Imagine this but all over the country

I got Tumblr triggered and touched the poop because some acquaintances were being incredibly homophobic on social media and I couldn't hold it anymore so I came out of the closet on that circle while trying to educate them on some topics. But no, apparently I wasn't subhuman until I admitted to also liking ladies.

I live in a very liberal city but work for some very conservative people. More often than I'd like, someone will spout off some hate & hyperbole and the progressives in the room have to practically explode from not throwing chairs at them.

It's getting better but even the casual sexism (a senior manager who is a woman that thinks the president should always be a man or the brick-faced goons who love to talk about "a woman's place") is disgusting.

Don't get them started on trans issues!

I've just been tying my hair back or putting it up for the past five months or so, because it's super thick, curly and not unlike wearing a sweater around my neck and shoulders in hot weather. I've trimmed my bangs once or twice, but otherwise just let it go. Now that the weather's getting cool enough to wear it down again, it's a straggly mess that desperately needs a trim. However, the salon I used to go to is now out of business, and the only other places around here that charge less than a hundred bucks are like, Hair Cuttery, and experience has taught me that those places aren't great with curls.

Found a place that sells a dynamite Reuben. I feel your pain. It got to the point where the delivery drivers started to recognize me which was enough to cut me off.... but goddamn are those good sandwiches.

I can't find a good Reuben anywhere near me. It's all super bland sauerkraut and dry-rear end pastrami as far as I can see. I had fantastic sweet potato fries with one attempt though, so that's a bonus.

Also, I really want to spend $50 to get a themed hoodie for my favorite tv show, but I should really save my money. But, you know, it's my favorite and I could really use another go-to hoodie for the winter, I only have one that's not falling apart...

Go with red or black; easier cleaning.

Black if she's more of a "serious" user, red if she's more of a "casual" user--not in terms of technical proficiency just in how she approaches the hobby.

I was warm and thirsty, and so I drank a ton of ice water. Now my stomach is cold and it hurts.

e: I'll late edit this one to add it since there's only one post after mine: I forgot that I bought a ticket to a movie earlier in the day, so without thinking I went to another theater later on to see it. No problem, just cancel my old ticket, right? By sheer coincidence, my phone decided that while it was on 4G LTE and had full signal bars, I couldn't connect to anything. I went outside, and the same thing happened.

My college classes start on Thursday but I can't get my student bus pass activated till next Monday so I'll have to pay bus fare (as I already have for two student orientations).

For some reason my iPad keeps randomly refreshing webpages. I've been unable to access a particular forum thread (not here) for several days because it will load the first post or so, then stop and refresh, then go through the whole process again.

Also, the wifi in this house is strangely patchy. It's fine almost everywhere, but if I step over some invisible line in my bedroom the connection becomes weak and tends to drop off frequently. This means I (usually) can't browse the Internet in bed.

My dog had several ugly growths removed--mainly the golf-ball sized one on her neck--but now she's in recovery so she has to wear a cone, I have to slather gold bond on the stitches multiple times a day to keep the area dry, it smells fetid to be around her, and it's generally going to suck for another week before the stitches finally come out. Poor old girl I just want her last remaining year or so to be pleasant.

Strangely related to the thread title, I pooped and my anus hurts. I believe it's because like all of us in the first world we enjoy pooping while sitting down instead of squatting. Squatting makes me poop effortlessly, but then I have to squat which makes me feel super weird.

It folds up against the bowl so it's basically just sort of there if you want it.

Personally I can handle the people trying to make snide remarks about it if it means less rear end in a top hat pain. I've had hemorrhoids before, and I've got IBS, so I'm fairly familiar with "AUGH, MY ANUS" kinda days.

The Liquid Plumr Hair Clog Eliminator is amazing, I have shut old rusted pipes so they inevitably get clogged with hair sticking to the rust. This poo poo makes my pipes run like new. I can't recommend it enough. I also let it sit for longer than the 15 min or whatever the recommended time but I have metal pipes and that prob wouldn't work on plastic..... Hopefully doesn't ruin metal pipes :ohdear:

Also I can't tell if you're being sarcastic after having just read the post about flanders' problems, I'm on 3 hours of sleep

Sprite in the 20oz bottle or from a soda fountain, I can drink a gallon of it. So why does drinking it from a can make it taste like crap?

I had a poo poo day Friday at work and am looking at a writeup when my boss gets back in a week. And I have the rest of this week to deal with a dispatcher who hates me and is either actively loving me over, or just so bad at his job he does it unintentionally.

I've always heard that you should basically never use any Liquid Plumber/Drano type of products ever. Maybe like once or twice, but despite what they say, they are bad for all pipes, metal and plastic.

Nah, Drano is fine. The chemical reacts to hair/dirt/grease whatever but doesn't react with the plastic or metal in the pipes.
