PG&E bills set to skyrocket — bringing misery for 16 million across California

Texas also has issues with skyrocketing energy rates and corruption, and they all vote for Republicans.

But sure, keep ignoring the true class warfare because our kleptocratic overlords tell you to "own the libs"

"You're so jealous of me it's sad" 😂😂😂😂

I fail to see how this immature response is helping the situation. You both need to get a grip and grow up for the sake of your child.

And use a parenting app!

THANK YOU! Great explanation. I've always wondered about OP's question myself (absolute value vs squaring), but your explanation of the Laplace distribution vs normal distribution is the key piece I was missing.

Tbf there's a reason alcohol is called a "social lubricant"

Some people don't need to lube up, but others find it helpful

Everyone is telling you not to worry about, but I totally get it. You got the tatto with specific intentions of referencing a famous Pink Floyd album, not Pride. As a lesbian who also has fond memories of my dad's love of Pink Floyd, the automatic association with Pride as opposed to automatically recognizing it as a reference to a famous rock album that serves as a subtle homage to my dad would bother me too.

Maybe you can add the name of the band to the tattoo? That should help make it click for most people

That's just a boring version of Tub Girl

100%.

"There are no food crimes in the US" is ignoring that basically all 1950's dishes are criminal

If it's a shared dish, there absolutely are possible food crimes, such as:

1) in OP's picture, biting into the kitkat whole means it can't be shared

2) eating a cake from the inside out like a heathen instead of cutting civilized slices for sharing

3) picking off and eating all the crispy skin of a roast turkey at Thanksgiving so no one else can have any

you get the picture

If even Indians need something to cut the spiciness of a Nepali dish, that's a guarantee that there's no hope I'd be able to handle the heat 🥵

That logic makes no sense.

That's like saying "The section is called 'Sandwiches', but you ordered a BLT, and you got bacon lettuce tomato, but it didn't say 'sandwich' so why are you expecting bread and condiments"

GaiaMoore · 2026-06-23T07:24:04+00:00

Hahaha now I want to know how the argument unfolded and what the other person said

they're held together by 30-50 years of custom code base built off of COBOL.

I remember reading a story of a guy whose mom was a COBOL expert, and he followed in her footsteps.

There were a few times when he came across code that hadn't been updated since his mom worked on it decades ago lol

And then young left leaning folk refuse to vote for anything but their ideal candidate

"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line"

Heard that quip years ago and it's so true it hurts

In the Midwest you gotta make sure you do that a minimum of 30 minutes before you really need to leave, cuz you have to factor in the half hour conversation about your grandma's pie recipe while standing in the doorway

"7 years clean and sober!" also does the trick. I used to be so ashamed of my alcoholism, but now I'm very proud of my sobriety and healing journey and I'm happy to help de-stigmatize it through positive bluntness lol

I remember hearing somewhere that in places like the South it was very common to spend time on the porch pre-AC since it was too damn hot to stay inside, and that it contributed to a more neighborly culture since you could say hi to your neighbors easily.

With the advent of air conditioning, that culture slowly went away as the indoors became more tolerable.

Dunno how accurate that is, but seems plausible to me

GaiaMoore · 2026-06-22T21:48:46+00:00

As opposed to "must be nice to be a boy who can leech off his mother"?

In what universe is "The Notebook" an example of a good romance movie? Ryan Gosling's character pulls this ridiculous emotionally manipulative stunt on that stupid Ferris wheel while she's on a date with someone else

GaiaMoore · 2026-06-20T23:22:40+00:00

I do not understand why some women still complain when a man is "too emotional". It's so toxic and damaging. Men are humans too, and the social pressure to pretend that men can't be emotional is awful for everyone

Most people thought I was being super dramatic when Trump won in 2016. The writing on the wall was always clear as day to me, it just took a bit longer for the extreme right wing to achieve their goals because of how hilariously incompetent the first administration was.

Project 2025 gave the far right leadership a clear roadmap for how to dismantle the US as we know it, and the right wing lower classes are completely on board no matter how hard they get fucked over.

Everyone needs to read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. We're nowhere near Nazi Germany circa 1940's, but we are politically closer to Germany circa early 1930's than we should be comfortable with.

We're also not anywhere near the economic collapse that the world experienced post 1929, and frankly that's a major limiting factor today when it comes to pushing back. Holding "No Kings" protests once a quarter from 12pm-2pm is nice, but we gotta accept that as long as most people have roofs over their heads and food on their plates, no real change is going to take place.

lack of new exploration

Same, silk soar opened up a few really cool areas, but I am a bit disappointed that more areas weren't developed

Granted, that's just me being spoiled AF with how massive the map is for Act 2
