My morning shower collects a looot of nasal discharge…
Princess Bride
Really the platonic ideal of a standalone adventure movie
I don’t really remember…
I have two Siamese Balinese cats and I never actually knew the practicalities of their coloring… I knew it was something about temperature but I wasn’t sure if that was a metaphorical “temperature” or actually talking about millimeters of mercury
In a choice between “saving them” and “saving no one but also losing a leg” I’d be hard pressed to make a choice!
You seem to quite fundamentally, or perhaps simply maliciously, misunderstand your sister? Or maybe I misunderstand you?
I’m missing something, mind filling in a couple a more dominos?

Have you thought of lipstick and nail polish?
Google is so useless these days. It’s very common that my searches get actually zero results now. Like, what the fuck happened? Google used to identify its quality by how many hundreds of pages of (admittedly mostly useless) results it could return for each search. Now, when I do get results, it’s about a 3 to 4 ratio of useless ads to actual content.
I have the Google rewards app that occasionally asks me questions about where I’ve been / what I’ve bought for which it will pay me a few nickels each. The other day it asked me questions about my use of ChatGPT and the relative trust I had for the answers given by the language model to my trust of the results from a Google search. The last question was an essay question asking me why I thought ChatGPT was better for the specific application I was using it for. Google paid me a whole goddamn dollar for telling it, in many colorful words, that I understood the tool I needed for my question wasn’t an ad generator so obviously I didn’t use Google.
Since turning 30 I’ve been thinking about the half-your-age-plus-seven rule a lot more. It would feel creepy as fuck to date a 22 year old. Is this all in my head? It feels predatory to swipe right on anyone younger than 25
Thumbtack? For random odd jobs around the house, I don’t know if that one counts as similar. I’m not certain it’s an exploitative con
I have been trying to decide between an aeropress or pourover. Maybe I’m ignorant of something, how is the pourover a larger hassle?
This is the Sound of Freedom conman, right?
Part of what creates in me so much faith in communism is my profession vs my interests.
I am an engineer. If I didn’t need to sell my labor I would be an engineer who solves problems and creates progress. Since I live in America, I don’t.
That last one is straight up Ender Wiggin
If you have the cash to spare for it, FindMyProfession is a subscription service that I’ve twice used to get out of a shitty job. First time I wanted the new job to take me to a specific state, they found it in the heights of the pandemic and with a 30% bump in pay within the first month. Second time I wanted a new job but I didn’t want to move, in the barely-begun third month they found me a 20% bump in pay for a fantastic company.
The service they offer is some expensive shit, but I trust it so goddamn much.
I think it’s important to acknowledge that yes, the government absolutely does have shadow organizations that violate American citizens constitutional rights. No one is disputing that.
The point that most people here are trying to help you notice is that there is help. A professional , trained therapist can help. A therapist, if they’re at all qualified, won’t dispute your stances in regard polygyny etc.
What follows includes some assumptions of who you are and I want to acknowledge that these might not look like your struggles. Guessing by analogy of my own experience, you feel a kind of helpless. You understand the situation as it is and you recognize that it is irrational to hope blindly that your understanding is wrong and tomorrow everything is just going to be better. A therapist isn’t paid to tell you that you are seeing your situation incorrectly, a therapist is paid to learn what you tell them you understand the world is like and help you find steps you can take from the position you’re in now.
The ideology you identify with is associated with a tendency toward terrorism / violent actions. That is what everyone here is trying to warn you about. You sound like what a rational person becomes in hopeless situations. Seek a therapist not because they will change your mind but instead so that someone who will work to understand how you’re rational and help you take rational steps from that place to one less hopeless.
Few of the shitty things Trump was doing have actually stopped under Biden.
Kids in cages?
Reproductive Rights?
Student loan debt?
Trans rights?
Edit to add: A point in Biden’s favor was the Inflation Reduction Act which included some teeth to chase tax-dodging billionaires but Biden’s boner for genocide convinced him to remove all those to pass an “aid” package for Israel
