Do they think that birthing & taking care of a newborn is like “summer break”???

For the billionth time: get fucked, GOP.

In order to get the answers you’re looking for, put out the question “what exactly does this statement mean?” instead of “sounds like this means ___” and waiting for a confirmation/rejection of your assumption.

I do stuff that involves quite a lot of printing, scanning, and copying.

My goofy lil Canon Pixma MG3620 printer has held strong throughout the years.

I will scream if it ever dies, as I have zero desire to peruse the hellscape of current-day printers.

My kid now has to sit in classrooms where kids scream, threaten people, throw things, and break shit. The teacher has had to evacuate the classroom until these kids calm down. Barely any teaching or learning takes place because these poor teachers are far too busy trying to manage these students.

My kid went from top student in every single grade to an anxious wreck because he now has to deal with kids who threaten to hurt both other students and themselves.

I’m very much for “education for all”, but this ain’t the way to do it. It’s a fuckin’ mess out there. I don’t envy the kids of today in the slightest.

My parents used to be against me taking my meds. Been on them for nearly 9 years now.

I was forced to stop taking them for months due to a shortage last year.

My mother came over one day to find my house absolutely trashed, my mail piled up, my water shut off, I had gained 20 lbs, and all sorts of other “fun” things I was unable to address thanks to my condition.

She no longer encourages me to stop taking my meds.

Meds can be good. They may not be right for everyone, but take them if they help (while working with a qualified medical professional).

I’m sorry, but I hate this argument… because it’s crock.

Attackers generally do not telegraph their intentions. They often come on suddenly and unexpectedly. I’ve been assaulted before and could not have defended myself even if I wanted to. I was caught too off-guard. Having a gun would not have helped me in any of those situations.

It’s a “I am very badass!”-solution often from folks that have never been in that vulnerable kind of position before, because if they have, they would know that it cannot be reliably executed.

They want to know if your views will mesh well with the community they are trying to curate before they let you in.

I browsed Beehaw for a bit before deciding that it did, and mentioned it in my application.

I think they’re a bit more choosy now, as I used to see folks spouting things like “can you not use the word ‘minorities’? It shows a bias. You need to address everyone, not give preferential treatment,” or some other dumb horseshit.

Honestly, I think they just don’t want to have to deal with people saying stupid shit and they’re tired of trying to argue with people who A). genuinely hold stupid, shitty beliefs, or B). are trolling/pretending to be stupid in order to get a reaction.

More power to them, if that’s the case.

I wrote 3 - 4 sentences and got in.

They want people to join who will make an effort to contribute to their community.

So their “”“essay”“” requirement is working if it keeps out people who think that writing a couple lines is “mental”.

Well, the worst at hiding it, at the very least.

Keep 'em uneducated and they’ll latch onto any face-value promises.

It’s because he’s making himself out to be a martyr who is challenging a corrupt system, which is why “the system” doesn’t like him and is trying to steal what is rightfully his.

See? He’s the one fighting the true corruption!!

Honestly, anyone who still buys into this shit at this point is dead to me.

besides the admins of both instances can read them as well.

What?

Ngl, being a professional cosplayer sounds dope.

Y’all silly. They already have machines that write stuff out for you with pens and stuff. And markers, too.

I have one! A Cricut. But there are more kinds out there.

I hate you. I hate you soooo damn much.

Serious question: do y’all think that Tr×mp will eventually be Epstein`d?

What about a platypus? It could be considered part/half-duck. Or even duck-like!

I had to do this recently with one of my sisters.

She’s so self-centered to the point where I just can’t stand her, and she keeps crossing boundaries that I have repeatedly set.

Turns out, my mother begrudgingly admitted “She’s not malicious, she’s just mind-numbingly stupid.” I observed quietly for some time, and… yeah. She’s just stupid. That’s the only way I can’t be mad at her, so that’s what is keeping the peace between us.

“How do I be normal?”

…

“Dammit.”
