I’m almost in that camp, minus being a Trumpie, being 30ish and working in my career. Point is, what I used to perceive as a struggle (being broke, but too afraid to ask for money I knew I’d always get) and where Mrs. Cap was (being broke, working, and no one to rely on but herself) are two different places. Too bad…

Don’t feel bad, ever. It’s also great that you’re aware of and thankful for the privilege, too. I’m the same way about my parents buying my first car and putting me through college. So much so, I feel weird about getting gifts from them.

That said, it’s hard to get by for some folks these days. Between a job market…

If I were Sam’s parents, I’d conveniently send him off to die somewhere. He’s a liability.

I love that argument, “I hate government and taxes and it’s all socialism.”

I like coming back with something like the following:

Well, you have fun paying for that highway, for law enforcement, fire department protection and for waste management. Enjoy your unregulated and untested medicines, household chemicals and…

I can dig that comment on the Altima. I had a 2014 as a rental car after I lost my Forester and while I was getting things in place to buy an Outback.

That Altima was comfy enough, but it did handle oddly. It also had terrible blind spots. The worst part about it was the transmission. Now, I’ve dealt with CVTs in the…

For some parts of building, yeah. But eventually, you’ve got to get closer in to account for depth of a space. It’s a 3d game after all.

I’m embellishing, really. I can’t remember where I saw it, but there are reports of Turkey buying oil from Daesh, though.

Which, I kinda hope they never take the skies unless its to defend US assets in Turkey since that government may as well be sharing its wifi password with Daesh.

Matt be like, “But it’s not a cover-up!”

Well, not anymore. Took months of investigation, a suit, deleted video, locked-down video, and in the case of the officer, multiple complaints against him.

But Matt’s totally missing the culture in the organization that made all of that shit possible.

...How to be a One-Woman Man

I’m polyamorous, but I’m also betting this fool is cheating on his wife.

Thanks. That’s a big deal for me. When it came up, it helped me put in perspective for me - like, “why does this group think something is turned against them when it’s always favored them heavily? Oh wait, they’re not even aware it’s favored them because they’ve never seen a differing result.”

Good god, that head bounce...that’s. Holy shit. Then when a teammate tried to pick Keenum up and Keenum was basically limp. What the fuck, refs?

Seriously, right? I’m pretty sure the instructor, like all I’ve had wants the students to enjoy the class and convey its fundamentals - being mindful of the body and therefore, mindful of the world.

Cultural exchange =/= cultural appropriation.

The racists complain as if for the last however many decades of TV, when a POC died, it likely wasn’t gonna get national TV coverage unless they were wealthy, a young girl, or unless it was a slow day. Meanwhile, lily-white folks’ deaths were often televised, especially if they pretty and female.

The coverage has…

This seems so expected.

It’s like the shit in the fundie churches I used to go to.

Which is funny as Obama was often compared to Hitler or Stalin. But none of his administration or election rhetoric carried the same of amount of vitriol his opponents’ carried at the time. Lord knows that the vitriol in current GOP candidates right now is incredible, though.

Better before than long after and with kids in the picture. Guy’s still a tool, though.

If we took a shred of the warfighting budget (and by that, I mean, cleaning up the excess, reassessing weapons, service, and support contracts) and spent it on all of those services we’d be in a better place. And best yet, we’d likely still have the warfighting capability we had before, we’d just be paying less since…

They’re pretty serious about ruining your life and the life of your kids. If you’re an at-risk woman, then it’s all about forcing you into pregnancy and then having that child.
