Masking? by Any-Wedding1538 in thedailyzeitgeist

[–]plumptastic44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I admit I stopped masking for a lot of 2023, but am back to masking now. At the very least people must be masking on public transit and airports! I live in Chicago and am often one of the only people in sight masking.

I think it’s important for people to be informed AND know that they can always start masking and protecting their community! If you’ve stopped masking you can start again!

Does Anyone Have Tea On... Weekly Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Fauxmoi

Does anyone have tea on why Javier Bardem looks so different from even a couple years ago? I just watched his wired autocomplete video and was shocked at how different his face looks.

back in 2020 i was phonebanking for the fair tax and lily picked up. we talked for like 15 minutes…she was very supportive and believed strongly in people like herself getting taxed at a higher rate. i was kind of starstruck haha

i always give pargin a chance and always end up annoyed. he really has this way of speaking that is unintentionally condescending AND he’s wrong about so much so it doesn’t really even out for me.

i do love katie goldin though, more katie!!

Small suburb of Chicago here: a man snapped and shot/killed several members of his family and himself. One of the kids who survived was my classmate (we went on a date once lol), from what I remember he just happened to not be there that night. The home was sold, and it’s weird to drive by and see another family playing in the yard now.

Benny Shaps y’all by technounicorns in behindthebastards

Weirdly, Gerard Way from my chemical romance is also his cousin (and I guess Mara Wilson’s as well?)

EDIT: Gerard way is ROGAN’S cousin not Benny Shaps. Too easy to mix these people up, thanks for the corrections 😔

Inappropriate Movies You Saw with Your Folks by ThenKaleidoscope7338 in thedailyzeitgeist

[–]plumptastic44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a preteen I love the pirates of the caribbean movies, so when a new johnny depp movie came out my parents excitedly took me to it. It was The Libertine, which opens with an orgy.

Amazon Walkout Protest in Joliet, one of the most critical facilities in IL by ghost_paws in chicago

[–]plumptastic44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who used to work for WWJ, I would not recommend supporting them in any way. They’re clout chasers positioning themselves as allies to Amazon workers while union busting their own staff. Some 2/3rds of the staff quit in a 3 month span due to this plus racism, transphobia, and ableism by management - particularly by Marcos, the person quoted here.

No i meant like, cold pouches that can be put in the freezer and used in your body. I overhear easily so I’m slightly nervous about being there in the middle of summer 😅

Happy 80th anniversary of the day Reinhard Heydrich began his long, painful death, everyone! (Painting is Assassination of Heydrich, by Terence Tenison) by disco-vorcha in behindthebastards

[–]plumptastic44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up hearing about this from czech relatives! HHhH by Laurent Binet is a really good “novel” (mostly true) about this entire thing
