i fucking hate being trapped in jesusland

yea, i’m all for shitting on the us, but come on. i’ll bet all those countries also spend more on everything “per capita”

i’m reducing my daily news consumption with the goal of zero. i know that it’s going to be bad, and if it directly impacts me, then a) i’ll find out soon enough; and b) the probability i can do a damn thing about it is basically 0 anyway

ever eaten anything with red in it? (like the icing decorations on the pictured cake)

lol when i was an asshole kid i did that with guitar volume knobs

nah fuck that. in my family gatherings, i announce the food is ready so come and get it, and they all sit around flapping their face holes for another 20 minutes. i’m fucking eating. not my fault if your food is cold

wait, is this real life? are we financing shitty pizza now?

i remember when my store manager came to work with her brand new razr phone, thinking all us peons would be like “ooooh aaaah i wish i was you even more now!!!”

wow pretty problematic

here’s pete seger singing guthrie’s this land is your land, which was written as a smackdown response to the absurdly nationalistic god bless america

when is this stupid “we need to sit down and ‘talk to nazis’ in order to change their minds” attitude going to finally fucking die?

we’ve been way too fucking tolerant of that shit for way too many years, and thanks to that, we’re living in a fascist country now. excuse me, but fuck that shit.

fuck trump, fuck everyone who voted for him, fuck everyone who voted third party, and fuck everyone who didn’t vote. the time for trying to “understand” and “engage” cultists who literally throw away any viewpoint they don’t like as “fake news” is long fucking past.

this stupid bullshit is why we got trump the first time AND now.

double click +drag selects entire words–no more trying to precisely aim the mouse to leave out a period

yea, i’ve tried telling her that. absolute refusal to shut down the PC without closing the browser first. i don’t know why some people can’t move beyond that decades-old advice

watching my boss shut down the front desk computer at EOD:

“you know, instead of clicking the X on 5 windows, you can hit ctrl+shift+Q once and save all that wasted time clicking. AND it saves me time tomorrow by opening all the windows at once, instead of only the last one you closed”

“oh, thanks! you know all the time-savers”

next day:

back to clicking every X

it’s an address i lived at years ago. fun fact, there’s a public high school right near the middle

not making any claims about your friend’s situation, but i’ve seen this happen more than once also–pestering, caving, engagement-- and they ended very badly.

getting engaged or even married does not necessarily mean “happy together”

the 3 mile radius search returned a “too many hits to display” error, so i had to change it to 1 mile

it’s st. petersburg, and it’s not unique to that area. try your own neighborhood. it’s a govt. website https://www.nsopw.gov/
