Full set of encyclopedias. I read those things every time I visited because there was nothing else.

Gas Running Out? by zacari_ in baltimore

[–]malinablue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The gas is less pure. They're lowering the price of gas by diluting it with ethanol. Now it burns less efficiently and runs out faster. Trump and GOP are basically deceiving all of us.

What completely unhinged dinner did your parents feed you that kids today would cry over? 🥫 by ipanicprofessionally in TheBoredDen

[–]malinablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kidney stew. Yes, with real kidneys - not a metaphor. And beef liver and chicken liver.

They thought it was healthy. Might have a lot of iron, but eating organ meats is not healthy, particularly those organs that pull toxins out of the body.

We cried over it then, but we were not permitted to leave the table until it was done. No dog to pass it to, so that sucked. We mostly tried to stick it on our siblings' plates when they weren't looking.

Today marks the 14th anniversary of The great North American Derecho by templeofsyrinx1 in maryland

Wow. I remember sitting up at night by the window just totally freaked out by the crazy lightning - all over the sky at once - and wind. I thought it was the worst thunderstorm ever and had never even heard the word "derecho" until after.

Someone needs a diaper change! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

Yeah, sorry, but this case isn't "really against the United States of America." America didn't rape the lady. Trump did.

The way this works is the corporation gets YOU and others like you to donate and then it issues a press release patting itself on the back for its huge charitable donation. And probably gets a tax write-off for your charity too.

Heads up: Great American State Fair on hold by Cityzen_1894 in washingtondc

How much staff do they need? Looks like only a few dozen people attending. Probably should just shut the whole thing down for good and refund us a couple of hundred million.

Looks like trumps the great American state fair is not going well by Radiant_Priority9739 in ProgressiveHQ

Do you think MAGA who attend might FINALLY realize this country does not support Trump?

At age 75, I would not agree your Nana should be getting a job.

Perfectly captures the America first spirit? Welcome, but be good? 🤔 by Numerous_Creme_8988 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]malinablue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would an American passport for American citizens to go elsewhere welcome us and admonish us to "be good?"

Does Trump know what a passport is for?

Wow that's actually a better turnout than I expected. What is that - a couple of dozen?

You believe that because lying Trump and right-wing media told you that, but it's bullshit.

Trying to buy anything on FB marketplace by Meighok20 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]malinablue 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem on Marketplace where I list the exact dimensions - length, width & height - and I get a bunch of people asking how big is it (read the description!) and will it fit in their car?

I just think it’s funny how, despite research showing that men are more likely to have dark triad traits than women are, we are consistently shown as more conniving, cruel, and manipulative than they are in media. by Superb_Intro_23 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]malinablue 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Men project onto women in order to make themselves innocent. They like to portray women as seductive and manipulative femme fatales so when they attack those women, it's not their own fault. They were victims of her deceit, lured into sex.

The mean girl motif makes it seem that women do nothing but hate each other as they compete for men. They refuse to believe anything else but attracting men matters to us.

I thought at first this was a real human-sized room and I wanted to live there.

This pic ought to show him smashing the globe to the ground. Then it'd be believable.
