My favorite is when it comes on a brioche bun. Oh, goodie—milk AND eggs. I’m okay with the patties being cooked on the same grill (if I’ve agreed to eat there, I’ve already accepted that’s going to be the case), and I can ask them to leave off the cheese, but I can never trust the bread. Half the bread in the damn grocery store has milk in it—stands to reason the restaurants do too. And then, of course, if you ask about it, you’re lucky if you get someone who understands. Half the time waiters will lie to you—even if they actually check*
*Not a slam on waiters, its a shit job with shit pay, but they’re overworked and underpaid and sometimes they just don’t care.
I started to ask who this asshat is, but then realized I don’t care. It may be an 18 minute read, but I only managed 2. As soon as he admitted attacking the left helps him gain traction with the right, I quit.
Fucking libs will be the death of us all. And I’m so embarrassed that I used to be one of them.
I was going to compliment you on a brilliant mockery of a hollywood marketing write-up...then I saw the link. Is there some word stronger than hate or loathe? Because thanks, I <insert word> it.
Which is precisely why, I believe, they won’t get the senate. If they get a majority they can’t blame Mitch McConnell for everything and fund raise off it...well, they can, but it’s not as effective. Trump has been a fucking windfall for Team Blue, and I suspect they are secretly crying over the loss of their biggest ever money-maker.
And I could be totally wrong— I really didn’t think Biden could squeak out a win, so my powers of prognostication are non-existent.
Well, I knew the rat would pop up somewhere. I hate this so much I don’t have words but I am not even remotely surprised. Trump lost, woohoo! Biden won, FML...
Honestly, I don’t feel like I have much to add to the conversation. And generally someone else has already said it—much better than I could—when I get into the comments. This place makes me feel less alone, but. I tend to not speak up much. So I guess I’m one of the people you’re asking about.
Reddit was such a toxic cesspool, I’m still starting comments and deleting them for fear of what my inbox will look like in an hour.
How does this shit gain traction? I’m just gobsmacked that anyone believes this, let alone passes it on and prays for divine intervention. I so don’t have my finger on the pulse of this nation...
And still at the top of the DNC ticket. Not that I’m surprised, but I gave up trying to talk to my lib friends about it. So, SO horrified by Kavenaugh, but this? Russian op. I spent two days screaming into a pillow and then just shut down.
Long way of saying I appreciate not being the only person who remembers this every goddamn day.
I’m not voting for Biden, but I finally caved and started lying to all my family and friends by saying that I would. They think this election matters. They think civilization an democracy depends on it. I know it doesn’t, so rather than have endless, fruitless arguments about how if I’m not voting for Biden then I’m voting for Trump, I just took the path of least resistance. They don’t need to know the truth—we’re all happier if they don’t. I love them, but every goddamn one of them is a lib and—particularly with my 80+ year old parents—I just want to have a peaceful relationship with them for whatever time is left. I used to think my parents would not live to see the worst of the impending collapse, but now I’m not so sure. If I don’t give a shit about this election and they do, what’s the harm in making them happy?
I just let the hate flow though me, like the force, and trust it will move to all the right targets. There are so many I quit naming/listing them.
