Signtist,

Most of the people I know who plan to vote for him think of that as a good thing. It’s the whole “drain the swamp” thing that he’s been rallying people behind for years; they think bad actors in the government are trying to hold Trump down, and him being in jail is just another attempt to do that - from their perspective, electing him even while he’s imprisoned would be a big “fuck you” to those bad actors.

It’s sad that they can’t see that Trump himself is the bad actor, but to most of them, Trump is their last hope to hold on to their beloved world of racism and misogyny, free of any “woke bullshit.” They’ll overlook anything he says or does at this point, since they don’t see any other way forward than through Trump.

Yeah, I had cat’s growing up, and I just thought it was normal not to be able to breathe through your nose for long periods of time. By the time I moved out I wasn’t allergic anymore.

Signtist,

I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I’ve absolutely loved it. I’ve tried learning Japanese many times in my life, but this if the first time where I feel like I’m really beginning to understand it. I’m using the pro version, though, so maybe it’s less annoying than the free version.

Signtist,

That depends heavily on who she is, and what your relationship looks like; a lighthearted response might work best for one person, while launching into a serious discussion about body image might be best for another.

My go-to response when my wife says something bad about her body is to just respond with “You’re beautiful.” and leave it at that. Sometimes I throw in a “Hey, don’t talk about my wife like that!” for good measure.

Signtist,

The stripper’s name? Albert Einstein.

Signtist,

I had this exact thought back in high school, and for some reason I still remember it every so often and just sit there, thankful I can breathe so well in that moment.

Signtist,

Eh, owning land is the closest thing a regular person can have to a real investment. I bought a shitty house back in 2019 and sold it recently without having made any improvements to it at all, yet it sold for enough money to offset all of the mortgage payments I’d made since purchasing it. Sure, all it did was make me break even on housing, rather than actually profiting from it, but that’s a hell of a lot better than 4 years of $1,000+ rent payments a month down the drain. I’d likely have made a decent profit if I’d done anything to fix it up.

I used the money from the sale to buy an actually decent house in a better neighborhood that I’d never have been able to afford back in 2019, even though my financial situation has stayed pretty much the same. And this house will likely sell for an actual profit in a few years if I decide to move again, while being a great place to live in the meantime to boot.

Signtist,

Yeah, if you’re in the passing lane, and aren’t passing anyone, I’m pissed. I don’t care if you’re going 10 under or 50 over, the passing lane is exclusively for passing.

Signtist,

What? That’s just a normal bath/shower setup. The spout is for running a bath, with a pin on top to divert it to the shower head for showering, the lever works to control hot/cold water for the shower/bath, and the circle at the bottom covers a hole that drains excess water during a bath to prevent overflowing. Do people not have baths anymore?

Signtist,

Unless I know I need a lot of stuff from Costco, I never grab a cart. It forces me to make significantly fewer impulse purchases.

Signtist,

I’ve bought too many useless things that I never got around to returning to rely on my willingness to make a second trip for returns, haha!

Signtist,

He was forced out of his swamp, and discovered that the world had so much more for him to enjoy. He still goes back to his swamp at the end of the day, but with the understanding that he can leave and find other joys whenever he wants, which he does in subsequent movies. Fiona is the main reason he changed so much, yes, but he fell in love before knowing she was also an ogre. Even if she had been human, the story would be the same.

It’s basically the same as a guy living in a trashed apartment being forced by concerned friends to spend some time outside, and learning to live a more well-rounded life, while finding a partner with whom to share his type of lifestyle in the process.

Signtist,

I’ve said this before, so check my post history for the full story, but I personally went from a guy who basically lived in a trashed apartment to someone put-together enough to attract the girl who eventually became my wife. All you need is the strength to say “fuck it” and try to better yourself in spite of your complete lack of faith that it will change anything. You’ve gotta get out of your swamp to find your Fiona. As for friends and a job, I’ve found that being more put-together helps with those endeavors as well.

Signtist,

It’s pretty dope, especially when you get to work from home. I’m usually in my pajamas snuggled under a blanket. Much comfier than dress pants in a cubicle.

Signtist,

I waste just as much time on my phone at work that I do at home, but at home I’m able to freely seek out a distraction when I need a break, and devote my attention to it until I’ve got some motivation again, then get back to work. In the office I have to try taking a break covertly when I need one, which doesn’t lower my stress very much, and leads to me taking even longer breaks trying to regain my motivation.

As for separating work and free time, I have no issue stepping away at the end of my shift; I only work for money - I don’t give a shit about the company itself - so, as soon as I’m no longer counting the time toward my paycheck, any and all motivation to continue working immediately evaporates.

A lot of people seem to really need social interaction, which definitely seems to be the biggest reason they might not enjoy long-term work from home. I seem to be the exception to that. During the height of the pandemic even my most extroverted friends eventually started craving social interactions, but I would stock up at Costco and go literal months without ever once leaving my house, and I loved it.

Signtist,

I always put my keys on anything I need to remember, since they’re the last thing I grab before I head out, and I can’t lock the door or start the car without them. If it’s more of a concept, I write it on a post-it, then put the keys on that.

Signtist,

a caserol

Gotta call it a hot dish, or people will look at you weird.

Signtist,

Yeah, it’s hardly good news that we’re back to the level of deforestation we had in 2018; it was way too high in 2018, too. We’re acting like slowing down our destruction of the world is equivalent to actually helping. If I’m on a runaway train heading straight for a broken bridge, I’m not going to celebrate that it only picked up a little speed in the past few seconds.

Signtist,

That movie fucked me up so bad as a kid that I literally recoiled from this picture.
