A group of us like to save up all the stuff we got that we don’t want & have a Christmas in July yard sale where we donate all the sale proceeds to our local animal shelter & donate the unsold stuff to other charities. Both the fun of the yard sale & the fundraising make us actually look forward to getting stuff we…

Emphasis on Donate it. Even if it is not for you, it may speak to someone. Giving it to a charity that can regift it to someone in need, or can sell it to support their mission, is far better than landfill.

Tip from an adult: stay in a hotel when visiting family. It helps anxiety to be able to remove yourself from family and recharge on your own.

Same way I deal with people texting while driving when I’m a passenger: “Stop doing that or let me drive. Otherwise you can let me out up here.”

Does my dad smacking me upside the head and telling me to toughen up count?

My family bought a fake tree when I was a little kid, which lasted for just over 10 years - it could have lasted a whole lot longer, but the way it was built, you had to install each branch separately, and by then, us kids had managed to lose or break most of the branches, or their attachment sites on the trunk. Then…

Absolutely. My family had one tree that had been around since before I can remember. My parents had continued to use that same tree until about three years ago when my sister and I bought them a new one. I’m 28 now, so that tree was easily 20 years old by the time it got thrown out. I don’t know anyone who buys an…

... but you’d have to use your fake tree for about twenty Christmases before it became a better environmental bet than a real tree. That’s bad news for most fake tree fiends, as the average lifespan for an artificial tree is more like six years, and especially for folks who go trendy with their fake trees—you…

You mean smacked like a ‘fro be patted? Yeah, no. Never touch someone’s hair without their permission, black or white.

More white people need to do exactly this to be better people. (Minus the injuries if it can be helped of course.)

Of course it was worth it to her. She’s gonna be the black person Fox brings in to shit on BLM and support any number of racist policies for the next 20 years, and make way more doing that than she did as a white house whatever-the-hell-it-was-she-did.

We’ve been doing that for like 3 months now. This is fine.

He’s a guy who doesn’t care about the pain of other human beings. He breaks sworn oaths to uphold the law. He molests children. He wasn’t even a competent judge. Why would we think he gives a shit about whether the horse is comfortable or whether he’s doing a good job riding it?

It’s stories like these that have made me afraid...just for a guy to like me. You just don’t know how these guys will react. Sometimes just being polite will put you in harms way. I told an 60+year old man good morning passing him in the store & held the door open for him. He said thank you & 15sec later asked me for…

Edit: Duplicate post because kinja so have a puppy gif instead.

Cartman Coma was already done in ‘Cartman’s Incredible Gift,’ but killing him would be a great way to focus on Kenny, an underutilized major character this season.

Mind you, we’ve had some rocking Kenny adventures. The Heavy Metal parody episode, and most of the subplot for the Gentrification arc.

More often than not, though, Parker and Stone have fumbled when it comes to Garrison as Trump
