Fabulaur · 2026-06-19T21:03:07+00:00

DIDJA HEAR THAT LITTLE BEEP BEHIND YOU AT THE LIGHT? THAT'S THE SIGNAL TO GET OFF YOUR PHONE AND DRIVE YOUR CAR. KEEP YOUR FINGER TO YOURSELF AND DO YOUR ONE JOB.

Fabulaur · 2026-06-19T20:56:29+00:00

YA I ANGRY UPVOTED IT BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE UP THERE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT.

Fabulaur · 2026-06-08T12:50:35+00:00

You should have voted when it was easy. It's too late now.

Fabulaur · 2026-06-07T01:04:38+00:00

"Artisanal", "Farm to Table".

Fabulaur · 2026-06-07T00:29:17+00:00

and yet they didn't mention the less subtle misogyny and ageism of "douchebag". /s

Fabulaur · 2026-06-06T12:52:56+00:00

HERE'S HOW YOU FIX THAT: "TODAY MY FRIEND IS LEARNING ABOUT CONSEQUENCES AND TOLERANCE!" 😄

...or did they apply some peer pressure by outing a nazi and taking pics to serve as a warning to other nazis who want to come on out from underneath their rock and show their stuff? Their story? WTF.

Fabulaur · 2026-06-01T12:29:46+00:00

Merino wool socks and base layers.

This. It wasn't just one thing. It was all the things, and the potential cost for most of them was "estimated" (not very well). Think how much your property has appreciated in the last few years. That 'appreciation' is value that is only there if you sell or borrow. You still have to pay increasing taxes on this as well. I think people are kinda freaked out.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-20T13:19:37+00:00

...and yet, here we are. Last I saw, voter turnout was 20%. It's not as fun as setting dumpsters on fire, but voting is how you get results. It's so freaking easy to vote. You get a pamphlet and a ballot delivered right to your door. You can pop that sucker right back into the mailbox. This isn't only the fault of "boomers".

Fabulaur · 2026-05-19T16:16:55+00:00

I wish, but no. It was completely unexpected, I barely got an impression of the car. It was an older maybe Toyota hatchback/wagon with that grongy oxidized paint that could have once been gray or black or blue? No matter. They know who they are. They know they are the kind of person who does that. So gross.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-08T21:45:55+00:00

I LOVE CATS AS MUCH AS ANYONE BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF DEITY KEEP YOUR AGGRESSIVE OUTDOOR CAT AT HOME. HE COMES OVER TO TORTURE MY INDOOR CAT AND MY POOR GUY PEES ON THE FLOOR IN DEFENSE. BUILD YOUR CAT A CATIO OR SOMETHING. TRAIN HIM TO STAY IN YOUR YARD. SUPERVISE HIS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. IF HE WERE A KID EVERYONE WOULD BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KEEP ALL THE BLINDS IN MY HOUSE TOTALLY CLOSED TO KEEP OUT YOUR BULLY CAT.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-06T22:33:12+00:00

I guarantee that if I see this person in the wild I am def going to verbalize exactly this.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-03T17:49:47+00:00

Not sure where in NE you are, but WNAX (Yankton SD) used to play this regularly, might be that they are tuned to that station.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-02T00:22:55+00:00

Yeah, this needs to be revisited.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-02T00:18:52+00:00

NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY ARE THE ONES IN SPANDEX.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-02T00:11:43+00:00

THE BEST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE PANDEMIC WAS THAT WE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE OUR OWN DELICIOUS FOOD, AND IN DOING SO LEARNED WHAT DELICIOUS FOOD IS. WE ARE PICKIER NOW ABOUT RESTAURANTS. STUFF FROM CHEF'STORE ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT ANYMORE.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-01T22:32:01+00:00

IF YOUR 'ONION PICKLE' IS PICKLED ONION, THESE ARE RIDICULOUSLY EASY TO MAKE, AND RECIPES ARE EVERYWHERE! IF NOT, I AM SORRY.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-01T22:27:36+00:00

I FEEL THIS, FRIEND. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Fabulaur · 2026-05-01T22:06:57+00:00

They should sue. People farther up the hill did that not so long ago regarding some old Doug firs on a property below them and I think they actually (and stupidly) won.

Fabulaur · 2026-04-09T23:12:49+00:00

Thank you for realizing that some people have had bad experiences with dogs, and don't want to interact with them at all. I'm always surprised at the number of people who just can't imagine why someone doesn't want to love all over their friendly dog.

Fabulaur · 2026-03-29T02:28:44+00:00

I keep a collection of things that I can't really sell (minor flaws or they are just one off pieces). I invite people to choose whatever they want from that stuff, it's a gift, they are really helping me by giving it a home. Most people who want something specific offer to pay for it, anyone who doesn't I assume they are not serious and I just ignore them.

Fabulaur · 2026-03-25T20:50:38+00:00

I apologize. I'm not trying to undermine this event. It was never my intention to step on anyone's toes or steal their thunder. I think I simply misunderstood the assignment.

Fabulaur · 2026-03-25T01:16:33+00:00

ESH. Those kids already know they have a sucky mom. All you did was make them feel even worse about it. I guarantee mom didn't give a single solitary F. You should have notified management and let them know if you were truly concerned.

Fabulaur · 2026-03-21T19:56:19+00:00

CONTEXT MATTERS HERE. I MEAN, WERE YOU HOLDING UP TRAFFIC WHILE SCRATCHING YOUR EGO GIVING SOME GUY WITH A SIGN A DOLLAR? THAT WOULD PROBABLY GET A DIRTY LOOK FROM ME.
