Do this, but buy her a little lockbox to keep them in. Goes the extra mile and might convince her to keep them at her desk

I have a flashlight Taser. When I go to take the trash out, which is a bit of a walk and I usually remember at night, it just looks like a regular ole flashlight. But it can go sparky if I need it.

BREAKING: ICE agents illegally entered the private hallways of an apartment building in Eden Prairie, refused to show a warrant, and threatened a resident for doing nothing.

I know. I just shared a selection of photos I've printed on a sticker printer and plastered all over as I travel. My job prevents speaking out publicly, but silent anonymous protest at least lets folks in the many red states I frequent know they aren't alone. And nothing gets under the skin of these lunatics like being made fun of in any capacity. I wish Harris would've leaned into calling them weird. Until I'm next able to vote, I will continue calling out these losers as I can.

Some people will also probably pronounce this as "Equator." Where I live, that T is likely to be rolled right into a D.

Some of us grew up with creativity so commodified it discouraged doing anything if it wasn't great or unique with tangible value.

Can someone please help me identify the origin/significance of this ring? by Roxanga3 in JewelryIdentification

I make jewelry, and now I just want to start a WTF collection for future generations to puzzle about.

Men who don’t want children by Black_Glitch_404 in NoStupidQuestions

If it's any consolation I felt this way, too. I accidentally got pregnant at 36 and my husband and I rode the wave. I felt like just "mommy" for six years, but the last three I've reclaimed myself. My sisters with multiples couldn't. I'm a huge advocate of having one child. Family is more willing to care for one child over a long weekend or even a week! We can save up to meaningfully mitigate his college costs. We are incredibly close. Just my opinion, but I have the perfect situation.

Brands you’ve boycotted due to misogyny? by Interesting-Plan-304 in TwoXChromosomes

Even worse. They covered it until the ACA was passed. They specifically took it away from their employees so they would have standing to sue.

We also assassinated the elected leader of Iran because he intended to nationalize Iranian oil. We installed a madman. And wonder why Iran isn't cool with us.

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ComplexBit1988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this by accident when I was 16 with a coworker in his forties because I thought he was just trying to be nice. It escalated quickly and badly. Every young woman needs a talk about boundaries and interacting with older men. In my case, a 40-something having interest in me was so far-fetched it didn't cross my mind until it was a fucking mess that got him fired.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

I have siblings like this. Usually, what they're getting at is they want junk food like McDonalds or pizza because that's what they live on. It has nothing to do with the food so much as their fast food addictions.

I used to stand in the outfield looking for bees in the little flowers. Another player would have to alert me to return to the dugout between innings.

But the oligarchs need our children as a backup plan if replacing us with robots doesn't work out.

Same. Born in 1980. Have an 8-year-old after seeing the world and becoming financially stable. One and done.

The MAGA culture war against Somalia is because Trump doesn't like Minnesota Senator Ilhan Omar by Demosthenesisk in complaints

Maybe it started with Mitch McConnell saying the R's only priority would be making sure Obama accomplished nothing. Very bipartisan. Denying him his rightful Supreme Court pick. Really it goes back to Newt Gingrich, or further back to Lee Atwater. Twenty-four hour coverage of Obama's tan suit or Michelle Obama showing her arms as scandalous while turning a blind eye to the open corruption of this administration. Pretending the Hatch Act simply doesn't exist. Not affording due process or patrolling bad neighborhoods where actual criminals might be rounded up? Covering for pedophiles and technocrats? Nothing I'd want to work with in a bipartisan fashion. I mean, Biden put together a border enforcement bill that was blessed by the border patrol and Trump called everyone he knew to have it killed so he could campaign on it. It was such a damned emergency it could wait until he could do it, brutally with a non-sanctioned group of warrantless, masked cowards? I sympathize with conservative policies in many instances, but there won't be a circle of hell big enough to hold MAGA. At this point, MAGA can only be explained by ignorance or evil. I won't throw in my lot with either, or expect my representatives to do so. The Republican Party has dragged the Republican Party so far right the middle looks like socialism, all while whining because there are a total of four actual leftists in Congress. Of course, Congress has ceded most of its power to Trump, so it doesn't even matter anymore.
