Wait, we agree on something? What’s the temperature in hell right now?

That sounds like quitter talk to me

Nutritious and delicious, tastes just like red

They were continuing the conversational thread about the people who didn’t do shit

That’s the only interpretation I’m getting from it

Looks like pure hated to me, but I’m not great at reading expressions and may just be projecting my own feelings…

Oh good, it’s not just me who sees that… That’s totally the self satisfied smile of someone who knows she gave better than she got

Fair point, I forgot about Detroit style

Not that this should be what you need to do, but if you can make virtual cards (Capital One does this, I know there are others too), you could make one for the trial and set it to lock after a day or two so when they go to charge it in a week to auto renew it will only work if you’ve gone back and reenabled that card

Then there’s XXL and 2XL, which aren’t the same size for some bizarre reason

I’ve had a few days to calm down and process things and I’ve come to the realization that I was wrong to have calmed down

Depending on how old they are and where they grew up, my assumption would be the Pizza Hut Big Foot, a massive rectangular pizza that was roughly 1 foot by 2 feet, cut into squares

They were great, no clue why they stopped making them

Different people remember different things? It’s really not that complicated. What one brain decides is worth holding onto might not be worth it to another.

Hell, even what we do remember is half hallucinated to fill in the gaps (probably not the right word for it, but you get the idea)

At least that wouldn’t be some new dystopian nightmare. Just the same old run of the mill dystopian nightmare we’ve already been living in.

Better watch out, Musk might sue

(/s, just in case it wasn’t obvious enough)

Right now? Protest against the Senate rubber-stamping his appointments, not holding him accountable, and letting him call the shots in Congress.

And before you say “but they’ve not done any of that yet”, that’s the point. Why would you wait for them to hand the entire country over to him before protesting it when that’s the agenda he has and they’ve been signaling they’re onboard with it?

Trump is already dictating terms for what the Senate majority leader must do. As if he should have any say in that decision. One of the terms is that they must allow recess appointments so he can fill his cabinet with no input or vetting by Congress. This alone is an unprecedented power grab. Tell them not to let him have his way.

He wants to fire career postings and appoint loyalists, converting tens of thousands of nonpartisan positions with ones beholden to him. Tell them they need to pass legislation ensuring those positions are protected from that form of meddling.

Shit, generally protest against the senators who failed to do their job 4 years ago allowing him to be elected in the first place. Or protest against confirming a president elect who’s ineligible to hold the office due to his part in Jan 6 per the 14th amendment.

Will it change anything? Probably not. At least not directly or immediately. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be doing it anyway.

“Why would I pay $25 for these pair of pants at full price when I could pay $24.99 for those [identical] pants that are half off?! Clearly, that’s the better deal!”

Hell, could probably even make it $29.99 for the identical pants and people will still go with that because they think they’re paying five more bucks and getting a $60 pair of pants

Not going to happen

I so badly want this to happen, but it’s not going to happen

BlueSky is a viable alternative, if they find Mastodon too crunchy/not populous enough

For people who apparently joke so much they sure as shit ain’t funny
