I’m not sure how you interpreted my comment to mean that “Mommy and Daddy” would need to pull her out. I only suggested they be there with love and not shame so she doesn’t stop speaking to them.

She’s an adult and I assume she’s mentally capable. Just support her and when/if she ever regrets her decision, she’ll have you around to lean on.

If you openly hate on her decision or shame her for it, you’re only going to drive her away or make her even more firm in her choice.

I hate how far away the cat is and how alone it seems that far down :(

I know dead beings can’t feel emotions but I can’t help it.

I’m from “you guys” but I’ve lived in “y’all” and now I’m forever team “y’all,” regardless of where I’m living.

It’s the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

Every time I see a question in a news headline, I just answer it with “no.” in my head and move on. 90% of the time it’s the same answer the article arrives at and the other 10% of the time, I’ll see a real headline about it from other sources anyway–with the actual lede in the title.

Don’t forget that if we pull funding from Ukraine, the proxy war with Russia will potentially morph into the most peaceful war between Russia and our allies.

Yep. From a systems analyst perspective, if there’s a problem with a couple people, it’s because they’re idiots. If a lot of people are having a problem, it’s a systems issue. In this case, the DNC and their shit messaging.

It’s like they hired an intern to do their marketing. They had a few funny clap backs on socials but they didn’t actually pivot to appeal to their target demographics. Fucking marketing 101.

Everyone needs to take their anger straight to their local DNC office. Get involved and stop letting the centrist status-quo motherfuckers steer the party from the local levels. I’m also a member of my nearest DSA group but, until there’s a viable option for third parties to complete in general elections, we need to hold our noses and trojan horse the Democrats to change them from within.

I feel like I’ve just started listening after zoning out while someone is trying to explain a new TTRPG.

“I’m one of the good ones!”

If I have to see a thousand posts about Trump listening to music at a rally for thirty minutes or Elon’s stupid taxi, then goddamn it, I can enjoy watching a somewhat progressive up-and-comer and a midwestern treasure be humans for five minutes.

If you don’t like any of the above, you’re in for a shock if you want to follow literally any news feed.

This is adorable. I love his commentary.

Oh, it is already that time of the week where the media pushes this as new information?

Wake me up when his drafty attic actually results in removal from the Republican ticket or breaks through the Republican voter information blockade.

n+1 here, but I’m a bi woman married to a straight man and I’ve started using partner more recently because there’s a lot of baggage in the history of power dynamics associated with the titles of husband and wife.

I also hope it makes people think for a minute if they need to ask me clarifying questions about my marriage status or sexuality/how the person I’m married to identifies.

At the same time, I totally understand the impact of not using generic words when it comes to gay marriage, where there was such a long fight to be recognized as husband and husband. So cheers to you and your husband!

I started in order to advance the deep state woke agenda and get paid by Soros, personally.

Yes, I love how much actual, genuine discussion happens here. The level of bots and trolls and astroturfing is nowhere near Reddit.

Sounds like he needs to cut that monster out of his life.

Is one of the owners RFK Jr?

Then you breathe a sigh of relief, merge it with a comment of “bug fix”, write no documentation–especially about how it failed testing, and quit the gig during the inevitable helpdesk explosion; walking away from the fireball like the Michael Bay maniac you are.
