Judgemental as fuck. But also sleepy. I have lots of ideas. I should be writing right now, but reading feels more productive.

Even if I wasn't morally opposed to it, the amount of paperwork that you have to do when you disclose to HR that you are dating someone in the company is ridiculous (corp Amer). And then you have to have meetings about ✨️everything✨️. They also say it doesn't interfere with your career, but it does.

Hell no.

I have so many stories about people who dated at work, and people who broke up and how it destroyed their entire reputation. And some people got married. And SO many people were having sex in offices. And people were having affairs in the office...

No.

Literally laughed in my second response to you, but congrats for not paying attention and jumping ship with a non-excuse?

This is what they do so often though. And it's not just elected officials, it's dems in general. When you start calling them out and telling them they're not being progressive enough or they're being hypocrites, they jump right to the false equivalence and appeal to perfection fallacies.

I take it back. I am not interested in the answers anymore.

Because I'm capable of remaining on topic. If you want to talk about happiness, go start your own thread.

😂🤣😂 He had to have known & was going for confirmation because you change all through school to go to gym. He went swimming at or to sleep away camp. He had to have seen somebody's penis. Even if it was just two or four people, the fact that his was so much smaller. Like, come on

I'm interested in the answers, but that entire thread is fantastic and full of important information, like short man syndrome. It is so important that he listen to everyone in the thread and get the help that he needs. To speak to a professional. Also sex toys exist. Personality matters more.

I'd have to look for it, but there is some data that shows that when Black people gained civil rights, white people went out and adopted a bunch of dogs to cope. It is fascinating. Right up there with TV dinners literally being slave in a box (that one's a book)

Lauren @oglauren.bsky.social · 1h

I'm not lacking in cheer

Congratulations on adopting a dog that you're going to give cancer as most of the food that you buy at the store has a ton of carcinogens in it. There are studies about that too

We can also talk about how whites prefer animals to humans out of a need to control things...

It's funny when people say they aren't wearing a mask because "it doesn't fit their face". They don't fit your face because you don't take common health care measures. It fits the faces of people who do 🙃

We have to scour stores for glasses, despite inventing them, because they don't fit our faces

Is there a music moment you wish you hadn’t missed out on? For example: I wish I hadn’t missed Kurt Cobain/Nirvana and Radiohead.
