The video games in my house were downstairs, and one time I did a "Can I go downstairs?" instead of "Can I play video games?" when I knew they didn't want me playing more games. Thought it was a clever loophole. Only worked the one time, but got jokingly referenced for the next ten years.
I do feel like protests need to transition from "We're here with signs" to "No more labor until these problems are addressed," but I don't know how to get from here to there.
I’ve been in the supermarket business for 54 years,” Catsimatidis said
Fucking retire already.
Are there protests? Are people lining up in DC? I feel like the left is just broken and disorganized and losing on every front.
None of the men I know that are using the apps are looking for hookups. There are many such men, but there are lots of people looking for other stuff as well.
Thirded. People like to think that their match will be deep enough to look past something superficial like a bad photo, but that's not how most of us work. People see a decent photo and then check the rest.
