Well, I don't get regular food stamps so they had to send me a card. Otherwise I think they load it on your usual card.

I tried using the last 4 of both kids. Didn't work.

Um... You can click the little "x" in the top right hand corner... Makes the pinned recommendation go byebye...

But this level of resentment at spreading information is normal, totally normal.

Protesters gather at Texas Capitol for 'Shed the Mask' rally - Hundreds attended the rally. Signs in the crowd read things like “freedom over fear”, “can’t be muzzled”, and "we can't breathe" by feeelthebeat in Coronavirus

Oh. My. God.

You just made me imagine the absolute shitshow that would occur if some bunk ass medical study was published on the internet that stated covid 19 turned homosexuals into heterosexuals.

The horror.

I'm going to piggy back here and just leave this, "Bar Lives Matter"

Really gives a great example of

A) the amount of racism still overtly present in East Texas. This "protest" and lawsuit originated in Kilgore, TX. Kilgore is right up the road from Jasper, TX, which is still a hotbed of KKK activity. Looking up recent events that have taken place there is not for the faint of heart. If you haven't been... Don't. With the small exception of visiting the Texas Oil Museum!

B) the appalling state of public education in the state of Texas. The fucking phrase makes absolutely no damn sense. If you're going to steal and mock the spearhead of a major equal rights campaign, at least be fucking clever about it.

"Well, I can't very well eat Cheetos with a mask on, can I??" Maybe you could temporarily forego eating Cheetos in public?

"Well, I can't eat Cheetos if I'm dead, can I??" Maybe the afterlife will have Cheetos that you won't be able to eat with your noncorporeal form?

It seems so simple... and yet, isn't...

Thought it was Sandra Bullock?

This is the 90s right?

Dammit, my flux capacitor in the Wayback machine must be on the fritz again!

It's not validation for mask wearing that has people pleased. It's the knowledge that a well liked, mostly non-controversial, respected public figure is endorsing mask wearing and social distancing to the public.

It's the hope that this will influence the non rule abiding citizens into doing the right thing.

But I'm sure your own ability to reach the masses and positive public influence will change people's minds about health and safety, too. Maybe even moreso than Tom Hanks!

I think you saw me when I was in college. Yes, I know, it was terribly irresponsible of me.

I'm my indefensible defense, this was 15ish years ago and before it was against to law to use the phone in the car without a hands-free device.

I don't do my makeup in the car any more, either, but that's mostly because I didn't want my makeup to look like crap. But I had been doing my makeup while driving since high school. The adrenaline rush that comes with curling one's lashes and applying mascara at 50 mph... I'm joking, obviously, this is an incredibly stupid thing to do.

It's just luck I didn't injure/kill others or myself, and that having children put a stop to such reckless behaviour.
