Can Boomers play? I have an active Gmail account from fall of 2004 in the early invite days. I actually have 3 (three) real name no numbers gmail accounts.

You first.

I mean it would have to be absolutely pathological for her to give the speech she gave while knowing. Which I mean possible considering who it is, but yikes.

I can't imagine her knowing and talking like she did about what "we" are going to and about "meeting with the President."

Two cute blue cartoon penguins hugging.

It's a rif on the post he was quote skeeting.

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and-

"I wouldn't if i were you"

The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby.

He raised the sword again.

"Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

A small mostly black Chihuahua who has somehow gotten herself caught in the middle of her person's neck pillow. Her right ear is turned inside out.

We have a little ritual: when she climbs on my chest for pets I boop her nose with my nose

Patty is utterly adorbs but not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Smol point of order: a beanbot large enough to plant my bum on is unlikely to qualify as "small". But would absolutely love one of these.

"I didn't actually MEAN the racist quip, so it's fine, right?"

FOH

Patty, a nearly all black Chihuahua, curled up in a bag of crocheted shawls.

Peer into the void.

Any particular Q word? (It's possible I'm just dense.)

Would absolutely putter down the right lane of I-81 and wave as people pointed/laughed. In fairness, I only do 4 miles on the interstate but it might be fun.

A tweet from Loomer saying pretty much the same thing about trans people as she said about Muslims.

I mean...

A tweet from Laura Loomer: These people are sick. It's time to designate the transgender movement as a terrorist movement. Trans people are a threat to society. We can't allow them to continue killing people. They need to be socially ostracized and the President should make medical transitioning ILLEGAL in our country.

I mean not much euphemism in the below, either. Or in the many Latinos and other brown folks being detained in hellish conditions for months with no due process.

He is a journalist. He can take strong exception to Loomer's statement without saying Muslims are uniquely impacted. It's just not true.

“Three-day special military operation in Iran” has real “we’ll take Kyiv in three days” energy (extremely derogatory)

"It was never a consideration."

I dunno, maybe it should have been?🤷‍♀️

Currently veeery slightly red. Like 0.27%.

You missed the part about jokes having a humorous aspect, huh.

I took up crochet late in life, and had barely reached the level of competent before folks were encouraging me to monetize.

No. I just want to play with yarn.

That's quite an accomplishment. I can only do that with shoulders, which is easy mode.

Do you get stress/anxiety hiccups? Either way, my empathy ...

free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better

Four black and tan Chihuahuas in one lap.

I've heard that said so many times, but either we have a big puddle of miracle exceptions or it's not that universal.

The long haired young lady giving the camera side-eye is a half-sibling from a previous litter, but the other three are litter mates. They are quite well adjusted for Chihuahuas.

I am personally ambivalent about DST or not, it's the transitions that fry my poor brain. "Pick one, either one" is my position.

I think it also depends on how the questionis phrased. Remember that a lot of us are boomers who either own a home outright or have a mortgage based on prices back in the day.

Ask me about MY home's affordability: 🎊

Ask me about my kiddos situation: 🤬

I think irritation is very compatible with the urge to smash things flat.

Ditto but I think the gradual stepping back helped. Presented with the archaic letters and spelling whole cloth I think my brain would have struggled, but getting them incrementally like that made it surprisingly accessible. Until, as you said, 1100. At which point the light switched off.

No. I have a weird "want his ratings to suck" fetish. Because that hits him straight in the narcissism.

Leave me alone, those are emotional support shoes. (Yes shoes, sue me).
