I hit a critical milestone on the way home from school today.
It's the only place.
And yes.
Trump is a symptom. Don't get me wrong, the sooner he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger the better, but shit isn't going to get better once he finally fucks off.
After seeing him in action for 4 years and hearing all the Nazi shit he's said since, the average voter decided they like him even more than they did the first time - they fucking love that evil shit, and that's the problem. When Trump is gone, some other evil fucker will step into the spotlight and the 73 million Nazis that voted to burn our country down will just focus their support over to the new guy.
And it's not going away with boomers or any other generation either. I had high hopes for Z, but it turns out a lot of them are little Nazis too.
Humans are trash, and we'll continue to live in a dumpster until we're extinct.

...yeah bro, those are just as fucked as the rest of the US.
We should give Ukraine full air support. Best case, the war ends before we hand the keys of the Whitehouse to a Nazi. Worst case, we all erupt into nuclear fire before we hand the keys of the Whitehouse to a Nazi.
Win win.
Why? It's official presidential business. Just hang out in the Whitehouse until Trump finally finds some way to die.
What's the worst that could happen? ...cuz it's a hell of a lot better than what we just elected.
I think previous poster is being critical of the moral high grounders that just sold the planet out, not actually supporting that shit.
SpongeBob "We did it, Patrick!" meme energy.
Looking at their comment history, they don't appear to be a dipshit.
Fuck it. Sign me up.
That's not how Republicans do. They'll love every second of their own oppression so long as women/queer/colored/etc people are being oppressed too.
...wait how many plagues were supposed to be? I thought we were done with this after the locusts n' shit.
For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?
Cuz I sure as fuck won't be praying, but I'm not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.
We can't even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.
We're not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.
Whittling away at pawns isn't what we need right now.
Made this for a comment reply to another thread; thought y'all would enjoy it too! ^_^
Skip to the tldr if you don't want the novel explaining the reasoning.
A friend gifted me their old Razer Kraken headset a while ago. The leather Razer uses is some CHEAP shit, so the couple years in a closet leading up to it landing on my noggin left it in a state of deterioration that would sprinkle my head and ears with little bits of black leather.
The speakers are good though, and free is free, so no complaints: I hit it with some duct tape and peeled it off repeatedly until all the leather bits were freed up - the cloth layer underneath the leather is now the outermost layer, and no more black sprinkles all over, so yay.
Unfortunately the tape pulling on the ear cushions was a bit too much for whatever adhesive Razer uses to stick em on to their mounting plate, and they pretty much just pulled off. Also no biggie - replacements are pretty cheap on Amazon, so I got a set and lived happily ever after...
...but now I've got the old mounting plates (minus the cushions) and an idea.
So... I do a lot of gaming, wife watches a lot of TV. We do this in the same room, so I pretty much always have my headset on, which blocks most TV noises from getting to me, and most gaming noises from getting to her. Works great until she says something, and all I hear is muffled gibberish until I lift a speaker off my ear and hit her with "What?".
-----------TLDR---------------
My idea is to put... idk... something... on the mounting plate of the side facing her that's stable enough to keep the headphone in the correct position (and not pressing directly on my ear) but basically leaves the space completely open to the environment so that external sound coming from that side isn't muffled.
I'm thinking something like a plastic spiral hair tie, but with an inner diameter large enough to encircle my ear, and the spiral diameter roughly the same as the cussion, at least when its under tension against my head.
something like this:
...but ofc not just a cylindrical spring, but a donut shape. I kinda suck at photoshop, but you get the gist.
The spiral hair tie is the closest actual product I can think of to what I'm picturing, but those are far too small... ideas?

This is a weird one, but grocery stores for cultures other than my own.
For one, there's SO MUCH cool shit and delicious foods I never even knew existed. I think the biggest factor though is it's the closest I've ever gotten to actually traveling. Can't afford the real thing.
While I also love their restaurants and cultural events, there's something about being served or attempting to showcase major cultural highlights in some event that kills the authenticity of the experience.
In their grocery stores, I'm surrounded by that same culture, but none of it's about me: the other shoppers don't give a fuck about me, the staff only interact at the checkout... and other than that it's just me and a can of... some kind of sauce? I can't read it... but some elderly Asian woman just grabbed two of them and the rest of her cart is filled with what will undeniably become an amazing meal... fuck it, I'll give it shot!
The drinks and junk food too are also usually a safe option to find something both very different from what I'm used to and very tasty.
Definitely spent more than a few bucks on things that weren't... eh... compatible with my palette, but finding out is part of the experience.
Idk. Weird thing to get excited about, but it's a good time.
