ICE wasn’t prepared to face amphibious units.

I think a part of it, in addition to what's already been mentioned, is that we autistics are frequently PDA, may refuse to comply w/ rules that aren't logical, and can have a rigid view of wrong vs right, all of which make us naturally oppositional to authoritarians. Can't have that now, per MAGA

A press conference/pity party followed by missle strikes on Chicago, LA, Portland, and Boston. By god, he'll show the committee that he Can pacify a whole damn country, even if it has to be his own

But it's being applied far too broadly, imo, and not enough actual jerry posts are being no'd. This will help bring the focus of JN! back to the manymany jerry posts that deserve it.

I would like to live in a castle and be able to throw a 90mph curveball, and I have made the same progress towards those aspirations as our president* has on his.

Thune: "The president would like to overhaul Obamacare and give people health insurance that is higher quality and more affordable."

He can only cum if they recite a certain particular sentence that's 14 words long together. They start chanting it on the 84 stroke

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Ryan Grim @ryangrim.bsky.social · 8d

After announcing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina, the White House now says it's pausing $18 billion in funding for NYC infrastructure projects

Here in Denver, we take PNW names and say them in ways that just destroy visitors from Seattle. I think it's a neat thing cities do to each other.

You know you're adapting to life with ADHD when you start purchasing Thanksgiving stuff 2 months prior, as spontaneously as you think about it, because you know if you write it down instead you'll just lose the list.

Getting a Starbucks is like getting a Total Wine. It's not gentrification itself, but it primes the neighborhood for people who get "just a little" lip filler at the aesthetician studio next to the pho shop. When the weed stores start looking like Scandi design furniture stores, move.

How many yoga/pilates studios have opened in the last year? Are they fighting each other?Is there a coffee-house that makes you feel like you invaded someones living room? Does the bike-repair shop in the alley behind it have a QR code on the door for appointments?

I latched onto that X like a drowning swimmer who finds a life raft. I didn't know what the word asexual meant (or that it even was a word) but I knew that Sharpied X kept me from having to answer any uncomfortable questions about boys

Not the bollards fault that drivers don't READ THE FUCKING SIGNS

BOO-stion of the Trenches @bastion-of-hope.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe the world would have less incidents of vehicles stuck on bollards if we didn't hide some of the bollards underground in the streets and then raise them when cars are over them.

All of these phrases are referring to the animating spirit, the soul, the lifeforce in humans or animals ( English doesn't recognize plants or rocks as 'alive' in the same way)
Ghost means spirit, so 'her spirit left her body'
The bucket is the body, so if it's kicked over, the spirit spills out

English is difficult because L1 speakers tend to rely heavily on euphemisms to avoid directly addressing borderline taboo topics like death or intellectual disability. The purple phrases are all used in casual conversation, but they're not considered "proper" English by English speakers.

Since you live in a place that rarely gets colder than 40°F, are the blankets for you or her?

Are you planning on staying a single-cat household or have you written your intials on a piece of kibble, tossed to the wind for the CDS to find?

Miss Heidy @msmyers17.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting! I'd say the reverse. Cold pizza is just toast with too many toppings.

I do not accept this. The midnight snack is a ritual, not a choice.
There is a set order to the ritual.
The fridge opens.
The cheese comes out.
The crackers are gathered.

the question all of us must face ever looms, and there comes a time that we none of us may turn our eyes away. should the midnight snack be leftover bbq chicken pizza or leftover cajun pasta salad

Specifically, the "vanilla" flavored Burnett's. It was disturbingly..thick.

Saeed Jones @theferocity.bsky.social · 2d

The youth don’t know how good they have it. We were drink Burnett’s vodka out of plastic bottles. Uphill both ways in the booze, lord Jesus. It was terrible.

As a Rockies fan, I agree. Why does everyone else get to watch a baseball game and feel joy instead of pure heatbreak and despair?

Alex Kirshner @alexkirshner.com · 3d

Dodgers vs. Phillies is such an interesting matchup for me because everyone I know on the computer pretends to be a Phillies fan but everyone I encounter in real life pretends to be a Dodgers fan. And I don't really like any of you because I don't like seeing people take joy in baseball

Running away from your life is difficult when all forms of transportation make you grind your teeth. I'd walk, but my knee just laughs at ideas like that.
