I fell off a walking path into a bunch of massive rocks Wile E Coyote style five minutes into sight seeing with my brother who I hadn’t seen in 10 years. I managed to hobble away with only a grade three sprain and some horrible bruising. It’s healed now but perpetually stiff. My new normal is walking down stairs like a 95 year old.

In my Volkswagen Beetle once. It was exciting in the moment but looking back it was pretty meh.

Cognitive dissonance. People see themselves as rational and intelligent and anything that counters that is very difficult to accept, so they double down.

We sold our rural starter home in Dec 2020 and made a decent profit, which we used to move back to the city in June 2021. We definitely overpaid on the purchase price (not a lot of choices in our housing market), but our rate is good and the payment is doable, so I think it was a good decision.

People talking about wanting to lose weight or dieting. It’s one thing to say “I’m going to skip dessert because I’m watching what I eat” but more often than not, it turns into this dark, self hating thing, e.g. “I gained so much weight over the holidays, I can’t believe I’m up to X lbs, I look so ugly.” Women especially seem to bond over these conversations and it makes me really uncomfortable and sad to be honest.

I don’t think that definition is widely accepted. I think most people generally believe racism is characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

If you are white and call yourself white, most people would not consider that a racist statement.

That story made me sick. The criminal justice system in the US is unimaginably cruel and fucked up.

What is the reasoning behind this? What is the issue with just checking IDs like they do now?

Burgerville is sooooo good.

The worst typo I ever made was texting my friend who is a Black woman that she needed a bigger TV. Unfortunately the b & n are right next to each other on the keyboard and I wrote one of the most offensive words ever. Even though it was an innocent mistake, I apologized profusely to her.

Never mind the issues with dehydration, I could not be alone with my thoughts for that long.
