I let my kid go all flower child about the socks. he got athletes foot. Socks SPECIFICALLY are not a social construct. they prevent athletes foot.

Real this is not a pipe energy

in 2015 that's $18.73 in US dollars, with inflation $24.92. So there's not much to unwrap there except that the "current value" is never matching our current year, as these things have to be a few years old to have reliable stats to calculate. to inform my previous statement though, the entry level jobs at GM in 1955 required no diploma and were $2/hr with benefits. in 2025 dollars that's $23.99. The average entry level pay in the US right now is $16/hr and typically without benefits. A lot of people who grew up on the $2/hr income think we are getting it FAR TOO GOOD, when that's simply not the case.

you learn not to after a while.

every time I hear a old shitty truck engine rattle up near where I'm at, and hear the doors open and slam shut. fucking panic attack city.

I could eat the absolute PANTS off some shrimp. or maybe whales? what do whales taste like?

what year, and how much exactly per hr. I would love to point out how inflation works to you. the average worker in the 50s at an entry level, no high school diploma required job, was making A LOT MORE than you'd guess after factoring in inflation.

My former religion used to do this a lot. to the point people I didn't know who heard I was one of them, would ask about these kinds of services. The church doesn't do any of it anymore. they stopped all their charity efforts of this kind as it doesn't line up with American Republican values, and those are clearly more important than shit Jesus said. reading any manuals, teaching plans, and so forth that the church puts out makes this abundantly clear. Used to be Mormon. Finally gave up with the anti-lbgtq bullshit and the church hording tithes. literally against the dogma and doctrines of the church. 100%. They still teach in Sunday school for kids that tithes stay local and help people in need Mormon or not. it's a full on lie at this point. Other than child abuse lawsuits I'm not sure the church spends money on anything.

CA also does this. they give you a lot of baby supplies as you leave the hospital with the baby the first time, it's super helpful.

the teacher responded to her exercising her free speech by telling her "you enjoy the freedoms in this country, if you don't like it you should go back to your country" pretty shitty reaction. the school district put out a very strongly worded memo that they DON'T tolerate this kind of treatment of students, and didn't do anything other than the statement.

"Your Name", anime film about a high school age boy and girl that swap bodies in their sleep, they don't know anything about eachother and have to figure out how to not ruin eachothers lives and relationships, it's very bueatiful, and you'll cry for sure.

it really paints a very negative light of organized religion all together.
