  • I know I’m old and everything, but I seem to recall a time when serving in another country’s military (even a friendly) was considered…treason.

  • Well, yeah…I work in Washington D.C., and the number of people who say, “Oh, I want to volunteer at the Smithsonian or National Gallery” just makes me giggle. Like, there’s a three year waiting list, and that’s for people who are already highly qualified.

  • My housing development is built on fill dirt; I was trying to plant a rose bush and getting nowhere with just a shovel. What I really needed was a pickaxe like we used in college when we were excavating a rock shelter for Archaeology 401. Bought one at the hardware store and went to town. 🥀

  • I mean, I (~12 year user of the site, almost a million combined karma, banned by a bot) was never under the illusion that reddit operated for the benefit of its users; the API thing made that clear. But when it went public, I said, “well, that’s that,” and it seems I was right.

  • This administration is just getting crazier and crazier.

  • Yeah, D.C. doesn’t want it.
