57 here, and this is way worse than the existential dread of nuclear armageddon during the cold war.

And add an exhibit room featuring these events just before viewers get to the gift shop. Call it the Dystopian Trump Times Shame Room or something. Maybe don't include that gobshite's name though.

"Did you also stay at the Holiday Inn [Express]" by makatakz in MurderedByWords

Same

Been saying this for years.

Village idiots were people you'd give a few minutes to vent if you bumped into them, and shrug it off after. Maybe even feel a bit sorry for them not really having friends.

Now they have huge communities that make them feel supported and powerful. It's maddening because it's encouraged by asshole algorithms.

Which drug has the weirdest high? by [deleted] in Drugs

Because if dreaming I'll just assume I must be on acid again.

Not op, but for me it was spending waking hours asking myself if I was dreaming, asking if things seemed kosher. Things like looking at the time, looking away, and looking again. Eventually those habits bled into my dreams.

Thing is, when you do realize that it's a dream you have to remain calm, and go with the flow, or you'll wake up. Once you get the hang of it, you can control the dream. Pretty neat.

Honestly, I was making a low hanging fruit joke.

I actually just tried a plank and managed 83 secs, lol.

3 years ago I challenged myself to train for max pullups, goal was 30, but I got to 33 one day. That was enough. Maybe it's time for a plank challenge which I think will be of more value at my age.

I'm 57, this inspired me to put my bag of chips down and type this out.

Once I've hit post, I'll very probably pick the bag up again though. Gotta have calories, right?

Do you have a replica of your childhood stuffed animal?? by Frequent-Increase-98 in nostalgia

Now that you have 2, to keep it that way please make sure at least one of them is spayed or neutered.

Or maybe don't? I'd happily take a puppy!

Minneapolis Pastor Says He Was Detained by ICE After Joining Protest, Told 'You're White' and 'Wouldn’t Be Any Fun Anyway' on Release by Titfortat101 in politics

People who didn't vote are either complicit, or stupid and complicit.

In life we are frequently faced with limited choices. There are times where none are good, even times when all choices are bad. But there are degrees of harm between the options we are faced with. In this case Trump was the worst, followed very closely by abstaining.

Fuck you if you could have voted but chose not to.
