For me, I was a kid in the 80s/90s and I (thought I) didn't know a single gay person personally. So many people were in the closet back then.
I didn't really say fag much but for us kids, gay meant lame. "That's gay" - I would hear or say it many times a day. It didn't even mean homosexual, although once I got older I could see how it was harmful. Once people I knew came out and I knew gay adults I made the conscious decision to stop saying it.
That's not what lame duck means. And sending people to prison in Guantanamo Bay, El Salvador, and Panama is pretty significant. They can't even find one of the legal guys who has been ordered to be returned to the US. US (possibly world) heading for economic recession if not depression. Inflation and lack of work like you've never seen unless you're 100 years old. We've got an anti vaccine fuckwit in charge of healthcare. An unelected oligarch has dismantled large portions of the federal government. They've got their eyes on social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It's certainly not nothing.
He cheats flagrantly at golf just like everything else.
And how much of that is in the form of a 401(k), IRA, or pension mutual fund? I'd wager greater than 90%. You don't have to know anything about the market to own these investments. I'm certain the number who actively trade or even check what they're invested in is quite small.
If everyone voted the Republican party wouldn't exist.
10 bucks says they delay it.
I have a shark vacuum, I don't know the model. It's really good for two reasons. First, it slides down low profile to go under things easily. Second, it has a three foot long detachable suck stick so you can get bigger stuff or get down in cracks. It's great for around the litter boxes. 4.5 stars because things could always suck more.
It's very front of mind because these are the "interesting times" from the Chinese curse. Even people I've always known to say they don't pay attention to politics, can't watch the news it just makes me sad, etc. These people are talking politics every day. It's hard not to.
I used to drive exhausted all the time due to my job. Two months ago I veered off the right side of the road. Immediately woke up because the van was bouncing a shit ton, then I kissed the guardrail. I might be dead if it wasn't for that guardrail. Lost my job because of it though.
A very long time being essentially forever right? Didn't archaeologists find 2000 - 3000 year old honey in a tomb that was still good to eat?
Makes anything sound badass. Like, hello Joseph, I'd like to introduce you to my sawed off wife.
Sorry Tobayashi-san, I can't be seen with you. Recent errata put you in D tier.
