Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.
By the way, Pokemon Red and Blue came out 30 years ago this year.
It feels like I've just spent my whole life holding my breath, and I'm breathing for the first time. It's orgasmic.
I don't even care if it's tmi, just wanted to share with the world that I feel incredible right now.
The orange cat is Thorin. He's 13 years old and a little cranky with other cats, especially younger ones. He doesn't have the energy to keep up anymore. Rory is ~1 year old. Super playful, and so sweet she'll give you a cavity. But she's a little much for the old man sometimes.
When I got out of bed because I was parched and needed water, I looked at the couch and could faintly make out a cat. But it also looked too big to be a cat so I turned on the light and determined that I was indeed correct. It wasn't a cat.
It was TWO whole cats!
Fast facts:
That is all for now.
TIL Dick Van Dyke is still kicking. Good for Dick.
Edit: I'm listening to AOC talk about that speech, and she is, of course, one million percent right. Not once did he mention Medicaid. They're bringing up this other bullshit to distract us. They distracted me. If you upvoted my comment in its original form, you were probably distracted, too. We should be focused on what they're REALLY doing: Gutting Medicaid.
I listened to his address. He listed off some 19 items where they slashed the so-called "waste, fraud, and abuse." The first thing was like 22 billion and the next eighteen added up to another 2.5 billion. So all in, they saved 24.5 billion.
Trump's requested 2018 budget (pre-pandemic, pre-inflation spike) was 4.094 trillion. Adjusted for inflation, it'd be 5.247 trillion today, which means they've saved basically nothing.
Well, 0.47% to be more precise. Another way of putting it, if the government was spending $100.00 in 2018, now it's spending $99.53. And if most people saw a thing that costs $99.53, they're probably gonna tell you, "That thing's a hundred bucks."
Meanwhile, a dozen of the bottom shelf eggs I bought this morning cost me six dollars. Four weeks ago, these were $1.89. My favorite brand isn't even available anymore. Also, the store limits you to two cartons at a time. They do sell packages up to five dozen, though. Those cost $42. And yes, that is a worse deal. Much worse. But if you need 60 eggs at once, that's probably how you're go about it.
Not to mention the planes falling out of the sky right now. But at least I still have my freedom, I guess?
They think that just because you voted for a certain guy, it means you love him. Nope. I probably hate Joe Biden more than most Republicans do. Unlike them, I actually know some of his policies. Some of them are great. And some of them are wretched. But most of them are just business as usual bullshit when what we need is real change.
Sometimes, the best thing they can do is to not say anything. Walz could have said nothing, and pretty well nobody would have been upset about it.
Some relatively unknown French microbiologist is rolling in his grave right now.
Am I the only one who has to do like 12 of these in a row before my humanity is recognized? Beyond mildly inconvenient, it's downright annoying now.
Edit: I use Mullvad + Firefox + Betterfox + uBO. I don't think my setup is that sophisticated lmao
Hell, even "are you down..." isn't bad. Suggested finishers:
Basically anything but that.
No problem with that. I think the meme is referring to people who spent 100k on outlandishly large and glitzy trucks to spend 100% of their lives on paved suburban streets.
By that logic, we should then remove all barriers to run. If a convicted criminal can run, there's no reason a 28 year old with no criminal background can't.
There once was a man from Miami
Whose business dealings were quite scammy
He just wouldn't stop
Til he was tricked by a cop
And now he spends time in the slammy
