I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.
Prosecutors made the unusual decision this week to remain almost entirely mum about the order in which they planned to call their first witnesses in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York....
It sucks, but I don’t believe anything will happen to him. The secret service will never let him go to jail with the commoners. The best we can hope for is house arrest, frozen assets, and limited WiFi. He will stil run for office and his people will vote for him. It would make a funny tv show to have a president who couldn’t leave his home and had every visitor and phone call vetted and monitored.
Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....
I have a friend with whom i disagree on most issues. They were recently complaining about how bad the economy is, how expensive food is, and that their family can’t afford to eat beef. They have a large house, they’ve been paying an extra $1000-2000 per month on their mortgage for the last two years, and they invited 2 adult children to move home so the kids could save money for houses. They watch Fox News (or worse) and believe they’re struggling. I pointed out some cheap chicken and other items in a grocery ad and the response was, “but those are just the things that are on sale; everything else is expensive.” I was stunned - almost everything i buy is on sale. Yes…you’re right…the wagyu costs more than it used to.
My kids also complain, “Our grocery bill is twice what it was two years ago!” Maybe because you’re now spending $75/wk in protein shakes and supplements?
I’m not saying that people aren’t struggling or that they shouldn’t be able to buy things they want, but the people who complain the loudest (in my experience) are not the ones who are in the most difficult situations.
I like women. I like the shape and curves of the female body. I like boobs, I like asses, I like pretty vaginas. I also appreciate and am aroused by a nice cock. I’m however not otherwise attracted to the male body. I like femboys as long as they have a feminine-like shape and curves, as many of them do....
I’ve also been working on this off and on for months. Keep running out of yarn, or losing the bag with the new yarn in it. The baby it’s meant for is now 6 months old and will probably go to college before it’s done.
Boss is going away for a few days and we’re trying to create a fun surprise for when she returns. Our offices are all shared so it has to be limited to a small area and can’t impact other people toooo much.
I try to give things three episodes. Usually the first one or two have so much character/setting introduction that it takes three to really form an opinion.
The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I’m not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I’ve boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.
I’ve been struggling with sleep issues for over a decade now. My Doctor has prescribed me all sorts of medication, all of which has had many adverse side effects. What I do know that works, is Xanax. My wife was prescribed it for some stress issues and occasionally will give me one so I can finally sleep. Obviously asking my...
I'd go back to the 1970s, the dawning of personal computer growth in it's beginnings. I'd take every single idea and patent from today and collect them all in a multiple series of binders. I would spend weeks holed up in some apartment, jotting notes, re-directing credits to me....
Push some pedos into traffic. Care less what people think. Encourage my family to take better care of themselves. Save more. Take school more seriously. Keep my dog in the house that one day. Be nicer to my mom.
Finnegan, the grey, isn’t mine but he is Percy’s friend and a regular visitor. He eats my lot’s food, plays with their toys, sleeps on their sofa, and is becoming friendly with their human. I think that I have a timeshare in a sixth cat!
I’ve had school kids with that. One transferred in from another district where he ate A DOZEN latex gloves before anyone noticed in a small, self-contained, special needs class.
I’m 24 and dealing with high blood pressure. I’ve seen five doctors, had countless tests, and they all say the same thing: “Take these pills and try to reduce pressure in your life.” It’s as though my blood pressure and heart rate have minds of their own, fluctuating freely without any reason....
I had an uncle who went on bp meds at 16. It kept him from being drafted and he passed at age 82. Sometimes it’s just genetics. The concern with high blood pressure is what it does to your body over time. Take your meds - keeping it down will help prevent/limit damage and risk. Check your bp regularly to share with your doc. There are several different types of meds and it’s not unusual to need more than one type to keep it steady. 150 is high for your age, but not usually emergency level, especially if you’re asymptomatic, unless your doc has given you other guidelines.
Do you find that you're on the fed more than you were on r/ just because you're really really excited to watch your favorite communities become more active?

I like women but I also like cock but I'm not otherwise attracted to the male body at all. Wtf is my sexual orientation? AITA?

What's a fun office prank? Christmas themed if possible.

What to watch?
Sick and feel like I’ve hit the end of Netflix, Prime, … Is there a community about what everyone is streaming/recommending?
I have 2 dozen eggs to use up

I'm glad we don't snuggle people as a greeting the way we snuggle animals.
Edit to clarify that by ‘snuggle’ i meant all pets, scritches, belly rube, squeezes, ass pats, questions about who’s the goodest, nicknaming, etc.
