Announcing the continued mascot of the responses to the incoming administration:

Congratulations, surprised Pikachu! 🎉

Special commendation for the runner up, Face-eating Leopard. 🏆

Woah, woah, hold up a minute. Since when are we expected to take personal responsibility? I intend to blame you when I cut off my nose to spite my face. You can't change the rules now!

Marge be not proud

..but she's going to get over it once she gets the fixed picture from Bart.

She looks excellent with her pink highlights. What a cutie!

Good guy Lost_My_Mind over here, taking on debt. Sure, take my negative money!

I remember that the one(s) I liked the best were always dried out because some other kid forgot to put the cap all the way on. My paw print is barely visible thanks to you, Bobby!

I make a point of (very obviously) laughing hysterically at any cybertruck I pass. Since the only reason to buy one is an ego-stroke of the tiniest genitals on the planet, ridicule is the only thing I can think of to affect them.

It makes me feel better, at least. I hope others start doing the same.

Oooh, my partner is working on his resume; I'm going to share this with him. Thanks!

You can't argue facts with the party of feelings. They claim to be strong but they're so terrified of losing their positions of power (socially, politically, etc.) that they have no choice but to deny the truth. They've turned the truth political. (The recent pathetic (predominantly social media) responses to the 60 minutes opening about his cabinet picks is an excellent example of this.)

Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

I just don't understand people. My partner's brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I'm hoping we don't have to rely on him for anything but I'm also weirdly grateful that he's my partner's brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

"Papers, please."

I've told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that's where we are, now. I'm hoping it will be enough.

The most unbelievable part of this is the magat having a crisis after learning (somehow, always for the first time) about Trump's Hitler-worship. Since it hasn't directly affected the magat yet, no way he's going to have the self awareness to freak out.

Hi all,

I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

Thanks in advance! :)

 

What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

 

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
