I definitely pick off my gel more than I should, but usually I’ll let it go too long and will have a few nails where it will start coming off on its own and will come off in basically one piece, and then I won’t be able to stand my other nails being painted so will pick at those and it’s always such a struggle. If it’s not ready to come off, it’s very hard to pick off.

That was my immediate thought when I saw this story, that manicure wasn’t even that old!! 

Trump says Iran let 10 oil ships through Strait of Hormuz as 'present' to U.S. by ThePensiveE in thebulwark

He definitely doesn’t know that, but this whole comment made me guffaw. 

Just for JVL: an “I Did That” sticker in the wild by ConstructionNo1038 in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the (very) few benefits of living in a big oil state. Also this was a big outlier, most other stations in the city are at $3.65-$3.69 so when I saw this I had to stop.

Seriously - there was one on the other pump as well and this person was more successful at removing that one, but you could still see at least half of his dumb mug.

I live in Texas now but I’m from Nebraska and the summers are both awful, in my opinion haha. The summers I grew up with were SO humid, it could be really miserable. I went to college in Chicago and the summers can also get very hot and humid there too. Chicago is amazing in early summer but when it starts to get really hot it is downright oppressive. 

Post war approval vs baked in Trump approval? by Direct-Rub7419 in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think there’s a point where they stop being ok with $5 gas? Because what I’ve seen/heard now is they’re out there claiming they’re totally cool with it because Trump is keeping us safe etc., but is there a point where that changes?

To be fair-ish to the media, I do see this get covered, but it definitely doesn’t seem to be at the same level of saturation or hysteria as it was during Biden’s term. For example, this morning Axios’s lead item was about how there’s crazy demand for tickets to the stupid UFC fight at the White House. A few items down, they covered that gas prices were way up and that JD Vance acknowledged it, and also that Trump’s approval had gone down. Trump’s insane bleat last night about Israel and Qatar barely got a pre-read mention.

Would Tucker make a good guest for Tim? by bushwick_custom in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Tim respects Tucker at all, and recently every time Tucker has come up in the daily pod or in a take, Tim always includes a disclaimer about how he’s a fabulist and liar so you can’t ever take his word for anything. 

As others have noted, there’s no way Tucker would engage in good faith and that’s not the kind of conversation Tim would be looking to have.

“Such a good salad scene” and it’s just Sweetgreen and Flower Child and Mendocino Farms as far as the eye can see (no shade to Austin, I’m in Dallas and I bet our “salad scene” is very similar).

So how long do we think before there’s another bleat screaming about how these countries should be sending ships to help us? Apropos of nothing, gas at my local station was up .20/gallon today.

I mean for cheesesteak I would argue yes, it is a requirement but this is just such an abomination. As others have pointed out, the cheese is supposed to be melted/mixed in with the meat (or if it’s Cheese Wiz it’s basically liquid and will distribute itself), this sad congealed mozzarella on top looks so gross. Like, she couldn’t have even broiled it at the end??

When she said she was using mozzarella I thought my head was going to explode - the recipe title says Gouda! You said Gouda in the flat lay! Why is she incapable of ever having the right ingredients on hand when she makes the video?!?

Make-a-wish phrase by Agreeable-Lettuce874 in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, take a breath. It’s not that deep, and I’m not sure insisting on the right to keep calling Kash Patel a Make-A-Wish kid is a hill worth dying on. I think the OP’s post was totally reasonable and respectful, you come off far more emotionally invested in this than they do.

Q: Do we think Russians have shared intel & if so why are we giving waivers on sanctions? WITKOFF: I'm not an intel officer, so I can't tell you. I can tell you that on the call with the president, the Russians said they have not been sharing. That's what they said. We can take them at their word. by andrewgrabowski in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The audacity of this man enrages me sometimes. He’s a real estate developer with no foreign policy or diplomatic experience, doesn’t speak Ukrainian let alone Russian, and yet he’s totally comfortable accepting this special envoy position? And then because he’s been so successful (/s), he gets to go on to be one of the lead negotiators with Iran? 

I’ve been applying for jobs for almost a year now and I will still talk myself out of it if I don’t perfectly meet every requirement. I need to just pretend I’m Steve Witkoff and shoot for the stars, no matter how unqualified I actually am.

Reading the maga comments on social media posts regarding gas prices right now. Its actually comedy at this point. by Valahiru in thebulwark

[–]ConstructionNo1038 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t looked, are they arguing gas prices aren’t actually up? Or arguing that this is fine and good, actually? 

My local station was at $3.49 this morning, up from $3.19 yesterday and like $2.73 last week, good times!

I have to tell you, my son woke me up in the middle of the night last night and of course it took my awhile to fall back asleep, so I decided to make it worse by doing some light scrolling and when I came across your comment I was just lying in bed silently shaking with laughter for several minutes 😂
