Same here! I’m still stubbornly anti-social media. It really does get you some weird looks from people. I get the same reaction for that now as I did 15 years ago when I would freely admit I got rid of my TV and didn’t regret it.

W0w, that’s ridiculous. And somehow completely unsurprising.

Same here. You can’t get me, America! Muwahahahaha.

Maybe google translate is gonna get a serious workout. /s

*smacks my dentures* Well, back in my day, people used their phones to talk to other people. They would dial those silly phone numbers, and then there would be a ringing sound, and then the other person would pick up the phone, and you would have a talky conversation! Bah humbug and get off my lawn! *swats young’un…

They were singing the “goodbye” song to signal to the Republican members that them passing this bill signaled their eventual ouster in the upcoming elections. It’s a bit grandstanding and some people are upset by it, but honestly on the scale of stuff to get upset about, this doesn’t even come CLOSE to making the list…

If you’re going store bought,  I would go with cupcakes if you’re going with something portable and if you care to make a quick getaway. Cake is hard to transport in pieces and will probably disintegrate when thrown if you’re more than a few feet away. Cupcakes you can get a nice windup going from further away and…

I know it was inappropriate, but they’re not singing out of anything even remotely positive. I responded to a similar post upthread with a fuller explanation:

Same here. My 2 late grandparents both had long illnesses requiring hospital stays and palliative care. If we were under the American system, it might have ended up being a choice between letting them suffer until they die or bankrupting our whole family. It makes me so angry I want to cry when I think about it, and…

I kind of look at it another way, I hate to use a sports analogy, but the Dems are basically the underdogs with the odds stacks completely against them, although they are in the right. And in that position, if you’re going to keep fighting, even if you lose, you never let the other team see you feel defeated. They…

Ron Reagan Jr. is a vocal atheist and liberal, and apparently it really annoys his half-brother Michael, who’s very religious and Republican. Of course I’m pretty sure neither of them would ever say a bad word about their father, but Ron Jr. had lots and lots to say about Trump during the election, none of it good,…

Yes, please! And please let the door hit him as hard as possible on the way out... preferably leaving permanent damage that will have to be soothed using part of his golden parachute.

I know, I’m breathlessly anticipating the Elijah Cummings ‘C’mon, man!’ gif that I will put into use immediately. lol

I totally appreciate that and agree. I’ve forgotten most of my high school French, but I’m familiar with French curse words. I think asshole is a bit of a harsh translation, especially coming in a non-casual setting. (Like, there’s a difference between calling your friend an asshole for doing something stupid as a…

I always want to scream this at the top of my lungs when people are going off on how this criminal deserves the death penalty because he’s done this-absolutely-horrific-crime, and so he deserves to die. When I read those absolutely inhuman, horrific accounts, I feel the same rage, and literally feel like I could beat…

I haven’t seen this covered yet, so I wrote a post about it (it’s my first, so please be kind!), I thought I’d drop a link here:
