Same boat. I’m not vegan, and I’ll probably never be. I could genuinely see myself going lacto ovo, but honestly, that wouldn’t be so hard for me if I only cook for myself. But, like, it is clearly the correct moral decision, and anyone arguing that is either misinformed or lying to themselves

Yeah, that’s the level when you keep telling people “I’m really thinking about going vegan. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it”

Can I harvest teeth from this fish to replace the one I’m missing?

Gonna ruin me, but seconding. Brick in the window video?

Raylin is the one that needs the reassurance, Vanessa (right) knows exactly how beautiful she is. Raylin ain’t never had a man bring her fish every day for three years. Everybody stops to take pics with Vanessa.

Dont forget that time the hurricane hit Tennessee and it fucking flooded the mountains

Everything is totally normal

You’re right. I forgot about that. It was glorious.

When was the off? Motherfucker has been daily news, even during biden’s term. Fucking news can’t stand a day with out him. He was right about at least one thing: he’s good for ratings.

I’m so fucking tired

Reminds me of that scene from the emperor’s new groove

“Tell us where they are and I’ll burn your house down!”

“Don’t you mean or?”

Oh shit. I didn’t know that was illegal. I worked security in several hotels in the Knoxville and tricities TN areas, and probably 3 out of 10 of them did this. Mostly upscale hotels.

White. Male. Able bodied. Neurotypical. Christian (Catholics need not apply). Straight. Republican.

If you or someone you know doesn’t fit each one of those, then they are at risk of persecution in the US.

That’s me this time around!

Speak to the author about allowing folks and their parents to immigrate, please

For what it’s worth, you’re objectively correct, regardless of what anyone else says. The majority of the country didn’t vote for him, and yes, inb4 “not voting is voting!” The people who didn’t vote are making a civic choice, and that choice lead to a trump presidency. But it doesn’t mean those people wanted him, or like him. It means they were politically un/underinformed, or didn’t want to have to make a choice between fascism and slower fascism (I hated making that choice, voted for Kamala). we are a nation of 340 million people. 75 million voted for trump. That’s 22%.

There’s your number. 22% of the US wanted this guy. Anything else is speculation. The only thing we know is that 22% voted for him.

Give Americans a politician worth voting for, someone with a backbone who believes in the universal right to healthcare, childcare and all the other things industrialized countries have by this point, and who doesn’t believe a little genocide is okay, as a treat, and you’ll see a different fucking result.

In other words, to my dear European friends blaming every American for the act of 22% of us, if we had a politician to vote for who would even try to give us 1\10th of what you already have maybe more people would have gotten off their ass and voted. But our elections have a different fucking vibe. We’re not fighting to keep what we’ve got here, we’re fighting to get some level of human decency so that we won’t have to watch our parents work into their late 80s with 3 days of sick time per year, and then die sleeping on the sofa in our living rooms because God knows their can’t afford to keep their house in this economy.

Yeah, you nailed it. Obvious in hindsight, but until this I had just assumed it was accurate, like, even if everyone wasn’t counted, I guess had I been pressed, I would have assumed there was some formula or something to account for the uncounted or some shit. Kinda wild

Also, village isn’t a word we really use in the US, but now that you say it, I guess that’s kind or exactly what it is. A little village of insane, isolated, meth makin’ hillbillies up in the woods that aren’t accessible by road.

I’m okay with this. I may be changing my username…

I personally know of ~400 people who are absolutely not counted on any census and I’d be willing to bet not included in any population stats. Whole town up in the mountains. I’d imagine if that can happen in the us, it’s not unlikely to happen elsewhere, so sure… But when they do the whole earth population calculations, I always assumed they just checked in a few extra people to account for, like, uncounted towns and shit

I’ve got a good friend who played D&D with us a couple times and found out real quick that not all friend groups are okay with overlapping. It was awful

I feel ya. Same way

Years and years ago, I was really active on a forum, and one of the members did this world trip, couch surfing with different members of the forum and seeing the world. She and I weren’t good friends. In fact, she irritated me a bit, nothing in particular, just… Didn’t vibe. At all. But a leg of her trip was taking through my state, and she needed a place to crash, so I said fuck it, sure.

She stayed with her best friend from the forum in Boston, and it was a complete bust. They didn’t get along, Boston friend found her irritating, grating, and overwhelmingly boring.

Then she got to my place, and I made a new best friend. We got along so well she stayed an extra 2 days, and we had a fucking blast.

Irl/online can be a major difference, one from the other
