I grew up in Texas with a gun-collecting dad. I used to be able to tell you the day that dove, boar, turkey, and deer season opened. There were no less than 30 guns behind glass staring at me my whole childhood while I watched cartoons. I spent every fucking Thanksgiving of my childhood watching dead dove get…

I have a weird place of the internet to direct you to you might enjoy - it definitely walks that line between kinky and just weird. https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatPeelingFeeling/

Oh that was on purpose - to bolster to totally made-up lies that taking guns away doesn’t stop murders. 

I was reading your comment and thought.. ‘this is how this conversation with my mother always goes’. A woman for whom, of her six children, four are low contact to varying degrees and one is completely no contact.

Wow. Just... wow.

You don’t seem to understand my original comment. I’m not picking on you, but it’s important to understand the tech behind how grassroots fundraising is done. When you donate to a candidate’s campaign directly, you are most likely (right now, anyway) using the ActBlue platform. Every single D presidential candidate is…

ActBlue is a technology company that provides a platform for Democratic candidates to raise money. None of the money you give can go to ActBlue, because they aren’t raising the money - the candidates are. They are just providing the platform. The Democratic candidate is paying for the platform in order to streamline…

As the scapegoat, I was continually amazed how often my sister, the golden child, was constantly disappointed and yet still felt loyal. If not that she was constantly try ing to ‘explain’ our mother’s bad behavior away or making up for it to those she had hurt. I understand the psychology much better now, but back…

I work with developers some. How does a developer not understand this? He’s a fucking moron. 

This is a salient point. 

I’d describe it more as the anti-superhero show. It starts with the idea that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely - and who has more power than a bunch of idolized superheroes? Add in another layer - if one has money, how much power could one attain by manipulating that natural power even if you…

I’ve got about 40 emails from 40 different manufacturers (all of them American companies and most that only import parts and assemble in the US) that say that prices have gone up. Price increases vary from 10% to 30%, with most increases hovering around 20-25%. They aren’t small. The very few manufacturers that I…

There are some great ways to show your maliciously complying with these stupid rules. I like this one. I like it a lot. :-)

Double down and enforce. No question about it. The next level of escalation will depend entirely on just how much of an asshole this person is.

There are HOA’s and then there are HOA’s in Florida. I didn’t really understand what an HOA was and the property management/HOA relationship until I bought a townhome here. Even the not-so-bad ones have major issues as far as I can tell. This is where my HOA falls - not too many power-hungry jackasses, but they have…

Ha! See my comment to Hello, America. 

Honestly, I’m willing to bet money you get the same letter and I’m also willing to bet the person who complains doesn’t know what the Puerto Rican flag or the Lousiana flag looks like. It’s an HOA in Florida. This is way more likely a power hungry board member who’s a retiree from up north. I’d even go so far as to…

The comedy sketch:

If they are all a bunch of public charges, then how come ICE keeps raiding workplaces? Liars and hypocrites, your gaslighting needs work.

That’s beautiful.
