Every branch of the United States Governemt should have term limits. "Serving the People for Profit" should be a thing by lack of provision. That is not in the spirit of the Constitution.

At work today I had an update customer. He was saying we placed his order before giving him options (those options come next), scrolling the website demanding a discount... suddenly he sees celeb co-founder and says oh... it's him, it's all fine. However he likes to do it. It's great. Say call me.

Don't ever decide you will dance through the intro to an anime. By the time you realize it's 12 minutes, you've already committed. A cautionary tale.

I heard someone say once a very long time ago when there were all awful options in a local election, "Please pick someone for write ins you'd trust to do the job even if it's your Mechanic bc your vote matters and you should be heard." I've written in my kids' teachers a bunch. They know childish. šŸ‘€

I was more taken aback by the enormous number of US citizens who didn't have a problem with the sheer bigotry displaced from Moment 1 of the Trump Years. People were cheering for that guy. It still leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth. I internally shudder every time I remember he's running now.

It's cold when you're the subject of a Dateline Episode, and your mom won't call you pretty. Andrea Canning: How pretty was she, in her dress, on her wedding day? Mom: She was... happy. That's important. (*Me, now, googling this lady to see for myself*)

JC just handed me his debit card and told me to prepay for 5$ in fuel for my truck. I said in this economy I feel like w $5. I should be saying, "I'd like one gas, please." Asked if he had any idea how much a gallon is... my man said "like 1.88$" & I LOLd now we are both crying a tank isn't 20$

I work from my home office. I left my break to go back to my office, and my husband said, "Be careful on your commute." Yes, the dreaded dangers of the hallway. I must be vigilant.

That makes me sad. Libraries are one of the few spaces left for EVERYONE. Your librarian never cared what you looked like or who you loved. They just loved that you loved books. They should be a protected species.

Seeing your pictures has woken my inner shutterbug again. Sadly, I think my phone may be better than DSLR, but I really do love the feeling of a camera in my hands. Thanks for sharing with us.

Experiencing SUBSCRIPTION fatigue. No one wants to sell their product anymore. They ALL want us to subscribe. Unless we are privileged to have unlimited income, there are only so many dollars in our income. We can't subscribe to everything. We just can't. It's overwhelming.

I got my S24 Ultra yesterday. I'm feeling a bit disappointed. It's beautiful and most extravagant phone I've ever owned, but I guess i expected it to get all my sh!t cool, calm, and collected by now. It's probably bc I haven't combined it w the Buds2Pro and Watch6 yet.

If you're seeking help, you'll take every necessary step. If you want attention, no amount of help will suffice.

I'm not a writer, per se, but I have a brilliant idea for a story. A middle-aged mom who listens to the police scanner and shows up at crime scenes to solve the crime with just dumb luck and mom skills. The cops are mad, but she brought everyone packed lunches so they don't say anything.

I'm not saying I just spoke a job offer into existence after MONTHS of searching but I just sat & believed for 30 secs I had more money than I knew what to do with & the literal next thing to happen was an email with a job offer. Shock and tears. Thanks Universe! I needed that right now!

The Rock joined the board and the first thing he did was take Mania away from the winner and give it to himself. How humble of him. That's some tiny penis energy if he's hurting for attention like that.

I'm taking a digital marketing/e-commerce course and they keep saying "to increase sales and drive profits". I keep asking but where are those profits going? employees by and large aren't seeing liveable wages and an abundance of brick-and-mortar stores could use some major attention.

TurboTax can see my W2 that I didn't get but can't import it bc they need me to verify Box D, by reading the paper I didn't get, to import it. So my employer AND the IRS BOTH have this info but they need me involved for reasons... this feels like a setup. I watched Entrapment. I know how this goes.

The complaints against Chibnall are totally unfounded if you watch Classic Who. The Dead Planet they make a point of mentioning 4 adults had packed food for a day and they'd be gone two hours. Ian just told Barbara Susan has been gone an hour & is almost to the ship. Ian meant he was not going. šŸ˜‚

In Texas now, a doctor who performs an abortion on a woman who doesn't want a child faces 99 years in prison. But a creep who slips abortion meds into his pregnant wife's drinks, causing their baby to be born with complications? That's six months. Tell me again how it's not about punishing women?

I've seen all but the last season of the blacklist and I dislike Elizabeth Keen more and more with every episode. That's hard bc I've disliked her since the first episode. Liz gets away w murder & tons of monstrous deeds just by looking serious & saying she deserved to know.
