6x7=42, Clinton was president #42. It’s gotta be connected

It’s so the farmers can find lost cows

They moved there at eight years old

It went away for a second for me too, but it comes back, don’t worry

It’s just a regular pole in front of a cat whose coloration blends into the pole in a misleading way. The cat’s not touching the pole.

I never realized that picture was an optical illusion. I thought it was just an upset cat

I mean, I would not want to be kept “safe” in those conditions, so I wouldn’t consider it worth it

I could see an argument for the noise being detrimental to the cows and her trying to pick her battles in a Swiss cattle farming town. I guess she still didn’t hit the mark.

I wanted to be a naval pilot engineer at four. I’m colorblind, terrified of heights, not fond of authority, sloppy, and scatterbrained as hell. It’s quite possibly the worst possible job for me. To be fair, part of the reason was that I hated the word “bellybutton” and thought anyone who said ”navel” instead had the right idea, so it’s not like I really understood that part of it.

Well, I’d probably want to keep the sex worker in question out of jail, but otherwise yes

Yeah, my exs brother was from New England and went to school in the south. One year there was a snowstorm that closed everything there for a couple of days. He made a bunch of money doing package store runs for his dorm because he knew how to drive in the snow, but he said it was still much worse driving conditions than at home because the town didn’t have any snowplows and had to scrounge to get enough sand for the main roads

I’m from the US, and I only left a few years ago, but I can’t really recognize it anymore.

I used to work at the headquarters of a fortune 200 company (one of the largest 200 companies in the US, for reference, Adobe is #201), which is probably the most conservative environment I’ve ever been in (though it was still in New England, so take that with a grain of salt). Sometimes I think about my former coworkers and try to imagine them as trump supporters, which is difficult to do. I have no issue picturing them as diehard Kamala supporters, and I can imagine them being totally unmoved by the genocide in Palestine, but one of three things must be true: society is so stratified that I just don’t know many trump supporters; people have significantly changed since 2021; or they were hiding.

In the afterlife, nobody asks him if he’s still a fan of ayn Rand

He’s probably gotta eat that much, though, and nothing makes eating less fun than needing to long term (so not just fries and milkshakes) bulk.

“Son, you know that’s just a metaphorical nickname, right?”

I once spoke to a philosophy professor who pronounced Nietzsche as though it rhymed with itchy. I didn’t correct him because I was 19 and felt intimidated, but at some point along his career, he wouldn’t have intimidated everyone, how does that even happen?

*some exceptions apply (sorry, Afghan translators, we did you so dirty in so many ways)

Penny wise and pound foolish describes most of late stage capitalism

God, that warms my heart

I’ve eaten a variant on shepherds pie with cabbage instead of corn and pea based fake meat for the last two nights for dinner and wooooof.

This is very timely, thank you.
