Wow, can't wait until we hear about this record being broken 5 more times in the next 10 years!

As a society, we ain't very good at the whole "delayed consequences" thing. The bad thing isn't happening (to me specifically) right now: therefore, I do not need to think about the bad thing/the bad thing is not real.

The Four Horseblemishes of the Apocalypse:

Stye, Canker Sore, Corner-of-nose Zit, and Facial Mosquito Bite

I realize it's not necessarily a good thing that it's 80 degrees in NJ on the last day of October, but it's amazing what this kind of weather does to my mood

Do people just not decorate for Halloween anymore, or is it just my particular suburban hellscape? Walking my dog tonight I noticed like 90% of houses don't have any decorations at all, and of the rest maybe 3/4 of them are like one single pumpkin or inflatable. I know there are plenty of kids living here, I see them all the time.

In the 90s, you were in the slim minority if you didn't have any decorations. Kind of bummed because we probably won't get any trick or treaters because of this.

I was going to say, at least from my experience with Manhattan, everybody is jaywalking and nobody even thinks about it. I guess the cops like to give minorities a hard time in the other boroughs.

Let me break out the world's tiniest violin after paying $12 for the world's most disappointing cheeseburger (and having to ask for ketchup and napkins).

I reduced my fast food consumption by like 95% right around the beginning of the pandemic and I regret nothing. Not wasting 20 minutes of my life in a drive through line for a meal that isn't good, cheap, or healthy. It takes 3 minutes to boil ramen at home and that checks two of those boxes.

Solidarity with my fellow North Jersey comrades who will likely be dealing with turbo-Zionist Gottheimer for several decades.

The situation is bleak, I'd be shocked if more than 5% of voters here give a second thought to senate and congressional candidates besides the letter next to their name on the ballot. People here are rabid about the presidential, gubernatorial, and sometimes local elections, but rarely more than that. Joshy boy will be with us for a very long time unless he gets caught diddling kids or something of similar magnitude (or hit by a bus )

Good point, looks like no essential oils are safe for cats. Mine will certainly not ingest it (or even come near it), but safer alternatives would be better. Can probably accomplish the same thing with some dried lemons or lemon zest.

It's 2024 and we got irl Sex Panther before global communism, smh

Sounds like one of my cats, he will chew on literally anything.

The one thing I've found that works with all of my cats and my dog is lemon oil - they can't stand the stuff. I make a spray out of 70% rubbing alcohol and lemon oil (like 95:5 by volume) and spritz it around the tree every few days, they won't even come close.
