Called social security like 5 times already and every time it's my turn in the queue, they seem to wiggle the handset so it hangs up on me. What the fuck dude.

It's a crime to say you want to commit arson against data centers. So let's commit arson against data centers.

Show this to the people of SoCal and watch their heads explode. We're taking back the LA acronym.

Cue this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysbR...

Frosty Fur Fest is now LouisiAnthro! LA. So take a fucking hike Los Angeles, we're LA in LA. Two LAs. Fuck you California. Lalalalala can't hear you

Now from what I understand, people using AAVE deliberately to "sound cool" is the main concern, people doing this use a lot of slang incorrectly and on purpose. I don't intentionally talk the way I do. I'm just very southern and I grew up around numourous elements.

*raises hand as another southerner who's had this said to me* 😭

Sand blackberry (Rubus cuneifolius) or any other aggressive blackberry or dewberry as a control of cogon grass? It appears to be severely choking out cogon in areas while still allowing natives to grow fine. #HabitatRestoration #InvasiveSpecies #NativeSpecies #WarOnCogon #Zone9A #Mississippi

And none that are creative commons by attribution or by attribution share alike licensed. Otherwise I'd be very easily inspired to rewrite the Wikipedia article on the species.

Right now, there are only 24 iNaturalist observations of this stunning purple plant (subspecies Pulsatilla halleri rhodopaea)!

List makers who make lists over obviously non problematic things have no life. Literally I've had sore asses put me on lists because I blocked them first. 🤷‍♀️ Imagine being that salty lol

I've been accused of deliberately "talking black" and again. I don't intentionally use slang that's AAVE, I just literally grew up in the deep south and also had more POC friends than white friends. 🤷‍♀️ I mean people are going to say or repeat what they're around. That's human nature.

The Midwest claims bowling. I've seen more hockey fans in New England. The Midwest has more bowling centers than anywhere else.

And then they accidentally hung up on me as they were trying to unseat the phone. Lmfao

It's hard to describe and I honestly don't intentionally talk the way I do. It's just natural because of what I grew up around. And my southern for sure comes out when I'm excited or pissed off 😂

My accent and style of talking is just very mixed. Being ASD, I also learned or acclimated from how people around me talked. I've lived in southern GA my entire life. I was living in and out of the slums or ghetto, to out in the middle of nowhere. So I guess it's a mix of deep south and street? 😅

It’s always phishing attacks because that’s by FAR the easiest attack vector. People are stuuuuuuupid when it comes to phishing.

I signed a lease not 30 minutes ago and am being asked to join bowling teams. 🎳 So aggressively Midwest.

Social security office hold music: WELCOME......YOUR CALL WILL BE ANSWERED SHORTLY on repeat.

It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.

So @mady.cat's in-depth analysis from just after the 2024 presidential election remains evergreen. The Democratic party ditching trans people isn't just incredibly evil, it's electoral suicide as well:

"i support gender equality in everything but salary"

The Pokémon Company and Pocketpair filing this joint lawsuit

This feels like when a YouTuber does a challenge to get banned in a game as fast as possible, but it's a game developer trying to get sued

Pokemon-inspired??? There's a straight up Pikachu in that trailer!! I guess the whole lawsuit thing wasn't bad enough to scare other people from doing the same thing that Palworld did?

Oh hell nah! I've already despised Palworld specifically for this exact reason alone. But this monstrosity!? This is straight up more blatant infringing in such a degree. Not just with Pokemon, but Botw, and Overwatch as well! And just when Overwatch became good again too. Get creative! Its not hard

I propose the new genre ‘sloplike’ for this and any other game based on palworld

Pokemon and Palworld-inspired Pickmon announced for Nintendo Switch https://nintendoeverything.com/pokemon-and-palworld-inspired-pickmon-announced-for-nintendo-switch/

holy shit are they BOLD LMAO

wow cool! another free game that i will never even install!

Collected youpon from the food forest today. I have blank tea bags I ordered. Making little give aways for grand opening of the new garden market in town. #TheOutpost 🌱🌿👨‍🌾🍵

Also ffs let people get entry level work without having already been employed and bachelor'd for five years. There's so much shit that it shouldn't be hard to hop into with a bit of training, but nobody trains anymore. I already know how to solder, etch, polish, and cut jewelry, but I can't get in.

Hey maybe while we're at it we can find some way of modifying the hiring process so that socially-awkward but eminently-capable people don't keep washing out of opportunities they'd otherwise excel in just because an HR guy isolated from the department they're hiring for didn't like your tone.

So no, not a scawwy "planned economy" type thing, just a more involved aptitude and assessment process so that people can work good jobs to pay for comfortable living, and that the government can take a cut from to help the next generation, and the whole durn cycle perpetuates itself

But if not, then guidance counselors should be a much more important job in the education system, and education needs to be funded better across the board anyways. Somebody who not only tracks the student's academic progress, but which subjects they excel in and that interest them.

Or, I mean, y'know, you could just give people enough money to live in dignity without making them do Stupid Human Tricks for it like a goddamn dog with a chicken nugget, but that's apparently still too radical for a lot of people.

My most communist opinion is if the government wants you working so badly, it should get off its ass and use the resources available to it to find citizens in gainful long-term employment that either spiritually enriches them itself or else leaves them enough time and resources to seek it elsewhere.

The Valley of Lost Coverage. Here, withered souls shuffle to and fro, never stopping because they can't afford to, and slowly dying with every step, because they can't keep it up forever. They're all too wealthy to qualify for benefits, and yet still too poor to survive without them.

In order for either of us to qualify for disability assistance, I would have to lose my current job, as I make not only enough to hit the bottom disability threshold, but the cutoff at the TOP, as well.

>No-one is entitled to a job doing X forever True enough, at least in regards to the evolution of technology, but at the same time, I think if one is obligated to work in order to live, one SHOULD have some guarantee of basic employment. I say as my wife's been out of work for over a year.

Discord seems like a reliable service that I can trust with my personal information!!

discord is a service that never has any issues at all

hey guys what if we put all our downloads for things onto discord this sounds like a great idea

Trans rights, much like gay rights, will be universal or they will be bullshit.

I love that he's groomed himself for decades for a presidential run, and dropped the bag so hard 'miscalculating' what would be the right consultancy-approved take on the issue. I hope it tears him apart on the inside with how much he wanted this because he's not getting it.

Good. I hope he's the most unpopular democratic candidate ever so we end up picking someone else in the eventual primaries.

But then you look into what their values actually are and they're fucking Kimberly Guilfoyle.

It's my "never ever trust heavy blue state democrats" rule. All the spineless careerists who believe in nothing have a D after their name in those states and sometimes do nominally progressive things, because they have to.
