@Burchoff @Ameen_HGA @Teltae @howertonjosh Maybe because if it's happening at all, the scale really is small enough that no one should care.

Unless you really want to take the position that 40 million people should go hungry in the richest country on earth because a handful of them don't qualify for assistance.

@cordiallycourt I wonder if there might be a "piano moving and storage" kind of company in the area that could pick it up and at least store it safely short term while you work out what to do with it. There would be a cost of course, but maybe less than hauling it to VA? 🤔

@cordiallycourt Did the school just tell you out of the blue "Oh hey we're moving in a month, come get it"? Even if you actively wanted to sell, making it go away in that time window is a bit of a tall order. +

@Lala80847543 @JodiLuJohnson @_nomadic_soul I could be wrong, but I took "online it's worse" to refer to the degree and frequency, not the personal impact. It absolutely happens in real life, just hopefully not like fifty times before you've walked a city block. 🤔

@hoopersnook Those eyes speak *volumes*.

@JacobPetterle @KrangTNelson @DOGE Federal law is public and recorded too, and Trump can't just wave that away by executive fiat.

@ObiJuanKenobi19 @emilykmay Don't be that guy. 🤷🏼

Bonus tip: What you did in your comment is called "tone policing". Don't be that guy either. 🤨

[Joel Fouse @jfouse]

@ObiJuanKenobi19 @emilykmay More generally speaking, if your girl is routinely seeing to it that everyone else is taken care of, who's taking care of her? I'm not suggesting you're one of them but there are too many guys whose gut response would be "I just figured she'd take care of herself too". +

@LowAltGenius @Britannica Oh not at all, to be sure, just seemed a curious stat to throw out in response to a post entirely about their elevation. Not trying to be combative or anything.

@thescottbarber If you think of "that's based" as basically saying something is "based in truth" or "based in reality", you'll roughly be in the right neighborhood.

@imwesto @emilykmay A pretty big one is whether either of them speak harshly or critically to or about the other one in the presence of others. 🤔

[Joel Fouse @jfouse]

@emilykmay @woernerAF Don't mind me catching up on the news. ☺️ Have fun and be good(ish...). Peace to you both. 🙏

@heyletsmakestuf Not here much, but still... 🙂

@OutOfElement_i @andrewdgravy @RadioFreeTom My code doesn't care if I'm dressed professionally or in grubby farm jeans and a hoodie, and I work better when I'm comfortable.

@OutOfElement_i @andrewdgravy @RadioFreeTom One of several reasons I much prefer working from home. Fewer brain cycles wasted on caring what others think of my outfit means I'm more focused on doing what I do best and actually get paid for.
