Shout out to the people who expose their shitty family members. There was a woman on TikTok who was grifting for years about how the court system and her ex-husband "stole" her children and then her sister made an account and was just like "nope, she abused the kids, custody loss was deserved."

It really sucks to learn that a person who was genuinely kind to you and your family may have done something shitty. 0/100. Do not recommend.

If BlueSky is gonna use crappy AI-generated alt text on gifs while simultaneously lecturing me on the importance of using alt text the least they could do is let me permanently modify the alt text the way I want it on certain gifs so I don't have to retype it Every. Fucking. Time.

I am the descendant of a ton of people who said "farming sucks, actually, I would rather be doing literally anything else"
People seem to forget that the reason the industrial revolution worked is that, however bad factories were, it was way way way better than subsistence farming

When I was a kid my brother broke his leg bad enough to need surgery and spent the night in a hospital. His roommate was a kid from a British family on vacation and the dad was from Northumberland. I swear to God I couldn't understand a word. My dad grew up in the UK and could barely get any of it.
I tried watching the British shameless and even with subtitles I was lost. in real life the worst accent for me is southie Boston. I have no idea what they're saying

The you who is comfortable in their skin and in the space is going to be way more fun to hang out and you'll make actual connections with people.
Before you feel comfortable, just be polite and listen to folks and get a grip on things.

If you're already feeling nervous in a situation, you're probably not going to be your best self.
But you go two or three times, and you understand the space, you'll feel more comfortable in it. And all of a sudden you're actually you and not who you think people want to meet.

As someone who has had to make several friends a couple times as an adult, gotta say, clubs or similar weekly structured events are where it's at.
Here's a tip though: the first few times you go aren't about making friends, they're about becoming comfortable in that space and learning the vibe.

People on the internet get mad when they say they're lonely and the suggestions they get back are to join a club. But yeah, man. The cure for loneliness is to spend time with other people. That's gonna feel awkward at first but there's no other magic solution. Not sure what you're looking for, here.

this is again me advocating for finding a community music group if that sounds like something you'd be interested in, joining my community symphonic band has been such a net positive for me

One time at JRTC our battalion S3 marched into our TOC yelling and holding a M4 that he'd found in a bathroom and demanding that the soldier be present in headquarters within the hour and it had to all get quietly walked back because it was the B Company Commander's rifle.
Fuck a morning coffee, this picture is enough to jolt me awake

He doesn't know that a Canadian hockey team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1993.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

When I was in the Army at Fort Cambell we had a platoon sergeant from the Bronx and a private from rural Virginia who also had a speech impediment and those two guys literally needed a translator to talk to each other in English.
Yeah I kinda assume it's like how Scottish people get mad when Americans turn on subtitles for media where the actors have heavy Scottish accents.

I get the appeal of this but I do wonder if part of the reason birth rates are so low in some of these cities (to the point that their governments are worried about it and looking for ways to increase the birth rate) is that it's exponentially harder to get around with young kids without a car.
I’m in Bordeaux right now. A city of 1M with trams, busses, bikes and ebikes, and hardly *any* cars. It is just bliss.
Far too many U.S. drivers are simply unable to conceive of a world without widespread traffic deaths. They think it's impossible, and so much discourse reflects that. People just shoot down left and right ideas that have been proven to work in other places.

have the Olympics added just a regular audience member to each competition, just to create a difficulty baseline for the I-can-fight-a-bear crowd?

I have a pre-teen who is neurodivergent and takes things *very* literally. They started being interested in God and church this year and it drove me to finally start going back to a church regularly because I'm terrified of what kind of Turning Point crap they'll fall into online if left alone.
If you want a sober place to find community, finding a church that shares your social values isn't a bad option.
If the god thing is truly a deal breaker, look for a Unitarian church, they won't care.

I feel really weird about the idea that people profess on here that "talent is not real". The idea behind it is that hard work and practice is more important than talent. And hard work and practice are important! Raw talent will only take you so far without them. But talent is also absolutely real.

My husband has been wearing his hat that I made him to outreach clinics and it's been a good conversation starter for him. People tend to assume a middle aged, white, male, bearded, veteran's politics lean a certain way (for understandable reasons) and it's been helpful for him to have a signifier.
Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good
