ALQ

As a fellow American Jew, I just want to say, loud and clear:

Fuck Israel, fuck Netanyahu, and free Palestine.

Israel is a segregationist state actively committing genocide. If you feel unwelcome in places that are against genocide, that sounds like it’s a you problem.

My first thought was also M&M-Peep chili; glad I’m not the only one about to go to the bathroom, forever.

Oooo, like that game where you make a sentence using the suggested words to me and I don’t know what to do with it too much scrutiny on the way to the point of the same thing as a young man and I don’t want anyone else starting with the same person as a young person who cares about it but they don’t have to be a human anymore just an idea of the time and then have enough of a relationship with him and Burns ensues after themselves.

A smart coffee maker is the person who makes sure I get to drink coffee. It’s me. I’m the smart coffee maker.

Yeah, they can keep their data-harvesting stuff to themselves; no thanks.

Jareth is not allowed to be completely gay. He can be 99% gay, but I require that 1% to remain ungay so I can have a chance with this fictional character.

Also Sarah, after she’s grown up about 15 years. She’s also not allowed to be 100% straight for the same reason.

This is a totally normal way to think, right? 🙃

Wait, does that mean…this you?

My cat. Everything else in my room brings me either misery or a feeling of meh. Cat brings joy, which is difficult for me to obtain.

This guy read Foucault’s discussion about the panopticon and took it as instructions. Ugh.

Agreed. The life of a phone includes multiple cables (unless someone here knows some trick I don’t), so including OEM hardware that’s tested and recommended for the device is great and I wish it were still standard. Phone manufacturers not including parts that they still sell separately seems to have little to do with environmentalism/conservation and much to do with profits.

The correct answer is people are fat cats. That commenter was so close.

This…is disturbing. And bizarre.

I like it. Humorous NSFW wordplay may be my new kink.

*checks username for anything Musk* It’s clean, we’re good.

I’ve unlearned much of it, but it remains an ongoing process; it’s similar to how recovery from addiction is a lifelong process. Unfortunately, many of my (I’m guessing our, but don’t want to assume) compatriots don’t feel the need to unlearn it or don’t see it as an issue to begin with.

Assuming everywhere else is better

Nowhere did I say that I assumed everywhere else was better. I can see how you inferred that, but that wasn’t my implication; I suppose my sarcasm didn’t come through well enough. Rather, I am just so used to that type of gun rhetoric here and not used to that from what I hear about NZ that it was a surprise.

Power tripping assholes exist everywhere there’s power to be had.

Fully agreed with you.

I’m in the US and did a double take when I saw that it was NZ; it’s the Americentrism that was ingrained in me since childhood that led me to automatically assume, based on the headline, that it was a story from here.

It could easily be one of dozens of similar stories here. People here can get rabidly protective of their firearms. Threats/offensive comments like the one the employee in this situation made are common enough that I think this would only be considered a fluff piece in the states, if it made the news at all.

Is he secretly an American? Because that sounds far more like something I’d hear here. Atrocious.

For the nth time in general, I am calling on Lauren Boebert to provide the American people with proof of decency and respect.

I remember learning this about 20ish years ago and telling my then-sister in law about it when I explained why I wasn’t going to use it anymore. I got told I had a stick up my ass, and this was by a marginalized (gay, immigrant) woman. (Somewhat unrelated note - very grateful she’s a former relation.)

So glad people have been learning and I’ve been hearing “gypped” less and less in recent years.

California, here, and not any of the parts that get snow. (Closest we get is hail, which feels like it happens maybe twice a decade.) We called it “snow,” too. :)

Nah, most of them moved to Saturn after they got married.
