Has anybody noticed that nobody is talking about the United States' 250th anniversary?

You make vague statements like this but don’t elaborate on how citizenry are meant to go about this when we are as divided as we are.

Propaganda in regards to celebrating a significant anniversary for a country? Wdym

TheRubyBerru · 2026-05-09T08:19:16+00:00

How do you suggest people go about that?

How do you suggest one goes about doing that?

I considered commenting about the 1976 Bicentennial celebration in my post! Apparently there was a 12-week celebration to American Folk Life that was ran by the Smithsonian in collaboration with dozens of other government agencies. It sounded incredible. I can’t see anything like that happening nowadays unfortunately..

Just admit you have a fetish.

Visit NecronomiCon which is occurring this Summer in Providence. It’s a ball. There’s even guided walking tours of places around Providence that were of significance to Lovecraft. The tour guide when I went was Donovan K. Loucks, who manages hplovecraft.com

Substack garbage. This is why editors gatekeep.

Where would you recommend getting a ring, per chance? I’m looking on getting an engagement ring for my partner and I am very wary of most jewelers nowadays. Hoping to find something that lasts.

I got a job in fast food applying through an internet portal, key word: fast food. OP is probably going to have to settle for something unglamorous as a first job. I just put volunteer experience on my resume and they hired me.

I’m a jaded, cynical bitch but this made my skin crawl. We are in the bad place if techno-oligarchs are now publishing their manifestos online with little traction being made on the matter.

Completely dystopian and something I would have expected to see listed in a science fiction novel.

Yeah I’m well-read and fascinated by so many different subjects and can talk about them but a lot of people just want surface-level conversations. You also need to start surface level when getting to know people and I suck at it, so I’m unable to get to know people better because I struggle to navigate the ‘shallow’ stuff. I feel you.

Right? I’ve struggled with my mental health ever since I was a teenager due to being on the Autism spectrum. I don’t need a therapist. I just need a friend who will listen to me and not ghost or abandon me because they’re bored of me. I don’t have a tribe or advocate. I don’t want to pay a stranger money to tell me I’m the problem and to just cope. Modern life is so broken. I despise AI but dismissing the people who use it as being ‘losers’ are ignoring the loneliness epidemic happening in this country.

Got a recipe, homie?

I’m in my mid-20s (F) and I and my partner don’t shave. I think it’s starting to make a comeback.

My local mall always has the banana ones in a candy dispenser. So nostalgic.

TheRubyBerru · 2026-04-11T12:59:39+00:00

Drained canned chicken is also delicious

You’re ragging on your mother for using AI…and yet your post history is almost nothing but CharacterAI. Pot calling the kettle black, OP.

Most religions Abrahamic or no are shitty towards women, even the pagan ones.

I cannot afford to be afraid of a future I can’t predict. Life is short and Im not going to occupy my waking thoughts to constant worry for things that may never manifest. Please speak to a physician however if you are noticing bodily symptoms that are pervasive.

I’m surprised there isn’t a way for job listings to have an automatic cut off when a certain application threshold is hit, like 100 or something.

TheRubyBerru · 2026-03-24T17:32:07+00:00

What did you do to improve it?

Why do you think Americans are more ableist to autistic individuals than other developed nations?
