In high school I had a friend who would fall asleep in the shower

Injury lawyer. One of the worst people I’ve ever met.

I mean, they should, but because of what amounts to basically slave labor, they don’t cost near that much in the US. That’s the big evil of bananas these days. I love them, but I don’t buy them.

I’ve never tried roasted kiwis, but roasted peaches are absolutely delicious. What about peach pizza?

Smoke weed and listen to boring stories on headphones meant for sleeping. D&D podcasts are great for this.

You are going to have to judge your contribution and involvement for yourself. And if you need a list of reasons to strike, you can check out the general strike website for a pretty good list. My family, my community, and my country are under threat, and that’s where I’m coming from.

We don’t have strong labor unions in this country like they do in many European countries, and we’re needing to build this from the ground up right now. It’s difficult and laborious and time-consuming, and any contribution you can make will be worthwhile. You can go ahead and start organizing in your community without actually striking when the time comes. The point right now is outreach and seeing possibilities of how we can organize together: 3.5% of the population is 11 million people, and not even 400,000 have signed strike cards.

For me, I would show up downtown in my city in a second if I knew there was a critical mass of people who were also going to show up. However, it’s much harder for me to miss work, let alone several days of work, if there’s no guarantee that enough people will be gathered together for us to be considered a fighting force. It’s also not worth it to call a strike in this country if we can’t strike for a sustained amount of time. One day strikes send messages, but don’t force change. This movement needs to be built and planned, and spreading the word about strike cards is one method of doing that.

Check the site again. They’ve changed in the last few weeks to include an option with more privacy, I think.

We’re not talking about you specifically, and it detracts from the message and the seriousness of the situation to use your specific situation as possibly representative of the rest of the country. If all people who can would strike, then we would be in a good place. You’re an essential worker. We’re not trying to kill off our elders.

Noticing that “or”

This is pretty sweet

He’s said a few things in English, like “I wanna fuck you”.

I love Bad Bunny. Not because of his English lyrics though!

Er, soggy biscuit, I thought…

No disrespect meant, but that’s what this was (barring independent evidence to the contrary).

Holy fuck, I am so sick of this.

The family is seeking an independent autopsy. Do we know about how long that will take? Somehow, no matter the results, I doubt i’ll continue to see much about this specific incident in national news, and I’d like to remind myself to check back in on this.

Honestly, it happens at least four or five times a year on average. Not kidding, you found out my secret.

So if Democrats shut down government funding in a couple of weeks, which automatically closes national parks, will it also stop drilling?

Regardless, please Democrats, have a spine.

This is my actual answer, also “wall adapter,” but I really liked Ginny’s “argly bargy cable chargie.”

When you can no longer afford to buy things, including furniture, at stores, thrifting as a habit become an errand. Not one that takes long enough to meet up with a friend, I agree, but it is a slightly different headspace than going shopping.
