I’m very irritating IRL
Every computer needs a “cleaning keyboard” mode where the keys would be inactive while you wipe them down
why not just clean it while the computer is shut down?
while the computer is what now

“I mean, look, we’re trying to take healthcare away from tens of millions of people, ensure that women are second-class citizens, remove the regulations that keep Americans safe, and put those uppity Black people back into their proper place,” Paul Ryan added, “and when I have to pretend to be a leader who cares about anything other than those things, it takes up precious seconds of my time that I could be spending writing even more Ayn Rand fanfiction disguised as laws.”
Ryan then looked at the reporters and added, “I mean, it’s not like anything I say right now matters, anyway. I’m in such a safe district, I can do whatever I want and stay in power. Watch.”
Mr. Ryan then kicked a puppy and continued. “But, let me say again: I will not stand by and say nothing when a rich, white celebrity is criticized by the president who I support in every single way that actually matters. You know it, I know it, and let’s continue to pretend that a single word I am uttering right now matters at all.”
The Speaker took no questions.

ThePrettiestOneSo we're currently 5 for 5 right now?
She reportedly shot him with a .50-caliber pistol while he held a thick book in front of his chest.
ThePrettiestOneNo shit. All my paperwork practically says "we're only doing this because the law says we have to, but the law didn't ACTUALLY say we had to give you GOOD health care.
Do you have health insurance from your employer and think that means you're out of danger from Trumpcare? Not so fast. The Congressional Budget Office had bad news for just about everyone in its score, and that includes 4 million people with employer-based insurance.
The nonpartisan budget analyst attributed the drop to the GOP's plan to repeal ObamaCare's two central mandates: the requirement to have health insurance and the requirement that most large employers provide it."Under current law, the prospect of paying the employer mandate penalty tips the scale for some businesses and causes them to decide to offer health insurance to their employees. Thus, eliminating that penalty would cause some employers to not offer health insurance," the CBO wrote.
"Similarly, the demand for insurance among employees is greater under current law because some employees want employment-based coverage so that they can avoid paying the individual mandate penalty. Eliminating that penalty would reduce such demand and would cause some employers to not offer coverage or some employees to not enroll in coverage they were offered."
That could happen immediately after the bill becomes law, if it does. This is another case in which the Senate bill is even worse than what the House came up with—it doubles the number likely to be forced out under the House bill.
There are other problems for people with employer-based insurance because repealing the Affordable Care Act means getting rid of protections that everyone on private insurance enjoys. Like having preventive care covered without an additional co-pay. Or knowing that you couldn't be charged exorbitant premiums and copays for the treatments your pre-existing condition requires. Or knowing that if you or someone in your family is struck with a debilitating disease, you won't be facing any caps on what your insurance will pay to keep you healthy. Or alive.
All we need is three Republican senators to block Trumpcare. If you have a GOP senator, we need you to call their office at (202) 224-3121. Demand that they put their constituents above their party. After the call, tell us how the call went.
who do I contact to produce this?! -Mandie

I just had a nightmare that I was two hours late for school and my dad was yelling at me about it. I woke up in a panic and remembered “Oh wait, it’s Saturday.” And laid back down, feeling the panic dissolve.
Then…ten seconds later.
“I’m 31.”
The lasting psychological effects of school are very prominent
ThePrettiestOnePuppy? Puppy!
Along the wild Pacific coast of British Columbia, there lives a population of the sea wolves. “We know from exhaustive DNA studies that these wolves are genetically distinct from their continental kin,” says McAllister. “They are behaviourally distinct, swimming from island to island and preying on sea animals. They are also morphologically distinct — they are smaller in size and physically different from their mainland counterparts,” says Ian McAllister, an award-winning photographer who has been studying these animals for almost two decades.
McAllister captured the magic of these wolves in breath-taking pictures. As he swam towards them, “the curious canines approached him so closely that he could hear them grunting into his snorkel. He took several frames, then pushed back into deeper water without daring to look up,” writes the bioGraphic.
One could almost call these sea wolves pescatarians – 90 percent of their food comes directly from the ocean, with a fourth of it coming from eating salmon. On top of having distinctive food patterns, sea wolves are also excellent swimmers, with their farthest record being swimming to an archipelago 7.5 miles from the nearest landmass.

When you and the Taco Bell guy connect on a whole new level
[A car pulls up to a Taco Bell drive-through window.]
Taco Bell employee (over intercom): How are you doing tonight?
Driver: I wanna fuckin’ die!
Taco Bell employee: Same. (pause, then with extra emphasis:) Same.i wish this didn’t make me laugh as much as it did
too fucking real man
Abusive men pave the way for lazy men to get wives and girlfirends.
Lemme clarify, how many times have you heard your overworked female friends and relatives say “Yeah, Jerry drinks beer every evening after work while I cook dinner and clean up after everyone and does the bare minimum to help me raise the kids but he’s such a nice guy. He’s never beat me in my life. I couldn’t ask for a better guy in my life.”
Like no, Sally, your husband is a common stone among turds and you know it.I try to explain this conceptually to people as a thing that happens not saying that this is good but it’s a thing that happens.
This is what male privilege is and how all men benefit from it.
This is why you are not exempt from statements about “all men” even if you are overall good.
You benefit from the bar constantly being lowered by systemic issues within the gender.
The expectations on you are always lower than they should because “at least you’re not X”.
That…is the best response I’ve seen to the “not all men” thing. Thank you.

Donald Trump tweeted something very unkind about one of the hosts of a stupid-ass worthless morning cable news politics show. Oh no. The Republicans, they are very disappointed.
ThePrettiestOneThere are two kinds of toilets in Japan. The ones described above, and porcelain-lined holes in the floor with marks on them show where to place your feet.
ThePrettiestOneThis is true, I can verify
rolling nat20s is officially bi culture
Honestly, I’m just linking to this for the picture. But then there’s this bit from the article:
Canuck is said to have drawn blood after biting a letter carrier.
The bird is known for riding the city’s SkyTrain and stealing shiny objects, including a knife from a crime scene.
Not a corvid to cross.

ThePrettiestOneIt's more efficient, more effective. It leads to a better, safer, cleaner world for us to live in. It makes thing work better. It means that when I buy a chicken sandwich from a chain restaurant, the person I'm talking to is healthier, and less likely to pass something on to me. It means that when I interact with people in my daily life, they're less stressed and less likely to make that interaction unpleasant because they're scared out of their mind that they're one mild problem away from disaster. It means that the society I live in is generally better education, and less likely to to be manipulated into voting against their best interests, and mine. It means a populace more likely to support and fund good roads which I travel on, more libraries that I get books and movies and, well, everything from, hospitals, bridges, and even, hopefully some day in the future, police departments with cops who act to, you know, protect and serve the populace.
It means that we act as a community to make things better for each other and ourselves.
Personally, I’m happy to pay an extra 4.3% for my fast food burger if it means the person making it for me can afford to feed their own family. If you aren’t willing to fork over an extra 17 cents for a Big Mac, you’re a fundamentally different person than I am.
I’m perfectly content to pay taxes that go toward public schools, even though I’m childless and intend to stay that way, because all children deserve a quality, free education. If this seems unfair or unreasonable to you, we are never going to see eye to eye.
If I have to pay a little more with each paycheck to ensure my fellow Americans can access health care? SIGN ME UP. Poverty should not be a death sentence in the richest country in the world. If you’re okay with thousands of people dying of treatable diseases just so the wealthiest among us can hoard still more wealth, there is a divide between our worldviews that can never be breached.
ThePrettiestOneWhat, did they report her exact words again?

Former Alaska governor and current Trump devotee, Sarah Palin, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging the New York Times defamed her character in publishing an article she claims portrayed her as partially responsible for the 2011 shooting of Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
