Target sells them now! Mine have tags on the parts that go either by your foot or head board that say that’s where they go. They also have extra pleating at the corners so that they stay tucked deep under the mattress. Iove them! Oh, and elastic around the entire thing so they tuck under the entire mattress.

Where in the world are you able to have your mom “sign you up” to be a dispatcher?! To work for our dispatch, you have to apply, have a rigorous background check and a panel-type interview. And then they last less than 3 months because they make all their dispatchers switch from day to night shift and vice versa every two weeks.

We may not see many repercussions from this now, but when the unvaccinated grow up and the viruses have had a generation’s worth of time to spread - just wait till a pregnant woman gets mumps and has a profoundly deaf baby. Or their toddler gets polio and ends up spending potentially years in a hospital, only to be released with lifetime disabilities. I know 2 people with polio, and one who is deaf due their mother having mumps (pre-vaccine days). Their lives, and the lives of their families, was/is hard. I wonder what grandma and grampa, safely vaccinated, will say when their grandkids start falling ill.

I hate how these things are such deathtraps.

I live near a military base, and the base runs a lot of nighttime training over the forest my house is in. It is not unusual for Osprey to literally hover over my house. They get so close that the whole house shakes, and the sound from them is so loud it covers up a normal-volumed conversation. It doesn’t bother us, but every time it happens I think of all the crashes 😬

We can also hear the base when it has bombing practice! Sitting on our deck and hearing bombs going off is a surreal experience. I can’t imagine what it’s like to hear those in an actual war situation.

Why even bother? It’s not like anything is ever done about the non-anonymous threats we currently see. Ffs.

I got one the other day that had the third column of images completely cut off on mobile. Didn’t matter what browser I tried. I had to wait until I could get to a desktop to try and access the site.

I had this once, it was awesome! And then my next flight was the worst one I’ve ever had. So prepare yourself just in case life is currently snickering behind its hand at you because it plans to fuck your shit up next go-around :(

They did this to me decades ago and I ended up having to get a new card so the old one would no longer work. I haven’t used paypal since. Fuck them.

Not on Home edition

You can do it on home. Takes a lot of googling and monkeying around, but I did it on my father’s computer years ago.

most republican voters don’t even know what tf they’re supporting through their votes, other than their personal trigger issue. they just vote for the R.

You are so depressingly right. My father is very pro-choice, but once Trump happened, he stopped giving a shit about anything other than getting Trump back in office and/or making sure no Democrats are elected ever again. He has no idea what is actually going on other than what fox and Newsmax tell him, and he doesn’t care.

He’s the only family I have, and to see him like this now has just destroyed a part of me.

Bath salts appear to turn you into Sloth from The Goonies.

I can’t see squat, there’s a hurricane outside.

She is a product of her environment. She is also nearly 50.

Ohhh. This is the dude who performs the song my coworker was all but having orgasms over yesterday and was trying to make me listen to - “the lyrics are amazing, just listen to them!” She already thinks she’s magnetic from a hepatitis vaccine, and this morning informed me that the moon landing was a hoax, so I think I made the right call in utterly ignoring her and her stupid song.

My diehard republican father was all-in on Vivek based solely on my uncle telling him how “smart and forward thinking” he was. After the debate, my father said, “that Indian guy is one slimey, weasely asshole. He’s nuts.” So even some trumper-level folks can see what he really is.

I think you’re right. It certainly seems pretty, but it still looks like every other generic 'motley group of ridiculously attractive misfits save ____" that Netflix and its ilk churn out.

I have lots of stomach issues and can’t eat a lot of foods, which means I mostly eat the same few things over and over. One of the few things I can have reading out is a particular local restaurant’s chicken strips, and I’d get them for lunch a couple times a month. They’ve raised their prices twice in the last 6 months, and what used to be 6-8 strips for$6 is now 5 chicken strips - just the chicken, no fries or other sides - for $10. If I’m feeling masochistic, I’ll get myself and my father each one of their chef salads. Two of those are now $27. They are a very, very popular place and usually crazy busy, but since that last hike I’ve noticed the parking lot at lunchtime is often half empty. This is not a wealthy area, people can’t afford these prices. They are going to greed themselves right out of business.

They’ve also lost every single long-time employee they had. And when I say long, I mean 15, 20 years working there. I watched most of them grow up, get married and have families. Every. Single. One. is gone, and I’ve seen most of them at other restaurants now. Their staff is now different every time I go in there, and service sucks and orders are frequently wrong. My work stopped ordering food from there for meetings because of it. Greed, greed, greed, with a healthy dose of apparent staff mistreatment. Story of the world at large nowadays.

How the author of that article threw Aspergers in with schizophrenia and dementia as a possible cause for his decline into acid-tripping cats, I don’t even know. Aspergers is apparently very different from what I thought it was.

He’s a good bit older than that and has cancer, and is not able to sit at a computer long enough to learn a new operating system even if he wanted to. Which he really, really doesn’t lol. He hates the thing with the fire of a thousand burning suns and only used it for his necessaries.

I’m also not familiar with any other operating system besides windows, outside of a brief foray into pi-hole years ago that I don’t remember much about, so I’d have to learn it first. While I’d love to start playing around with Linux some day, unfortunately that day isn’t going to be any time soon.

Co-worker at an old job had 2 pugs. Their eyes kept popping out of their sockets. It got to the point where she didn’t even take them to the vet anymore when that happened, she just popped them back in herself. She saw nothing wrong with this. In fact, during the time I knew her, those two pugs were elderly and eventually died. She then went out and got another.

I mean… wtf. Why would you support that?
