    Hahaha my niece is younger than that and speaks like a sailor, there are more important things in life than to patrol colorful language of children used within the context of trolling scammers

  • I just opened an overpriced can of fancy soup and on the label, along with the expected stuff like 'gluten-free' and 'GMO-free,' was 'mustard free' and 'celery free.' Is that a thing now?

    This guy made an app called Soosee that looks at labels for you, and highlights ingredients that are not ok. The app is pre-populated, but has a customizable element to it, meaning that you can manually add in all the bullshit names and it’ll search for them, too. It works really well, I use it all the time as I have a sulphate allergy, and they pull the same bullshit there.

    I’ve got this sticker on my laptop at work! And whenever the idiots the “engineers” my coworkers have a death wish don’t know how to read ask me to do something stupid I like to point to it and wait for them to see it

    Honestly, same. Ever since my own mother asked me if I knew that Swift was a witch (as in, pointy black hat, spells, and broomsticks kind of witch)(yes, I’m serious, she legit believes this, stop laughing) I knew the far right has had it out for her. Don’t know what she did to get their attention (and I don’t really care) but they’re coming with their pitchforks

    Yeah, unfortunately meds don’t fix ADHD. They’re a treatment, not a cure. Meds are supposed to be used in conjunction with other treatments (such as therapy, as an example) to be most effective. I know, it sucks, but these are the cards we’ve been dealt.

    It is! Turns out she had spent a lifetime fighting back. It wasn’t just some isolated incident, and she was far from the first person to refuse to give up her seat. The book sets all this straight.

    Huh. That’s a good point, I should do something about the hot house I live in. Probably easier doing that than relocating my meds to a different place where I’m guaranteed to never find them again

    Obligatory not-my-cat. This is Holly, the new smol. She’s eating the stick end of a feather toy. I’m told it’s the tastiest part.
