Same. I’d rather spend 4 hours at the airport than 30 extra minutes on a plane. Add an hour for every additional round of boarding and deplaning.

I don’t think it’s been legally or physically possible to obtain this level of swagger since about 1958.

I’m amazed she still has this post up from January, which was dumb at the time and has only become even more so every day since.

I feel like I had to sit through endless conversations about mortgages and insurance. Would be nice if that had managed to work its way into my subconscious so that I didn’t feel so clueless about those things as an adult, but alas.

I’ve been sending mine to [email protected]. Not sure if that one is full too because I log off two seconds after hitting the send button.

I’d need to change my name and get some sort of sci-fi plastic surgery total face replacement before I ventured into public again.

Oh, and the lower prices are mostly because they advertise all their prices after a ~10% mail-in rebate (which comes back to you as store credit if you even remember to mail the receipt back).

I find the place disorienting, especially if you’re used to the other big box hardware stores. You go from plumbing to pet supplies to groceries then to outdoor furniture. I do like their lumber section though.

Also not a lawyer, but I am a federal employee whose job is in part to explain stuff like this to supervisors. I assume I will be fired in a RIF soon, even though I have been doing this since prior to Trump’s first term. The loss of expertise and institutional knowledge is depressing.

Not only would I be unable to look the judge in the eye after this, I would spontaneously lose the ability to make eye contact with any human ever again.
