Read this article and tell me you think these cops are all 100% clean

This movie made me want to be an epidemiologist it was so good

Nachos and salads are the same thing, a messier version of a sandwich or taco. Or are sandwiches and tacos just really convenient forms of salads or nachos? I’m not sure.

Back when I was an active alcoholic, I’d go through one of those a day. That was my version of moderation 🙃

Now that’s a family divided. I may be the only progressive in my drumpf-loving family, but we’re at least not literally at war with each other (yet).

Stay Strong, Friend. You’re in the right, even if they never come around.

Today I just straight up asked my boss if we could skip our monthly 1 on 1 because I was already just so done. Thankfully he’s a total mensch, gave me a thumbs up, reminded me of a report I have due Friday, and we went about our day. Sometimes, sometimes things work out.

lol you’re a fucking loser. eat shit troll.

yeah sure, I love wasting time arguing with bad faith actors! You’re clearly in the special group of the best thinkers, it’s so fun to spend time talking with people like you!

Yeah this is totally warranted given the recent news. I mean, one side trying to expand medicare, the other gutting it. One side trying to close Guantanamo bay, the other opening concentration camps on it. One side trying to get money out of politics, the other side destroying democracy for want of more money.

Totally helpful, totally warranted, OP. Well done. Way to go. You’re so cool and centrist.

“Never waste motivation” is a favorite saying of mine. You can always think up some excuse for not doing the thing you should be doing, so if ever you randomly feel like putting effort into that thing, freaking do it. Don’t think, just DO

Considering the state of things, I think it’s everyones duty to cheat on their taxes. They just laid off like half of the IRS, one could imagine many cracks within which to slip through

Take a multi-day trip beforehand. You should at least experience an abbreviated version of living together before you actually do.

Sigor Ros. Saw them live and, despite their melancholy music, put on a helluva show. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them live!

That and The Flaming Lips. Their live shows are always spectacular, seen them twice

Box is looking real comfortable, AND I don’t have to get back up once I find a good position??

I know they will be there for me when I need it

Here’s the thing, relationships take work. Not just marriages or romantic ones, they all take work. Effort needs to be made by both parties, or else the relationship will die. I had a friend that affectionately called it “friend work,” where they would spend a bit of time each day putting in the effort needed to maintain a healthy friendship, because if she didn’t, then the relationship would suffer for it.

Not wanting to engage in the world right now is very common, and downright reasonable considering the general state of things. If a relationship you have with someone is mentally stressing you, or sapping your energy, consider whether or not that relationship is valuable to you, and act accordingly. If the relationship is important to you, and you want it to continue or grow, then you have to put effort into it. If the relationship is one-sided, and feels draining, and you want it to end, then put forth zero effort into it, and it will naturally go away.

I cannot hear this song without thinking that the background singers are repeatedly saying “cut your balls off” during the refrain

protesting is where you meet these communities and working groups.

Same. I was there for the Women’s march, there for BLM, after George Floyd, and most recently for the 50501 (which was surprisingly well attended despite it’s quick set-up). Let me know if there’s another one, and I’ll be there too. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

the graphics seem worse somehow

This really is the only right answer.
