Tell your kitty I love him.

No, no, no.

Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.

I’m sure you’re attractive. You have a winning online presence.

Vagueposting is lame. Either say something or don’t. Don’t call attention ot what you’re not saying.

This is the best kind of people coming to an understanding.

Thank you very much.

I’m so glad you pointed that out. I’ll be using clown fractions moving forward.

In this equation, you are playing victim by painting yourself as “opposition to genocide.” When called on this, you pivoted to pretend the poster was insulting victims of genocide

I wanted to tell you that kind of cheap pivoting technique doesn’t work here. I’m entirely against genocide and stand with Palestine, but this grandstanding is intellectually dishonest and makes you look like an entire clown.

I won’t be replying further on this.

I know a lot of people still have terrible fanfiction they wrote as teens on the internet somewhere, so the warning is very appropriate.

Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I’m almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-

Don’t condescend to young people about being children. You’re just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.

I know nothing about professional photography but I love this picture.

Sounds like the answer is for him to pull the trigger himself?

This is going to sound crazy, but I use Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom. It’s like 1 or 2 bucks a bottle and thank goodness because I have to use half a bottle when I wash my hair. What I used to spend…

I found it through the Curly Girl approved products list. Here’s a copy-paste of the entire ingredients (in case someone more knowledgeable comes along to tell me it has stuff in it I didn’t know was bad for me).

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Fragrance (Parfum), Lactic Acid, Potassium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, PEG-150 Distearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Juice, Benzyl Alcohol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Red 33 (CI 17200), Yellow 5 (CI 19140).

The Curly Girl site I use says that the methyl ingredients can cause itchiness in a sensitive scalp so keep that in mind if you try it.

Probably! I have a conditioner that’s all-that-stuff free and it no longer grosses me out to touch.

And thank goodness because I have big, curly, loooong hair

I have zero trust for “there will be consequences later.” I’ve been seeing that over and over and over for years. If the judge says this is obviously contempt and chooses not to address that now, I am no longer capable of optimism.

I need that gif of Jon Oliver with the “We got him!” banner.

There was almost certainly either a submarine or a castle run by a prince that burrowed through sand.

I gotta be honest. I’m relatively plugged in and I keep straight up forgetting RFK Jr. is even a thing.

The same way I keep forgetting the Tiger King is running for president.

Perfectly said. You speak my experience, here in the US.

I feel like we’ve been taken hostage, forced to watch atrocities, and made powerless to stop them. I remember being outright mocked by my adults when I tried to do the least thing to change it all. I thought by the time I was an adult, I could do something… but those same adults are still alive. They’re still mocking me.

A snapshot; when I was in high school, I watched No Child Left Behind pass. I wasn’t old enough to vote. I knew how fucked every single student would be who came after me. I talked about it with my classmates! Not one had anything positive to say about it! I called my representatives. No one listened. They told me to grow up and change it myself, then stood in my way when I tried.

I hate knowing that the dread over it all and the soul-crushing inability to change anything is still going to be preferable to trying to survive what’s coming. It only makes me feel more guilty.

I flipped up through the chain and only now am I seeing all the edits they made. I knew something was screwy when they replied to my reply to myself- dude was camping this thread. Definitely not a good faith.

I do not have the energy to argue with such a waste of time. I don’t understand people who find enjoyment in “arguing” like that person does.
