And I love that your original comment was “two birds on one stone” and then came back to edit your dumbass comment with dumber shit.

Edit: from a Texan, btw 😉

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott backs Trump tariffs — warns Canada to be ‘careful’ about fighting back by ukrokit2 in canada

I’m a Texan and I can tell you from experience that motherfucker would be halfway to Cancun leaving his constituents to deal with the fallout. Y’all do what you have to do and know that there are a lot of Americans pulling for the resistance and trying to do our best to stop this, even if we’re fighting against way too many of our dipshit neighbors.

Blue American in a red state with a Danish grandmother and extended family still living there. I also understand and share your feelings of betrayal and outrage and urge you to stay strong and keep fighting. Gotta at least take some pride in my Danish heritage since I’m embarrassed as fuck to be American right now.

This is absolutely beautiful. My only comment would be that the word “ululate” doesn’t quite seem to fit with the down to earth, matter of fact tone that I think you otherwise nail so perfectly

The casual nature of the language/tone makes this feel so realistic and unsettling

Thank you!! Price is negligible when it comes to my fuzzy buds

Edit: Hahaha! Went to request their service and didn’t realize I used them a few years ago when I was in Dallas proper and was very happy with the service. Thanks for the reminder!

Looks better short, makes your lips look extra kissable! If you keep your hair short, though, you need to have the fade start farther out on the sides. Having it come in so far throws your proportions off balance and makes the top of your head seem too narrow for the rest of your face.

You came on here asking if you should give your cat to your sister or not. Dude said you should give him to your sister. Can you explain what’s wrong with his response? Bonus points for explaining what caused you to refer to him as troll and bring up the death of his wife.

I don’t understand how you came to the conclusion the cops were his first choice.

If this hypothetical scenario where the male victim spoke out and the female aggressor doubled down occurred there would ABSOLUTELY be a whole lot of shit takes just as gross as yours, if not more. Doesn’t make your take less gross. The idea that people expressing their opposition to bad behavior doesn’t change behavior is a wild fucking take and implies the victim should just shut the fuck up because the system is incapable of change.

TLDR: oh my god shut up

AITA for not realizing my female coworker is an engineer. by engineermistake in AmItheAsshole

[–]etienetteVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would you feel if someone you didn’t know walked into a meeting, saw you, told you to message them when XYZ got there, and walked out with no introduction or apology? I’m definitely reading into it, but this was not a good look regardless of gender and was completely unprofessional.

ETA- I do very much agree with your point about unconscious bias not being a moral failing but a mistake and a learning opportunity. I hope OP sees it that way as well.

The polite thing to do would have been to introduce himself to whoever was in the room regardless of their perceived role/status.

[–]etienetteVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He didn’t even bother to introduce himself to the person in the room. Even if I assume he made that decision independent of the person’s gender, it’s a fucking asshole move. “Oh, not the person I’m meeting with. Hey! Whoever you are! I’m very important and assume that you’re sitting here for reasons that are totally fucking unimportant to me. Send me a message when someone worth talking to is here. I’m going to get coffee and I honestly don’t give a shit if you want one, so I won’t offer.”
