I feel so conflicted. A post that isn’t a shitpost has absolutely triggered me; does that mean it’s a successful shit post?

If someone is an absolute pro at rage-baiting, does that make them a master-baiter?

LOL

On an unrelated note, my g/f dragged me out to a pokemon con, and I got to watch her get her psyduck pokemon card autographed by the actor that voices psyduck. We got to talk to him for a bit, and I asked him, “Is this your easiest voice acting job? I mean, you have 1 line.”

Wanna send a big “fuck you” shout out to the person that down voted me for sharing. Now your down vote is justified.

I agree with this. Remember, we are not free until we are ALL free. Trans rights are non negotiable. Brown people’s rights are non negotiable. Women’s rights are non negotiable.

No one wants post coital, frothy lube with traces of shit coming out of the fountain. Santorum is the last person you want to call.

I commented without reading what everyone else had to say, and the first words I typed were, “Is Walgreen’s your pharmacy too?”

What would piss me off is that they would constantly blow up my phone telling me to come get my script, it’s ready. Then I get to the pharmacy, and nothing is ready and I have to stand around awkwardly while I wait for them to fill it.

The final straw was I go in person to request a refill 5 days before I am out of meds. “Oh we haven’t gotten the shipment yet? Come back tomorrow.” So I go back the next day, and the next until I am finally out of meds and they still don’t have it in. Like, bitch, I have been filling this RX here for 2 years, do you mother fuckers not understand how to inventory?

After my last refill was up I had my Dr. start sending my scripts to Hannaford. It’s further away, but when they call me for my RX it’s ready for me when I go to pick it up.

To personify a bit, if I came across Walgreen’s dying in the street, I would step the fuck over their body and keep walking.

Oh, is Walgreen’s your pharmacy too?

I hope I live long enough to witness him getting spent like the token he is.

I’m one of those people that showers daily, cause my hair looks greasy if I don’t. People have different bodies, some need to shower more, some less.

As long as people aren’t keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.

"Watermelon. Earthmelon. Firemelon. Airmelon. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avamelon kept balance between the melon tribes. But that all changed when the Firemelons attacked.

I’m scared enough that I have a to-go bag with some cash, outdoor survival gear, and I am learning how to craft snares and fishing traps. I have guides to edible plants in my area and have been learning how to smoke meat. If the American gestapo comes looking for me, I plan to attempt to hide in the wilderness. If I die, I’d rather let the wilderness take me than be murdered by republicans.

I was born in '79. Have the right to an abortion from day 1. Witnessed the AIDS epidemic and gay people I know die as a young child and see the media demonize them. Came out as an 11 year old in 6th grade. Constant bullying. In highschool, Best friend, also gay, is beaten so severely for being gay he is put in the hospital. Things start to seem better by the time I reach college. I start to feel like I am safe to be openly gay. During postdoctoral fellowship, gay marriage in my state becomes legal. Become more aware of trans and non-binary folk. Watch other gay people hate on the trans, and cannot fathom how a class of people so vilified could perpetuate the same shit onto trans people. Watch Trump get elected, watch him pack the courts. Watch the Trump courts take away abortion. Watch Trump round up brown people and lock them up in secret camps without due process or verifying their citizenship. Watch an LGBT woman get murdered by ICE in broad daylight in Minnesota with 0 repercussions. Realize that once they are done with brown people, they are coming for my group next.

I’m fucking terrified. I have nightmares and panic attacks. I don’t have the resources to leave the USA either.

Biden may have been “sleepy Joe,” but Trump is the Nod Father.

What is your second country?

I lived in Dallas for 3 years while I was doing a postdoctoral fellowship. Kids in Dallas were going to class in trailers. I was also moonlighting doing curriculum design for TX state testing. I would have to grade sample questions answered by students, and like 90% of the responses I got from high schoolers indicated they were barely literate. (FWIW my background is in neuroscience/cognition, not education, and I was developing science test questions for standardized tests.) I opted not to have my family move down to Dallas during the fellowship after seeing how bad education was there.

Some countries in Europe are already doing this.

The French government has had enough of Windows on its computers and is switching over to Linux. This isn’t some airy, political statement about ‘one day’ doing so — this is a call to arms, a declaration of ‘digital sovereignty’, that’s happening now. As David Amiel, who is Minister of Public Action and Accounts, puts it (translated): "We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, and our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control.
