    Sorry, I forgot you’re the exception to the rule. No one else has ever had to deal with medical issues preventing them from having children, as well as not having a home. You’re the main character and everyone else can “fuck off”.

    I’ll let you get back to your little pity party, dealing with the effects of your choices. I hope you can make a nice profit on your current home, since that’s clearly what you want.

    You’re not a cockroach, but you should have considered attempting to move before conceiving. You were in a privileged position, not because you were capable enough to find a decent job, which you are and should be proud of, but that you have a whole home for your family already. No one forced you to add an additional member, and thus feel overcrowded. There are consequences to your decisions.

    I’m not comparing you to an oligarch, but you have to understand that many young adults who want to own just their first home simply can’t.




  • Look at that f u c k i n g fireplace mantel; that used to have class to it’s decor. Every administration took pride in giving the Oval Office their touch. Look at Jimmy Carter’s office:

    Carter had a clean, understated look. Obama and Biden took a lot of inspiration from the Carter administration.

    Now our national office looks like it was decorated by a 12 year old boy still clinging onto all of his T-ball participation trophies he “won” over half a decade ago.

    Before you say anything, yes, I know this is such a non-issue in the face of all the actual issues being engineered by this technocratic regime, but… I’m tired, boss. I’ve been screaming about this for years and now the only energy I have left is to pedantically nit-pick the decor choices of US federal administrations. Life is… non-ideal.



  • I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

    I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

    I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

    I guess I want to live in outer space. It’s pretty quiet up there and I’d imagine it doesn’t really smell all that bad.





  • Don’t waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

    Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a “floating” mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

    Thank you for your kind words. It gives me a degree of solace to believe as you do: I believe I gave her the best life I possibly could. I’ve made mistakes, but I always did everything with her health in mind. They’re just never around long enough.

    Thank you again, I may reach out to you soon. Her story deserves to be shared; she was such a strong little creature.

    Thank you, kindly. Your offer to help means a great deal to me, however I don’t want my grief to affect those in this community who are vulnerable to such emotions. I also understand it’s not the nicest of topics and most people would prefer to avoid it.

    If there is no current community for it, I suppose I may have to make one myself.






  • I concur, US federal supreme court judges are appointed solely by the President. This makes these positions highly political and less about merit. Furthermore, fed circuit judges are appointed by fed SC judges, so the whole federal judicial system is just political tug-o’-war.

    Cherry on top is a lot of civil judges, typically circuit-level as well, run unopposed in local elections. Their tenure tends to keep red-state law red and vice-versa. So much for US America being our self-proclaimed “Marketplace of Ideas”.

    I agree with revolutionizing our current federal judicial system. It is severely outdated and regularly exploited.
