  • Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you’re saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.

    I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.

    This is a worry and problem I’ve never had and don’t really understand. One of the joys of social media (including the fediverse) is that you’re judged by what you say and who you are, not what you look like. As a lifelong fat slob and general ugly person, I appreciate that.

    I welcome anyone bright enough to chat intelligently, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, religion, disability, age, etc.












  • Everywhere I go I’m usually the oldest person in the room, and I’ve been hearing that line since long before I’d ever heard of Donald Trump.

    Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.

    And Bernie’s right. I ain’t arguing.

    Sure is a bucket of swill we’re always forced to drink from, though.

    What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we’ll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.
