It's been so great the last 10 years saying "this is what will be happening because the neo-nazis are taking over" and everyone telling me I'm overreacting, I'm being hyperbolic, I'm exaggerating or my favorite "you're just being dramatic"
Remember, THERE'S NO WAY they'd overturn Roe v Wade.
And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it's 4am so you definitely won't be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.
Back in basic, almost every black person in my division got what was called a "shave chit" which was basically just a piece of paper saying "this recruit doesn't have to shave every morning for medical reasons"
And having seen them try in the first week or so to shave with everyone else, yeah. Fuck shaving every day anyway, but why would you purposely force someone to essentially slice their face off little by little wherever hair grows???
I remember my mother taking me into a store when I was a child where people were striking.
I asked why they were yelling since I couldn't read the signs. I was told "because they're lazy and think they should be paid more than people like your father"
It was many years before I understood what they were mad about, and that they do NOT believe they should be paid more, they believe everyone should be paid more but they only have control over their own employment.
Nowadays whenever I see employees striking, I give them a little fist out the window and a meep meep and shop somewhere else.
Don't cross picket lines, your nacho cheese or deodorant can be bought somewhere else. Bonus points if you call the employer to inform them that you are shopping elsewhere until their employees conditions have been met and they decide to end the strike.
Is it fasting if it's involuntary? I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch and it's partly because I wasn't hungry and partly because I had to go to the store to have enough food to make something.
Either way, that's 2 meals skipped from me, I assume Utah is underwater now?
I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.
Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.
So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a "PLEASE TAKE ONE!" sign on top.
It's too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn't count as having a fan.
My Christian relatives are big fans of the Bible, supposedly.
I believe there's something in there about "from dust we were made, to dust we return" (paraphrased) so it would even be biblical, as long as we dry and pulverize the fertilizer!
This is sounding better and better. I do want a much bigger garden so I can grow more of my own food...

That's actually a common misconception.
It's not because Japanese ninjas are bad at being ninjas, it's just that other countries ninjas are completely invisible to the naked eye.
Obviously we all know we can see our own country's ninjas, but other countries are invisible.
Thanks to years of cultural import/export, most humans can naturally see Japanese ninjas.
So congrats, if you can see a Japanese ninja, you're actually just close to being a weeb.
