  • Hmm I should make a note of those terpenes. Internet stranger TMI here but having ibs-d I’ve found marijuana is one of the few things that has seemed to help some over the course of my life.

    Even the prescription medicine I’ve taken for it wears off sooner or later but I’ve never really paid attention that strictly to terpenes, perhaps it’s time I do so.


  • It’s because they’re emotional support vehicles for suburban dudes who have an incredibly fragile ego. What they need is a van or a “sensible” SUV or even just y’know a fuckin car but these men are too sensitive and scared to drive one of those so they buy a truck as a family car instead.

    It’s kind of pathetic honestly.



  • Try ordering ahead with curbside pickup if you haven’t yet and it’s an option for you.

    If not … Idk … You’ll be alright. I actually prefer self checkout and to bag my own stuff so do keep in mind people have the literal opposite feelings on this topic too.

    Not to say anyone’s right or wrong, but I do agree with the post you replied to, I bet so many people were mad they couldn’t just make a list and hand it to the clerk. I wonder how many tried at first to give the cashiers or other employees a list to get for them and then were surprised when they said they had to go get it themselves.

    Now we’ve gone full circle with the curbside pick up stuff! I really like it, but sometimes they do bag stuff nonsensically but no big deal.



  • Honestly, I think what he got lambasted for was almost innocent compared to all the other #metoo stuff.

    I’m pretty sure what he did was, at the time, under the guise of a consensual sex act that the other party agreed to. Now of course there is a power imbalance and he admitted as much (His statement is here) but I found it pretty mild compared to all the wild shit happening and that happened.

    I’ll admit it’s gross and he did abuse his power over those women but he owned up to it and was honest. Huge difference between jerking off with someone watching/participating and actually raping someone though and that distinction is important.

    We really fucked up when we didn’t hang all the slave owners and give their land to the slaves like was promised. And just let the Southern states basically recreate slavery. The whole leadership and political apparatus of the South should have been destroyed for good after the Civil War ended not the milquetoast bargain that we ended up with.

    The Union should have occupied those states and reformed the education system, the moral code and made damn sure anyone glorifying the Confederacy was hung. That and making sure the laws were just and fairly enforced.

    We still are dealing with the consequences of it to this day.

    What makes you think suspending an election is going to tip the scales?

    Mostly that at least right now there’s hope for midterms to change things in Congress and then the presidential election to get Trump out. Right now we still have the trappings of a Republic. I think if elections got suspended all belief in a peaceful solution will be erased and people will react.

    You have a point though, bread and circuses go a long way towards kowtowing the population. That and the risk of death at the hands of the state. I don’t know where the line is that people will readily accept potentially getting shot especially if they’re in white man suburbia.

    Are you missing a /s on this, because some people unironically believe what you said so you’re gonna get showered in those down votes.

    I want this to have a /s, I wish it wasn’t necessary but in today’s world it seems to be. I read your post as satire fwiw

    Seems weird someone supportive of pride month says they don’t want to engage with it or be supportive because a corporation also knows June is pride month and marketing capitalizes on that.

    I don’t understand that, or maybe I’m misreading this post somehow?
