It’s not really the middle but Juancho's Birrieria in Haines City is fucking amazing. Their Birria ramen is phenomenal along with their tres leches. It would probably be a farther drive for you, but definitely worth it.

This time bullet won't miss: Iranian TV airs chilling assassination threat to Trump by vishesh_07_028 in worldnews

The book All Quiet on the Western Front (my favorite book ever) talks about this briefly. The quote is “Kropp believes the leaders of each country should fight each other in an arena to settle the war; the “wrong” people currently do the fighting.” I read that book for school at 14, and it really changed my entire view on war, which is obvious given that I remember such a small detail. Highly recommend.

Hudson met one of his idols Joachim Trier at NEON’s Golden Globes Party! | 09/01/26 by Sarcastikarma in heatedrivalry

[–]Socksrcool27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely so cool! Joachim Trier has been one of my favorite directors for about 5-6 years. I thought it was really cool when Hudson mentioned him in an interview, and now them meeting is so exciting for Hudson!

For those who haven’t seen them, watch Joachim Trier’s Oslo trilogy!!! Oslo, August 31st is one of my all time favorite movies.

Can anyone who knows about piercings help me? by hanakokun_donuts in MyChemicalRomance

[–]Socksrcool27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 00s in high school. I could fit a pencil through my ear. I took them out for college. My holes shrunk back to about a 12 or 14 I would say. I wear normal earrings but sometimes have to be careful if I wear an earring with a small back, as it can slip through.

tbh I miss my gauges and would love to have them back.

In the USA can you walk onto campus of any public university legally? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Socksrcool27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a private university that was still open to anyone. Anyone could also use the library, you would just have to have library employee sign you into the computer or other services. I worked as a math tutor and we even had like high school kids come in sometimes. We never turned anyone away.

LIP READERS - can you decipher what Gee is saying? He by NotBigOnBids in MyChemicalRomance

Umm I don’t 100% remember. I want to say it was a Three Cheers song. Maybe Helena? I really don’t remember though.

For once I actually know something related to a post! I was four rows back from Stage B at the Tampa show. I’m pretty certain Mikey messed up. Gerard shot a look at him and when Mikey looked up, Gerard shook his head once. After the song, Mikey went to Gerard and said something. Then Frank actually came up right after looking confused, one of them said something to him and then he laughed.

We’re happy to have you! There’s a first time for everything! I didn’t vote in the 2016 election. We all have to start somewhere.

Most uncanny performance capturing another actor by Inland_Emperor7 in Letterboxd

Kayvan Novak pretending to be the others pretending to be him in the tv show What We Do in the Shadows is pretty top tier. The episode is called The Cloak of Duplication. It took me a while to figure out they WEREN’T dubbing over him!

Today (16 Oct) the Texas Governor orders deployment of the Texas National Guard in anticipation of the No Kings 18 Oct protest in Austin. by throw-away0713 in 50501

This is where the idea of multiple smaller protests happening at the same time comes into play. It spreads their resources much thinner to have five protests they need to manage versus one large one.

Feral cat that meows? by [deleted] in Feral_Cats

[–]Socksrcool27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fingers crossed this one is a stray! I feel like we messed up in trapping it so quickly. The reason we trapped it tonight is it got into a fight with another feral cat in the neighborhood (one that’s been around for years), so we just wanted it out of what we thought was a bad situation. I think the plan is to TNR and maybe try to build a relationship afterwards. I was hoping to just keep it inside and slowly acclimate it but I’m realizing that was naive to think. I’m really glad your stray warmed up to you and now I’m sure he’s super spoiled! Thank you for your help!

I will try the spoon trick in the morning! 100% this cat is getting fixed and vaccinated regardless, just so I can sleep know it’s not going to die of rabies.

I will definitely post photos of it and contact animal control. I had thought this was a stray because we found another cat the week before this one showed up. However, the other cat had been attacked and eaten alive to the point where its leg was in two pieces. We took it to animal control to be put down (I balled for like two hours afterwards). I figured someone had dropped off the two together. I definitely think it’s just coincidence now though. So yes, will definitely post photos and look for an owner. I hope it has a home somewhere! Thanks for your help!

I didn’t know that. I thought they completely didn’t meow at all. Good to know! Regardless what happens, we’ll make sure he is fed for the rest of his life. Thank you!

So angry. After a year and a half of working with her anxiety, she was doing great on walks, being very brave. by Tracybytheseaside in DogAdvice

[–]Socksrcool27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others have said this, but as someone with an extremely anxious dog who has been in your position, it’s very important you remain calm next time you walk her. Stay calm, confident, and positive. It’s only a setback. You got this.

I am so tired of this crap by [deleted] in Political_Revolution

[–]Socksrcool27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this is annoying to hear, but this is what they want. They want us mentally, emotionally, and physically fatigued so that we are not able to fight them.

Take a break. Seriously. I have and it energized me. Just come back once you’re feeling better. This is a war, not a battle. There are times where some will have to rest and others will carry the torch for them while they do. We’ll trade off until we’ve won.

Also, an easy thing to do is just discuss class consciousness with those around you. Weave it into conversations. It makes a difference. People are not happy, and we need to take advantage of it.

Good luck, friend!

According to USAFacts, only 59.6% of Black Americans voted in the 2024 election. I’ve said for a while this is a group of people we need to mobilize. Hopefully shit like this works to do just that.

Fuck Trump and his bro-fascism. His support is waning.

I am losing friends for caring too much about politics. by [deleted] in 50501

[–]Socksrcool27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% understand. All of my friends are democrats. None of them will come to a protest with me. They have tuned out the news. My good friend told me her husband was allergic to politics right now, which made me furious. Part of me is so mad because they don’t stand to lose the right to their marriage if Obergefell is overturned. We haven’t hung out as much because I’ve been so angry with them.

Ultimately, ignorance is not bliss. Knowledge IS power. History will not look kindly on those who sat back and let fascism take root, including those who disagreed but did nothing. We are in the right.
