We have shifted from using MR (mentally retarded) to using ID (intellectual disability). Even before that change, we tended to say MR instead of retarded, i guess because of the way it gets thrown around negatively and feels uncomfortable to say. Similarly, people are using autistic negatively to describe someone who's quirky or introverted, narrowing what's seen as 'normal'. If you have to ask if it's ok to say something, other people will probably have a gut reaction to you if you say it. Whether that matters is up to you.
We could hang out together. Then i might not be the loud one for once.
Change 'listen to' to 'watch' and I'll rewatch Eternal Sunshine for the first time.
No nightmares... $100/yr and it mostly goes to landscaping at the entrance and repairing the wall when cars drive into it.
I've somehow managed to completely miss all of that. I rarely see any right wing content anywhere. I almost never watch videos filmed in portrait rather than landscape. Maybe that has saved me?
We torrented so many movies, so so many movies. It quit being a question of what we wanted to watch and just became a game of how much can I get today. Then I just wandered away from it one day. I never received any letters. I do have a friend who got a letter from Lucas.
I think it might be kind of nice to be Tom Hanks and have the name WilsonsOnlyFriend@lemmy.world and just chat and chill.
"And that's why I call it witchcraft, because it has the effect of planting and reinforcing thoughts in the mind of the listener that defiles perspective. This makes it easier to manipulate people."
Huh ...
How great would it be if they walked out on stage to find that Tim had a podium and Vance had a love seat?
Free quality healthcare worldwide. If i take two people with me, can i also have a cure for Alzheimer's/dementia and affordable food that meets minimum daily requirements.
Oops! Friend reported this is not his. When he sent it to me i thought it was original . He was sharing it to me because he thought it was cool. Super kudos to the original artist. Sorry!
I'm in Dallas Texas. No state income tax, but property tax is about 2% of home value, so even if it's paid off your looking at ~$500/mo on a $300k house, which is about the minimum in the city here right now. If you're over a certain age that's reduced a bit. If you had decent insulation here on a smaller house and you're cautious with your AC use, you could probably get away with electricity of $100/mo most of the year and $200 in the summer. I think my water/sewer/trash is about $60 a month and my gas is about $60 a month. Our home and auto insurance is high in Texas. I'm cheap, so we use 5g internet for $30/mo. Gas is $2.70/gal here today. I threw a few things in an online grocery cart and screenshotted so you can see our food prices.
