I’m with you. I eat a mostly vegan diet with a whisper of being pescatarian here and there. Please don’t come back and lecture me. I know I’m doing a better job than 95% of people so will not respond to anything that doesn’t welcome those who are trying to be better for the world with a block.

Same! I also feel a mismatch in the negative direction, which is honestly what concerns me so much.

Absolutely true. I should have instead said I’m shocked, because what I’ve seen doesn’t support this.

I haven’t been to a movie theater in ages for these reasons, plus more. People have also lost movie manners, so I’m done. I have no interest in watching a movie with strangers that don’t turn off their phones. You know what IS awesome? Watching a movie in our own living rooms. Read the room.

We dressed up to fly when it was enjoyable, and we felt fancy doing it. Now that we’re sardines in a tin can being hurled one way or another with little regard to our comfort, we have to dress appropriately.

This can’t be true. I’m one of those people that goes to the grocery store at least every 2 days, and I shop most often at HEB and Trader Joe’s, which have the best prices in Houston, Texas. I’ll even admit prices rose while Biden was President, but it’s nothing like how they’ve spiked since Trump.

Seriously. Those are terrible. I haven’t been a fan of any of the Texans’ rebranding over the past year or so. I mean, the font alone kills it.

It’s lovely to sit back and watch unfold. I only wish we had more insight into the back room arguments.

Same. The psychiatrist diagnosing my son focused on him fully until his official diagnosis, then he looked at me and asked if anyone had ever talked to me about my adhd. I couldn’t help but laugh since the whole process I kept thinking, “isn’t that normal for everyone?”

I’m a former recruiter. I know STELLAR recent graduates up to probably the age 25 who check every box and can’t even find decent job openings, much less get a response to their application when they do. They’re polished, professional, and graduated with honors from top tier universities. It’s unreal

My BFF moved there 5 years ago. I’ve visited once… also, she and her husband are now more right leaning than they used to be. Go figure.

Any human who doesn’t feel this way should be put on a watch list. My standard response to anyone who claims many Democrats are in the Epstein files is, “I don’t care who’s in them. There’s literally no one on earth I don’t want prosecuted if they rape children or are involved in sex trafficking.”
