This has to be the most egregious offender I’ve ever seen, so I fixed it for us

We get paid daily

Lol, I’m sober now for good reason ☺

I had just come home from a party at a neighbors apartment, on a mix of xanax, coke, weed, and alcohol- not blacked out, but close to the most fucked up I’ve ever been.

I laid down on the couch, and my roommate, who was apparently trying to talk to me, said “you’re pretty faded, huh”. Without responding verbally, I looked at her as I slowly and deliberately pushed a pile of her stuff off the edge of the couch with my feet, which made a loud crash on the floor. After a moment of stunned silence, staring back at me, she just goes “… okay”

It didn’t click for me until the next day, and I was so embarrassed

Lmao, what?

Hey, I noticed it in another comment of yours so I thought I’d say something-

“Stopped to go to work” in English implies that they stopped smoking weed so that they could go to work. You’re looking for “stopped going to work”

Your straight edge friends who’ve never touched a joint in their lives start smoking regularly, since it’s legal.

That’s not what straight edge means

I complained in the “other” box that they did include for a different question lol

A similar debate with my partner is how I’m found out I’m colorblind lol

This is what I’ve heard as well

Edit: source

I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network

English summary:

• A massive power outage struck most of Spain, Portugal, parts of southern France, and Andorra around 12:30 PM CET on April 28, 2025 (3.5hrs ago).
• Electricity consumption dropped by about 50%, causing widespread disruption.
• Possible causes include a rare atmospheric phenomenon affecting high-voltage lines or a cyberattack; investigations are ongoing.
• The blackout disrupted traffic lights, public transport (trains, metro), airports, and telecommunications.
• Hospitals operated on emergency power; many surgeries were suspended; urgent patient transfers prioritized.
• Emergency plans were activated; Madrid raised its emergency level and considered military support to maintain order.
• Power restoration began gradually but full recovery could take 6 to 10 hours.
• The outage affected supermarkets, businesses, and public services, causing closures and delays.

Once, in New York City, I haggled the opposite direction for fun, because I was annoyed about being harassed

Guy was trying to sell me a watch so I asked
“How much?”

For you? $15

“Nah, too cheap” I replied

uhh… O-okay, $20!

“Hmm, how about $25?”

okay yes yes, $25!

“No. $40”

okayyy good deal $40 for you!!

“No way, that’s too expensive”- I turned around and started walking away

huh? Oh- no! $20! $15! Ten! F-five dollars for you!

In the US, I think it’s more common to charge after. I worked at an agency whose paperwork stated they would charge before the session, but they never actually did.

Personally, I’m not gonna cancel a session just because the card declines anyway- I can be paid another time; so it’s much less awkward to just charge after imo
