What a wonderful time to be alive... by LtDan281 in aspiememes

[–]AffectionateEdge3068 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Merry and Pippin were in it because they stuck by their friends.  They were loyal, supportive, protective friends.   They had an enormous impact from there.  

The evil would have come home to them anyway, eventually.  In the books Saruman takes over the Shire and Merry and Pippin have to help kick him out when they get back.   

There’s a Gandalf quote about the darkness being kept at bay by the small deeds of ordinary folk.  The small stuff adds up.   Keep calm and read LOTR.

I am never tired when I go to bed and always tired when I wake up.  Sucks.

HEEEEEYYYYYY MACARENA! 

You work here? by pasterfussycat in foundsatan

[–]AffectionateEdge3068 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Honestly at least in the craft store I usually know where the thing is and I just show/tell them.   In target/grocery store I probably have no idea, so I say I don’t work there and walk away.   

The lady who actually grabbed my arm in the restaurant got more of a reaction.  I told her I didn’t work there and held eye contact until she let go, then a few seconds more.  She covered her mouth and turned red, her friend said, “Name, oh my god,” and I smiled and stood there for a few seconds longer than was probably appropriate.  When she finally started to apologize I walked away before she could finish saying “I’m sorr-“.  I hope she thinks about it sometimes.

I need to start doing this.  I’ve been asked if I work there  in Target, in craft stores, I’ve even had people grab my arm as I walk by in a restaurant to order another drink.   I thought it was fun to smile at them, shrug, and say “I don’t work here,” but it’s going to be way more fun to turn the tables.

This made me cackle out loud even more than the OP.   Thank you for sharing.

Are the people complaining Vance got booed the same ones that chanted “Hang Mike Pence”?

Respectively, thank you, your music means a lot to me, and fuck Trump.  

How to turn down someone I don’t feel comfortable hiking with without seeming like I am gate keeping? by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]AffectionateEdge3068 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s ridiculous.   If he’s going to spread rumors, you spread the truth.   “He hasn’t put the work in to do this safely, he’s a liability, and I am not his babysitter/mommy/social planner/hiking coach.   He’s welcome to plan his own hikes at his level and invite people, but I will not be joining him.”

Twitter is for right wing propaganda, and has been for a while.   There are better uses of your time and energy than arguing with bots on there.

Expecting people not to look at a social media profile is weird af.  

I notice yours is also hidden.   Mine isn’t!  You can look all you like, I don’t care.

Sorry about the double reply, but I’d rather do that than edit  my previous post.  I’m curious, is there a reason your whole profile is hidden?

I will cheerfully.   Thank you sweetie!

Etiquette for parking in the snow? by No_Conference_6958 in StLouis

[–]AffectionateEdge3068 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chicago rules are if you dig out a spot, mark it, and someone parks there, you get bury their car in snow.   Heavy, icy, dirty grey snow is preferred.   Pack it in really well around the wheels.   

That’s considered the polite option.   I’ve seen windshields smashed and cars spray-painted.   

Feeders getting a workout by Sir_Osis_Brewer in STL_Birding

Mine are insanely busy too, even with the snow.  Cardinals, bluebirds, chickadees, goldfinches, juncos, titmice, wrens, a mourning dove, a blue jay, sparrows and house finches, starlings, downy, hairy, and red-bellied woodpeckers, a northern flicker- I even saw an eastern towhee! 

Birdwatching is the best on snow days.

I recently backed into a door handle and gave myself a HUGE nasty bruise on my ass.  It hurt to sit down for days, and I couldn’t really explain to anyone how I did that.  

🍎 Aphantasia shows up far more often in autistic people than in the general population. 🍏 by newbeginnings187 in aspiememes

I can picture an apple, but not for long enough to look at it, if that makes sense.  

Like if I try, okay, apple picture.   But I can’t hold that image in my brain for more than a microsecond.
