I think I’m gonna start a bingo card for all the usual conservative buzzwords.

Maybe give one to my parents and tell them the more words they find in their news, especially if my mother (educated, and qualified to teach grade school) thinks the usage and/or grammar are odd, they should assume whoever is writing it is trying to trick them into blindly following like good little sheep.

I’d love to!

Now if anyone wants to donate to my Moving Fund…

I live in rural Ohio and actually live fairly close to a decent sized solar farm.

Over the last 2-3 years I’ve seen more household solar setups, and one person I’m super jealous of has a really nice wind turbine/solar hybrid system with a garage battery wall visible when they leave their garage door open.

We’re very slowly getting there, but it’s like running a race with a weight around your ankle and people swinging at you with bats.

And STILL I hear dumb shits in the US say “solar isn’t feasible”

Motherfuckers then why does literally every other country have tons of solar plants, rooftop installations, balcony installations and some packed away they can pull out when the power cuts out? Why do major companies put massive solar farms next to their new factories? Why are people interested in fossil fuels spending so much goddamn money telling people solar sucks? If it sucked, people wouldn’t use it.

That hat is very cunning, I think.

Person walks down the street wearing that, people know they’re not afraid of anything.

It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong, you know?

“oh a new form of power generation? Sweet! looks inside it’s making steam to spin a turbine…”

I think my wife has shown me a video of him?

I hate to make assumptions but honestly how many quadruple amputees can manipulate and shoot a gun and have made videos…

I’m sure it’s more than one because people sure do get curious as to how… But still.

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

Same. I found a funnel that fits perfectly in a plastic cup keep a couple rags in, and the cup is tied to my small can.

Got tired of spilling gas on my fingers.

I might need to make myself a little pump, since I already have everything I need and a 3d printer…

Bruh you can tell us you have superpowers all you want, we have science telling us otherwise.

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

Different state?

He’ll have to look maybe two counties over. Probably just gonna go to the county on the other side of the one he lives in.

Okay look, I have a large piece of old leather I’ve been meaning to make into pieces for my Renfaire outfit, I have dozens of pieces of steel that are waiting to become knives and other tools, there’s 20-something 3d projects in various states of unfinished on my laptop, and I’ve got 3 large woodworking projects on hold.

Of course I can start hyperfixating on a new project!

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn’t vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, pointing* out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to marry a leftist. She didn’t even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I’ll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

My grandfather passed a few years ago, and now that the house is up for sale we cleaned the last bits out.

I managed to grab a bunch of stuff that maybe Someday™ I’ll use. Mostly bits of metal I’ll possibly melt down or use for electroplating, a bunch of old steel tools that are in different states of disrepair, and assorted lengths of wire.

I know I will likely die before I find use for it all, but it seems wasteful to chuck it in the garbage, and I’d rather someone find use for it as is than take it to the scrapyard.

things that you can just take when no one is looking.

That applies to a great many things, and places!

Unfortunately, plenty of other countries would take him in, but it would be nice if no country would let his ass in.

Like someone else said, it’s not their mess to handle. However, I personally don’t want other countries to deal with him in any way. We just kick him out and he can figure out what to do from there.

I have forgotten about a concert after paying for the tickets, I have forgotten about super important plans and didn’t even send a text to the person I had them with until about 6 hours later (in fairness I never even got a text or call from them in that time, just a “where were you, I waited” when I called to apologize) and I have forgotten my entire wallet at a restaurant. Sat it down while waiting for my card back and put the card in my pocket and left the wallet on the table.

I have also unironically said this.
