It’s the summers that we don’t get thunderstorms that I worry about, because those are the years we end up in extreme droughts and those are far more miserable. As for the heat, people find a reason to bitch about every season. It’s too cold. It’s too hot. Eew there’s bugs. Damned pollen. Fuckin’ leaves everywhere. Ice sucks. Bird shit all over. Santa Claus is coming to town, hide your kids and hide your wife.
Southern drawl versus text-to-speech. Bedazzle of the scent tree.
So nice. My giardiasis just finished blooming, the whole yard smelled of it.
I think it’s more than half, and I think the other half just touches themselves in private areas too taboo to mention on a Christian oriented site like Lemmy. Let’s just say, stay away from the devil’ jewels kiddos.
First they told us not to eat the yellow snow, now they’re telling us not to stick spring rolls up our poop chutes. It’s like doctors don’t want us to find any joy in our lives.
First they invented great barrier reef, now they make great barrier ointment. My God what horrors and highlights, the hubris of humankind.
I live in a rural area outside of a small town in the southern USA. The local electrician, basically the guy almost everybody calls if they need basic residential electrical work, earns almost twice the high end of what that job listing is paying. Granted, he’s basically on call 7 days a week and I’m sure his job isn’t always unicorn farts and leprechaun rainbows, but he’s his own boss and works his own hours.
ONLY CHILDREN NEED NOT APPLY
I completely understand.
I spent a semester of college working at Home Depot. It was a terrible experience and awful in so many different ways that I consider it my second worst job experience, only slightly behind the holier than thou “Christian business” that didn’t pay its employees and actively committed fraud against employees, clients, and the government. 25+ years later, I still don’t like to shop at Home Depot, it was so bad.
Those are pretty ladies and cute outfits! Hope they drink sufficient amounts of water and stay hydrated, else time may not be kind to their skin.
I’m not defending it nor am I saying it’s typical, but it’s not that hard to spend $500 per person per month on groceries.
It’s definitely doable (and then some) for folks living in high cost of living places. I recently went on a quick weekend trip to such a place. I knew I didn’t have the type of money to dine out, but I figured I could suffice on a few staples from the grocery store. I visited several different stores, and the prices were all about the same (i.e. insane). The little pint (or half pint?) Ben and Jerry’s was $10 - 12. A container of romaine lettuce was $8. A package of Oscar Meyer sliced deli meat was $15. These prices are easily 3 - 4 times what they typically cost where I live.
Also, a lot of people shop at the kinds of stores where you can find everything from apples to Apple watches. And when people do their “grocery” shopping, they’re buying bulk paper towels, a case of wine, a new Switch game for the kids, cosmetics, cat litter, clothes, 30 pack of batteries, a couple azaleas, and a partridge in a pear tree and then calling that their grocery bill. So, it’s not exactly a fair label nor an accurate assumption that the grocery bill is just groceries (i.e. food).
And honestly, if you mean HOW as in how can they afford it: $500 x 4 = $2,000 or $24,000. A lot of money, sure, but median household income (in the USA) is like $80,000 and I’m guessing that $500 a month per person is above median expenditure (especially if we’re excluding the folks that like to include the partridge in their grocery bill), so most people spending that much on food would be earning way more than median income.
This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.
Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.
So, the immigrants are criminals if they are not authorized to be in the country. But the people unlawfully employing them aren’t criminals? I’m confused about what he’s saying, but then again, I’m also 100% he’s confused about what he’s saying so you can’t really blame me, right?
if you take a digital photo of the [ … thing … ] and post it on the internet as a terribly compressed jpg
That sums up the entirety of the content on a number of popular subs on the R-word site.
Confusing perspective? No. More like confusing JPEG artifacts.
This is only tangentially related, but it touches on why I barely trust new shows anymore.
I kept hearing praise for a show called Severance (not on Netflix, though) and it sounded like it was something I’d like. Still I resisted the urge to watch it. It wasn’t until several fucking years later, they released a second season.
So, after the second season came out, I figured I’d give it a go. The firs season left me irritated because the season finale resolved almost nothing, left everything open. I’m pissed just knowing how betrayed I’d have felt if I had watched the show when the first season came out and then just got left hanging for years.
Then I watched the first episode of the second season, which fortunately provided some answers, and decided, fuck everybody involved with this project. I’m not getting invested because the potential for them to do another non-answer cliffhanger and just leave fans/viewers without any type of closure is just too much.
But back on topic, yes, I agree, Netflix quite often takes too long to release follow-up seasons on a lot of shows I watched and liked. I know some of it is outside of their control, but it seems to happen quite a bit to the point where I do wonder how much of it is actually out of their control.
It’s gay pride for bears. Bears traditionally being older, stockier/larger, and usually hairier than main stream depictions of gay men and male models, but it’s actually pretty inclusive and more about male body positivity, brotherhood, and acceptance than fitting any actual physical stereotype.
Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you’re not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.
Personally, I just don’t like cooked pineapple very much. It’s a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I’ve got enough disappointment in my life already, don’t need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.
Let’s see how this turns out.
