As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.

He’s crepuscular!

As a girl I can confirm that my pee is pink for like 7 out of every 28 days.

Man I had to reread that headline like five times. “How was the man, who was killed, rebuking anyone?”

I’m in awe of the pylons.

And that thing where you’re reading something, and you know you read the words, but none of them “stick” and now you have to re-read the whole thing to figure out where you got lost.

Joke’s on you! I’m too lazy to fake anything!

I’m even too lazy to

I gotta tell ya, the only fascists I’ve met (who share their opinion in front of me) are online. All the ones I meet in day-to-day life are smart enough to keep their opinions to themselves.

Absolutely fascinating! As shareholders they have a unique standing for this suit. I’m going to be watching this closely.

Wow. Innovative way to try to force change, nuns. Regardless of how you feel about guns, this is a very interesting way to attempt to accomplish their goal.

It’s that kind of attitude that will see him as First Emperor of the Moon.

I lived here the whole time and that person is correct.

However my anecdotal experience is most people are refusing to test. Can’t get positive if you don’t test. 😩

I’ve been on Lemmy talking about this for ages. Listen. I’m in healthcare. I work under the Deparment of Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities in a 501c3 doing residential care.

The health care system in America is absolutely fucked from top down.

I’m working constantly. We do not have enough people. In my particular field, we are vastly underpaid for the work we do, so no one wants to do it. The jobs are there, the labor isn’t. And listen, no one in this job can blame them!

We’re so burned out that every time yet another person quits we all nod and say, “Good for them” and soldier on, because if we stop showing up, these people will die.

That’s just residential care. People living communally with disabilities wind up in every facet of health care (urgent care, hospitals, physicians) at an insane rate, so I see different facilities almost every day, and everywhere I go the story is the same!

Something has to give. You can’t order us to work and eventually the rising cost of living will force people like me to give up on these marginalized populations. Every LPN and CNA I know has quit healthcare altogether because it’s not worth it. The only one I know who still works is a PRN contractor who charges over $30/hour to work in nursing homes. We have to do something or there won’t be anyone left to treat anyone!

What a fantastic resource!

To be fair covid sucks. I’m still exhausted all the time.

It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!

Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.

…now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.

E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!

“Some reason”

The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.

Imagine a railroad company evacuating your town but promising to provide you with Thanksgiving dinner… What hell

Big “bUt ThErE aRe ChIlDrEn StArViNg In AfRiCa” energy. How dare someone complain when things could be worse, right? What an ungrateful dick for wanting better just because the previous generation had that, huh?

I always thought this but with the added twist that the Devil didn’t actually lose. He chose to “lose” because he didn’t want Johnny humbled. He wanted Johnny and all that pride to go across earth challenging anyone to believe they could be so good as to beat the Devil, inspiring more pride.
