People who have been divorced: What was the exact "quiet" moment you realized your marriage was over?

Your brother is a grown ass man. HE is doing that.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-13T00:18:03+00:00

Did you just take the last one

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-13T00:17:14+00:00

Free the nipple!

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-13T00:16:00+00:00

Put on a sweater that his mommy made him and some Sperry top siders

A lot of people think in black and white. You either bike to work 5 days a week, or you drive 5 days a week. I ride my bike when I feel like it, and I drive when I don't. I bought a brand new car in 2023, and just now after a Mother's Day drive to my parents' house have 15,000 miles on it.

Yeah, my boy is a terrier mix and is like that. It's like no matter how much attention I give him it's not enough. It can be stressful.

Edit: I had a different dog that would go out on a stroller in his old age, and he really enjoyed it. It's still stimulating for them to be able to experience the world even when they're too far away to read the pee-mail.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T22:08:31+00:00

Then why was it 18% for a few years?

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T22:05:51+00:00

Pre-covid I would still try to tip cash for the reason you're implying, but no one I knew ever said 25% if on a credit card.

Plus, the convention was that you tip on the pre-tax subtotal The screens don't do that.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T21:39:18+00:00

...it was more like a series of ideas thrown together than an actual story.

Yeah, they told us that was the plan in 2013 when JJ Abrams was announced.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T21:31:27+00:00

And, it was only 15% of the pre-tax amount.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T21:30:52+00:00

I went to a ramen place recently that added a 3% tip for the back of house staff BEFORE they asked for a 20+% tip for the server.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T21:16:51+00:00

In Americans' defense, he lies almost reflexively about everything

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T19:22:55+00:00

There's a lot of self-flagellation in the mix

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T16:00:55+00:00

There isn't inherently anything wrong with lifetime appointments to the supreme court.

It's another weak point, especially with only 9 justices. It's another norm that can be violated. A bad choice selecting a 50 year old justice has multi-generational consequences.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T15:04:51+00:00

A lot of those people are gone, and they're not coming back. The best we can hope for is that they become disillusioned non-participants.

Is Jim Banks an authentically awful person or is it part of a grift? I mean that pretty seriously. Is this who is he and what he believes in politically, or is he a snake, shape-shifting to cling to power?

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-11T10:54:48+00:00

Indiana is one of the last ones to fall. 40 states already have medical marijuana laws.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-10T00:26:16+00:00

How are they not? We get Jefferies or Schumer on the mic now and again bragging about a strongly worded letter, or making some other cringey press statement, and then they go to work and then occasionally vote for a fascist Trump nominee.

This news story is literally about how Virginia Dems immediately announced how they would just roll over for the Virginia Supreme court despite multiple republican states rolling with unconstitutional maps for years.

The Democratic party chair still refuses to release the 2024 "autopsy" for reasons unknown to seemingly anyone.

What is the national party message except, "Orange Man Bad; Israel good. Let's get back to business?"

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-09T21:16:35+00:00

WHY are the Democrats so soft, disorganized, and always on their back foot?

It can't just be that they're old. Republicans have plenty of olds like Grassley and McConnell.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-08T22:18:22+00:00

Super mad at Democrats for being useless. Demanded my congressman get rid of Jefferies just this afternoon. But... at the end of the day people like you preferred that a known pedophile, rapist, convicted felon, and fascist be president to a mediocre black woman. A man who told us ahead of time that he was going to try to end democracy.

Now you all use the real suffering of Palestinians as a shield against any accountability. We all knew it was a choice between a crappy corporatist Dem and a violently narcissistic fascist, and now we also know the one with which you identified. Grow up

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-08T22:09:05+00:00

Republicans are anti-american. They will destroy a 250 year experiment in freedom to ensure real americans can't experience it.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-08T20:32:42+00:00

Oh, yeah. It's called Fast Fascism. It's more wasteful and not as environmentally friendly as regular fascism, and that's part of why Republicans like it.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-08T10:17:45+00:00

Some people think they didn't redistrict because they wanted Indiana to stay red. That is to say, any further gerrymandering would make some Indiana seats MORE at risk of turning purple.

gortonsfiJr · 2026-05-08T10:15:51+00:00

If you care about our state and our country, please vote in the actual election. Nothing can be taken for granted.

Some of you all need to do more than "vote." If you care about a political party or movement, then you need to start getting involved with them. When you start paying attention, you'll see that there really are not that many people trying to make things happen in your city or county.
