There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.
To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn’t even the women’s health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can’t be in the same room as that smell for long.
So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

That wasn’t the question though. They asked…
“What’s going on by the Burger King?”
From what I can tell, it’s a hooker on crack blowing some dude dressed as the King, while fighting off a family of raccoons…

I don’t even have half an idea what all foods do or don’t contain gluten, but I am still almost equally inclined to call out people just plain out being nasty, especially in a public space where they’re about to exchange paper cash.
Like shit, I totally respect paper cash, but FFS, try to make sure your hands are clean when handling or exchanging money.

Our park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it’s not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.
We keep him on the leash when there’s lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.
He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.
He’s a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He’s never hurt anyone.
Of course that’s not true for all dogs though, hence why we’re very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.

Even though the woman proved to be a Karen, the cashiers working the store that day totally understood why I was upset. If only they had or enacted a policy of don’t consume any products in the store…
As far as the dog on the lease thing, we’re about 99% in favor of that, only exception being when we take our dog out to our city park, where we adopted him from as abandoned.
Brownie knows every inch of the park and I feel it would be wrong to not let him roam free occasionally when there’s not many people or other animals around. Those sort of days are few and far between though, so 99% of the time he’s on the leash.

My response might be sligtly convoluted, but I’ll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.
For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I’m so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can’t even breathe.
I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I’m in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.
Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn’t even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.
I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.
She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.

LOL!
That randomly reminds me of a random post I saw on that other site years ago, goes something like this…
‘Get 4 pigs, and paint them with numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5. Then let them loose in Walmart, and after they catch those 4, sit back and watch them look for #4…’

We’re going to have to balance your engine then, so we’re gonna have to remove plug #6 so it runs sorta smooth.

Well today I learned, that school board members are elected. I assume you’re referring to the US?..
I’m 42 years old and just learned this today. I attempted to run a petition at age 15 for our school of ~1200 students to keep the pizza lunch line, and I got approximately 420 unique signatures.
I still actually have the signatures somewhere in a file drawer in storage. Back when I did this, I asked people where to turn in my petition. Everyone told me to go to the superintendent’s office.
But nobody would actually tell me where the fuck that was, nor would anyone take me there ☹️.
I got more than a third of the students to sign my petition, but nobody would tell me where to take it, like what the actual fuck?

We’re also not supposed to have a felon for president in the first place, he shouldn’t have been eligible to even run for office. But here we are, guess you poll workers didn’t protest that either huh?
You can’t sit and blame people that didn’t vote when the poll workers fucking allowed it to happen.

Well riddle me this…
Since I haven’t had an opportunity to even go through the process of voting, despite trying, waiting for ~2 hours, only to close at 8pm and officers ordered everyone still waiting to leave, I have no experience with the actual process of voting.
So how does the process actually work? From my understanding, unless I’m mistaken, don’t people get to vote on numerous positions at once, not just the president?
Like, I’d be looking at the options and be wondering who half or more of the candidates even are, and also not even being sure exactly what the nature of their job is in the bigger picture, not knowing a damn thing about them to make any educated decision.
Also, from my understanding, in my state, if you vote Democrat, you have to vote all Democrats, and if you vote Republican, you have to vote all Republicans. Like what the hell do names and campaign goals even mean if you don’t have the option to vote Democrat for one office, but might actually like the campaign goals of a Republican for another office?
It’s like what the hell do names even matter, if I’m a registered Democrat voter (which I am), then shouldn’t they already know how I’d vote anyways?
If I’m mistaken on any of this, by all means please let me know. Please be willing to educate inexperienced people as to how the voting process even works before giving them shit for not voting after trying, only for everyone still waiting to get sent home.

When the pill workers go home and lock up, what am I supposed to do, break in and turn the machines back on?
The poll workers should have protested, the potential voters couldn’t do shit.
