Literally had someone tell me they loved (exact words) seeing towns in Tennessee flooded out response to my recent microblog memes post 🙃 I also can’t tell you how many snide ass Dems I see saying that they brought it on themselves by living in a red state, like there aren’t people voting Dem there anyway, or like voting Dem is a magic ward to stop climate disaster from affecting you.

All these people hoarding TP must feel like morons now. (jk, they’re incapable of introspection)

It would be great if more people could look at this as “there but for the grace of God go I” and less as an opportunity to take a fat fucking dump on the unburied corpses of people they know nothing about.

They’re solid wood, it’s hard to misuse those so badly that they become nonfunctional unless you’re washing them in the dishwasher (terrible for all wood) or letting them sit in dirty dishes for ages or something. I haven’t had any issues with the wooden spoons I got from them several years ago.

Ikea has them for $2-8, depending on the size and type of wood. $85 is for twee decoration or something, yikes.

Yeah, I don’t think it was intended to be comprehensive given that it was a single sentence.

Stainless steel is lighter, and more importantly doesn’t contain flame retardant.

My siblings live in an area affected by Helene, and I thank fucking god the one that works in a warehouse has the Gen Z attitude of “get fucked lol” when it comes to employers.

When the worst of the storm was coming through the stance of county 911 was that if you call they’re not coming unless someone is about to die. And yet some of these companies expect people to risk their lives to show up for $10-15 an hour? It’s insane.

I understand why everyone can’t just tell their employer to go fuck themselves, it’s just a horrible situation if you ever find yourself in the position of having to make the call of, ‘do I lose my job for what may or may not be a genuine emergency?’

I’ve legitimately never heard polyglot used to mean “speaks two languages”, I thought it meant “speaks three or more languages.” I can understand it being useful to have a specific term for people raised with two languages from birth/very early childhood though.

Really wanting to post this in reply to the guy on my Nextdoor neighborhood who is always posting about UFOs when we live near an active airport and can easily see launches from a nearby AFB, lol

Peter Jackson didn’t even ask him to eat like that, he just started doing it and they were too scared to stop filming.

Normal person reading that: particle accelerator from TEMU

Me: oh god, there are TEMU particles??

For me, hourly movement reminders and medication reminders without having to constantly keep my phone in my pocket has been a godsend. Keeping track of my heart rate (especially while asleep) has also been great for being more aware of when my PTSD symptoms are acting up. I’m also never going back to a sound based alarm instead of a vibrating one, no idea if regular watches have that now too or not.

Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.

If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I played a ROM of that when I was younger! It’s the text based game right?

If you don’t like the game, at least listen to the soundtrack. It’s still one of the best game soundtracks IMO.

Also, this is pure pet peeve, but have you ever seen that MBFC has a rating for itself? It pops up if someone links to it in the body of the post.

The highest possible scores in both categories, of course. 🙄

Tuning into CSPAN like people tune in to NASCAR races to see if anyone’s going to die.

Ask your vet if they think it’s a good idea to let your cat eat random wild birds during an outbreak of H5N1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like bird watching too, and it’s easier to do without a predator scaring them off.
