@bluthwayne77 Yeah, when we bought we had to make some concessions because the housing market was (and is still) shit. And not having a street-facing driveway with a dedicated spot extant was one of them. Thankfully it won’t be for much longer.

@bluthwayne77 I have back alley access and am putting in a parking pad back there this summer, but until then I must park on the street Mind you, I have 1 car. The duplex across the street has 6 total vehicles for four people - all parked on the street (not counting their guests).

@unheardparent This is also why I hate publicly funded election campaigns. It’s compelled speech. My tax money goes to pay for a politician that I hate’s political promos.

I managed to kill the world’s biggest emergent pimple ever seen in a 38 year old man - simply by using multiple daily applications of tretinoin. And now I have chemical burn.

She doesn’t actually want these monkeys. She wants children.
If you want to feel better about your life just watch this and remind yourself that at least you don’t have to live like this

GIVE THE PEOPLE THEIR CHEAP, BASIC VEHICLES BACK! If I see another new car where the entire dashboard is a screen and there are zero buttons, I’m going to lose my mind.
You are not really free until you can purchase this $10k Toyota truck in the U.S. Everything short of this is tyranny.

@alty5745 @TheWarKitchen Yes. My grandmother had 11 kids and four of them were after 40 (including my mother). My best friend (who is a doctor) was born to a 47-year-old mother. Some women are fertile into middle age. It’s fine!

I have a younger (first) cousin (once removed) who is just starting out in life and she’s very shy and not very pretty and very awkward and is obsessed with her dog and every time I think about her I blame the leftists and feminists.

@BenforOregon I have looked at County and City jobs - all that I’m imminently qualified for - but I refuse to apply because I will not write a DEI statement.
