We do about $300/kid. We haven’t increased that over the years with inflation.

Kid’s are all grown up now. A couple years ago we started having everyone make Amazon wishlists. It was too difficult to figure out what everyone wanted. The wishlists make it easier for everyone. Also, we can put all our purchases on an Amazon store card and get 12 months interest free.

(I know. Amazon.)

Last year I also gave each kid a $300 Amazon gift card because everything sucks, and I didn’t want them to feel pressure for the holiday. I’ll do that again this year.

It probably seems crazy, but it works for us.

There were some things that could be interpreted as prayers, but the vast majority were not.

Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

Why would cats pray to themselves?

Similarly, Trump hasn’t shown much gratitude to the country for forcing the release of the Epstein files.

They need to make it clear that this is just another in a long line of attempts by the US government to kill off all the Native Americans.

If you frame it right, it might _increase_n vaccine acceptance.

Probably not.

Native Americans: get your vaccines, save your people! After the idiots in the US government kill off all the white people, maybe you can take everything back!

“Indian” in this case refers to American Indians. The Indian Health Service is a US Federal agency.

OH MY GOD!!!

When I was in college, a computer lab coworker asked me how long I had been dating my girlfriend.

I told her 6 years. She said, “Shit or get off the pot!”

That was the moment I decided to propose. We’ve been married for 33 years, together for 39.

When people ask about the proposal, I tell that story, and end with, “…so I decided to shit.”

Maybe I’m not looking deep enough into the question, but wouldn’t this be because we do the easy parts first?

I’m just thrown by you saying you have a vendor that sucks donkey balls. If you only have one that sucks donkey balls, that seems unreal to me.

My group supports around 65 applications, and I’d find it a hell of a lot easier to list the vendors that don’t suck donkey balls.

I think there’s one. Maybe.

Honda has a policy of not making political donations.

They don’t just placate MAGA. The Toyota PAC spends money to support MAGA candidates.

They spend on each, but generally more to Republicans.

That’s only true if we make it true.

Vote for progressive candidates. Kick out Republicans and establishment Democrats. The only chance we have for a bloodless revolution is if we insist on it in the voting booth.

The fascists are already winning. Voting for fascist-enablers isn’t slowing them down.

Clearly some folks took “never again” to mean, “Never again will Jews be the victims of genocide. They’ll be the perpetrators instead!”

Just, “Who is Bubba?” over and over.

It’s actually more like 21%

I was thinking, why does it matter what AOC or Mamdani or anyone says?

Shouldn’t people just vote for who they want to vote for?

The Republican healthcare plan is that poor people should just die already.

That’s also their plan for food insecurity, the housing crisis, energy costs, and climate change.

Diversify and just ride the general economy.

I think for most people that means some weeks you buy food, some weeks you pay rent.

I’d argue that he’s just trying to claim that the reason no woman has ever gotten pleasure from sex with him is because he didn’t want her to.
