The new neighbor introduces herself. I smile and gesture to my two blond boys playing in the yard, "Those are my sons, Chip and Ding." My prideful face darkens as I point to the glinting eyes peering out from under the porch. "And those are my lesser sons, Scratch and Dent."
@LexBexTexMex@s0upworld The crazy thing is that when they apply the discount they’re literally just searching for a coupon on consumer sites like goodrx or rxsaver, if you don’t have a very kind pharmacist you can find the codes yourself for them to type in.
@SheldonMiniCoop@AGoldmund They’re releasing an album soon and I can’t just go up to people at work asking if they know who The Butthole Surfers are to tell them :-(
The hipster music discussion has devolved into 35 year olds trying to out-cool each other with what they listened to and frankly that’s the hipster spirit, right there
@lunachainsaw why do certain people act like thinking critically is an active action that requires effort and not something you're just doing all the time
@JohnGVibes@Jerusalem_Post Legitimately might be melatropin which bodybuilders (and RFK Jr.?) use to “prime their skin for UV exposure” or produce more melanin
the only true sensitive young man is my 80 year old friend from church, who tells me he is unable to look at beautiful women for too long because he will develop severe, life-threatening heart palpitations
@Alcoholic__fox@apacifish@lectrvera@iheartguap Provide a safe space for them in your own home, then. If you run a venue and a 17 year old gets in and leaves in an ambulance you can’t blame it on your of-age patrons for failing to approach anyone who “looks underage” and babysitting them.
@Wifesucker I guess this is what Alex Jones was talking about when he said like a decade ago that he had proof that chimeras were real because he saw a fish with “sad human eyes”
@emsenigma@fawnmeats The tweet itself was about the fact that there’s a distinction between the two and how the “new” definition has rendered the original as an umbrella term to include anybody seeking to vent. Shelving would mean “let’s put this term to rest until the two are distinct again”
@ahoeincognito@notpopbase I’m seeing way too many people saying “well she did relapse by taking a pill” as if she deserved to die??? The US government used to actively poison alcohol during prohibition “because it was illegal to consume” and I’m starting to think that Gen Z will bring that back
@emsenigma@fawnmeats I think the post is referring to how many people call ALL venting “trauma dumping” similarly to how “trauma bonding” went from shared experience to mutual venting over similar trauma. Words lose their meanings at some point and you can’t restore them back to their definition.
