burton fiasco.
The new one isn’t quite as good as Rise or War, but it’s definitely fun.

The third in the original (Escape from the Planet of the Apes) is fricken awesome

I liked Kingdom but it was weaker than the trilogy of movies that came before it.

A glass of milk or sometimes a chai with milk will literally be my breakfast some days.
Milk rules.

That’s what I said

Yeah, lots of people in here saying “stop supporting corporations” as if it is not only easy, but simple to do.
Wanna cook whole foods? You growing your own or buying them from the Amish?
Wanna fix your own house (something I am currently doing), good luck finding a hardware/lumber supply that isn’t owned by one.
Want to use the internet?
It isn’t so simple. I think doing what you can with what you have is all anyone in the working class can really do. For some people it’s more, others less.
In the end, it seems like human history is a series of people with wealth and resources screwing over others, with brief bursts of progress.
Ugj.

It’s more of one guy’s commentary on toxic masculinity gone completely out of hand, at least according to the author.

- Comment on I've been wondering for some time 11 months ago:
There are PLENTY of dumb Muricans who make less than 30k a year who think their big break is coming.
Television and radio have been fueling American “exceptionalism” for so many decades that many DO believe that they will join the ranks of the billionaire class.

No, it won’t. Only those little bits.
Because that’s how the fediverse works.
You should like… not be so quick to call people ignorant. Especially when you’re displaying a lot of ignorance as to how this entire setup works.

Indiana is funny 'cause Parks and Rec really didn’t have to exaggerate how annoying they can be there.
Hoosiers are… something
