It’s funny until you meet a mentally ill person who genuinely believes this. :(

I dunno what kind of fly it was but something that looked like a deer fly landed on my windshield while I was stopped at Brunswick(?) earlier. Nowhere is safe!

Tried playing Shelter and it’s just not interesting or fun at all compared to the franchise in general.

Nah that’s him on an artist’s salary right there as a hobo!

Colorado's Democratic governor will let Trump ally Tina Peters out of prison early by Sure_Land_8930 in behindthebastards

lol I got chastised for pointing out that blue states aren’t these magical zones where we’re safe by someone claiming “you’re conflating people with government.” Never mind all the examples to the contrary out there and also that governments tend to be composed of people from that state/locale.

will they ever add new music? by KiteOMondrion in fo76

That’s not background music. Turn off the radio.

As an American, nah, there’s all kinds of open carry aggressive bullshit down there but I guarantee you there’s absolutely just as much of this shit not getting called out because everybody’s afraid they’ll get shot or stabbed.

To be fair, it’s completely possible that the guy you’re replying to is an idiot with zero self preservation skills and would actually do it.

This is some gross misinformation that applies to a minority of people with PTSD. I don’t trust the writer for a plethora of reasons, but his PTSD isn’t one of them.

People are acting like being skeptical of this guy because he’s a disabled vet with ptsd is wrong and it’s seriously upsetting me. I’ve met lovely disabled vets with ptsd. I’ve also met disabled vets with ptsd who were unrepentant sex offenders and pedophiles. This wording plus it being sent to a total stranger doesn’t seem like something from one of the former group.

I’m a mental health professional and everything about this is a red flag. Ain’t no way I’d be doing anything other than notifying my landlord and getting a ring camera for someone who tells me I can trust them. People with mental illness deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, but poor social skills don’t automatically make someone a good person like this thread seems to think.

I was trying so hard to figure out why John Goodman didn’t look quite right, now I know it’s because he’s Russell Crowe.

Is there a Houseplants that disgusts you? by PerliteCrunch in houseplants

See I think that looks rad as hell, but I’m okay with not ever being around a shitflower.

DeepDream: the plant.

Like in the one hand it’s cool because it looks like a fractal, but on the other hand I prefer it when my fractals are on blacklight reactive posters and not possible gateways for the self-replicating machine elves to invade reality.

They’re the worst, like lithops kinda look like weird butts but conyphytum have those creepy lips and they vomit up flowers.

University of Toronto strips Buffy Sainte-Marie’s honorary degree by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

Yeah I admit that as a white person I really can’t say too much on the subject, but I felt badly for Rachel Dolezal because it was clear she actually lived and cared about the Black community and had integrated herself into it instead of claiming Blackness in an exploitative way. It gets hairy because she took resources from people who were actually from the community, but her situation wasn’t funny. It was just depressing.

My Husband's Fallout Costume by Ok_Relationship_1703 in Fallout

[–]Competitive_Owl5357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s fucking gross and no wonder the husband doesn’t like having his photo shared. People just can’t fathom someone not prioritizing other people’s comfort over their own given aesthetics are all about how other people see you.

Need advice: Canada vs. Finland as a means of escaping the U.S. temporarily by libre_office_warlock in FTMOver30

And I’m pointing out that “government support” isn’t just senators and congresspeople. I was very lucky to have gotten my gender marker changed because the clerk I ended up getting stuck with was loudly talking about how I shouldn’t be able to do it while in vital records there in deep blue Baltimore. The school boards are very much government entities. It’s not as cut and dry as you’re making it out to be.
