One of the things I love is when a noob starts watching Trek shows for the first time, and they're like, This is so silly, it's ridiculous, that guy turned into a lizard and impregnated his captain, that lady got possessed by a sex ghost that belonged to her grandma, the captain is sorting a room full of floofy guinea pigs, the ship runs on mushrooms, this theme song makes no sense, and I'm just like Yeah, isn't it great?! You either get it or you don't, I don't know what to tell you.
Someone once told me that all pets are "emotional hostages".
I told them "My pets manipulate me all of the time to feed them, take them on walks, play with them, train them, give them set boundaries, stimulate their minds, and produce scratches and scritches on demand and if I don't they'll bark, sulk, or shit on the floor in retaliation. SO WHO'S THE EMOTIONAL HOSTAGE AGAIN???"
@Mrfunkedude I once went outside and stood with my dog in front yard, giving him pets, while he surveyed our street. He demands I do that all the time now and will just sit and stare at me until I do.
@RickiTarr Are you telling me I should have been doing ibuprofen instead of hotboxing my friend’s garden shed at lunch then going to French class? Just as… um… you know… a random example I pulled from nowhere.
To change the live TV channel with #Plex on #Roku takes 3 button pushes and 11 seconds. It occurred to me that it was actually faster back in the old black and white TV days to get up out of the chair, walk over to the TV, and manually change the channel. This is what 65 years of technology advances has brought us.
@AGT@StillIRise1963 We should have gone in united with our allies and pushed Russia out of Ukraine from the start then immediately let them and any former Soviet country that wants to into the UN. Instead we’re doing the bare minimum to help Ukraine and allowing arms manufacturers to profit by stringing this war out.
At some point, my purse became a walking pharmacy. Stomach upset, got a headache? I have you covered. Need bug spray or sunscreen, what about some lotion or hand sanitizer? I've got a snack, and something to freshen your breath.
When I had surgery a few years ago, I had a weight limit of 10 pounds for 3 months! Hubs said he needed to weigh my purse to make sure I could safely carry it. I thought he was joking, turns out it weighed 17 pounds!
I have a theory that the men who reply to posts with some version of "not all men" do so because they see some of themselves in whatever statement was made and they don't like it.
@talia_christine Of course it’s not all men but what a lot of men don’t understand is it could be any man and how can one tell the difference. Rather than defend my character I try to reflect on the impact my words and actions have on women then learn and adjust accordingly. The only way things will get better, and safer, is if ALL MEN step up and be better.
@TCatInReality@GottaLaff Democrats need to realize that it’s not on the voters. If Biden can’t convince people to come out vote for him over a 3rd party candidate that loss will be on him alone.
