Had to check myself cause my brain wanted to say “maybe some of them got in there for the right reasons”, which, idk maybe but the incarceration system is garbage and ACAB in the end.

Ok I know you have the s but I’m legitimately so confused. Last month people were actually talking about how scientists said that it’s likely aliens have been living among us for a long time. And didn’t the white house make some big alien announcement a while back??
Am I losing it or is this whole thread just a big joke on how those announcements went nowhere
It’s a small win but after months of agonizing over my contract end date and a million rejected job applications, I got extended for another few months. Honestly just a huge weight off my shoulders as I desperately needed a break from the job search and was only a couple weeks away from the end date. Plus, it’s looking likely they’ll be able to make my position permanent by the end of this extension 🤞🏽
I live in a suburban more than totally rural area but we have lots of trails and bushy areas around. Usually they just set up tents on the side of those trails. Walked past a guy who had an entire cot set up and was just napping on the side of a trail midday the other day. The benches in our area are also less anti-homeless than the ones downtown so I don’t doubt people sleep there at night.
I saw a video of one guy (who isn’t homeless but does urban camping on YouTube) set up camp in the middle of a roundabout with lots of bushes and I think that’s honestly probably one of the best spots where people wouldn’t find you/call cops on you.
I had a really bad coffee stain on my front teeth. Had tried the crest ones for a while but they weren’t helping. My hygienist did some treatment and told me it’ll probably come back because of the texture of my teeth, but told me to use the crest ones a few days ahead of a special event if I wanted a touchup. Stain came back.
Went to the dentist for an unrelated issue and my dentist noticed the stain, literally filed down my tooth in like 2 seconds and for free, and the stain has never come back again, lol.
When not in the mood for talking, singing bowls for sure.
When my brain can’t stop and I need a distraction, either the sleep with me podcast or welcome to nightvale. Sometimes Sleep Whispers but that one can be over stimulating for my lil ASMR brain.
When we started dating my partner told me I look like Jeff Goldblum (I am a female). He then bought us a Jeff Goldblum curtain for the bathroom and a portrait we put on the wall, as well as several records, keychains and cushions with Jeff (including that Jurassic park one). It’s weird as fuck but Jeff’s a handsome guy and a cool fucking person so I’m not too worried about it.
Gotta love those microaggressions
I used to do this with a straw while head was upside down. Worked really well when I was younger but haven’t tried it recently.
I do the thing where you drink water while rubbing your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Success rate is pretty low tbh.
I don’t like or watch hockey but I won tickets to a Canucks game once. It was pretty cool. My favourite part was the timbits team or whatever and it was just a bunch of like 4 and 5 year olds falling all over the ice at half time.
Someone can feel free to correct me but I’ve read that it’s also partly genetic.
Tbf I wouldn’t mind going through years of medical and psychological treatments if it meant I was allowed to punch whoever I wanted to in the face. Not for sports or for transgender reasons, just for fun. Turn me into a weapon please.
I had two coworkers who were sisters and I got along with decently. Befriended the younger one and one day she invited me to a house party at the place she shared with her brother. Night ended with her yelling through the door “STOP FUCKING MY FRIENDS!” which I still think is hilarious.
Anyway we partied a lot and then settled down later and we’ve been together for 8 years now so it didn’t turn out too badly.
My first message to her contained a detailed, descriptive, as unceremonious as it was unambiguous list of preferences but it seems to be working out so far.
Sounds like the foundation for great communication to me.
Definitely thought that was going another way. Good for you, I’m sure they’re proud of you too :)
It’s Facebook and YouTube probably. My dad is also in Canada and obsessed with American news but he watches CNN on a loop so at least it’s not the MAGA people he’s supporting.
Still though, worry about your own country. We got our own issues we should be focusing on here.
I use one that probably won’t be well liked around here but it’s called EZ Booster. It’s got ads which is annoying but it has an equalizer and can hella boost sound volume, which I was having issues with when playing audios from my browser. I haven’t played with the equalizer much but the volume booster on its own has made a huge difference for me.
I’m sure there’s deeper takes on this but from my understanding, it’s a mix of things: 1) he convinced them he’s not like other politicians (which is true, he was not a politician at all) and 2) he convinced them he’s the “pull yourself up by the jockstrap” American dream and everyone can be like him - that’s just the typical American lie they’ve been using for decades if not longer. Then sprinkle a little bit of christofacist fear mongering in there and you got some undereducated folks excited to see someone who’ll “fight” for their American dream.
Woke commie queer is my middle name
A book that stuck with me for a long time was The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It was a fairly quick read too, I’m a slow reader so definitely longer than a day but I think I read it over a short vacation.
