Lemmy's have you ever been "profiled" or judged preemptively? What is your story ?
  • 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.

  • Republican Karl Rove says Trump got ‘crushed by a woman he called dumb as a rock’ during ‘train wreck’ debate
  • 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.

  • Republicans threaten a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote
  • They don't even have enough Republican votes to make it happen.

  • 'Trump is desperate': Ex-GOP aide thinks a Vance-RFK swap is a real possibility
  • 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.

  • Haunted rule
  • It's me. I'm that ghost. Or I will be one day.

  • What is the OLDEST online account that you currently still own and still use somewhat frequently?
  • eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

    Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

  • CDC gives doctors new IUD insertion guidelines after TikTok outcry
  • 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.

  • Elon Musk’s X Is Leaving San Francisco
  • 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.

  • Ukrainian men band together to heal from Russia's sexual torture
  • It's not gay if it's just showing them who's boss.

  • Elon Musk’s X Is Leaving San Francisco
  • Austin doesn't want him either.

  • North Dakota voters will decide whether to abolish property taxes
  • Lt. Gov Dan Patrick is on a crusade to end property taxes and replace them with...🤷‍♀️

  • Biden’s ads haven’t been working. Now, he’s trying something new.
  • I didn't realize Joe Biden was the Prime Minister of Israel

  • What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?
  • Traffic Jam.

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

  • Who are your favourite villains from mythology?
  • 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.

  • Vladimir Putin set to transfer Sergei Shoigu from Russian defence ministry
  • He's actually been around since the Soviet Union. He perfected the art of invisible paper pushing.

  • If you take care of your parents or other elderly, how are you preparing to age gracefully?
  • 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.

  • Trump attacks judge on Truth Social moments after gag order hearing
  • You don't think he's spending any of that on his campaign or legal fees, do you? That's his money.

  • Trump attacks judge on Truth Social moments after gag order hearing
  • His fundraising is going historically terrible right now.

  • Trump attacks judge on Truth Social moments after gag order hearing
  • I've seen lots of speculation that Trumbo is trying to get himself thrown in jail for the publicity of it all. It would result in a huge fundraising boost and conservative outrage, even if just for a short while, and no one wants to give him the satisfaction.

  • Tabloid CEO Says He Killed Negative Stories on Trump Affairs
  • It's this. He testified today, and earlier against Cohen, in exchange for immunity for crimes that he willfully and knowingly committed.

    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).
