And to add my own experience; if you have family you despise, don’t worry. They’ll outlive the heat death of the universe.

I 100% believe it could happen.

You see, I, too, was once an awkward nerdy middle school girl and the go-to move for showing a guy you liked him was to get way into one of his hobbies.

Mine is “Dogs.” The combination of the message and the barking in the solo is just…

Wow.

What a defense (that makes you a worse person.)

God I love Pink Floyd!!

I’m am American baker and I know this is anecdotal but I’ve always cut sugar in half (or more) and I have nothing but rave reviews. Someone just paid me $100 for a cake. And I’m a hobbyist.

I think that most people here just don’t know better, have never tried it any other way. And when you show them how it can be… they fall in love.

ETA: from recipes I get elsewhere. Most of my repipes are my own at this point.

She needed just one good screw.

I enjoyed this immensely. Especially the whelks.

I knew there weren’t any women involved.

I really enjoyed explaining to a friend that the headline about outlawing child genital mutilation was referring to circumcision.

…that was sarcasm.

In the early 2000s working for a major telecommunications company we were told that it took 10 positive experiences to hear back from someone (who was happy with what you did,) but for negative experiences, it averaged less than 3.

I don’t know if that’s a universal rule or what but I always operate on the assumption that people love to bitch more than they love to praise.

That is John Fucking Zoidberg, and he deserves more respect.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a “sweet” husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it’s absurd.

Why did I read this like patch notes on a game?

“I made fun of everyone.”

Did he make fun of Trump supporters? Or… white people in general?

The ads write themselves. And I believe that pizza would print money.

I have experienced aaaaAAaa pretty much daily for years.

I want to offer you a new superpower.

When I say, “bless you,” when someone sneezes, if someone asks me, “You aren’t religious! Who are you asking to bless me?” I answer;

“No one. I’m the one blessing you.”

So I guess, this time, you could say, “You’re doing a good thing.”

The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.

Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.

My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)

Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?

I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!

I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.

I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.

I want to add, get in the habit of helping people and never telling anyone. Every day is a good day to practice helping people around you and not getting caught. Help someone take in their shopping. Help a stranger jump their car. Help an unhoused person get groceries. The less you hear strangers, friends, or family saying they saw you help someone, the more you’ll know you can do it in the future, when being seen is dangerous.

I do… a lot to help people. As often as I can. And every time I get zero recognition, I know I passed a stealth check.

Also, remember, if you’re helping someone and someone else asks what you were doing, now is a time to practice obfuscation.
