The hands are drawn over the mittens with a marker.

I'm waiting for him to lose his shit and bitch slap a reporter. Only a matter of time given his MNPD and dementia.

"Shut up BITCH! Go fix me a turkey pot pie!"

Too generic and immature ATM. Is there an older specimen around? Hopefully one with flowers or fruits or seeds?

Kids are 10 and 12 ATM and we're 54. Kinda screwed for a deal like that. Also, my Social Security check will take good care of us in the Philippines.

I'd also go for no property taxes past a certain age and below a certain income.

Take the booty calls. It's step one in pulling yourself back out, not the end game. Nothing wrong with taking care of your needs, sounds like that's what they're doing. Feeling wanted, even just for a one-nighter is a solid way to start building confidence back. Been there, done this.

I can't understand where the DOE gets authority over a state in this case. Anyone?

I wish Congressmen like these folks would stand the fuck up and fight fire with fire tornadoes. Fight. Back. Did none of these people get their ass beat in school and learn how to deal with bullies?!

"If the orange pedophile wants to arrest us, the FBI and DOJ are under the Executive Branch. That's your branch Little Hands. Perhaps grow a fucking pair and do somethin' about it? Your call, pussy.

Captain Bonespurs is having a fit as his dementia falls off the cliff. Turns out, he's too weak to rule and his cronies are running the show while holding his hand and making 'yes' noises.

He'll go cry juicy tears on his failing social media platform. How're profits on Truth Social, Mushroom Dick? Fred Trump is spinning in his grave watching his loser son wreck every business he touches. They let him out of hell every other weekend because watching you fail is worse than anything Satan's dreamed up."

I simply cannot understand it. Democrats and the media could send him into cardiac arrest within the week. Get some movie stars and world leaders in on it. I've never in life known someone who would be so easy, especially given the state of his dementia, to push into narcissistic collapse. He would either literally die from the stress, or go so apeshit his cabinet has no choice but to pull the 25th on him.

(Were I actually in a position to deal such a message, I'd spend all night tweaking it, every word a kidney punch, but you get the gist if it. 😂)

LOL, see my comment! That's exactly what will happen. Some of the small-time landlords will do the right thing, but this is free money to the soulless corporate home owners.

Small business and franchises will be unable to afford more employees. Lemmy thinks these business owners are all rich. No, they can't just hire more people.

Dug around one night looking at McDonald's and franchising. You can expect a meager $50K your first year, $90K after that. No way in hell I'm putting in the hours and hassle of running a business, with a couple of dozen employees to care for, when I was making $83K sitting at home playing sysadmin. BTW, that $90K doesn't include accounting and payroll, you on your own.

Min wage here is $15, so the employer cost is likely around $22. Even if the owner takes $0 pay, they could hire a whopping 2 employees.

Landlords will jack the rates knowing that their renters will make more and more money. This law funnels money from Main Street to corporate landlords. They're punishing the good guys, incentivizing the bad guys, and minimum wage employees get squeezed from both ends.

SOURCE: Was a sysadmin for a payroll firm and was deeply involved in all aspects of the business. Most of our clients were not well off and paid minimum wage or close enough.

EDIT: Forgot to add; This is a revenue neutral law for the city. If they want more housing that's money out of the budget or tax incentives to builders, so less budget next year. Probably worth the temporary lower budget to get the community thriving and able to pay taxes. No idea on all that. 🤷🏻

Nah, Californian's grow rice. You got me curious so I looked, and surprisingly, Arkansas grows loads of it! I could get it going in NW Florida, and it gets down to 19F every winter.

But you're right in that wheat is far tougher in the cold.

 

My mechanic sold it to me through some cousin he barely knows. Guy was fixing it for his nephew after the last hurricane chunked some trees through it, gave up. For $3,500, PERFECT!

Ugly as hell*, no worries anyone will try the door handles for goodies. "Meh. This guy's poor." Mechanically? Solid as granite.

Pro tip: Went for new plugs and wires to Advanced Auto, $145. Nope. Amazon, $46. Rear pads? AutoZone: $48. Amazon: $18 for Bendix pads (which reviewers outside of Amazon like?)

Anyway, it's my own, personal YT-1300 light freighter. "Don't worry. She'll hold together… Hear me, baby? Hold together."

* Funny pic. That was the end of a record snowstorm, in NW Florida. My town got the all-time high score at 10"! See what happens when global warming beats the polar vortex into loops? Yeah.

 
 
 
 

Made olive oil soap 2-weeks ago, still soft enough to take a thumbprint. This is my 5th try, same recipe, doesn't seem any harder than the previous batches. Am I expecting too much from sodium lactate?

It's stashed on a BBG grill inside the house's HVAC intake. Usually a great place, but we're not running heat or air ATM. 🤷🏻

Should I try gently baking it? Scared to ruin it, can't really afford more olive oil. One reason I roll my own soap is to save money. We burn through a bar of Irish Spring every week. My previous olive oil bars lasted me (alone) a month or so.

 

I've said 1,000 times (probably literally), on here and reddit, for nearly a decade, that Trump is easily understood and predictable if one understands malignant narcissistic personality disorder. Trump's picture will be in the DSM-6 one day, right next to the definition. If you aren't familiar with the diagnosis, please have a look for yourself. Not some pop-sci shit, look at medical definitions, the traits required for such a diagnosis.

Think a guy like that is putting himself in a subservient sexual position? For any sort of personal gain?!

But let's say you have some angle you find plausible from Trump's POV. What in the hell makes you think Clinton would want an old white guy to blow him? He's the poster boy for hetero horndog.

"But what about the text of the email?!"

Who knows? We need the preceding context. Ever joked around about the kompromat the Russians must have on Trump? Maybe it was that sort of reference? Ever joked that so-and-so must be sucking dick to get favors you couldn't otherwise understand? Also, notice they dropped it, zero further discussion?

This is a picture perfect case of social media taking a thing at face value because it's just too juicy not to believe. Don't know what the take is on other social media, but I find you guys taking way too much at face value because you want to believe. Be better, think critically.

tl;dr: Trump wouldn't do it. Clinton wouldn't want it. Makes for great memes, but it's absurd on it's face.

 

Gun always had "issues". Stove piped, failure to eject, etc. This whole time the problem was my limp wrist.

What's stupid is that I knew about the term, what it meant, all that. I cannot fathom how I never put two and two together.

Anyway, if the term is new to anyone, here's a short video on the subject. She actually gets her Glock to malfunction by purposefully limp wristing it. Did not know that was possible with larger calibers.

I had thought my small pistols malfunctioned from lack of recoil. Turns out I was right... 🙄 My larger guns like the Colt .45 are heavy, require a proper grip. Guess what? They work fine.

Be glad to tell y'all about the pistol. It's utterly dreamy. Weighs 1.25lbs. fully loaded, 30-rounds of smokin' .22WMR, never fails (if held properly). 5" of barrel gives you an easy aim, more booty and accuracy behind that bullet. Contrasting front/rear fiber sights with lots of length to soak up light. HUGE red mark showing "not safe". Love that as I usually paint my safe marks with nail polish. Maybe the worst part is that it looks and feels like a toy, no bueno if a kid finds it. (Which won't happen. Right?!)

Very happy as this is my perfect hiking side arm!

 

Trying to research a lemmy comment.

"Yes, it's true! Except that it's not. It's complicated OK?!"
