  • Lemmy's have you ever been "profiled" or judged preemptively? What is your story ?
  • Countess425 Countess425 Now 93%

    I look really young. Like I'm 40 but routinely pass for early 20s or even late teens if I do my makeup with that aim.

    I get carded buying alcohol a lot. I hated it until I was about 27, and it really started to make me feel great! Especially once my gray hair started growing in (I dye it regularly so nobody really sees them, but I know they're there). If all you're trying to do is guess how old I am from how I look, I will love your answer.

    But people often judge my experience or expertise as if I am only as old as I look when I am really twice that age. I hate when people assume I'm the office assistant or new hire when I'm the Assistant Director. I had physical therapy for several months due to a chronic shoulder injury, and the old ladies there loved to tell (not ask) me that physical therapy must be so easy for me as if my joints aren't fucked and my pain and effort aren't real. Still pisses me off so much.

    And don't get me started on the creepy old guys who see legal jail bait...eugh.

    W's office has already said neither he nor his wife will comment on how they're voting this election.

    He wrote in "Condoleezza Rice" in 2020.

  • 'Trump is desperate': Ex-GOP aide thinks a Vance-RFK swap is a real possibility
  • Countess425 Countess425 Now 100%

    At this point there's no way to do it legally. Ballots are already being printed. But legality's not an issue for Trump and his personal fan club.

    I think Vance could step down, then Trump would have no running mate, I think? And a VP would be appointed by Congress if he wins? Idk.

    eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

    Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

    Ditto. It was totally worth it, I loved my mirena. But yeah it turns out you can pass out from the pain of having your cervix tugged on, and my doctor told me to quit being so hysterical. Like I was making a choice to lose consciousness for the fun of it.

    I didn't even get ibuprofen, I just got some mifepristone in advance that does not treat pain at all.

    There's not as many as you'd think, it's just they're all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It's like confirmation bias.

    We typically don't. The conservative synagogues in my hometown were really concerned about the Darfur genocide; hosting fundraisers and awareness campaigns. They all had signs out front that said "Never Again...in Darfur" but when it comes to Palestinians, the Boomers are just SO rabid.

    You're right; the Jewish community should do better and all the American Jews who send money and make major political donations should demand more, especially given our history.

    Traffic Jam.

    It's got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek's on I35 outside Waco makes the best.

    Clytemnestra. Agamemnon sacrificed their daughter, disappeared to war for 10 years, shows back up with a sex slave and is just revered as a hero. Fuck that guy. I'm glad she killed him. He deserved it.

  • If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?
  • Countess425 Countess425 Now 100%

    I'm moving into a retirement community. Get in there early enough and they have to take care of you until you die. But before that point, retirement communities are like dorms without having to worry about grades or getting pregnant. Lotta syphilis, though, I hear.

    Just out of frame is a monstera I'm pretty proud of (my husband got one at the same time as me, and mine has exploded. His has...not died).
