One of ours gets stuck on the 3 different sets of measuring cups. Why do we have 3 full sets? No one knows!

I’m afraid of heights. I don’t know why I climbed a tree.

We can’t really do that, at least not where I am. Denying a request has to be based on it being information that we genuinely can’t release to anyone, we can’t just determine we’re not releasing something because the requestor is a pain in the ass. We also can’t charge people unless it takes more than 2 hours of time per request - depending on how the requests are split up, they may not meet that time. I don’t know how FOIA fees work, so maybe it’s different, but I also doubt fees will put the very- well-funded Heritage Foundation off too much.

“Fun” fact, criminal justice records are often subject to different rules than other records. In CO, we have 3 days to respond, or up to 10 if the request is so large that it needs an extension. The police, on the other hand, seem to just fart around forever. FOIA has a longer response time, but I’m guessing most federal agencies don’t get the leeway cops do, so getting a ton of these malicious requests back to back is a real pain in the dick. Speaking from experience, I’m glad I’m not the one dealing with these assholes.

“You have to enforce a law that says creditors can’t discriminate, but you can’t talk about discrimination.” Sure, Gym. How about shut the fuck up for once in your life. We already know you’re a tire fire in human form, you don’t have to keep proving it.

My coworker told me I “seem like a Jill Stein voter” the other day as a compliment. I sent him this AMA after explaining exactly why that’s not a compliment. I don’t think he knew much about her except that something called the Green Party sounds really great and progressive, right? Except Jill Stein is a fucking shill who has no interest in making this country better for anyone but herself and the people who pay her to be a spoiler.

Oh motherfucker. Had I known, I would’ve picked Grazer to win instead of Chunk on my bracket even though Chunk is objectively massive.

Oh you mean Anna Paulina Mayerhofer, whose whole background is up for debate, is a liar and a hypocrite? That’s shocking.

There are plenty of racists in the queer community, unfortunately. I mean, we’ve all seen the Log Cabin Republicans acting shocked about the leopards eating their faces, but there’s plenty of casual racism, too.

Nah, money makes you look young, but it also seems to turn a lot of people into real assholes. Tbh, though, I think people are mistaking handsome for youthful - I don’t really think either of them look any younger in the face than Walz, it’s just the hair.

Well, one of them is an abusive drunk, one is a cult member who has multiple ex-wives who’ve basically fled the marriage, and one is Tim Walz. Think I’d pick Walz.

Oh it’s not professional, we just all like animals and most of my coworkers already play fantasy football, so this fits in.

Some of them also have names. Chunk, Grazer, Otis, etc. Usually just the more popular or well-known bears though. 747 doesn’t have a name though, because his number is an apt description.

If you couldn’t tell, I’m very into Fat Bear Week - my office posts our brackets and we have a trophy for the winner.

I’ve left plenty of parties early and never got more than a token amount of shit about it. Even in college, I could just say I was tired or had homework and no one cared. I’m a serious introvert and my friends knew I had maybe an hour or two in me and no one else cared enough about me to be bothered. You can be an introvert and still have a spine.

And I had horrific, untreated anxiety and depression. Fun!

The vinegar situation where I am atm has kind of made me more depressed? Some of it is straight up ass, and the salt & vinegar chips have been pretty terrible across the board. I love vinegar, too, so I’m very sad. Maybe the vinegar has to taste good to work.

Maybe she’s poisoning you just a tiny bit at a time. Kidding, but have you guys eaten a meal at home together without you feeling sick?

I don’t have kids, but I’ve dated a few people with kids and my ex-husband had a child. From that perspective, my question is always are you willing to be a step parent? If yes, go for it. If not, stay away. Even if you think it’ll be something casual, there’s always the possibility feelings will develop beyond that, and having to break up with someone you really love because you don’t want to be a parent sucks a lot more than just saying no on the first place.

The other thing to consider is whether the other parent is still around. My ex’s first wife suuuucked. They co-parented relatively well considering how their marriage ended, but she was also a hypocritical bigot (born-again christian, shocker), which caused some friction when my stepkid was being taught things like, “we hate this person because they’re gay.” But like it or not, she was going to be around, so I had to account for that in my decision to get serious with him.

To sum up, Aldi did the same thing a lot of retailers do, which is raising their prices and then having a “sale,” they got caught, and the court agreed they did it. No info about any kind of consequences.

Well in that case, can Kevin sleep with me?
