I don't think that's a crazy choice. I kinda wish I had had my tubes tied like many of my friends did when Roe was overturned. But then I wouldn't have my wonderful baby son. It's hard.

It's truly awful. I can't look anyone in their eyes. All I can think about are how many of them voted my rights away by electing Trump again. I've never felt so isolated and desperate. I'm in a red state that outvoted Democrats 2:1, so it's extra bad.

I'm feeling like I never want to participate in community things around here ever again. No handing out candy, no helping neighbors shovel their snow, no making friends without asking who they fucking voted for. Hell, I don't even want to travel to see my R-voter relatives for the holidays. I'm putting all visits on hold, which is gonna really piss them of, because this is the first grandkid's (our son) first holidays.

To be honest, I'm feeling sick for even choosing to have him despite my better judgment, which is the worst feeling to have while looking at your baby. It was in a period of hope that maybe we'd be able to overcome that orange fucker's influence, but now look where we are. I feel like I've sentenced him to a fate worse than death to have brought him into this world at this time in this country. Especially with the climate certainly being extra fucked now.

FUCK THIS.

People are reenacting the point of the comic in real time, it's wild.

You too, always good to start it off right with some good ol Lemmy hot takes on women.

Erase the last thought bubble and replace it with "It was nice to run into her, she's so sweet," and you'll have something a bit more realistic and less incel-y lmao.

Women do actually like each other 🙄

For me, podcasts specifically about going to sleep to them trigger my contrariness too much to be actually relaxing. It's gotta be on a normal topic that is just the right balance of interesting, but not exiting/engaging.

History typically scratches that itch for me. Dan Carlin's hardcore history and the history of the English being the two goats that coke immediately to mind. Camp Monsters is also a great one; the rare fiction podcast that I can actually stand, much less relaxes me enough to sleep.

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall's/Homegoods as well.

Be so serious, Mariah Carey's is far from the worst Christmas song in retail.

We already have, babe. Bodily autonomy for us is no longer a guarantee.

I heard an interesting comparison lately saying basically that blaming the development of agriculture for late stage capitalism is like blaming calculus for the development of the atom bomb, and I would tend to agree.

It's looking like agriculture was probably used originally to keep us longer in community at sites like Gobekli Tepe, and probably was absolutely life saving for us at that time.

The real issue arose from not persecuting those who would horde various types of wealth more severely (or at all).
