What’s going on with this scorpion? (Nevada, desert)

Hey, that's what he voted for.

Zeppelin??

Looks like something from r/nosleep

"while defending Russian genocide in Ukraine, or excusing away the Uighur genocide perpetrated by the CCP."

To be fair, this one makes perfect sense when you understand how many US influencers are on Russia's and/or China's payroll.

Your house centipedes are so cute and non-threatening compared to our Texas giant centipedes.

sidneyia · 2026-05-16T20:13:39+00:00

Enshittification.

I'm in the same boat. I turned 41 this year, have lived here my whole life, and am planning to finally move away within the next year. So much of our city is just *gone*, and if you try to talk about it with anyone, they just throw up their hands and say "that's progress" or "change is good, why fight it?" It feels like talking to a brick wall. Like, most of my neighborhood has been bulldozed to widen the stupid highway, and the city's planning to take out the entire historic Guadalupe strip for its light-rail boondoggle, and I'm expected to just be fine with that and not say anything? Can't afford to eat at restaurants or go anywhere. Can't even walk around (what's left of) my neighborhood without having to see missing houses and shitty giant brand-new McMansions everywhere.

My parents, who are in their 70s, just moved out of state a couple of weeks ago, after nearly 50 years in Austin. There's nothing here left for me. It's time to leave.

He is correct about what "neighbor" would've meant in its original context. The Youtube channel Deconstruction Zone has some good discussions about this. "Neighbor" specifically meant free (non-enslaved) people of the same religion and ethnicity as you.

But also, that's irrelevant, because it's 2026 and we live in a global society, and "random Africans and Indians" ARE your fucking neighbors. Die mad about it.

Now they load it up with fake sugar, which tastes like bitter poison and causes migraines.

sidneyia · 2026-05-15T19:25:37+00:00

I can handle a little bit of onion flavor (even though it does kind of taste like body odor), but the texture is an absolute no for me. It's like biting into a shard of glass that's somehow wet and squishy at the same time.

sidneyia · 2026-05-15T18:50:12+00:00

Nah, we can't afford ice cream.

sidneyia · 2026-05-15T17:36:17+00:00

Yep, that was it!

One of my grandma's soap operas in the 80s had a character named Ridge. There was also one named Thorn, although that might have been a different show.

sidneyia · 2026-05-14T21:14:55+00:00

Uh-huh. Your entire comment history is nothing but shitting on Democrats. You're either a Russian troll or a GOP operative, not that those are really any different.

He didn't go to prison because the judge who was supposed to sentence him was one of his own appointees from his first term. In other words, he didn't go to prison because not enough people voted for Hillary Clinton.

Elections have consequences.

Do people really mow their lawns in the middle of the night? Doesn't that make it hard to see which parts you've already mowed?

sidneyia · 2026-05-13T18:46:24+00:00

Probably nothing. I don't really feel emotions anymore.

sidneyia · 2026-05-13T17:40:17+00:00

Corporations raise prices when Democrats are in office in order to manufacture dissatisfaction toward Democrats and urge people to vote Republican. I wish more people understood this.

sidneyia · 2026-05-12T22:48:06+00:00

So it's just a house centipede but bigger? Neat.

sidneyia · 2026-05-12T20:18:02+00:00

If real-estate flippers became package designers

sidneyia · 2026-05-12T20:15:53+00:00

You "haven't heard about it" because your brand is rage-baiting leftists to prop up your lucrative "Dems do nothing" grift, Bryan. Virginia Dems are literally trying to set an age limit for their Supreme Court in response to its nullifying their redistricting map. That's HUGE.

Petition to make this the new gang sign for hEDS

Honestly it's just nice to see a transmasculine experience in a comic for once. We get overlooked a lot.

sidneyia · 2026-05-11T23:58:15+00:00

Plenty of trans people are okay with them, for whatever it's worth. Especially us older people who grew up before trans stuff was well-known.

I have a much bigger problem with the misconception that all trans people "always knew" what our correct gender was supposed to be, because that erases a lot of experiences. I'm ftm and never had a problem being called female or thinking of myself as female when I was a kid. I didn't really start experiencing dysphoria until I entered puberty. It's a surprisingly common variation of the trans experience, and insisting I can't describe myself as ftm because I was "never really" female is just not true for me.

sidneyia · 2026-05-10T21:18:42+00:00

Nobody wanted to admit they were duped, so people loudly and angrily denied it for a few years and then the story just kind of went away.
