Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination

Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, people who don’t want you to talk about the legal risks because they think you’re trying to discourage them.

Fight the power, but know what you’re doing. That’s how you minimize risk.

I know this is selfish and stupid but everyone is so wound up about the election that I didn’t really get a birthday this year. Half my family didn’t even text me.

A friend still wanted to do a birthday dinner so I texted my sibling asking if they were free, but they somehow missed that it was about my birthday plans and they were having a breakdown (not about the election) so we had to cancel birthday plans to keep them company. I shouldn’t complain because I love my sibling, but whenever I told my family about mental health stuff, they always just yelled at me and made it worse. I don’t understand why they suddenly believe in depression and think depressed people deserve support.

Also like I said, I know it’s selfish and stupid, but I just wanted a day to pretend things were normal before I start scraping money together for my passport and getting my tubes tied.

Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. Sometimes my parents let me stay up to watch it, but they stopped after some dumb gag scared me and I started crying.

Is this bot generated? It has all the right words for a “wise” quote but makes no sense. Is the wise man also rich? Why are we specifically contrasting “the wise man” with “the poor man”?

For people with physical jobs, try a little weight lifting. You don’t have to be the best or lift super heavy weights for it to be useful.

It’s one thing to have signs up at work reminding you to lift with your knees. It’s another thing to really learn, through constant practice, how to move your body safely, and activate muscles you never thought about. You won’t need signs to remind you, and you’re less likely to lift something stupidly and fuck up your joints even if you’re in a hurry, because correct technique will be burnt into your brain.

I know it’s not exactly obscure knowledge but a lot of people don’t bother unless they’ve got some kind of body goal. I’ve found it to be an educational experience even if I’m not a bodybuilder.

Congratulations! You don’t have to see the guy with a confederate flag skullcap tattoo around town and resist the urge to bash his face
