Years ago, I flipped through an issue of the Young Republicans magazine, and H2 was always their plan. They made it very clear in an article.

Bought my small place in 2015 and it’s paid off. I’d only move rn if I was paying 100% cash. A bigger place would be nice, but also know myself; that extra room for guests would turn into a storage room.

When my dad redid his 1950s bathroom he was going to do this. I was like dad, no. I ran over and did it right my next day off.

While my cat mostly leaves cables/cords alone, my goat (rip) loved them and I ended up duct tapping any slack they had to the back of each device.

This is excellent news, and it will allow lots of people, including renters, to reduce their energy bills without all the red tape.

It’s hard when every other commercial here is anti-wealth tax and I’ve yet to see one supporting it. If one is a low info voter, welp.

I had a new neighbor complain that I was playing my piano at noon. Luckily, my other neighbors told the newbie to stfu when he tried to get them on his side.

I’m such a late bloomer thanks to childhood trauma being late diagnosed that I’m still blooming in my early 50s tbh. 0/10 would not recommend but the last ten or so years have been a fun journey of discovery.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

I’m always happy to hear campus PD get thrown under the bus like this asshole DA does here. In my experience, campus PDs are a major part of the problem.

A week ago, someone slashed my tires in my condo’s gated parking area. First question the cop asked was, “Did you piss off your boyfriend?” Ah yes, this was my fault, thanks officer.
