We have the potential to love like the sun does—a golden cup over flowing without expectation of return.

Trying to do that.

Dog. Why you gotta do me like that?

I’m just sitting here eating my lunch I had to make an account to order pickup and you’re putting the gun of shame flat against my temple and pulling the trigger.

I saw that. It is not elitism to be annoyed about having your own proven expertise thrown back at you

Esp when it’s so easy to look up

This is a perfect example of her point. You can, with no effort at all, go find a “gee what a nice car” Camaro for under $5,000 on your first google search

An actual dedicated search to buy a car cheap will always produce way better results than Carfax/similar. People want to be judgey to be judgey

There is a fantastic Ultramarines theoretical - practical joke to be made about the Nuzzi bullet theoretical - possible, but I am not clever enough to come up with it and it’s killing me.

Constant Contact (a newsletter service) finally added Bluesky to the social media options!

We've made it.

My partner and I are all in on “console” PC gaming. Depending on the specs this might even be an upgrade for her PC.

She will not let me replace her old plasma screen (in fairness the blacks & colors are still amazing) so it’s not needed much upgrading to pump 720p max settings in anything.

Ya’ll are over complicating this.

Just put your gaming PCs directly into the TV stand. No need for long cable runs.

(Forgive the we-just-moved-and-the-movers-broke-our-usual-dual-screen-stand jankiness. You can do it without that jank.)

Ooo available as an audiobook!

Frankly this just keeps getting better.

The exact context of Jay’s post was saying harassers and outrage farmers keep harassing and outrage farming even though it causes negative consequences for civil discourse and society.

Kirk, famously, did the *exact* behavior Jay was critiquing and, saliently, suffered negative consequences for it.

which is why I corrected it twice, both times trying to make it clearer I wasn’t contesting the ruling but the process.

Here is how it’d look with the corrections.

In your opinion, is this still gaslighting?

I didn’t leave her wording out or hide it! You literally quoted my post in which it quotes their official comment containing the entirety of her wording.

If I was at all denying it I wouldn’t include her exact wording.

It kinda feels like you’re relying on people not to see that to accuse me.

Sure, in pretty much all cases aside from the case where it’s explicitly a song lyric by the subject of the directly linked article in which the author discusses the subject’s song lyrics.

Said anywhere else, probably. But this really is the one that’s facially obviously not a threat.

Also, lol:

The official position of the United States Government is that drug cartels DO NOT exist for the purpose of profiting from drugs.

I am generally a big believer in “pay someone who already has the skill to do it right.” This is a direct consequence of my “fair wages for fair labor” beliefs.

I am /THIS/ close to spending all my money to have someone else do everything needed to get decent cable management for all this.

Bro put on his "i'm a real man" affirming jeans, arranged for a full camera crew to go with him, and threw away the last worldly possessions of homeless people with a grin.

This is the opposite of "wanting to give people HOMES."

It’s pouring rain, but I’m still proud to be at the single most attended women’s sports event in North Carolina history, @nccourage.com’s home finale for 2025.

If you live in a city with a NWSL team and don’t go to their games, I gotta ask, why do you hate women?

Everyone watches women’s sports.
