I need to move there. We have never spanked our kids and they behave no worse than any other kids, and better than many.

Louis C.K. may be a bit of a creep, but one thing he said really resonates with me. Children are the only people we’re legally allowed to hit (in the U.S.). They are some of our most vulnerable people and we hit them. They rely on us to protect them, and we hit them. Fuck us for hitting our tiny, vulnerable babies. My wife wasn’t totally opposed to spanking before we had kids, but then we had kids and she can’t imagine hitting them. She’s a wonderful human.

Sausage party, some might say.

All hail the Great Potato!

No, he has the Spudas Touch.

Same people.

And possibly trafficking them.

Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol

My introduction is subtle. I text content to people. When they ask me where I get it (it’s happened twice so far), I say Lemmy. They say, “what’s that.” Gives me an opportunity to explain the similarities and differences with (advantages over) Reddit. No takers yet, but it’s coming.

Put them in a box and put the box in the drawer.

I can’t recycle just any metal thing in my bin.

I have a couple of them saved, but I have sets of actual tools that include Allen wrenches. So, I don’t keep most of them. I do keep the instructions with the item, though.

Why use a gun chambered in 6.5cm, 308win, 300wm, or 338lapua for home defense, unless you mean defense of your large estate and need long range? Shotguns are long and unwieldy. I’d go for hand guns with rounds that distort when they hit something so there is less chance of penetration and continuing on. Most likely 22lr or 9mm. 22 has less stopping power, but usually more capacity.

I work 40 hours a week (wish it were fewer), but my job consists of helping to set guidelines so that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities have effective treatment for problematic behaviors AND that their rights are protected as much as possible. I feel like the work is worthwhile. I should be paid more than I am, but I am paid better than most of the people with whom I work. If they paid me 10-15k more, it would be a pretty great job. As it is, I enjoy a lot of the work I do.

I bought my IT guy an Excel mug that said something like Freak in the Sheets. He had been helping me transfer files from one computer to another (old computer had an expanding battery issue) and said he appreciated novelty mugs. He was being a real pal about it. So, I got him a mug. I didn’t solve any of his problems, but I did let him vent some about them.

He’s not comparing her to the day. He’s saying she was beautiful back then and she’s just as beautiful 15+ years later.

Sure, but what did they expect you to do before making that change.

So, how do you power it down?

1. The immigrants are here illegally vs.
2. The deporting is illegal

Did you watch Iron Man 3, too? Just don’t go full-Killian.
