I remember reading some sob story about how people weren't going to get their beloved Christmas candles that year. Like fuck you, what about the workers who died and their families?

But muh candle treats tho.

In almost every grade until around high school, my teachers would throw a pizza party on the last day of school.

It always threw me for a loop because in movies or TV shows that had a scene with a last day of school, the kids had to take a super hard quiz before they could leave. Media always makes school seem scarier and more difficult than it actually was.

Regulations like "workers must work in marginally safe conditions and be paid a minimal amount of money" make it impossible to be innovative.

I wish I was joking. I've argued with business owners who unironically believe OSHA and minimum wage are the biggest reasons they aren't billionaires.

There are still cars that come with incandescent bulbs. I own a 3 year old base model Civic and it still has regular light bulbs in the headlights and tail lights.

"You will become more conservative when you get a job."

Me after being steadily employed for 22 years: hammer-sickle

"You will become more conservative when you own a house."

Me after owning a house for 5 years: hammer-sickle

Unless by "conservative" they mean conserving against liberal and chud mindset.

And he dies in a painful, humiliating way (eaten to death by little dinosaurs).

Dieter's death in the second film (CW: cinematic blood) almost mirrors how Hammond died in the novel.

The only ASMR I can stand is the sound of food cooking/sizzling, only because it triggers an appetite for me.

Shit like whispering, fingernails clacking on hard surfaces, or plastic bags being crinkled... no thanks.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

Oh shit I completely misread your comment lmao. I thought you meant in general and not directed at Taylor.

But he did bring up the pet thing on a nationally televised debate though. "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats!"

When Trump brought the cat and dog thing up at the debate, I thought he was cooked and that nobody in the right frame of mind, not even the average chud, would believe it, but the next day people at my work were talking about how true it is and that it needs to be stopped. It's amazing and scary how easily people are quick to believe something without a shred of evidence.

Even my mom texted me a mugshot of a woman who was arrested for killing and trying to eat a cat. But when I replied that it happened in a completely different city and the suspect was a US born citizen with mental issues, she said that the suspect was actually Haitian, it happened in Springfield and the police are pretending it happened somewhere else to make their town look good.

I don't even know how to respond to a take like that. Just a year or so ago she was happy to see Alex Jones getting canceled for threatening families of the kids who died at Sandy Hook. Now she's believing and forwarding Jones-grade conspiracy shit, and she couldn't care less about school shootings anymore. It's depressing as fuck.

Rats have gotten into the confiscated marijuana at the vermin-infested and decaying New Orleans Police Department headquarters, the city's top cop warned.

"I want you to see the tray of all of the roaches, major rodents on the floor, the cockroaches, the rats eating our marijuana. They're all high," Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick told the Criminal Justice Committee on Monday about the evidence room.

The current department headquarters houses substandard facilities with broken air conditioners and elevators. Officers "have nowhere to use a restroom," according to Kirkpatrick.

I guess Carano's post-Disney movie career with Ben Shapiro wasn't paying the bills. With Musk having skin in the game this shitshow is gonna be so fun to watch, but the better part of me knows Disney is just gonna settle out of court for some undisclosed amount and the chuds will say they "won."

Going by social media reactions, I'm seeing these street-blocking protests getting praises from both people on the left and the right. I'm trying to decipher what I can by translating French articles on the matter but I'm still not entirely sure what the ideology behind this protest is.

I mean, going against a colonialist government is always based, but I'd feel a little icky supporting the movement if it's chuds throwing a tantrum that they're forced to pay their workers living wages, or can't dump pigshit into waterways or something.

More often than not, the plots are a variation of "woman in the big city gives up her job, leaves her (admittedly bougie and shitty) boyfriend, and moves back to the small town she grew up in where she hooks up with her old boyfriend who, in spite of his working class salt-of-the-earth appearance, has money."
