The two concepts are not mutually exclusive.

My toddler's bestie does this and her parents always apologize but no, damn I love that she's got a friend who's got her back.

My kid's the social butterfly and she's the pitbull with a strong sense of social justice. They're gonna be just fine

When I turned 18 I got to meet my biological mother for the first time and she brought her brother for emotional support. I chose a local coffee shop to meet at not knowing they had belly dancing events

Cut to the "belly dancer" grinding on my newfound uncle

He's as if Eddie grew up to be a real monster

Does she tell people the kid's trouble socializing is because she has Icebergers?

I know FIFA is corrupt but damn

For her first theatre experience, the Goof was super excited to meet a "real live princess" and insisted she had to wear her "special princess outfit.

It was jeans and a flannel

My union's annual raise is next month and as Shoppie I hear a lot of griping about how we're pricing ourselves out of work

Motherfuckers, do you not see the gas station numbers on your ride into work? Everything has gotten expensive why shouldn't we?

I made ~14% more '25 compared to '24 and yet it feels more 8precarious than ever. My go-to meal stretchers, canned soup, have gone from a buck seventy-five to almost $5

New renters down the street put up an appeal to heaven flag and now I'm slowing down as I pass them in the street trying to sus out their tattoos

This has honestly been a great mantra. Turn that stress into power

Every day I go to work I have the potential to cause tens of millions of dollars in damages and every day I don't they should thank me

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.

The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.

We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

I'll let you know. I've been repeating my foreman's instructions back to him verbatim and he often responds "No why would you do that that's stupid"

Also the women who make it in the trades tend to be more focused and have a critical eye for what can go wrong, which when you're building pharmaceutical-grade clean rooms is an indispensable skill. A 10 second question can save you 10 days of work fixing what was wrong

I selfishly want there to be more women on my jobs, because all the macho assholes flip out and get themselves fired. Makes my job as shop steward a hell of a lot easier in the long run

Shittiest guy on my job is out with the flu and I feel bad about how funny I'm going to find it when he comes back to find his hated work-enemy was made foreman over him in the other building AND they just hired a woman.

I think they hired her because they want to fire him

I stopped at a place Saturday I hadn't been to in a month and as I started to order the girl at the counter interrupted "No. You promised I'd get to pick your food next time" and made me a delicious bowl

It's the taxi driver who told Harry Shearer he was a real Spinal Tap fan, unlike those posers who only hopped on the bandwagon after the movie came out

Trenton Thunder still has batdogs. Couple summers ago my toddler and I left the game early and outside their handler lost control of them during their walk so she got thoroughly sniffed

Surprised my wife and her siblings with Easter baskets filled with coffee, hot sauce and H-Mart snacks. Huge success!

As a union carpenter I have to agree with you, but living on the PA border the difference between our roads are night and day. When people threaten to move across the river for tax reasons I tell them any money they save will just be spent on fixing their car

I've never thought I was trans but this has me rethinking all the "That's weird, the dog/cat never likes men" comments I've gotten in life

The obvious test case is accidental misgendering but Damn I've been using this at work and my foreman and coworkers have been much easier to work with

I'm not never apologizing, it's just I'm starting to feel a lot of the time "I'm sorry" translates to "I'm feeling guilty and would like you to absolve me of that guilt"

Feels better to say "Thanks for calling me out on my shit. It means a lot that you think I can improve myself as a person"

I've been saying "Thank you" instead of "Sorry" lately and I feel like I've found the Konami code of life

Mixing Goo-Gone and isopropyl alcohol at work to make The Forbidden Screwdriver

The karmic beauty and torment of Swanboy Dandolos is that he's what you deserve, which is why Rona gets a steadfast friend, Cassie an earnest yet low-pressure fuckboy, and for Noel, Juggalo Bugs Bunny
