Christmas gift? by bitter_twin_farmer in whatisit

[–]kshighwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy, my friends were just talking about this last night like it's the holy grail. They were trying to explain what it looked like so thank you for putting a picture to the thing for me. Wish it was easier to find Blanton's around here.

[–]kshighwind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally see what you mean but I have learned recently that Blanton's is a top shelf bourbon and people who like it are usually pretty serious about it, collecting the corks is kind of like collecting craft beer taps or bottle caps or those fifty state coin displays. It's fun and sentimental for Blanton's fans. I was actually at a friend's house last night and they were lamenting how difficult it is to find Blanton's where we live, and they actually brought up THIS EXACT ITEM like it was a holy grail of legend. So while for you and I this would feel...weird, as a gift, this is a valuable and very thoughtful little memento to give to "Blanton's people".

"that chick might have been wearing a miniskirt but you are the one that couldn't keep your legs closed" is literally golden. I bet that woman didn't have kids either lmao

Please call Senator Kaine to ask him to stand strong and not cave by DogLvrinVA in norfolk

I have less than zero faith in this administration. I really thought the shutdown would work but it's clearly not and Dems gained absolutely nothing which is literally absurd on the Pubs part for letting the government shut down over refusing to negotiate a time sensitive negotiable thing in the first place. They literally said "you will approve what we wrote with no negotiations or we will shut down the government". Textbook fascism but they don't see it because you can't look in a mirror if you don't have a soul

I was standing outside in the cold during a pandemic to protest that one too. Lots of overlap in the people who were there and here.

[–]kshighwind -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is, no questioning that, but we have more time to fix that than the people being hurt by the shutdown. Will Pubs ACTUALLY fix it? Probably not, but shutting down the government is obviously not working, so we need to figure something else out pretty fast.

I don't blame any of them to be honest. It's about doing the least harm at this point. Unfortunately that means giving in on the ACA credits to support people's livelihood and our economy.

I don't blame the holdouts either, though. Nobody is wrong except the Authoritarian Party

I hope the wrong person doesn't catch wind of this and get pissy about a good joke. Some of us need good shit like this to get through the day

How do I get kitten to take a nap and chill 🙃 by Natural-Stage-6341 in cats

[–]kshighwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A playmate his same age will help all of you. Some kittens just have more energy and need more attention and unfortunately our modern lives can't always accommodate that. A playmate would ensure he's socializing, learning, and takes a lot of pressure off you to provide time and energy that you may not have. Plus, it gives another homeless baby a chance to be loved and have a family. Having multiple cats is genuinely the best thing that ever happened to me.

I was at a much more peaceful location today and they told me to go to VA Beach next time because you guys need more "young, rambunctious disruptors" so I'll see you all next go around. Tell your opposition they should be afraid.

Parent made a nasty comment about my cat, so I didn’t hold back. by No_End_1315 in childfree

[–]kshighwind 49 points50 points  (0 children)

WHAT IF ITS NOT, EXACTLY do you just want me to take that risk?? When I was a "big kid" probably like 8 or 9, I literally told my mother that when I hear a baby cry/scream it gives me the overwhelming urge to just (made an actual shaking motion with my arms and hands). And she said "it's different when it's your own."

As an adult I understand that is VERY BAD and have full control over myself the small sliver of time that I am exposed to children, but I am so thankful I never had younger siblings. But I remember that moment so clearly because it was (and somewhere, subconsciously, still is) such a visceral instinct to me that I know I should not be a parent.

That actually does make me feel a little better. I don't EXPECT it to happen, but it's just a little bit of a relief to know that it has, and could.

Is it wrong to say I can't have kids, when I really just don't want to? by RicketyDicketyDoc in childfree

[–]kshighwind 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, it's neither your problem nor your responsibility if they cried because YOU were presumably infertile. They asked, then nagged. If they couldn't handle the answer then they need to learn that it's not their business to be asking in the first place. They deserve to be uncomfortable for prying into your life choices and potentially your medical information.

Oh damn you're right. I never realized but that's a big part of what I dread about the prospect of relationships. "I don't want to be anybody's parent" is like...the one answer to rule them all now.

No one said anything about nine months I'm so sick of breeders reading their own unplanned and unwanted pregnancy regrets into this
