"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

an important part of my marriage is making gigantic scooby-doo esque sandwiches, eating half, leaving them out and then faking outrage as my wife scurries from the darkness to finish them off. hearing a six foot woman snort and giggle as she is chased around the house while scarfing down a special sandwich that i made for her is fucking beautiful. like of course i made that sandwich for you, idiot. you think i'd use use arugula when we still had spinach if i wanted that sandwich? you think id use normal mayo when we still had my garlic butter? no. i make them like that because you like those things. now run.

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

From A tehrani resident who barely got out let me inform you of some of the things currently going on here:

Israel bombed two of the highways leading out of tehran, both are blocked now. The remaining highways had heavy traffic until few hours ago. After israel bombed every oil tanks and refineries around tehran, a shortage of petrol happened. Now most petrol stations are out of work and if you're lucky enough to find one that's still operating, you have to stay in hours long lines in hopes of getting max 15 liters of petrol. So even with a car, it's not guaranteed you can get very far from the city.

There's also the matter of where to go and stay. The bank system is half working, no cash available at the time. And you can't exactly sleep in the deserts around the city. Most people still stuck in tehran don't have anywhere to go and they don't have the money to afford relocating themselves (it's always the lower class that gets the worst hits)

All of these are beside the fact that most people can't leave the city under any circumstance. They have chronic illnesses, they have sick family members who needs care, they work as emergency workers and can't leave their lines of duty.

But these mfs don't care about human life getting destroyed. It's just numbers to them, expendables. Our own government has abandoned people to die horrible deaths, they never cared and they don't care now. People of iran are worth nothing to nobody. It's Gaza all over again.

I have family and friends still in tehran who can't leave. I'm bracing myself for the worst case scenario. I hope all those who start war, add fuel to the flames of war, encourage it and cheer for it, burn and rot in hell. I don't really believe in hell and afterlife, but I hope it's all real just to see these people get what they deserve

Giving a facsist rapist felon fraud a 79th birthday parade that costs the taxpayers $92 million?

Christians will love the military theme. The fiscally conservative will say nothing. The taxed too much crowd will gladly waste the money.

This is the worst timeline.

Donna is in her 30s at the beginning of the show

I've been rewatching Parks & Recreation this week and it occurred to me that 95% of the characters are in their mid-thirties or older in Season 1.

Leslie Knope is 34 in Season 1. Ron Swanson and Chris Traeger are both in their early 40s at their first appearances. Donna meagle is also estimated to be in her mid- to late 40s. Ben Wyatt is 35. Andy Dwyer is 29. Tom Haverford is somewhere in his early to mid-twenties. The youngest main character is April, who starts as 19 and ends the series as 26.

And sure, by the end of the series younger characters like April and Tom are ~26 and ~30-ish, respectively, with spouses and lucrative careers. But you know what? It still took Tom 6 years to launch a successful business that he was passionate about, and that only happened after his two other businesses failed (one of which catastrophically), and even then that business ultimately failed, too. It took April 5 years at her job to find a role she cared about (Deputy Director of Animal Control), which she considered turning into a career (veterinary school) only to realize she wasn't actually that passionate about it. It wasn't until she was 26 that she actually figured out what she wanted to do with her life (which is ironically helping other people figure out what they want to do with their lives). She got married to Andy at 21 but doesn't become a mother until she's 34. And Andy works random odd jobs and short-term gigs until he's in his thirties.

Leslie doesn't start having a successful career in which her work is duly acknowledged or marry Ben until she's in her late 30s. She's 37 when she gets elected as a city councilwoman. She has her triplets and gets promoted to the National Parks Department when she's 38 or 39.

Donna doesn't settle down with her eventual husband until she's in her late 40s/early 50s and doesn't find a job she genuinely cares about until she's in her mid-50s, but arguably has the craziest and coolest life of everyone in the show.

And Jerry/Larry/Terry/Garry? Finishes the series as a 75-year-old working his dream job, with an amazing home life.

The point is, most of those incredibly inspiring, determined, and hard-working characters don't start having major success in their careers and personal lives until their late twenties and mid-thirties at earliest.

So it's okay if, like me, you're in your mid- to late twenties and still have no idea what you want to do with your life. Or have an idea of what you want to do but no clue how to actually do it... or otherwise just simply haven't had any noteworthy successes towards those professional goals yet. Because even Leslie Knope didn't start having those successes until she was in her late 30s.

Pedro calling himself a “lazy 50-year-old bougie bitch” honestly is now my favorite thing about him.
