And I know half these people probably think I worship satan and kill babies, but still, not encountering terse, sullen people at every turn really does make a difference, especially when you're going to places you don't want to have to go and dealing with difficult stuff, you're sick, etc.

I moved from NYC to semi-rural Alabama (didn't have much of a choice) and one thing I noticed is how many of the people you interact with in public were miserable and more than happy to share their misery back in the city, and here receptionists / front desk people are almost always nice and cheery.

Meanwhile AI does nothing but lie and make shit up.

We’re NOT gonna let them kill 13 million people this time, okay folks? No we are not gonna be able to stop them without being mean to them.

I. Love. Her. She does the things I like to think I would do if I didn’t have a severe Anxiety Disorder. 😆

That’s insane. No you cannot print something I did not write and claim that I wrote it! That’s uhhhhh FRAUD.

So they’re planning to put out fake articles, written by AI, and SAY they were written by an actual, living reporter? Am I reading that right?

Oh no. Really? It has been several years.

They don't need to violate any law, it's called malicious prosecution, the regime just has to not like them. And since the regime is basically the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and KKK all rolled into one, they don't like the SPLC.

Yeah this is exactly what happens when people empower the terrorist organizations to take over the country 😫🫠

Sounds like I'll need to resume my regular donations to them.

Yeah, I'd only be willing to do it for a year's worth of my every expense being covered that's for sure 😆

Well, some of us with dented brains can repeat, "I'm great with names" 2700 times a day for ten years straight and we will still turn around and forget your name.
Sometimes people observe something about themselves because it's true, rather than saying something until it BECOMES true.

Well, they said *for public consumption* so I think you can write all you want as long as it's not anything you intend to sell or promote yourself with. I think I'd take the year and improve every skill I have. Take classes in watercolor, acrylic painting, sketching, practice, practice, practice...

WHAT
This is very good news!!

I really feel like Mainers are being given the choice between a shit sandwich, a giant douche and some write-in candidate who has been completely overlooked and kept out of media and debates, etc.

I think a point of confusion here may be that I think the OP may be using ‘liberals’ as opposed to ‘progressives and leftists’ and you might be using ‘liberals’ as opposed to ‘conservatives.’

He is a little crosseyed, but I'm pretty sure the nose is from doing coke.

Well, shucks for us!
Also, Bluesky...you okay, B-dawg? Why you asking me if I want to translate "I'm in Northern Minnesota"? 🤣

I'm guessing those "segments" are the "segments" that haven't personally had any loved ones blown up, say, in their elementary school classes...

Weird how it happened to not be anyone I knew at all and I never met a single one of them.

Omg I can’t imagine, I imagine my young self looking up, puzzled, and saying, “Did the tv just tell me Steve Irwin is going to die…tomorrow?”

It’s not just you, it won’t show for me either, and I desperately want to see it.

Oh my gosh, this sign is perfect! Did you make it? Do you live anywhere near NE Alabama? If so bring it to my gallery! If not, I’m gonna make one. That’s the message, man.

Oh, thank goodness. I spent too much time today trying to figure out how that would have SOUNDED.

Just a closeup selfie of me next to some petunias that match my hair.

Ohhhhh, me of my favorite flowers of all time! And the exact one I based my hair on!

(Photo next to petunias because they were there and there were no fuchsias available)

Personally I just wait til after 10 am to confront any atrocities.

Oh I feel this statement in my BONES. Sorry you're going through the same.

I've been trying so hard to start running for over a year, but every time, the tendons in my feet & ankles just go straight to hell and I'm back at square one. That being said, I'd never feel like a brand's "messaging" pertained to me in any way. It's all just some dumb snarky shit, always has been.
