Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you're saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.
I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
And all of this has been public knowledge for a long, long time, long enough that anyone paying tithes to the Catholic Church is scum.
Perhaps I live in a bubble of pessimism, but — isn't the looming collapse of civilization well-known, and essentially a certainty?
This is a worry and problem I've never had and don't really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you're judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.
I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.
It is folly to cover Scalise — or most republicans — in this way, as if what they're doing is normal.
Jamie Dimon is a wealthy old fart who never worked a day in his plush lazy life. What he says interests me less than analyzing my neighbor's dog's poop as its eaten by bugs.
Then it has to be better.
Seconded. I've thought the Pope's knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I've known for thirty years, at least.
Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I'd hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.
I already spend too much time online, so ... I'm with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.
Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you'd need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it's an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.
Where do I sign up?
Everywhere I go I'm usually the oldest person in the room, and I've been hearing that line since long before I'd ever heard of Donald Trump.
Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.
And Bernie's right. I ain't arguing.
Sure is a bucket of swill we're always forced to drink from, though.
You're now banned.
