- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. How does one deal with grief or loss in a safe way without turning to alcohol or drugs? 3 hours ago:
When I lost someone decades ago, a friend of mine said,“Allow yourself 3 days to grieve. Then remember them happily.” It helped me.
- Comment on How come there has never been a second WPA enacted by Roosevelt? Did it not help America by leaps and bounds? 1 day ago:
It sure would be nice to cut back on paying our mercenary military and have them instead sign up for some domestic public works program instead. Better bang for the welfare buck, and more importantly, better for the country.
- Comment on For Californians: are there any major issues with prop 39? 1 week ago:
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I voted no, for all the reasons. Until there is credible election issues, why would anyone need to strengthen confidence in elections? People who believe there is widespread election fraud aren’t tapped into reality anyway.
- Comment on Shut up and take our money: Amazon plows $1B+ into quashing datacenter dissent 2 weeks ago:
Jesus christ. Tax wealth! Holy hell our gov’t is shit.
- Comment on The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve already contacted my senators twice to voice my hope that they don’t vote for the gerontocracy. I also contacted Schumer’s office to ask him to retire, for the sake of our country. Not that I think it’ll do much, but it’s something.
- Comment on Should I move out? 3 weeks ago:
Try it out. Maybe it’ll be great, in which case yay! Maybe it’ll be the same, in which case at least you’ll know.
- Comment on As I don't say I will kill the president, can I at least allude to threatening? Like the 86 47 guy? 3 weeks ago:
If you can say “We need to throw out the president.” You can also say “We need to 86 47”. Where’s the threat, I don’t think it’s ever meant killing. Maybe “187 47” would trigger some pearl clutching if you’re in California.
- Comment on Only 25 per cent of children walk to school alone compared to 86 per cent in 1971. What went wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Where I live there is a high school a block away in one direction, and a middle school a block away in the other direction. School starting and ending is just a massive cluster fuck of parents picking up or dropping off their kids. It’s so weird.
- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 5 weeks ago:
Where I am, way cheaper for upkeep to have on poles. Some jackass is trying to force my entire neighborhood to underground our power lines for no reason other than aesthetics and they say it’ll cost the average homeowner here $50k each. If it goes through I’m thinking of Molotov cocktailing the fucker’s house.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 5 weeks ago:
Consumers, like voters, are stupid and hold a lot of things more important than values and morals.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
And the number one movie was called “Ass”. And that’s all it was.
- Comment on My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app. 1 month ago:
I mean, by that reasoning you shouldn’t use a bank either because so many of them have fraudulent history.
- Comment on My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app. 1 month ago:
Credit Unions are one of the many things (like bidets, buckwheat pillows, etc.) that you hear about, but don’t really know what you’re missing until you use them.
- Comment on So are they like extinct or something? 1 month ago:
LOL.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I really like the way Veronica thinks about, and uses, technology. It’s fits with my digital aesthetic.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
It should be tied to some multiple of the zip codes median rent.
- Comment on Wrong number 1 month ago:
Supernatural was such a crappy show. It amazed me that it ran as long as it did.
- Comment on Just checking in to see if anyone cares that the mumbling turtle is still on full salary while being MIA for two-and-a-half months 1 month ago:
Sometimes it feels that Katie Phang is the only person who’s been able to keep her focus.
- Comment on Just checking in to see if anyone cares that the mumbling turtle is still on full salary while being MIA for two-and-a-half months 1 month ago:
I’m for age limits more than term limits.
- Comment on Popular erectile dysfunction drug linked to eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss 1 month ago:
Yeah, this is just an updated “You’ll go blind if you keep doing that!!”
- Comment on I need an adult 2 months ago:
I spent way too much time sitting in the backseat looking out the window on long family drives wondering why the fuck they kept referring to the orange cheddar cheese as “yellow” cheese. Still kind of annoys me today after decades of getting older and settling down a bit.
- Comment on Friends. 2 months ago:
Seinfeld and Friends was just the worst era. Fucking dumb ass work associates wanting to talk about vapid bullshit shows. So awful.
- Comment on What paper feels the best when you drag your fingers across it? 2 months ago:
For me it’s always been about feel. It’s been some years since I worried about my paper quality, but I used to go to the stationary or office supply store and spend way to much time picking out a ream of what I thought felt best. This was only if I was printing it out on the laser for a paper, or later, presentations. The lack of quality of my penmanship would make the quality of the paper pretty irrelevant otherwise.
- Comment on What paper feels the best when you drag your fingers across it? 2 months ago:
I’ve always been a sucker for a good cotton linen paper.
- Comment on Do elaborate on the accusations of "toxicity" 2 months ago:
No worries. I saw a couple posts yesterday and didn’t know what was going on. From what you wrote, you may just be me.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I honestly was thinking it was some language quirk that I just didn’t understand.
- Comment on Do elaborate on the accusations of "toxicity" 2 months ago:
This gives a pretty good summary:
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The two answers you got didn’t really answer your question. I’m still with you as far as confusion about not making
* (100 - 1 + 1)just100. - Comment on It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive History 2 months ago:
Like so much over the past decade or so, I really thought it was a joke when I first saw one.
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 2 months ago:
Hopefully they learned from recent history and do it right this time around.
