woah threads stay open forever

Forever is a long time

Vanilla. I ate all my snickerdoodle ice cream NYE. It was tasty!

I don’t know, but hypocrisy on moral issues from the far right is hardly a new phenomenon. How many anti gay congressmen have been caught with male sex workers in the last 50 years? Beyond that, this is a guy who is cheating on his wife; Im not an advocate of monogamy or marriage but there doesn’t seem to be anything ethical about this guy’s non-monogamy. In short, he’s a hypocritical, lying POS who thinks with his crotch.

I just hope your friend is getting a nice bag from him. Make him pay dearly for it.

Now I’m reading this in 2025.

Happy nude queer!

I noticed but I didn’t have anything funny to say in response that wasn’t also horribly dark. So I stuck with somewhat serious and at least slightly positive.

Make it to 2026

Not yet, but soon….

Have a good microbe monday! Remember there are microbes in kisses, the dear little things.

Ok you made me giggle, thank you!

Congratulations! Yay grants!

I’ve got kids, so the 31? That’s probably the last day I’ll do work for pay too, but I’ll definitely be working that day.

I don’t even turn it on every day, so I clearly can’t shut it down every night lol. And I usually suspend to disk, with the occasional reboot for general system health.

On the other hand, my phone pretty much never gets shut down unless I’m doing a reboot.

I’m usually just trying to find someplace quiet away from my family

Maybe there's a reasonable explanation, but maybe the road to hell is lined with "benefit of the doubt".

Exactly. And the thing is, some fraction of the uncounted ballots probably are for completely unrelated reasons, and they rely on this for plausible deniability. But taken as a whole, I believe most of these cases are cases of deliberate lack of care, i.e., voter suppression.

The real question now is: so what? What are we going to do about it?

Edit: just to be clear, I don’t have an answer - this is just what I’ve been asking myself the last month

This is where lucid dreaming would be nice. I mean, who wouldn’t want a situation where you could burn down your place of employment without consequences?

I always thought it was a torus, like a doughnut. If you hold it one way it’s hollow (the doughnut hole), stand it up like a wheel and it’s round, lay it down on your plate and it’s flat. It’s the only shape that fits all three delusions.

But, why wasn't my vote counted?

I’m absolutely convinced it’s because someone knew there would be no consequences for burying it. Voter suppression is far more likely to get hand wringing than a serious response, so active grassroots voter suppression has become popular.

It’s turns out the old saying “if voting could bring change it would be illegal” was wrong. Instead, it’s “if voting could bring change we will rig the results.”

Well that’s a nice surprise; I’m plural as well. In fact part of why I’m here is to practice fronting in a space the others don’t consider “theirs” - otherwise they try to butt in and take over the conversation.

Plurals represent!

Along with the obsession over Texas Hold’em, quite possibly the worst version of poker that actually uses cards.

But I’m not bitter or anything.

It’s probably a regional thing, but storm windows (sometimes called a storm sash) are basically lightweight secondary windows installed on the outside of single pane windows. This provides protection for your primary window from hail and storm debris, as well as just generally providing better insulation by turning the whole combination assembly into a sort of a primitive 2 pane window.

Storm windows are normally left open/swapped out for screens during the warm and moderate seasons, and closed for winter (and sometimes the stormy part of spring). During the worst of winter they can make a huge difference in how cold and drafty a room feels, as well as save on overall heating bills.

I’m not sure they’re wrong? Depends on your metrics I guess
