Eh, you haven’t worked in good service.
What always sent me was the people who ordered gravy after telling me they were gluten sensitive…

Yeah, absolutely no comprehension. She copied it down into her notes to look into it more.

Oklahoma has to have something in the water. I had a parent teacher conference the other day and wrote “x+4=7” on the board as an example of something their middle schooler was struggling with, and I might as well as written 汉子.

Hmm, wonder if there were words before the section you decided to quote.

Rapping takes more skill than just saying a bunch of words fast over the right beat. A lot of middle/upper class white kids do not realize this and are not in the kind of environment to get real feedback on their rap.

Made the mistake of buying a HP “gaming laptop.” The goddamn thing chugs if you have five browser tabs open.
- Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16? 5 days ago:
Probably not too hard to make - maybe I’ll hit the thrift store and see if I can get a friend to help me test it tonight…
- Comment on 8 characters? How about we make it 16? 5 days ago:
Is it more stingy or thuddy? The cables seem heavy enough for a lot of thud, are the sharp corners of the end connectors stingy?

It’s a problem when it’s all that your partner cares about. Sex is great, but the vast majority of the time you spend with your SO will not involve fucking. That other 90% is important too.

Pretty sure that’d melt the silicone.
I left one of my packers in my closet just a little too close to the ceiling light and it melted.

- Comment on McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’ 2 weeks ago:
Do we think this CEO fucks his employees too?
What even qualifies someone to be a CEO? I’ve been doing writing coach work for business majors and it’s just amazing how easy the work is. Imagine your term paper being “write a professional email.”

- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 3 weeks ago:
It won’t take much for them to make being trans an illegal offense punishable by death.
What they’ll do is make something like “the sexual abuse of children” punishable by death, but define being trans (probably verbiage would be “crossdressing”) within so many feet of a child as sexual abuse.
Then, when people try to argue against it, they can be like “oh, you want to protect pedophiles?”
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 3 weeks ago:
Fed isn’t revoking current passports. I’ve heard stories of renewals being returned to natal sex (and confiscated, but fewer incidents of that), but not “your current identification is invalid and you need to replace it ASAP.”
Do you realize how terrifying that would be? Get pulled over for a burned out tail light, your drivers license doesn’t count any more (realistically - how quickly could you clear out a day to visit the DMV?)
You can’t vote till you replace it? Kansas is probably following some ALEC/P26 playbook, and other states will follow. Closer to midterms likely.
I occasionally like to travel to rural areas. I used to spend a great deal of time volunteering in rural areas. Places where an incongruity between appearance and classification could be harmful. Minimum is being unable to grab a beer perhaps, but i don’t think it takes much imagination for other outcome.
Why do licenses need gender or sex at all?
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 3 weeks ago:
You either find a job and then move, or move and then find a job
Okay, but jobs don’t want to hire you if you don’t live there, and apartments want proof of income. That feels like a catch-22.
Also, just not sure about how much to save up. I’m guessing I’ll need at least $1000 for the Uhaul, but otherwise I’m just trying to save as much as I can. (Working four jobs atm)
There’s also a bunch of auxiliary paperwork things - getting a new drivers license, transferring car title? I don’t know. I’ve been jumping through hoops to get my certifications and work licenses transferred.
It’s overwhelming and I struggle with paperwork and planning these kinds of things at the best of times. I’ve reached out to those types of trans help orgs a few times to see if someone could just sit with me and walk through the finances. Give me a checklist.

Know of any resources for Pennsylvania? Not in KS but close.
Not even wanting money really, just how the fuck do I figure out how to move halfway across the country? OK isn’t revoking licenses, but in ‘28 when I renew it’ll probably say “F,” which ain’t conducive to my employment.

The SAVE Act will make it harder to vote if your documentation doesn’t match your birth certificate. (article is from last year, but the bill just now passed the House I believe.)
It costs money to get a drivers license replaced.
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 3 weeks ago:
If they try this shit in my state, I’d fucking sue.
I had surgery BECAUSE it would let me change my drivers license. I paid $5500 as a broke college student because I was getting turned down for jobs with that stupid “F.”
I don’t understand how any of this is legal. The constitution prohibits “ex post facto” laws - how can you revoke someone’s documentation when they complied with the laws as they were at the time?
- Comment on Tulsa police pepper sprayed children for walking out/protesting 3 weeks ago:
They totally just only did it to the students who were fighting guys!
One parent is furious that her son had to go to the hospital because of this.
Monique Goudau’s 12-year-old son, Keenan Pettis, is in the sixth grade at Will Rogers. She says he was outside protesting against ICE with his classmates when a fight broke out between students near the football field.
Keenan says he wasn’t part of the fight, so he and other students went back into the school to keep protesting. That’s when he says campus police pepper-sprayed him.
“I don’t really remember it. I was just, it was… it was just hurting, I don’t know,” said Keenan.
- Comment on Tulsa police pepper sprayed children for walking out/protesting 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been expected to break up fights in the only district in Oklahoma worse than TPS, and I managed to never need to pepper spray or send anyone to the hospital.

Are you really comfortable with Meta having videos of your children?
- Comment on It makes me shudder 3 weeks ago:
because most US therapists don’t know that much about autism.
Fun fact - many textbooks still say girls can’t be autistic. I tutor psychology occasionally and I’ve seen it more than once.
