That stupid poker face song.

Just off the top of my head:

Ouais is more like ‘yeah’, not ‘yes’.

No, they both voted for Harris.

The thing is, my in-laws have plenty of money in the bank, plus two adult children who are very successful and would help them out if needed, no questions asked. It’s not entirely rational - I think it’s the uncertainty more than anything that has them scared. Which really sucks. :(

Kennett Square isn’t exactly rural. It’s near rural stuff but could arguably be considered an exurb of Philly, and there’s quite a lot of wealth nearby. Around the election I saw about even amounts of Trump and Kamala signs.

Didn’t you already post about this?

It’s really sad - my in-laws are in their mid-to-late 70s and are currently applying to jobs because they’re convinced that Social Security will go away. I hate to see older folks so scared by this lunacy.

I go grocery shopping once a week, and I’m buying just for two adults. Most things I get at Aldi, and some things at Giant if I don’t like the Aldi version, or Aldi doesn’t sell it. I do make a list ahead of time, but I buy mostly the same things every week.

A typical aldi trip includes bananas, berries (rasp or blue usually), avocados, some kind of fresh green veg for dinner (typically spinach, asparagus, or green beans), bread, jaffa cakes, coffee, low-fat cheese, laundry detergent & fabric softener, windex, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, canned fire-roasted tomatoes (soooo many easy recipes with these!), sparkling water, eggs, egg whites, almond milk, yogurt, and pierogies. Then I typically get my meat at Giant (most of Aldi’s meat is pretty gnarly), plus things like toothpaste, evaporated milk, sugar packets, paper towels, canned lentils (my Aldi doesn’t carry these???), and a little bouquet of flowers. And then some random things I buy on Amazon, like my tea (yorkshire gold), farro, protein powder, low-fodmap ingredients, etc.

I spend about $150 a week unless I’m out of something expensive like paper towels.

Thank you!

Yeah I’d be interested in seeing that.

I think bird flu is a convenient excuse for price gouging, just like we saw during pandemic. He could easily address that if he wanted to. He just doesn’t care.

Girl. Have some dignity and kick him to the curb because it’s clear he’s not really interested in you. He probably wants you on standby in case his dick or his ego need stroking. Don’t make excuses for someone who’s mistreating you, especially at such a young age - you’re just inviting dysfunction. You can and will do better, but not if he’s in the way. Good luck.

I think you mean the fedivwrse?

Oh jesus fucking christ I have hoodies older than this kid.

A directory of DOGE workers and their email addresses.

Yeah probably some pimple-faced DOGE kid who never learned about the Enola Gay because their school systems were underfunded and they’re too young to remember OMD.

I don’t mean to be belligerent, but what made you think that?

I’m intrigued, what movie is this?
