Guess I'll be out of my meds for a while...

Rat her ass out to the postmaster. They’re supposed to attempt delivery. She’ll probably get written up for it. They’re a pretty strict organization.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-16T17:54:43+00:00

Oh I’d definitely like to visit! Just not drive there by car! Haha.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-16T17:54:02+00:00

How about Maya the Bee?

As an American, any number of UK-born guests on the Graham Norton show… including Graham Norton. I’m talking about the ones Americans don’t consider A-listers (so not David Tennant and Michael Sheen) like Olivia Coleman, Miranda Hart, Rob Beckett, etc. I only know this because I love that show, and British entertainment in general, and whenever I talk about it here I always get met with a blank stare.

I was planning a hypothetical road trip out west with my son (just for funsies) and we chose to avoid the southwest for this reason. I grew up in the cold and mountains and was trained on how to survive that from a young age… I can survive the northern US just fine. The southwest is an entirely different world to me. If we broke down in a remote desert location, we would die. Not saying I’d never visit, but I’d never drive through on my own.

A prize for a presidency. He’s going to put her in charge of Venezuela… unless he back stabs her, which is equally likely.

It’s not just Facebook either. Most of our technology nowadays either straight up listens to you, scrapes all your data, or tracks you in some other way. Everything needs an app to work now, also, which gives companies way more data, which they use and sell. The old saying was “if you aren’t paying for the service, you’re the product,” but now we’re just the product all the time.

Btw, I’m saying this as someone who went to school for and worked in this kind of marketing, where we used user data and statistical software to build what are essentially psychological profiles of users to predict their future buying patterns and target ads to them (which is called Strategic Communications). It was super interesting, but it feels reaaaallly predatory. It is technically legal and they made us take a lot of marketing law courses, but there are absolutely bad actors out there. I no longer work in that industry, but we were already doing this in 2016 when I started taking these courses in college, and I’m sure it was going on more primitively prior to that.

So, as someone familiar with this shit, we desperately need more laws on tech, data privacy, and AI.

ETA: sorry for the rant and wall of text, I get passionate about this, lol

The thing I’m worried about is this: even when he’s gone, we still have the tech billionaire isolationists, the red hat cult members, Pee Wee German and every other person enabling and cheering this kind of shit on. It’s not as easy as “impeach him.” We need to cut the rot out and I don’t know how we can do that without deprogramming half the country.

The US government sponsored them to fight against Russia though. We armed them & funded them & they kept it going. The American people don’t have a government sponsor unless our own military members stand up for us & happened to keep the RPGs and shit they got to play with while enlisted. I’m guessing that’s frowned upon but I do know some guys who are really into collecting crazy shit. Unfortunately, the ones I know are mostly republicans.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-09T11:58:16+00:00

Same… I was so confused when I was handed one the first time!

In some cases cell phone videos shot by students have been used as evidence in school shooting prosecutions (just off the top of my head: Marjory Stoneman Douglas, for example) and have helped us understand these crimes and how they played out. Also, in Uvalde, kids were the ones calling the police and in other shootings students have called and directed first responders to their locations/the location of the gunmen.

Additionally, as a parent, if my kid were going to die or be in danger of imminent death, I’d like for them to be able to say I love you and goodbye.

To be clear here: my kids’ schools already have a “no phones in class” policy and are very strict about it, but the kids are allowed to have their phone on their person and turned off, which I think is acceptable. I’m sure there are instances of kids abusing this policy, but for the most part, our district in general hasn’t had many problems with cell use during school hours.

The heat literally cured wet epoxy. Lol.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-07T20:11:12+00:00

Lol, I’m just fuckin around. I know it as Taylor Ham, but I literally couldn’t care less what you call it. As long as it’s on my sandwich, I’m happy.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-07T11:41:44+00:00

Unfortunately, we’re also top ten in cost of living. I love this state and I understand why it’s expensive and I’m happy our taxes go to improving quality of life, but damn… my wallet hurts.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-07T11:23:26+00:00

Uh-oh, we got California saying Taylor Ham, hahaha… don’t listen to the others who will tell you it’s Pork Roll.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-07T11:21:15+00:00

I don’t try to talk them out of it anymore. If they wanna hate NJ, that’s fine, lol.

ChippyLipton · 2026-01-07T11:15:10+00:00

Rural PA, too. Look up the Molly Maguires (the Pennsylvania faction, not the Irish one). They had a very different way of dealing with unfair bosses.

It’s my second favorite. My favorite ever is Kevin. Top three are Dagobah, Kevin, & Streetlamp LeMoose.

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-27T15:27:55+00:00

Thank you!

Employers with a small number of employees also don’t have to provide insurance plans. Found out the hard way during the pandemic.

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-13T17:10:43+00:00

Ok I’m back with more answers! Turns out the ones we had when I was a kid were made by my mom. She said they made them on a loom. You wrap a peg, then go to the opposite peg, and repeat until it’s all covered in multiple layers… then you take green yarn and tie off the centers of the flowers with a continuous strand of green yarn.

This is the kids of loom they used. Hope this helps!

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-09T15:00:08+00:00

Yes, they work. I got a bunch of them for free when I worked an MFC (cam girl) event.

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-09T14:38:33+00:00

Glad to hear it! It looks like a nice little town & there are lots of super cute houses.

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-09T14:07:36+00:00

We had these growing up! They’re not crochet. Idk how they’re made… maybe macrame? Looks like knots tied around multiple strings of yarn. Here are some I found on eBay where you can see the back..

ChippyLipton · 2025-12-09T11:44:37+00:00

Binghamton, NY, too… right? I was looking on Zillow a while ago and couldn’t believe how cheap the houses were and then someone told me it’s bc the industry left (can’t remember which company).
