blanketswithsmallpox,

The joys of having children eventually. Leftovers are just meal prep for lunch the next day!

Establishing a leftovers night is the way to go though.

blanketswithsmallpox,

USA? The Midwest. Mountain states. There’s a reason wfh folks are making bank out there. You can slowly turn those areas blue too with migration.

Lemmings: In reality it’s class warfare. It’s the ultra rich vs everyone else.

Also lemmings: Fuck Landlords, fuck the brainwashed Republicans, fuck police, fuck liberals, quit trying to take my parks away, fuck the homeless, I should be able to live anywhere I want, you can’t own property!

blanketswithsmallpox,

That’s it. That’s the lore. That’s how much people like to hype up kirby lore despite it being a big ol nothingburger. That’s why he’s just so upset about all that hype and then… the big reveal. Kirby eat things.

The sexually abused are NOT more likely to abuse others. They are no more likely to abuse than anyone randomly plucked from the population. A sexual abuser likely having been sexually abused in the past does not mean the same thing.

You ARE more like to physically abuse others if you grew up with regular physical abuse as your normal though. Even then, it’s only statistically significant with men and the poor when you dig into thr data.

People abused as children are more likely to be abused as adults.

2024 will be my year just like every year prior to it has been lol. Just it like it has been for the vast majority of humanity and will continue to be.

Rent is robbery… But your landlord is poorer than you? What?

People with diverse skills or able to remote work, move to the Midwest and rural mountain states. Swing them blue and get all the mcmansions you want.

White chocolate chip macadamia nut.

Also Grandma’s a wolf. Still somehow managed to make cookies for the grandkids.

blanketswithsmallpox,

… Are they really that much better on the grill? You’re legitimately making me rethink this.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Sorry I was too busy owning noobs with my Kamehamehas to respond right away. Yeah I’ll go with you! It’s a date.

I saw a social media post that sounds true so it must be… I did something good for myself! Now lets keep ego/doomscrolling social media.

I could find none of it via google except maybe the clenched jaw. The vast majority of which are from sketchy health clinics pushing dumb shit to fleece rich people from their money.

www.medicalnewstoday.com/…/jaw-tension-anxiety

So no, scientifically, it doesn’t.

Put your tongue wherever you want, keep your posture moving and in a comfortable position, and if you clench your jaw so hard you grind your teeth, then you have Bruxism, which is something entirely different you slack (relaxed!) jawed sheep lol.

Want better stress relief? Quit doing coke. Quit drinking alcohol. Exercise. Eat better. And most of all, get sleep. If you can’t do any of those on your own, go to a doctor and get help for it.

Why am I Anxious?

blanketswithsmallpox,

Secret of Mana started it all for me.

I’ll accept inexplicably tall towers too. Dark Tower. Tales of Symphonia… Grandias… Mmmmm.

Lemmings continue to vastly underestimate who landlords are.

In fact, fewer than one-fifth of rental properties are owned by for-profit businesses of any kind. Most rental properties – about seven-in-ten – are owned by individuals, who typically own just one or two properties, according to 2018 census data. And landlords have complained about being unable to meet their obligations, such as mortgage payments, property taxes and repair bills, because of a falloff in rent payments.

Individual investors owned nearly 14.3 million of those properties (71.6%), comprising almost 19.9 million units (41.2%). For-profit businesses of various sorts owned 3.7 million properties, or 18.8%, but their holdings totaled 21.7 million units, or 45% of the total. Entities such as housing cooperative organizations and nonprofits owned smaller shares of the total.

only about half of individual landlords reported net income in 2018, with the rest losing money on their properties. Such losses can, under certain conditions, be used to offset other taxable income.

blanketswithsmallpox,

I don’t want anyone to lose access to housing (or food, or healthcare), but I’m much more worried about renters ending up unhoused than landlords.As it stated, most are charging reasonable prices at or below market price. Meaning they are one tiny dam blocking hundreds of thousands of people who can’t afford to live in that city from being homeless. It’s one of the biggest takeaways when you read the article.

Most landlords, the large majority, are essentially people who decided to put their savings into equity rather than tossing their money into a big giant pile for the rich to make themselves richer, aka, the stock market. Sometimes you toss it somewhere and just lose it.

Their price to pay for that equity are taxes and upkeep. Their payoff is selling it when they retire or giving it to their children or grandchildren. I don’t think I’ve ever rented from any suburban or rural landlord that wasn’t in one of these two positions.

These people aren’t megacorporations buying up land from potential homeowners. They’re people in their 60s and 70s now realizing that their investment more often than not was a poor one. They subsidize their tenants allowing them to live in cities and areas they normally wouldn’t. And when they die, the homes are going to children to either sell for a quick buck to fund their own kids college or moving into them when they’re house is now too big since the kids just moved.

As always, the gamut of possibilities is way too wide for such anti-human extremist propaganda that gets pushed then eaten up by people who should know better.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Oh God I thought Living the Dream was only super popular in my workplace with the boomers.

It just goes through phases too. One month it’s all you hear. You think it goes away then two months later…

Be the Grinch. Get ostracized by looking different. Slowly get shunned from your community and froze out. Be ignored. Everyone hates you for no reason.

They rub it in your face by being as loud and noisy as possible. You tried to get away but they still flaunt it in your face. Only your best doggo understands and loves you still.

You go down and try to stop it and take their shit. Next day, they’re still singing their fucking songs. You give them their shit back and NOW they like you.

Lesson: Nobody will like you until it looks like you did something good. Even if it was just a problem you made and you fixed but nothing actually changes.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Is this supposed to be big? Do American cities not have festivals, concerts, parks, squares, new years parties… Or is this just low hanging circlejerk bait lol? 🤔

blanketswithsmallpox,

Autistic or asshole…

Him: Either way. Fuck. Yo. Couch.

blanketswithsmallpox,

Aren’t certain instances on Lemmy downvote disabled? I swear I’ve been on certain magazines on Kbin or the Fediverse where it’s disabled by default.

blanketswithsmallpox,

White line to all the colors of the rainbow? White Floyd was woke ahead of its time.
