I just went to a festival that had only this brand for even regular still water, no water bottles with a cap. It was insanely irritating to not be able to just hang on to a bottle of water in my bag and pull it out whenever to take a sip, you have to just sit there and drink the whole water at once. Or toss it and spend another $6 to buy another can of water when you’re thirsty again. A small problem as problems go but frustrating at the time!

It’s okay, just now on the news I saw that a man successfully shot and killed his 21 year old son, so the universe is now balanced.

When I was a kid I won a trip for 4 people to Washington DC (plane and hotel) plus $500 spending money for the trip from entering a contest I found on the back of a Cheerios box. It was a mail-in entry and I had entirely forgotten about it but weeks later I got a letter saying I won. My parents had no idea I entered and thought it was junk mail at first but were super excited when they realized it was real. Everything went smoothly and we got a fantastic family trip and memory out of it.

Well not so quiet anymore

I am fucking gutted, I am so sad and angry and I don’t know what to do. I am overall a happy and positive person and believe in humanity but this win feels like it’s stripping me of a piece of that and I hate that! I hate that I feel so much hate right now, it’s exactly what I preach against, yet here I am. I can’t believe this is happening

I’ve seen this conversation come up so many times and I’m never not fascinated by it. I have a nonstop internal monologue, it can be exhausting really. But I can’t fully wrap my head around thinking without it

Agreed, as a whole we need to stop the argument line of reasoning that one alternative is at the expense of another, and then admonishing one because it’s not the “better” of the two options. Multiple things can happen at once, progress isn’t necessarily linear.

I want nothing more than to sporadically think of this throughout the day today

Edit: Imagine my equal delight and disappointment to realize we weren’t talking about actual tiny dragon toys

I’ll always remember that Reddit (it feels awkward typing that name here…) post where a user discerned from a post that the OP was likely suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. OP checked it out and there were high levels in his house, random internet stranger basically saved the guy’s life.

Oh but I DO hide in the building after I “quietly” leave. Then I just like sit at the breakfast table in my “borrowed” jammies and ask what’s for breakfast as my gracious host rounds the corner in the morning

The problem with how to deal with Trump is that up until his “presidency” his predecessors had some level of respect for the office and its duties. There were lines you didn’t cross, lines that no one thought needed definition or outlined consequences because anyone that would achieve the office of president, elected by the people, could never treat the position so heinously and with such disregard and irreverence for everything and anything the office stands for. We’ve never had someone in charge with zero regard (and frankly probably very little understanding of it) for our system of government, the constitution, and how/why it was all created in the way it was. Enter Trump and we realize we don’t have the guidelines and practices in place to handle it, because no one had ever fathomed someone like him would be running the country. I’ve said since he ran the first time he’s the biggest threat to our democracy we’ve ever seen, at least that I’ve seen in my lifetime. He’s a cult leader (but that’s outside the scope of your question) and from outside the cult his influence is mind boggling. Also we’re never given 2 good candidates to choose from, it’s always whoever sucks less. And understandably people have serious concerns about voting for Biden for another 4 years.

I think at this point we could agree to drop the “self-proclaimed” part and just give the guy his full Asteroid Hunter status… By the way, what a badass title! I’d love to be able to introduce myself as “Asteroid Hunter” at parties

Happy birthday from one of my uber goofs!

Edit: and now the other

Oscar looks like he just crawled out of a well and is about to steal my soul

Man, I never get the pug flights!

Ah yes, when I think “Canada” I think “malicious and provocative”

American here. This is sadly very true and I find it unbelievably distressing. For me, after Sandy Hook happened (the mass shooting of over 20 elementary school aged children) and nothing changed, it became clear nothing would ever change. And I feel completely helpless about it. I used to be highly opposed to having a gun in my home but it’s gotten so bad that I’m starting to consider getting one for our safety…which pisses me the fuck off because then I feel like I’m forced to be part of the problem. I went to a big trick or treating Halloween event last weekend in a major part of town with lots of kids and adults, and in the back of my head I definitely had a little fear that this would be the kind of thing that would get shot up these days. It’s so far out of control, it’s so disgusting.

Oh one of my very favorite all time memes is this pic with the caption “baby stingrays look like tiny damned souls trapped in ravioli”

Girl here and I have these delusions of grandeur all the time, just silly day dreams of saving the day and rescuing whoever is near by at present moment. I don’t know why, I’d not do well with the attention of it afterwards, maybe something about feeling strong and capable. I hate feeling weak

Don’t worry, it’ll rise to the occasion
