Maybe I’m more optimistic than I should be, but I kind of think its less of a “this affected me and now its a problem” and more of a “this affected me, it sucked, and now I dont want it to happen to anyone else”.

Like, of course she should have woken up sooner, but she could have suffered, been quiet about it, and just let it happen to other people as well. Maybe Im not as cynical as I thought I was.

Honestly, I know you’re making a joke but I habe 17 years in Enlisted and if a troop came to me with this story and said “My family is scared” Id be like “Yeah that makes sense go the fuck home”.

No disagreement there. Ugh, I really wish us fans were more willing to send messages to the celebrities we like in general.

Unfollowing/deleting/refusing to buy new content is really the only power we have on our level.

I wasn’t “Barb” status but I liked her music enough to go to her concert.

All my downloads are deleted now though after this headline. I was already side eyeing her after she liked a tweet he made or whatever earlier this year.

No more watching her music vids or buying any future albums either. Had to do the same thing with Nova Rockafeller a couple years ago. God damnit.

She pulled that number out of her ass. Or it might have been what her abortion cost in the 80s, Idk.

Her “point” (if you can call it that) was that poor people should be proactively planning by using cheaper birth control methods over asking for a more expensive procedure that she doesn’t think should be available to begin with.

She completely ignores all the other factors that could come into play between someone strapped for cash choosing condoms/diaphragms/etc versus foregoing them. I also asked if home schooled girls should be made to bear the burden of pregnancy if their parents didnt teach her about safe sex, and of course the answer was “the internet exists.”

I’ve genuinely never met more frustrating people than alt-right Christians.

Bruh, apparently those are statisical anomalies that “don’t count” for some reason. As though the fact that it might be fewer women affected makes their suffering less somehow.

I don’t get it either. I’m a childfree lady by choice myself, and I don’t understand why she’s trying to set up a worse future for my niece (and nephews! I’m sure they wpuldn’t want to pay child support at a young age either!) Her logic is fucking bizarre.

Omg this reminds me of a box turtle my aunt & uncle had named “Killer”. He was allowed to run around the house wherever he wanted, and could always be found in places like underneath the entertainment center or couch. I fucking LOVED finding him and rubbing his shell when I was a kid.

He was still around when I went home like ~5 years ago.

Ah, you dated my mother in the 80s, how does it feel to be old af?

Haha, I kid. But legit, when I brought up her hypocrisy, her answer was: “Yes but people have more options now, so they shouldn’t be getting pregnant as easily.”

And then when I pointed out that only people with access have more options, not poor people, her answer was: "Okay, well, a $15 box of condoms is STILL cheaper than a $300 abortion, so you’re still wrong."i

The fucking sheer audacity.

I would agree with you, except I lived in Texas for a decade, and I saw women vote against themselves multiple times.

I saw Greg Abbott put forward one of the legislative pieces that was the basis for RvW being repealed (the 6 week “heartbeat” bill).

Then I saw the 5th circuit support it.

Then I saw Greg Abbott/Dan Patrick/Ken Paxton/John Cornyn/Ted Cruz get voted in again afterwards. And none of those elections can be blamed on gerrymandering, because they were all popular vote elections.

So yeah, I just think conservative women are true believers who are willing to show up to the polls. Even if it means giving up their own rights.

Because I do not believe that all of those conservative women are rich. They’re fucking brainwashed. And they’ll continue to be brainwashed because they’re too proud to admiy anything else. Even if they’re poor af.

Idk, I try real hard to remind others that Tanner, the Night Shift manager at the Circle K, is NOT the reason women are oppressed, and making him feel like he’s the reason does nothing to support our equality cause.

We genuinely do have to support men having space to air their issues with society/the world, and let them know that they’re heard/understood.

The patriarchy hurts everyone, including the dude who is told to swallow his feelings/frustrations and he is only allowed to be interested in sex/woodworking/hunting to be a “real man” and “accepted” by his bros.

So like, maybe we could not laugh at men’s struggles and still support ladies?

Edit: Changed “head” to “heard”

I remember being told “Atoms are always moving”, so I would cut reeeeaaaalllllyyyy fucking slow for a bit thinking that the atoms would “move out of the way.”

I also just read my husband this meme and he was like “Oh yeah. I remember thinking I was risking my area for arts and crafts.”

Goddamn, we’re all fucking corruptable for a price, aren’t we?

Speaking as someone who does use the BNPL from time to time for discretionary spending: If you pay it in 4, then its 0% interest and a much smaller piece of your pay check.

Spending $25 over 4 pay checks is a lot easier to do than $100 all at once. But this only works if you A - Only have 1 BNPL plan going at a time, & B - Actually pay off your BNPL in 4.

Also a tuna salad sandwich, but mine was a 6 inch from Subway on meat.

Everything on it except for lettuce and olives, extra jalapenos, salt, pepper, & oregano, and then smooshed some Nacho Cheese doritos into it.

10/10, would have again.

Am I your wife? Is this my husband’s Lemmy account? He has all the same complaints!

Yeah, egg nog is a delicious creamy holiday spiced treat that warms you up internally if its spiked.

Cum tastes like slimy bleachy salt.

This post is false!

P

Oh hey, we’re part of the same universe! Our accessories are interchangable!

I fucking suck at math and totally just re-proved it to myself with this problem lmao.

It didn’t make sense to me to multiply the 3 & the 5 with zero consideration for the “2”. I have ALWAYS struggled with the steps to solve these types of equations.

So the answer I got was 21. Some of us are just bad with numbers, I s’pose.

Bruh, yes, I know exactly what you mean. I’m actually getting ready to replay D:BH again because the last time I played was about 1.5+ years ago, and I think I’ve finally forgotten all my decisions. My husband said I got one of the best endings he’s ever seen someone get, and I really didn’t want to be tempted to answer everything the same. There’s SO MANY ways that game can go/end, and I want to explore them all!

I made the mistake of playing Until Dawn first, then D:BH, and then I downloaded the Dark Pictures Anthology and played 2 out of the 4 of those. I’m sure those would have hit different had I played them first, but knowing that the ending is ultimately the same no matter which direction you go definitely ruins the replayability. All 4 run into the very issue you were worried about with Detroit.
