For laughs, I checked out how much the meal cost in my city. It’s $12.

For two dollars more, I can get a better burger at my neighborhood bar.

It’s as harmful as picking up a random bug and eating it.

Which means: you might die. Or you might not.

Trusting the internet to give you the answer here as the final defacto answer… Maybe not the best.

Wait am I supposed to just motion the mushroom in and out repeatedly then once it shrivels, the job is done?

Some women also call it their flowers and yeah I go down on flowers. :finger-guns:

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Your other person’s tomorrow is you.

Agreed! There’s apparently a huge ecosystem that I wasn’t aware of!

This is very much it.

I’m not trying to dismiss OP either. I’m glad they finally notice. But for a huge population of the world, it’s ALWAYS been there. There’s been a lot of evil shit. It’s just it was never on their doorstep until now.

But this isn’t a “The world is all doom and gloom”.

There is a significant amount of positive upswings. Looking in the past 10,000 years, we are absolutely in a better era. We can make jokes and shit post about it, but the average person’s quality of life back then no where matched what we are doing today. We tend to be relatively safe. We can get a variety of food anywhere.

Humans unfortunately only have a small window of time and don’t see it, but there’s a lot of good in the past hundred years.

Do you give out compliments to your buds?

Salute you. It’s about letting people know there’s resistance

Am I being wooshed? It’s impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.

I have friends who are in scientific research and 100% of them from multiple institutions are affected by Trump. Every single one.

One is out of a job in early Jan. The others over the next 3 months. It’s really bad.

I held onto Windows 7 even a year or two past so-called the EOL. I had a pretty powerful rig and I wasn’t going to pay money to upgrade. Then I think Microsoft just gave Windows 8 for free?

I finally got on Windows 10 when I bought a premade gaming computer. Still not upgrading.

I blame all the satire.

It didn’t just go over their heads, they took it as truth and ran with it.

You know, I didn’t pick up that he was pointing that out too. George Carlin still hitting us from the grave.

American here. Maybe I’m going through the five stages of grief and now I’m at acceptance.

Everything in your first paragraph sounds accurate and maybe something that probably needed to happen. America as the World Police is/has been a problem. There were some positives, but a lot of negatives.

The sooner America gets off the stage, the better. We don’t deserve the recognition. We can’t even feed our own people and yet wield tremendous influence internationally, and maybe it’s a positive thing that it ends soon.

At age 17, I remember running 2 miles to school and then back home so I can save my bus money. I was also playing sports, doing some heavy lifting then repeating it over and over again.

Now I walk a few blocks and I’m like “Enough exercise for today!”

I went to a small town recently and this was it.

The small “boutique” shop absolutely has a Karen-looking gal who was selling things from Temu but with her sticker on it.

Real sad state.

Well I mean, it’s usually one company making 23 bagel flavors. Look at toothpaste. There’s Colgate and then 15 Colgate variants. But if we go higher, the parent company owns 2-5 toothpaste beands, and those toothpaste brands have multiple variants.

And then we go even higher, and those parent companies are actually owned by the same group of people.

I mean if we want to get real about it, do we really want that fake choice either?

I like that a lot. Don’t know if it was a expensive concert but I like going to shows where the ticket price is cheap, and the musicians tell people it’s a work in progress.

It’s weird. I saw Wheatus perform recently and he did a bunch of songs I wasn’t familiar with. Then he played his most famous song, “Teenage Dirtbag”, that they made in like 2000.

The band is like grandparents age, singing a song about teenagers. And it was incredible.
