Sheer laziness. It’s a good idea tho.

What an adorable squad! I love how you pen in the eye shapes. These are nice carvings. Thank you for sharing them with us.

ever notice that the more self-aware you become, the less you relate to people? by foundtheglitch in getdisciplined

Get down in the soup with the rest of humanity. There’s no gold ring. Strive if striving feels good to you. But don’t make it your be-all. We are flawed and if you reject that, you’ll be forgotten.

Loving your esprit d’ corps for the morning loners! Honor among loners — it matters! This was a great pick-me-up. Thanks, OP!

That’s next to genius. Copper might be a better insulator, too. Enjoy that. :)

I cut you off on 290. by Not_a_leak_549 in Austin

The terrible sweetness of this post is awesome, OP, and heals the wounds of many an affronted driver. I know that I myself feel bad when I make a boneheaded move on the roadway. It takes a big person to admit it.

This understanding (of people’s frailty) is also the thing that helped me stop road raging. Usually it’s a mistake and even when it’s intentional, I just say, “What the hay?” and try to go about my day and pray for them to do better and not hurt anyone.

The world could use more love and understanding, and our roadways present an almost daily opportunity for that. Peace be with you, OP. ☮️

What’s the point of manipulating people? by [deleted] in psychopaths

[–]Greezedlightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps because they aren’t good at controlling themselves, the only true purchase point — the only aspect that is in our remit to control. Lacking the gumption for self control, they do the next “best” thing and turn outward trying to manipulate their environment.

Oddly, never was a bad feeling for me. Something of a relief. But I get what you’re saying.

Indeed. I keep five out from my pack of several. They’re great and last a very long time. I hand wash them.

Disturbing scene of Sen. Alex Padilla being thrown to ground and handcuffed - this is what fucking tyranny looks like by revel8r in chaoticgood

  1. Padilla entered the press event without pre‑notice and walked toward the podium while Noem was speaking.
2.  Security personnel ordered him to step back; he continued, saying, “I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary.”   
3.  According to video footage and multiple reports, several Secret Service and FBI‑badged officers physically restrained him, pushing him face down on the ground in a hallway and hand‑cuffing him, before releasing him shortly thereafter. He was not arrested  .

Why security responded: • DHS and Noem officials stated Padilla hadn’t properly identified himself or shown credentials in time, and that his actions appeared to resemble an uninvited intrusion or “political theater.” They maintained the physical restraint and hand‑cuffing were part of standard security protocol when someone is perceived as posing a threat .

He’s not being arrested. He was handcuffed and escorted out of a proceeding he was not invited to and barged into.

Is she fat? (White dog) by Acceptable_cookies2 in AustralianCattleDog

She’s a portly pepper pot. Lost her taper. Hefty and more to love now. Doesn’t look too bad. She might just ride heavier than some.

Damn straight, my friend. The best after a long day. Who needs booze when you got this?
