I stay anonymous on here so I can be honest about my opinions.

I rarely tweet, but when I do it’s usually about Dungeons and Dragons.

I am Christian (Anglican), but I support LGBTQ+ rights, especially trans rights.

BLM and I support reparations.

@LauraGailRowe @SeanCasten BUT, when you don’t use all your allocated budget, your budget the next year is reduced. So most agencies use as much of their budget as possible.

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@LauraGailRowe @SeanCasten When allocated funds aren’t spent by a government agency, that money goes back into another fund that other agencies within the same department can apply for and is allocated based on need.

@DirtyDiceGoblin I think it depends on the nature/length of the relationship—like if you’ve been together a few months, $20-30. If you’ve been together longer, maybe $100, if you’re married, up to $200. But also, a cheap but romantic gesture > an expensive gift.

@emilykmay Don’t have to worry about a Democrat having that much power because they don’t want Trump to ever leave office. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DuchessSexpert Aww I loved those things

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@DuchessSexpert You look so pretty!

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@ask_aubry So imagine the kind of mental landscape you have to have if you think the ideal in a relationship is never having to feel jealous. Like, WOW. I honestly don’t know which half of that couple I pity more.

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@emilykmay Ehh, middle/high school popularity is a construct. I spent a few months in the popular clique in 8th grade, and it taught me a lot about what being popular is like, and I ultimately rejected it in favor of real friendships.

@pinkmagiclala I don’t understand why any man who is sexually attracted to women would criticize a woman’s boobs. ESPECIALLY if you’re being shown them for free. Like, shut up and appreciate what you’re given, you cretins. 🤨

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@emilykmay Mixed feelings? 😂 Like, glad to know she’s not gonna get thousands of dollars that I busted my butt for to buy her exactly the kind of ring she wanted, but also sad that it’s all kinda for nothing.

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@emilykmay Yeah.

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@Jason_epi @emilykmay Who knows? 🙃

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@emilykmay And now I’m pissed off because I still think it’s BS that my ex, after what she pulled, got to keep the VERY beautiful, VERY expensive wedding set I got her and has probably sold it by now. At least I didn’t give her my grandmother’s ring (she didn’t like it).

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@emilykmay …a clever but gross concept. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that creepy men have taken it as an actual suggestion and not as an off-color joke. I feel like the kind of man who hits on a woman selling her wedding ring is a LIVING off-color joke, so…there’s that.

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@ask_aubry I mean, I think about her when I see or talk about a movie she’s in or see a photo of her or see/hear her mentioned, but if you’re asking if my idle thoughts regularly or even occasionally stray to Audrey Hepburn, the answer is no.

@JakkoJohn @grumpymunster @AngularEd @ask_aubry Further Elo info: Magnus Carlsen, who is considered the greatest chess player alive right now and is the reigning world champion, holds the world record for the highest Elo ever achieved at 2882. (His Elo right now is 2831)

[NovemberPines @NovemberPines]

@JakkoJohn @grumpymunster @AngularEd @ask_aubry So for some random person to say “they aren’t chess players because they’re women and they’re hot” is like someone seeing a picture of Tiger Woods and saying “he can’t be a golfer, he’s black!” It’s ignorant, sexist/racist, and to anyone in the know, you look like an idiot.
