I think the extraneous details were meant to make it feel more “real” but instead I was rolling my eyes at how fake it felt. You remember all that shit from 35 years ago?

More like David Jerking!!! I’ll also accept David Wanking for our UK friends.

I just came in here to complain about this!!! Also I noticed they no longer show the number of comments on an article. I’m guessing it’s a “trap” since the articles themselves are mostly crap and now you have to click through to see if there’s any discussion whatsoever. I think it’ll backfire though, personally I’d be…

Kamala Harris Hosted a Women Senators Dinner, But Who Was It For?

Gilead doesn’t not work because of “natural inclinations” (LOL) , it doesn’t work because they appear to have abandoned technological capitalism  entirely and replaced it with role play feudalism. There’s nothing to offer even the higher ranking people in Gilead; does nobody miss fast food, baseball games, sweatpants?…

The book benefitted by vaguely alluding to the conditions that allowed for the rise of Gilead, which made sense with the limited perspective of the narrator, and of course Margaret Atwood’s superb prose, so you are able to just go along with the premise of a liberal democracy sliding into a repressive theocracy.

Not to mention they clearly reprogrammed the treadmill to say “blessed day”. WTF? So there’s Gilead tech bros? Who are somehow down with a regime that wants to LARP as colonial williamsburg and eschew capitalism for some god damn reason? And wear suits constantly? Also, the gas thing reminded me, we see Gileadean…

I’m in a super blue area with high vaccination rates, I’m gonna assume people will see my J&J ho stroll and think vaccinated not republican lol

At first I was skeptical but those all look pretty good on you! I will likely be hanging on to my skinny jeans for a while but hey you are rocking them!

I don’t think the “finally” parenthetical is very fair to Biden, who hasn’t been in office 100 days and kind of had some other stuff on the front burner. I’m frankly pleasantly surprised he’s testing the waters so quickly.

Omg thank you lol. I basically just immediately skipped down to the comments to pose the “how do they POOP” question

Yah come to think if it that’s likely what they did. I was able to schedule it online.

I’m a Kaiser member and there were tons of open appointments (got J&J yesterday), though my buddies who weren’t members somehow got it even earlier even though they scheduled it later lol

I swear to god with this guy’s face. He looks like the Thatcher Illusion

It looks like the Thatcher Illusion

It’s pretty cheap too! I love the basement and the whole yard/bar set up. I agree that the spiderweb/mirrors/coffins can go but I’d keep the mural lol.

Not everybody has a bank account and not everybody gets tax refunds.

Ethiopia may have been occupied for 5 years, but I thought it was (rather famously) never colonized?

I dunno, I went to the website to see if the fries were really as unappetizing as that picture and they didn’t look that much better.
