Doesn't give the numbers you want but it's about the firing. Greatly upset a functioning system and you are responsible for the aftermath.

I don't do sports. (self.womenshockey)
 

I'm a 50 year old dude, never cared about sports. But my wife got into PWHL last year and I started watching with her.

It doesn't have the toxicity that I've seen in so many male dominated sports. We're Minnesotans, so of course we support Frost.

Late last season we were watching a game and while the game was tied, our (Minnesota, not yet called Frost) team wasn't making as many shots on goals as they usually did, and I said that.

"What's going on? Why is Minnesota lagging in shots on goal... WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, I'M MAKING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT SPORTS STATISTICS!!"

For me it was literally that my wife and I had a spare room and a trans person was in need. That simple. We'd always talked about offering it up if a situation arose, and then someone on here of all places brought a situation to my attention. (Check my post history if you like, I'm not a prolific poster.)

That was eight months ago. They're part of our lives now, and I'm trying to learn what I need to do to continue to fight for them. Here in the United fucking States.

I gotta say that anecdotally I've heard how awesome and accepting and loving the people living under totalitarian governments are except for Russian people.

So I honestly apologize, it's just been reinforced by my media consumption and lack of travel to learn and mingle.

It's amazing how clear it becomes when it's even slightly personal... unless you're a broken individual like Musk.

I was always supportive but now that I've got someone in my life who is in this fight, so the fuck am I!

I think you were right as that's my memory too. But a long time back, at least a decade, it changed.

Their website says there are two producers, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers.

Or we will pull through it, jettisoning the billionaire capitalist class and learning how to survive and thrive again.

Do I believe it? Fuck no. But it's not worth discarding the possibility. I've spent my life trying to be better. Others can too. And enough people trying to be better might be able to pull through.

Stressed as all hell. My job depends on the things Trump is currently trying to block. If that goes, I dunno how to pay the mortgage.

So I'm exhausted, haven't slept well in a week. Otherwise okay. I've got my family and my pets. Friends to play games with.

Precisely. Rule of law means nothing, the Supreme Court has no legitimacy, and the people in charge have no respect for our institutions.

Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle. If we manage to push back and reclaim our government, we'll have to rebuild it all anyway and make it stronger.

The billionaires think this chaos will serve them better. Let's demonstrate that was arrogant and naive.

Or ships it off to a country struggling to develop its economy so they can crash that country's textile industry.

It seems to me like massive luck that they DID have Loki season 2 to logically wrap up why Kang is no longer an issue.

I hadn't been expecting more Loki at the end of the season, it seemed to perfectly pivot to movies.

The English term has fallen out of favor - rapeseed oil. It's very closely related to canola oil.

Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it's intermittent, so much more infuriating.

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.

 

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
