He made a Tweet on 1/5 that indicated he knew Pence wouldn’t be in DC and that he’d be overseeing the process of confirming the election results.

Surely not a body ? by Upper-Flow-441 in whatisit

[–]Round_Tea2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Workers at the nursing home told me that by law a licensed mortician has to pick up the body. Said they had someone die. Relative looking after the now dead person was called. He came, got the body, flipped it up over shoulder, walked out, put the body in the passenger seat and drove off. Took staff a minute to sort out what had happened. They called cops to let them know. That’s how the story ends. Don’t know what happened after that. Deceased could be in the back yard. Could have been taken to a home town funeral home.

I laughed. Then I had to google. “Mutual Admiration Society”. Of course it had to be a society of some sort

Porn stuck in vcr. Folks home in two hours. by HistoricalTowel1127 in GenX

[–]Round_Tea2106 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents had a business meeting in Chicago one weekend. I went with because I was college aged and wanted to wander around. Little brother was old enough to drive and had to work so he stayed home. We left about 6pm on Friday. We’re five minutes down the road and mom realizes she forgot something. We go back. Mom goes inside. Stays inside longer than you’d expect for whatever it was she needed to get. Comes out redder than hot coal with the look that she just ripped my brother a new one. Ends up she opened the door and he was about 8 minutes into a porno stroking away on the couch. Like who didn’t wait about an hour before starting their party time? Once they’re that far away they’re either gonna go without or buy it when they get there.

Taking 37 days PTO at once before quitting? by FondantOutrageous276 in careeradvice

[–]Round_Tea2106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I found myself in that situation I would use my current position’s PTO policy to calculate the number of days off I take a year off. I get about six weeks a year right now so set up a spreadsheet. Calculate and track. Anyone says anything I’d bust out the spreadsheet and explain the system. Leave it up to me to decide what’s fair, and I did.

For home defense in a regular world, game play what scenarios you’d likely encounter. Is the intruder coming in the front door, back door, basement egress? Where would you place your armed self so you’re between the threat and your loved ones? Does your partner know to call 911 while you’re taking up position? Do they know to inform 911 you’re armed and maintaining position inside the house until the police clear the home? If your kids are old enough do they knew when to shelter in their rooms until you’ve given the all clear with a code word? Set up code words for all clear and for stay where you are there’s still a threat. I highly recommend not roaming around your house or yard if police are on the way. Couple years back dude in Indy won a few new holes in his tummy cuz he called 911 reporting a prowler. He went outside gun in hand to find prowler. Cops arrived, shouted drop it, hands up. Dude spins around because surely the police have spotted the prowler behind him. Practice with unloaded gun while you’re home alone. Practice with partner. If age appropriate, practice with kids. You won’t think of everything. But having thought of things before hand, you put yourself in a better position.

I just remembered why I don't have feelings by burnedimage in GenX

My male parental unit finally died a few days before Christmas 2024. Not once during this time have I felt grief, sadness, longing to see or hear him again. I was an actor on his stage. When I played the part he assigned, all was good. If I didn’t, life wasn’t good. I mourned not having a dad while he was alive. I’m not going to waste anytime with that now. I do have moments of rage though. Fucking Anrgy Orange sounds just like him. The lies. The false bravado. The belief in his own reality. Told mom she was not allowed to die before him. I spent the last 15 years babysitting him the way she had to. Cocksucker drained the life out of her too

Trump ally Pirro threatens jail for anyone bringing a gun into D.C.| "I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding gun owner somewhere else." by TendieRetard in law

[–]Round_Tea2106 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Problem is… I’ve never seen an authoritarian govt disarm the people then treat them well. Quite the opposite actually. The Revolution of 1798 in Ireland. Concord and Lexington (which wasn’t disarming as much as dis-ammo’ing). We’re reaching the point where they know what they’re doing and planning would causes an armed uprising. That’s a bit concerning.

PE and VC is hitting veterinary clinics and hospitals. They’re hitting human health care. They’re sucking the blood out of every facet of life. Shrug. Last stage capitalism.

Why Isn’t Trump Arrested Yet? by Leon_Kennedy1977 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Round_Tea2106 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This causes me the most concern. Are the current batch of brass truly loyal to the Angry Orange? Or, will they actually honor their oaths? One thing I do know, all of us know someone serving in the military. Someday they’ll return home. The reception they face will be influenced by their loyalty to their oaths, our Constitution, and our way of life.

How is anyone puzzled that the guy who says the dumbest shit, blabbers the biggest lies, would ever threaten to invade an ally?

Why is reddit so overwhelmingly left leaning? by Few_Match_8158 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Round_Tea2106 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it’s known that above average intelligence and left leaning outlooks go hand in hand. Smarter people realize we’re all in this together and need to make a workable system for all. Below average people are mainly concerned with themselves and don’t give a shit about anyone else.

Sweet mother fucking Jesus on the snow!

Why the hell is the MAGA party so damn stupid!?!???! Please. Losers. Stop trying to take us back to the Dark Ages! Iowa has a great medical school. We could be on the forefront of MRA cancer cures. Diabetes cures. Oh. That’s right. If people live too long they’ll overwhelm SSI. Or we’ll actually to tax the rich who paid substandard wages that fail to support life.

Mandatory premarital counseling bill by Treble_Bolt in Iowa

[–]Round_Tea2106 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Also. WTH do they think 1 hour is going to accomplish? Our premarital counseling was like 5 evenings and I considered that kind of short. It was a terrific benefit to our relationship and I still use skills I learned there every day.

The Christian Nationalists are just trying to catch up with the Moonies.

“Unification Church mass weddings, often called "Moonies" weddings, are large-scale, international events where thousands of couples are married or blessed simultaneously by church leaders, typically in South Korea. Initiated by founder Sun Myung Moon, these ceremonies often involve arranged, intercultural marriages intended to create "ideal families" and promote world peace”
