Idk, after Tuesday, I started to get a little hopeful for the 2026 midterms. If we can keep up the same energy, we can massively slow down this fucking crazy train long enough to course correct or at the very least kick the can down the road (and hopefully use that time to install better minority protections/progressive policies)
But if we fuck up the 2026 mid terms? Oh yeah. Democracy in America is fucking DONE.
Truth. 3 years ago my “New Years Resolution” was to floss every day.
I knew I was going to have to make it obscenely easy to do in order for me to stick with it.
I do a suuuuuper quick run through every morning with a disposable pick BEFORE I brush, and my annual dental visits since have been night and day. I really don’t even have to try very hard and my gums don’t bleed anymore either!
Its about taking better care of your mouth - not perfect care.
Nah. I place 98% of the blame on Republicunts for the state of the country currently.
I place the other 2% on non-voters. You helped us get here.
I, as a pro-birth control/pro-choice lady, believe lady-oriented birth control has nothing to do with that (perhaps naiively).
Pregnancy, even the healthiest, safest ones, are hard on our bodies. That means that anything that prevents them is theoretically better than if we’re constantly/repeatedly pregnant. Even if its harmful for mental health or long term effects on organs. Pregnancy fucks us up outright both mentally and physically. Like day one.
Obviously I’m simplyifying a bit, but you understand the gist of my logic.
Men dont have HAVE to deal with pregnancy, period, so anything that introduces harm, even minutely, is automatically a worse quality-of-life option for them.
Am I pro-male birth control? Hell yeah I am. I just recognize that they’re giving up more than we would be to accept the same risks, given that they dont have to experience pregnancy to begin with, and I dont trust/expect them to do that.
Therefore, it makes logical sense to me that we’re the ones targeted.
Its crazy how different tastes can be. I definitely get more of a smoke flavor for Diablo and a tang from Fire.
Fire sauce goes better on a standard crunchy taco, but Diablo is king mixing with the melty cheese and sour cream of a Crunchwrap!
Every time I eat a Crunchwrap Supreme, I’m going to think of my long distance Bestie, LemmyThinkAboutThat!
Ugh, I wish they’d sell the Diablo sauce in bigger bottles like they do their Hot Sauce!
Dawwww my first video game love was Zell Dincht! I thought his face tat was SO fucking hot.
My husband and I got married on Halloween and we were Rinoa and Squall for the reception.
I fuckin’ love me some FF8.
Crunchwrap Supremes are GOAT. Dripping in Diablo Sauce! Perfection!
I’ve never been to SF, but we just moved to NorCal earlier this year and I’m SO stoked to visit. I absolutely believe that there’s a homeless issue there because I’ve been to major metropolitan areas before: Houston, Baltimore, Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, etc etc etc but I simply do NOT buy into the hype of there just being endless amounts of human shit and discarded needles in the streets.
In my head, I have it built up as this glamorous place with good food and pretty bay views with the huge hills and colorful houses and streetcars.
Honestly I think I want to spend my birthday there in March, and I’m pretty excited. Any and all bar/museum/restaurant/atlas obscura oddity recc’s welcome from locals/people who have been are welcome!
Oof, for me in my world, there have been so many unfortunately.
John Kuckian, Jaclyn Hill, Jeffree Star, and more recently Raw Beauty Kristi though she’s been in decline for a while.
Makeup Youtubers are something fucking else.
Oh fuck, the Republicunts will call it fake news and be like “NO I HEARD ONE NEWS STORY ABOUT AN IMMIGRANT MURDERING SOMEONE ONE TIME SO THEY’RE ALL MURDERERS AND THE STUDY IS FLAWED.”
In short, facts are not going to save us.
Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.
There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn’t have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.
Still grateful it exists!
Holy shit, I’m not religious at all, but 5 year old u/potoooooooo is the CUTEST fucking thing.
Ugh, children really are innocent/wholesome, and its the adults around them that inject poisonous ass ideas into their minds.
This is me as well. Though occasionally I like 2 hard boiled eggs with hot sauce.
But for every day? Black coffee and that sweet, sweet hydrating H2O.
Oh my God, you just brought up Leberkase and I’m SO upset that Americans dont have this delight everywhere.
I learned it as Fleischkase (sp?) when I was fortunate enough to spend a few months in Germany for work, but I was told that theyre pretty much the same.
Ugh, mustard and a toasted bun is how I ate it. So fucking good. And I’ve been crying about missing it ever since.
Conversely, I, as an American who had the opportunity to spend a few months in Germany, was surprised at how close all the countries were.
Great culture in all the places I went (Brussels and Prague were my two standout favorites!) Traveling was hella cheap. The food was fire everywhere I went. The architecture was INCREDIBLE. And the knowledge that you could go to the hospital for less than $100 was nuts. Don’t even get me started on how legitimately cool it is to sit in a 1000 year old pub.
I didn’t want to come back. I nearly cried when I got the return flight info.
It still shocks me to tell people “Yeah, I lived in Germany for a bit and some weekends we would fuck off to France.”
We recently moved to a very bike friendly city in California, and it’s a night and day difference to where we had moved from in Texas. There are bike lanes, and bike racks EVERYWHERE.
There is also a heavily used e-bike/e-scooter service available as well. Its been a genuine game changer.
Separate lanes and bike racks all over the place means that the e-scooters aren’t ditched all over the sidewalk AND the separate bike lanes do not disrupt traffic so the drivers don’t hate them either. We’ve only used our vehicle for commuting to work since moving here. For everything else, we walk, bike, or scooter. Bought a little collapsible wagon for grocery shopping too!
Ah yeah, I definitely narrowed your comment to just apply to the voting base, even though the crazy ass headline in question is being perpetuated by the grifters.
Thats mah B!
I do agree though, those who are feeding the voters are insane/unreasonable and evil. And I think they know that their base is dumb enough to accept their grifting “words of wisdom.”
I think they’re just fucking stupid.
Not uneducated people with critical thinking skills.
Just actually, really, super fucking dumb. There is no nuance to them. Everything is black and white and only happens one way. Life is straight forward, and its hell the whole time. That’s it. That’s the end.
The Donner Party.
It’s inexplicably like my “Roman Empire” for dudes. I think about that tragedy near weekly.
