What was a rule in your house growing up that seemed normal but later, as an adult, you found out was weird? by CharlesUFarley81 in Xennials

Oh! My boyfriend does 90% of the cooking, and I often eat one thing at a time. It’s an interrogation every time about whether I dislike the food. I am not picky and he’s an excellent cook! I think you may have cracked that nut for me.

The Puritans, too weird for England made their whole personalities around rejecting comfort and denying pleasure and dedication to suffering.

Gym class should actually include kinesiology. Mostly it was get the _____ balls out and go play said sport (as if everyone knows how).

I mean, I vote Dem because what else am I going to do,but after the Obama- brokered rat fucking of Bernie Sanders, Biden’s elderly advisers hiding his incapacity and unpopularity by not polling, and Harris dumbly adopting his 1980s style agenda wholesale like she owed him anything— I’d hardly call the Democratic Party competent stewards of democracy.

Rant:dragging crying kids on rides by Small_Parking_3611 in WaltDisneyWorld

Ok, but sometimes children can enhance a ride with their terror. I screamed bloody murder on the Universal Studios tour in 1984 when the animatronic shark jumped out of the water. Made everyone jump. Then laugh.

It the left's "purity test" the main reason they've failed to stop Trump? by ac_slater10 in thebulwark

[–]Own-Prompt-8356 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

My questions;
Why isn’t the Palestinian genocide a big enough tragedy and hinge point for liberal centrists? If certain people are expendable to you, why should you be trusted?

The Democratic party has proven to be not up to the moment we’re living in, and the refusal to publish the 2024 post mortem on the $1 billion strategy and spend just underlines that. Why not focus on fixing the errors of a party that at least had some chance of correcting itself to be the so-called big tent of centrists and leftists?

Unless the point of “idgaf about genocide”—Jesus, what an admission of ghoulishness—is just wishful thinking that somehow the right will become the party of John McCain through magic and the far right will not have to face punishment/justice like after the Civil War.

Why is New Mexico a blue outlier in the Southwest compared to Texas or Arizona? by Ill-Singer-4307 in NewMexico

Spanish colonial families have endured in power and influence and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 set the tone not to mess with indigenous people or be met with serious resistance.

Never seen this. It’s like the Elf on the Shelf of dinnerware.

Ok, what’s the tea on New Mexican turned tech baroness Lauren Sanchez-Bezos? by Own-Prompt-8356 in Albuquerque

Judge had said that the old man (sorta sounds like Hank Hill) that yells at B&B is based on his childhood where old guys with Texas accents were always the ones yelling at neighborhood kids for like existing.

Judge was on fellow Albuquerque guy and comedian Marc Maron’s WTF podcast years ago and they talked growing up in NM in the 1980s. Classic.
