Edit: Stand Down, the event has ended, and we've returned to DEFCON 4. Your support was felt in spirit, if not in the flesh, and your service is appreciated.

 

There is of course a "no politics" rule, which means they get to "accidentally" drop little comments then titter in apology, but no one gets to reply.

And the last thing I'm going to do is make a scene at my wife's family's house with my wife's family on my wife's birthday.

So here I sit, stewing, and I don't even have access to anything intoxicating.

Please send a few hours of amnesia and something cold to drink. And earplugs? How about a national emergency requiring us to leave the premises?

Living well is the best way. Start bragging about how great your life is.

Well of course it’s better than it was last year, I wonder what changed snicker snicker

Then brag about how great it is to help the people in your neighborhood. How your relationships are great and all of the fun things you're doing. Make it about real life and not politics.

Now that people have stopped relying on the gubmint for what we used to provide for each other, communities are finally coming back to fill the void, isn’t it great!

God I feel dirty playing nazi’s advocate

"Oh yeah, of course there's never enough, so I feel super needed right now. Super glad I don't need Social Security or Medicaid, cuz that would make me bankrupt or homeless. I go all around my state, it's gorgeous here because we take care of our parks. Our state really takes care of our citizens."

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
