And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it's 4am so you definitely won't be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

Back in basic, almost every black person in my division got what was called a "shave chit" which was basically just a piece of paper saying "this recruit doesn't have to shave every morning for medical reasons"

And having seen them try in the first week or so to shave with everyone else, yeah. Fuck shaving every day anyway, but why would you purposely force someone to essentially slice their face off little by little wherever hair grows???

I remember my mother taking me into a store when I was a child where people were striking.

I asked why they were yelling since I couldn't read the signs. I was told "because they're lazy and think they should be paid more than people like your father"

It was many years before I understood what they were mad about, and that they do NOT believe they should be paid more, they believe everyone should be paid more but they only have control over their own employment.

Nowadays whenever I see employees striking, I give them a little fist out the window and a meep meep and shop somewhere else.

Don't cross picket lines, your nacho cheese or deodorant can be bought somewhere else. Bonus points if you call the employer to inform them that you are shopping elsewhere until their employees conditions have been met and they decide to end the strike.

I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.

Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.

So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a "PLEASE TAKE ONE!" sign on top.

It's too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn't count as having a fan.

Local city is doing fireworks at 10pm.

I'm too old for this shit, just don't wake me up.

My Christian relatives are big fans of the Bible, supposedly.

I believe there's something in there about "from dust we were made, to dust we return" (paraphrased) so it would even be biblical, as long as we dry and pulverize the fertilizer!

This is sounding better and better. I do want a much bigger garden so I can grow more of my own food...

Well depending on your diet, that square could have been fertilizer, so I'd say it was considerably more valuable than any claims made by ICE.

Don't undersell your own shit.

And all they ever accomplish when trying to show force is to look like scared little bitches.

If you are going to make a principled vote in the name of sending a message, I think it’s only reasonable to be honest about the effects of that decision.

Oh my god I feel this so much.

Did you take a stand and stick to principles? Yes! Congratulations. But if you cannot accept that in doing so, you effectively voted for whatever you felt the majority of votes would go to.

I am related to several people who voted 3rd party, are adamant they did nothing to assist Trump getting elected, but ALSO hold the opinion that congressional members who vote "present" instead of yes or no are cowards hiding behind a "no vote" because they want the majority to win but they don't want to be on record for it.

What is a 3rd party vote if not "present"?

Lol I say I agree and I get shit on
