Married, SF fan, cat lover, canine compatible, serial crafter. It's okay - you don't have to follow me. I'm unlikely to follow back. Don't worry about unfollowing, either. I know how tastes can change. New followers: your posts = CV. Nothing there? Bye!

“an airplane hasn’t crashed YET as a result of a laser pointer blinding the pilot, just NEARLY crashed, so it’s actually not dangerous to shine lasers at airplanes and all global aviation authorities are overreacting cowards” is real logic I’ve seen from alleged adults on here

Pilot blindly lands plane after eyes are damaged by laser aimed into cockpit, feds say

“You almost killed this man,” a Washington judge told the man accused of pointing the laser.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

I can be glad for you, for non-excitement: even good things can sometimes be stressy.

We're okay-ish? Friends are worse off, & I think I've failed at least one very badly indeed, while trying to deal with my own mental state.

One day at a time, I suppose. But glad to see you, thanks for answering.

It was all the soft furnishings, especially the stuff our cats liked to lay upon, that really left us feeling overworked. The basic plan turned into "wash EVERYTHING" as quickly as possible; small non-wash items into the deep freezer for a couple weeks."

Well, in this instance? We're meant to sympathize with the poor petal as he contemplates a possible win by a candidate not of his choice.

(Nice how they let their collective slip show, eh?)

"You have enslaved him. You have placed Fester under some strange sexual spell. I respect that. But please… You have gone too far. You have married Fester, you have destroyed his spirit, you have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But, Debbie…pastels?"

Loving Spouse, sweet (and thrifty!) Dutchman that he is, thought nothing of simply using the same bag once he got home... *wan grin*

(This is long enough ago that we can laugh, now. It was just *amazing* how fast we shot past simple measures like disposing of the bag outdoors.)

Fukkit. Enough of telling my inner child to behave.

Oh, hi. From 0450 local time.

Loving Spouse had used our vacuum cleaner for someone else's living quarters.

Without realizing that the cat they'd been keeping had fleas.

That was some discovery... *scratch* *scratch*

I think I need to have a talk with pre-teen me.

It might be a pick-me-up; I know & do things pre-teen me would have found deeply cool, and I've been forgetting that.

Oh goodness! How? (Or did I miss your happy discovery in an earlier post?)

Lynne Ann Morse @morselya.bsky.social · 11h

Huh.

Can't help but wonder if that was a feature and not a bug, this time.
