Imma try to keep this brief but quick history lesson... this specific rhetoric is literally how the Nazi party rose to power. I studied abroad in Berlin and learned a lot about the Weimar Republic which I had never even heard of before. They don't teach it here on purpose (1/?)
@skinnyprinsess I’ve made a 10 hour round trip in 1 day for a 30 minute doctor’s appointment because it was less costly to drive to the doctor than to have the blood work done at a 3rd party lab.
@autismpills I saw that you mentioned that he’s at an age where heart to hearts feel really cringe to him, so maybe it would be more effective to name it/call it out in the moment? Just a quick “Ew dude, gross. That’s so racist!” or “Wow, I didn’t think you were so sexist.”
@mimrebel I totally agree with you. Very little makes me feel as good as when one of my spouse’s coworkers mentions that he was showing off something I made, talking about how much he loves something I did, or how proud he is of me.
If I knew he only complained about me I would be gutted.
@BelieveMeAshlee Ewwww that’s so disappointing. I’ve never really listened to Post Malone, but as a former Uber driver, his fans were always so kind and patient (and tipped well).
@camcavers@clhubes@twinklehazza_ 😂 my sister has taught my niblings that swear words aren’t “bad,” they’re just “grown up words” that they can use when they are grown ups, but not when they are kids.
@a_h_reaume I rarely shave my legs because it’s just not a priority for me, but when I was younger I also had very fine blond hair on my thighs so I never shaved them either.
@BelieveMeAshlee Mazaj in the Foundry does chicken shawarma plates, wraps, and loaded fries. I haven’t tried it myself but Griffin had the fries last month and said they were incredible, really generous portions as well. (They’re also Palestinian owned.)
@liketospend Nope. Could have been a mental health day, a migraine that went away after sleep and/or meds, maybe a kid that was sick that they had to care for, or a million other things.
Work isn’t everything and what my coworkers need personal time for is not my business.
@AussieSteve6 Pre(and during)-Covid I have had strep/tonsillitis type infections that have had similar symptoms (fever, cough, extremely sore throat). Usually with swollen/tender lymph nodes in the neck and moderate to severe fatigue.
Hopefully not Covid, but I still take precautions anyway.
