Local government is great but we’re a pretty small township.

National government is fucked and can go fuck itself. Packed full of incompetent morons, sycophants, opportunists, grifters, and brainworms, and riddled with hate - racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, ableism, etc. It’s a smorgasbord of vile shitheads who never should’ve gotten anywhere near this much power.

Terrifyin’!

Late Gen X / early Millennial is called a Xennial. We’re characterized as having been born in a largely analog world and coming of age as consumer technology became more prevalent. I think it informally encompasses 1977-1983.

I was born in '81 and graduated high school in '99. I grew up hearing that I was Gen X, the slacker generation, the whatever generation, the generation where trying was uncool. And that’s exactly the experience I had. I was an adult before I ever heard the term ‘millennial’ and I don’t identify with it at all, though technically I’m on the cusp. Xennial does seem to fit though.

Doesn’t the baby already come covered in parmesan cheese?

And if a woman eats zero burgers during her pregnancy she will give birth to the Hamburglar. Forever trying to get the nutrients he was denied as a fetus.

Gamer boys are TERRIBLE at self-care and hygiene.

I’m so curious about this. Why are they like that? I don’t understand how that happens, and what specifically about gaming makes it more prevalent.

It’s not, but if you actually need a rebuttal, let’s go:

- insecure pose is related to its brethren of other insecure poses, such as the peace sign ✌️😉✌️, tongue sticking out😜, duck lips😙

What about this pose is in any way insecure? She is confidently giving the finger to those who don’t respect consent.

- there is this weird lust for such poses

This is your own opinion and not substantiated by anything here as far as I can see.

- the brand clothing indicating commodity fetishism aka lust

There’s nothing wrong with people liking brand-name clothes. You personally may have a beef with it but calling it ‘lust’ is not justified by anything in the image.

- the coffee indicating lack of self control and gluttony/lust aka addiction

Again with the ‘lust’? Coffee is such a normal thing. There’s nothing here to indicate she’s addicted, or a glutton, or in any way out of control. You’re reading an insane amount into this simple drawing.

- expectation for others to read your mind when speaking indirectly, vaguely, or with innuendo

It’s not an expectation. She’s spelling out exactly the ways in which people try to ignore a woman’s lack of consent.

- closed-mindedness to the world of opportinity

Opportunity to what, have sex she doesn’t want to have? Are you serious right now?

- the sublte implication of superiority

Substantiate this please, because again, there’s nothing in the image supporting this claim.

- the callous disregard for the other person

You mean the person who’s callously disregarding her by ignoring the very clear lack of consent? Because that’s the type of person this image is aimed at.

- the lack of empathy

Same comment as above. Who exactly does she owe empathy?

- the excessive self-conciet and pride in oneself

Again, totally unsubstantiated in the image. She’s allowed to be proud of herself just like anybody else, but there’s nothing excessive here.

You’ve read a lot of nonsense into this image. Maybe have a think about why that is.

What on earth.

I’m really sorry your GRS coverage was denied, that awful. But this gratitude/accomplishment list is awesome - it sounds like you’ve come so far and I’m really happy for you :)

Only 2? I only got one, which was part of lunch. How many is normal?

And it was always “three Hail Marys and a Glory Be” and you’re golden. What a weird ritual.

Not the dude in the Bible, because the things he’s supposed to have done are impossible. So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him. A certain amount of the jesus story comes from contemporaneous myths - IIRC, a virgin birth was a common one.

Agreed, classic rock all the way!!

Pet unicorn, no doubt about it. I would name it Morgan in honor of one of my favorite childhood books.

Would you rather know what happens five years in the future, or be able to change something five years in the past?

bang bang, shoot shoot

I feel like there are a lot of teachers that have no business teaching.

Me too, I’m not a fan of sweet breakfasts.

Ooh that’s a tough choice - I think usually I’d prefer the sunny summer day, although lately it’s been edging toward fall here and I’m not complaining! It’s nice to have my windows open and not run the AC.

Would you rather wear jeans all the time or dresses?

Savory usually, but I can’t resist a combo - for me, honey roasted nuts are like the ideal snack food

Would you rather listen to classic rock or contemporary coffee shop music?

Ooh incredibly rich, definitely. I’m an introvert so being supet popular would be hard!

If you had to pick a manual-labor profession, would you rather be a blacksmith or a carpenter?

I’d rather be a wonderful artist, I love color and I love being creative.

Would you rather a sweet or a savory breakfast?

5 velociraptors! Apparently Jurassic Park lied to us, they’re about the size of a turkey.

Would you rather befriend a mysterious old lady, or your next door neighbor’s very friendly pet?
