National Park Service profile on antisocial psychomedia is one of a few that's worth following
I'm housebound. I'm in several Facebook groups for people with my medical condition and it's extremely helpful.

Oh I see where I went wrong. I was only committing moderate-sized fraud!
I'm not rich enough to be able to commit fraud. It would still just be a crime at my money level.
Overinflate your future revenue stream from money saved with the homemade coffee. Then borrow against this revenue and buy property, say in New York. Then overestimate your costs and underestimate revenues for tax purposes. Then build up a media profile, stand for office and get supporters to pay for your lawyers. Oh, and maybe have a rich dad.
Also pretty sure that millionaires buy their fancy coffee rather than making it themselves, so her logic doesn't check out. /s
This is a bit odd, and I say this *as* a vegan. You can just not serve meat at your event if you're that committed to your choices; it's then up to your guests whether they think they can manage to live without meat for a single meal.
My thoughts exactly. It shouldn't be a big deal.
Load More Replies...I'd throw a bbq for all the guests who were uninvited since they have the day free now. homer-bbq-...9d49be.gif
This is nonsense, you don't have to do without anyone, the food that a vegan eats can be eaten by anyone, we are not talking about a medical treatment... What I think is really happening is that someone needed an excuse to reduce the guest list.
When I got the news, I'd jump in the air with glee and yell "Hot dog!"
But aren’t homo sapiens technically omnivorous? At least we have a choice on whether or not we eat meat unlike herbivores and carnivores
We are indeed omnivores, the thing that makes us able to go full meat free is science and global trade. (I for example would be very ill without meat due to an health issue)

I'm afraid we will hear about it aplenty in the coming years, either way it goes.
Honestly they're both too old IMO. They're currently beating "oldest to..." records that they themselves set! Ignoring political siding, they both shouldn't be able to run for age alone.
Load More Replies...Basically our choices are an old man or an old man who is also an evil, racist narcissist. Fairly easy choice.
I don't even think Trump is a racist; I think he disregards everyone not him as subhuman regardless of race. And i'm only mentioning this because I think it's more important to realize that he's appealing to his voters. ...who are OVERWHELMINGLY racist. Trump will go away eventually, but what of the racist, bigot, anti-science pieces of conservative Christian waste that support him? Anyway, just a reminder, Trump is a symptom, but the disease is conservative Christians.
Load More Replies...It's incredible that of a population of hundreds of millions of people, two people who would otherwise be enjoying their pensions are competing to be the most powerful man on the planet.
"Incredible" isn't the word that first pops into my mind. Pathetic, egregious, insane...those are the ones I think of.
Load More Replies...I am 80. I am not the president. I could run machinery in a factory .BUT, I get told I am too old to work!
The fact that they didn't start this course specifically to sell their own book blows my mind. Fantastic professor there.
My uni provides about 95% of its library contents to students free of charge, including books written by professors. What I find funny is, one of my favorite professors rarely recommends his own books. They're good ones though.
Load More Replies...I taught a course where I was the author of the textbook. Every year I had the school print out a copy of the pdf for each student. Of course I needed the approval of the department head. It was one of the few times when it was a good thing to be the department head.
This is a great professor and guide.. massive respects to this awesome human being
While we all know that a funny joke is a funny joke, regardless of who says it, the name of this page did get me wondering if humor varies at all between genders. According to PsychCentral, the reason why men and women might sometimes find different things to be funny is because we often view humor in different ways.
“Although both sexes say they want a sense of humor, in our research women interpreted this as ‘someone who makes me laugh,’ and men wanted ‘someone who laughs at my jokes,’” Rod A. Martin of the University of Western Ontario explained. We all want to be funny and want to be around other funny people, but our definition of who is considered funny can vary.
Nothing against her, but I wouldn't know a Beyonce song if Beyonce herself sang it to me.
I'd love to take up the offer but unfortunately I don't have $10,00,000
I'm sorry I can't afford $10M so I'll have to keep hearing them occasionally, I guess.
In my state it's illegal to sell eggs from "pet" chickens (aka not from a factory farm). Locals get around this by selling "biodegradable seed starters" with a free gift of a dozen eggs.
That's kind of how the weed van operates just over the border near me in NJ. They sell stickers, and depending on what sticker you buy, you get *free* marijuana.
My local fair did something like this, in a bad way. You're not allowed to sell turtles under an inch in shell length, so instead they had a game booth where you WON it OR you bought a plastic cage, no where near suitable for a Red Eared Slider, and you got one free.
In the UK, back in the 1960's, it works illegal to sell furniture on Sundays, but was legal to sell fruit. You could buy a very expensive apple and get a free dining suite. It was also legal to sell softcover magazines but not hardback books. So, on a Sunday you could buy Playboy, but not the Bible.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the "Raines Sandwich" story, back in the old days, in NYC, you could not sell Alcohol without food under the Raines Act, so places would give a free sandwhich with your drink, and resell that same free sandwich for weeks while it was moldy to every single patron. People will find ways around the laws, happens all the time
Yes, I would appreciate the compliment even though I'm hetero.
Load More Replies...Ovaries. Women have ovaries. Respect for the ovaries needed for this move.
Load More Replies...PsychCentral also notes that women tend to share funny stories and take a narrative approach when trying to get others to laugh, meanwhile men are more inclined to use one-liners and slapstick comedy. Women are also more likely to use puns, wordplay and self-deprecating jokes, while men more often use physical and active humor. In fact, the way that men and women use humor tends to shift based on their audience as well.
Northwestern University psychologist Jennifer Hay found through taped conversations that men are much more likely to tease and one-up each other when only around other men than when they’re around women. Women, on the other hand, tease men more than they’ll tease fellow women.
So women have to go through messy or unreliable non-prescription birth control, or really uncomfortable side effects of birth control pills, or downright invasive surgery to avoid pregnancy, but since men can’t handle taking a pill and experiencing the side effects, they get a skin lotion instead? What the actual f**k? Where was MY skin lotion birth control all those decades I had to deal with mess or side effects to avoid unplanned pregnancy? Huh? Where?
Tabitha! It does NOT mean at all that there aren't massive side effects. All hormones have chain effects. Even lotions for pain that contain hormones can raise the risk of stroke and heart attack among other things. Besides the fact the pumping foam up a urethra can mean burning for days. Invasive a bit too, to cut a coin purse open and clip the draw strings.

The gel works by reducing the size of the organ to nothing... still interested?
Vaginal estrogen cream can cause breast tenderness and enlargement (gynecomastia) in male sex partners. Testosterone cream to treat hypogonadism (reduced testicular hormone production) if applied to the anterior abdomen can result in bearded ladies....

Carol Vallone Mitchell at HuffPost also says that men and women sometimes have different goals that they’re trying to accomplish when using humor. She notes that boys are often taught about competition and trying to be “top dog” from a very young age, so they might use humor to gain status or to knock someone else down a peg. Girls, on the other hand, are more likely to play games when they’re younger that build connections and necessitate working together. The way that we internalize these games from our youth can later impact how we decide to use humor.
I think if you’re in a long term relationship than it is ok to not pay equal on the rent, just budget and work out what needs to be paid
If she makes less than her husband does, I can see her point. An equitable solution would be running the numbers to pay a percentage of the rent and bill that’s proportionate to the difference in salary. For example, if he makes twice what she does, he pays 2/3 of the rent and bills and she pays the remaining 1/3. 50-50 would save him money while bankrupting her, which is patently unfair. Or they could both deposit their salaries, less an agreed upon amount for themselves, into a joint account for rent and bills, plus any joint purchases. They deducted money is just walking around money, or money they can save or spend without having to justify.
I think the problem though is her attitude of "why should I pay rent"? Yes, there might be legit reason behind it, but the post makes it sound like she just expects her guy to pay for her.
Load More Replies...Why do men always think someone (women) don't work or have their own money? 😭😂
This is why it's (usually) a good idea for married couples to have a joint bank account
Annabeth, the first time my husband bounced a check in our joint account because he "forgot" to record it, was the day I closed the account. Word to the wise.
Load More Replies...She's an old fashioned girl. She pays her share the old fashioned way. Between the sheets.
When women make the same salary for the same work as men, then they should pay half?
Alt (probably not their) solution: rent is x. Bills and shopping is more or less x. He pay rent, she pay other. EQUALITY! (while what is likely happening here is freeloading effnuggetery
The same thing happened to me in 6th grade. I had to wear a Boston brace for scoliosis, hard plastic from under my boobs to below my butt. Had a bully bothering me. Don't remember how it happened exactly. But I told her she that she was weak, and to go ahead and pinch me in the gut as hard as she could. She did and her whale was fantastic. I don't think she broke any fingers though. I hadn't thought about that part of my life in years. My experience with that brace, which, other than being a punching shield was pretty bad, was one of the motivating factors that lead me to become a physician. Hope you are doing well after your brace experience too.
As a kid i got bullied a lot. One day one of the kids stood over me while I was sitting on a gym bench calling me names again. So i kicked up, probably for the first time ever. Kicked his braces out apparently and the treatment was painfull. That was a nice bonus. Only thing I didn't understand is that my parents weren't on my side more. Still, all in all a good day.
Why punish you and not the Bully? Also I got suspended for calling someone a made up name: "A freckled-face funishina head.
No brace for me. Neuro divergent. Three kids got hurt trying to pick my pockets or steal stuff from my bag. I argued that I would not demand legal assistance and professional cleaning of their blood from my belongings and they don't have to pay me for the moral lessons failed by the schools, police and their parents.
I hope going through the torture of wearing a brace helped your scoliosis.
My ex wife used that on a guy who was hitting on her, going on about she should want him because "he's an alpha". She told him I was an omega: when he asked what that meant, she told him "because he will end you if I ask him to"
Load More Replies...In development alpha is usally the first version of the product. So filled with bugs and flaws they wont even let it out to public testing yet. So by claiming to be alpha. You are really saying you are a barely functioning human, with tons if flaws
For me it's doubly funny, because when discussing ionizing radiation, alpha particles are the weakest and get stopped by paper.
Load More Replies...First, the idea of alpha and beta wolves was based on a study that has been proven wrong. Second, when I hear alpha, I more think of the first version of a computer program, the one with all the bugs that need to be sorted out before the superior beta version comes along.
Also, humans are not wolves. We don't have to copy our social norms from random other mammals whether we do it accurately or not.
Load More Replies...Pfffff... bow before the Superior Celestial Dude!!!
Load More Replies...Mitchell goes on to explain that men will be more likely to use jokes to subtly provide negative feedback or to “knock someone down a peg,” while a woman is more likely to use humor to break tension. They might want to provide comedic relief in a stressful situation or keep a running joke going during an intense meeting at work. Women are also less likely to use their humor to put others down, as they tend to utilize self-deprecating jokes instead.
You see, there's this cool thing about being a grownup you'll learn some day. We get to do whatever the f**k we want. You go back and keep doing what you think is "correct" and get back to me when you understand.
Two schools of thought: "I'm a grown adult. I shouldn't be doing things that brought me joy as a child". and "I'm a grown adult. I can freely do things that brought me joy as a child".

Load More Replies...This is the thing about things we like to do. We like to do them. We do things we dont like and dont really like them, so to counter, we do things we do like and that makes us happy. If we can do more of the things we do like than the things we don't like then we are more happy than not. Which makes me happy.
I didn’t buy my first gaming console until my 50s; I’ve got half a century of gaming to make up for.
Don't insult video games, we wouldn't have some of the technological advancements (Since some were made for games).
I would learn yoga so I’d become flexible enough to bend over and kiss my a*s goodbye.
Jeez! Like hey told you back in the 50's, just crawl under your desk. You'll be fine.
Load More Replies...Die. Same as my plan in every other apocalypse scenario. For the non-apocalypse future of our current timeline, my plan is to prioritise my budget, so that when I inevitably run out of money, I die of starvation before being evicted or having my power cut off. If I'm going to die, I want to do it somewhere warm with decent wi-fi.
If I'll have the time I'll put on some sunscreen and eat all the the ice cream I can find to keep it cool.
Why would you bother with sunscreen? Just straight fot the ice cream, baby!

Apparently the safest place in the world in the event of a nuclear war is down towards the bottom (South) of Argentina. Furthest place from any strategic targets, most distant from winds bringing fallout and most likely to actually still have a survivable climate.
IFLScience also explored what differences come up between what men and women find funny. Of course, there’s plenty of overlap. I can watch a comedic show with my partner, and we both laugh at plenty of the jokes. We can also send each other memes that we both find hysterical and enjoy the humor in them. But according to IFLScience, men are more likely to get a kick out of visual jokes while women prefer jokes that involve political commentary or touch on the dynamics of close relationships.
I really appreciate people being prepared to self-immolate so that they can deliver an epic burn!! 🤩The other day I read the following: "I am at least twice as intelligent as you" "Well, 2x0 is still 0, so what's your point?"
To be fair 0x0 is a small cube you can make gravy from.
Load More Replies...So why can't I see the ice wall? Even with a highly powered telescope?
I want to stay at one of the hotels I just KNOW they would build on the edge. Imagine what they’d charge for THAT view!
According to flerfers there's a huge ice wall circumnavigating the flat earth, so you can't reach the edge.

And if you bring your body to the shop the doctor has you try all these different meds to try and "fix" the problem but you gotta find the right one so you go through all these different things that don't work out and waste your money on visits and meds and it's just a whole bunch of f**kery in the US
The lead researcher of the study analyzing which jokes men and women prefer, Professor Robin Dunbar of the University of Oxford, suggests that the differences found in men and women’s humor preferences come from the “remarkable differences in social style of the two sexes.”
“This explanation has previously been overlooked because psychologists and others have concentrated on IQ-type differences, which are minimal,” Dunbar shared in a statement.
I had a childhood friend who always said tumped over. Never heard anyone else say it.

This is actually really important for pets because tap water that isn’t filtered or purified has a high concentration of minerals that can lead to blockage and kidney stones. I’ve had two cats pass from kidney stones and this is the first thing you learn when trying to help them. So, good job on doing the right thing for your fur baby! 🙌
I think it's mostly due bad diet, not water...
Load More Replies...My dog has a nice clean bowl of water daily. He much prefers to drink from puddles and stale ditches though
My cat does the same. Our pond is his favourite!
Load More Replies...I use the a Brita pitcher for our pets water dishes. I know a lot of people that do this for their pets health.
We give out cats bottled water. So dumb, I know, because they would NOT do the same for me.
Plastic particles. Better to filter the water.
Load More Replies...I bought mine a filtering system. Well, it was for me as well. Chemical scum on anything water stood in; bowls, shower, etc.
My thought is, if I'm not willing to drink from the tap, why would I want my 2 dogs and 3 cats to? We have a water cooler dispenser that comes with a detachable water bowl and the pet water dispensing button. They are our children and I try to treat them as well as I would 2 legged offspring.
I grew up drinking out of the hose for all of my childhood. Bottled water didn't exist. If you are on a municipal water system, you have better water than most of the world. Yes, I still drink water from the tap. If you have a well that is marginal, well you do you.
Load More Replies...A simple Chinese-inspired solution. On the eve of Y2K, there was much concern that airlines would be unsafe during the calendar change. So, rather than make a bunch of unreliable rules, Deng Shao Ping just decreed that top execs of all Chinese-owned airlines should be in the air, on their own airliners, at the stroke of midnight. An analogous solution here would be that strip mine owners would have to drink a quart of water downstream from their mines, every month.
Load More Replies...At the end of the day, funny is funny. And many factors contribute to whether or not we’ll enjoy a joke, including our upbringing, if we understand the context of the joke, what kind of mood we’re in at the moment and who said the joke to us. I’m sorry, but if you’re under the age of 8 or over the age of 80, you’re just naturally much more funny to me. And nowadays, I think plenty of “men’s humor” can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone!
I did that for my mom. I was 10 and my brother was 7 and we proudly held up a sign saying "Welcome back from prison mommy!"
Rather than "Daaaammmmn son!" I'd be going "Baaaaaaaammmmn Sean!"... XP
Funny thing is the crowd have no idea who the sign is for. So the only one looking dumb is the person holding it.
This is a good example of what guys think is funny . There is not one iota of intelligent humor in the sign.
I mean, if there were a big floofy bear in the lower right image I wouldn’t be able to tell 🐻

I think may see a lizard in the bottom right picture, but I'm not sure. Can anyone please tell me what the animal is?

Ah, the serene silence of my wife not talking to me for a week (1 day because I cheated on her in her dream, 6 days because she was too embarrassed to tell me why she wasn't talking to me).
My husband doesn't cheat on me in my dreams. He tries to feed me to alligators, leaves me to go on a random road trip he doesn't know when he'll return from, or decides we're moving across country and into a shack.
My wife has said she sometimes wakes up mad at me because of a dream. She can't remember the dream at all, but she's still mad.

Load More Replies...Wonderful when you have a sick burn in mind but just can’t say it out loud for fear of the entire relation being destroyed (:
This is in my head all day everyday. Brain: oh I've got a good one. Filter: under no circumstances do you say that.
And that is the reason why I’m living a miserable life, I have so many negative things I think which affects my relationships with everyone. Guys, please don’t be rude to others and try to focus on your thinking. It will benefit you and everyone else
dude if you are thinking that much rude s**t about the person anyway - then don't be concerned with how they took it - be concerned they are perfectly aware you meant more to it! And if your intentions behind what you said are so deep and negative then yeah you are rude.
Dude needs plenty of petting, head rubs, back scratches etc, the odd shower. You need to take them out, play games with them, love them. Having a boyfriend is not just for christmas, it's a life long commitment. Keep them stimulated and they'll love you forever.
Let it out a couple of times a week and it will feed on grubs, voles and chipmunks
Do I really have to say it? I guess it would fall in the wet food category.
No bras sounds good. And no need to walk home in uncomfortable heels either.
There was I think a Coors Light commercial where a woman came home cracked a CL, sat on the couch and took her bra with her shirt still on. I am a man (who doesn't need a bra) but she acted it out so well I felt it.
Load More Replies...Funny thing: Been going there all my life for these reasons. My parties started in the morning with gaming, snacks and ended with booze and drawing on whoever fell asleep with shoes on.
All this, plus the company of my precious kitty? Why do I ever leave home?
It feels illegal to me because of all those days I faked sick to get out of school. I’m sick? I must be faking it. Imposter syndrome.
My son used this excuse so much we actually stopped believing him when he was really sick.
Load More Replies...I always went to work sick and let them dismiss me. Then I'd call in the next day and didn't feel guilty about it.
I used to work in a school where if you were sick you were expected to provide cover work. I remember winding up in hospital and them asking. I had great delight in saying if I was well enough to provide cover, I was well enough to be in work. I was off work for six months and didn't provide any cover work in that time because, well, I was off sick!
I hate calling in sick, like what I don't sound sick enough? Then I keep overdoing it.
I had to call in sick for tomorrow because I had a doctors appointment and now I feel really guilty because I don't think they have a replacement.
My son has an old, really old unlimited data plan on his Verizon acct. He's one of less than 5 people in the state that still has it. They have offered him the moon to get him to switch off it and he won't. He runs his home internet off it for free, and there's nothing they can do about it because the law is on his side. The offer of a free Samsung Galaxy S24 does have him tempted, though.
Not always the case, I went to the Virgin Media website intending to cancel my TV with them, before I even talked to anyone the site popped up "I see your contract is due for renewal" and it gave me £20 off pm right then!
Not with Verizon! I get discounts and perks all the time for being a loyal customer. :)
Okay, so as a point of reference, a lot of new deals for cell phone providers are for new phones, since joining a company costs money. You leave your old provider and possibly pay off your old phone in the progress. Meanwhile the best deals on the service itself (data, phone, text, etc) go to long term customers. But people care more about the new phone over the actual service. Just remember, a new phone is nice, but the ability to use it is better.
Insurance!! My company finally offered to issue a 'new' policy so I could get a better rate - since I was investigating other companies. Saved more than $200 a year.

How else will landlords be able to pay their own mortgages? Gotta keep renters renting.
Oh, they know you can afford it. But they also know you can't afford the $200 homeowners insurance, the $400 property taxes and the $150 sewer and water bill on top of it.
Plus $2000/yr on random maintenance, and the occasional 20K to redo the roof.
Load More Replies...Sad but true. It's not the payments that kill you, it's the upkeep. That's why.
I got turned down for a $5k, 5 year motorcycle loan, so I put it on my Visa and paid it off in a year
Oddly, UK banks take rent as a baseline of affordability for mortgage now.
While this is logical, you're not borrowing half a million dollars to pay rent with bugger all collateral. It's not about how much money you make *at the moment* it's how much your asset/debt ratio is. They have to know they can recoup their investment if you default early on. Hence the large deposits required.
Yebbut, don't forget that one of the triggers towards to poor economic state you're in was the banks sub-prime lending, basically giving mortgages to people who were likely to default at some point. You can't have it both ways.
A - "people who were likely to default" also need to live somewhere. B - reasons for default in majority of cases were unemployment, interest rate rise and medical bills.

The best feeling is when you're in a girl's shower and you don't know what's what ajd you start pouring everything on yourself and it all smells flowery and sweet. Once I dated this girl. She had a girl roommate. In their bathroom I counted 20+bottles around the bath tub. None of them had "shower gel" or "shampoo" written on them. I was later told that the thick thing that was hard to get off my upper body was some form of conditioner I think. At least now at my girlfriend's place the bar of soap is soap and the shower gels are labeled as shower gels. The rest of the bottles I don't touch but they seem tempting.
That would be every mom where I live. Epidurals are deemed unnecessary in the Netherlands 🤷♀️

Or a bellyache from eating too much of the wrong kinds of food for no other reason than one of his buddies dared him to do it. While we endure the pain of monthly periods and childbirth—-as well as colds, paper cuts, and bellyaches.
My husband only pulled that c**p once, was super whiny & demanding when he got a cold. So I called his mommy to come take care of him & got a hotel for 3 days. He hated it (his mother infantiles him) and now when he gets a cold he quietly deals with it like an adult like the rest of us have to.

Just put on heavy clothes, a warm coat, a hat, gloves, a scarf, boots, then go out in your driveway and get a shovel, come close to a heart attack as you shovel 3 feet of snow, scrape the ice off the windshield, maneuver out of the driveway after three attempts on the ice, get stuck in the piles of snow from the snowplow on the side of the street, find a street that isn’t too slippery so you can go faster than 5 miles an hour, maneuver your way through snow packed streets and come to work. Take off your hat your scarf, your gloves, your boots, and sit down in your cubicle so you can stare at your computer for eight hours and answer zero phone calls because everyone else stayed home.

Basically, just like cockroaches, if you see a couple of them, there are hundreds more you don’t see.
