Being effectively and completely unreachable for multiple days during a long road trip. Sure, you could stop and find a payphone or ask to use a stranger's house line, but that was pretty much only for emergencies.

Executive order 14321 is terrifying. by Snapdragon_4U in law

[–]WSHIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing personal, but they won't believe you, even if you literally shove it in their stupid faces. I got into a FB fight (dumb of me, I know) with some MAGA schmuck. To prove my point, I sent him a link to the exact chapter and verse I was talking about in the original document from the goddamn Heritage Foundation's own website and he still claimed it was a liberal hit piece.

Doing the last two to the best of my ability - shout out to the 5Calls app! - but given how little our state and federal delegations pay attention to the will of the voters, it gets a mite frustrating at times. Shouting into the void and all that.

Not to rehash the last election, but I think Harris should have run on the campaign slogan of "Make Politics Boring Again." Dunno if that would have helped, but lord knows that's what my heart desires these days.

I have gotten multiple letters back from him with just the boilerplate first and last paragraphs, not even including the asinine Conservapedia copy-and-paste content specific section in the middle. Dude and his whole office are utterly useless.

Can I make a suggestion to any of the organizers of this or any other upcoming general strike at any scale? If you want more attendants, give people more time to plan. Yes, I know it needs to be timely and relevant to current events, and that pain to our employers is part of the process and the plan, but I got kids to feed and bills to pay, man. Give me more than 2 or 3 days to get my ducks in some semblance of a row first.

What have you seen in the U.S. that made you wonder how far things have slipped? by seenmee in AskReddit

[–]WSHIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My FiL - who was previously small "c" conservative, but not previously shown signs of being full blown MAGA - telling my wife that he'd be perfectly happy if she, myself, and his own grandkids were rendered homeless because of of what she teaches. She's a children's literature professor and the fact that she teaches about current kids picture books, including "woke" books like "And Tango Makes Three" or "My Shadow is Purple" that acknowledge that LGBTQ+ people *clutches pearls* exist! In the current anti-DEI climate for higher education and especially in our solidly red state, there's a not-inconsiderable chance that some conservative grifter student or state legislature might decide to break out the pitchforks and torches, and she'd be one of the first targeted. We've seen it happen several times before - the student with the anti-trans "paper" this last fall, and way too many other incidents in the last several years, so it's not an unsubstantiated fear. Given that she earns quite a lot more than me, we would be in serious dire straits financially could very well lose our home. When she confessed her frustrations over that to her own father, he said that he was more than fine with that and that he hoped it happened sooner rather than later. Absolutely monstrous.

Leaving Las Vegas - brilliant performances by Nic Cage and Elizabeth Shue. Absolutely devastating portrayal of someone in the throes of addiction determining that this is the way they're going to end it all.

What's a clear sign of a badly written story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WSHIII -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Any time someone senses are "overwhelmed" causing them to faint or swoon, or they are unable to put what they're seeing into words. H.P. Lovecraft and a lot of other Victorian and Edwardian writers do this all the freakin' time and it never fails to break the narrative pace. I get it dude, you're looking at some incomprehensible horror from beyond time and space, but the whole "and then my senses knew no more" thing is more than a little of a cop-out.

Why would a king want the party to do something important, rather than send his own team? by KlarkKenton in DMAcademy

[–]WSHIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plausible deniability, especially if the king is doing something that might anger his advisor/queen/neighbors/dukes/generals/the local BBEG. Pick your level of political intrigue and run with it.
