    Being forced to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you is democracy.

    Im not sure why the blue conservatives are so worried about a one party government. Just work within the republican primary system and earn your incremental change!

    What’s wrong, you dont trust how republicans run their primaries?

    The universe was created and is controlled by a super being and when we die this being allows us to a magical place. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, but you asked the question.

    A lot of things from a particular family member

    This month: His buddy who’s a “mechanic” touched our car and did a bunch of “extra work” on it for a “great price”. Got it back and it sounded like they emptied the transmission fluid in the CVT. I got “it must be the drive shaft” and “don’t go down rabbit holes on the internet”

    It was missing transmission fluid

      The female lions do kind of have a more tiger look. What with no mane.

      “Lions are the boys and tigers are the girls.”

      Sorry about that.
      The internet didn’t exist yet and I hadn’t seen a tiger in a while.
      The “no mane” part started to confuse me as different species.

      They also used to be able to fly, according to my dad, who was not happy with me when I laughed it off because I thought he was joking.

        I think I laughed too, but it was the Sunday school teacher that shared that with me. I think that may have been the moment where little me learned that not all adults can be relied on for facts.

    When I was 6 by my older brother “The currents in currant buns are flies”. Didn’t believe him until I took a bite and felt the texture of the currant. Couldn’t eat them again until I was a teenager.

    Idk if it’s nonsense but when Ozzy died a coworkers told me that Ozzy was an American war hero who fought in the first gulf war and help liberate the people of Iraq, and then showed me a very bad AI photo of Ozzy sitting in a tank and flying a fighter jet.

      I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean it this way, but was he sitting in a tank that was itself flying in the jet? Because that would be even more awesome.

        No it was 2 separate photos of Ozzy in a tank and in a jet, I’ve tried to find it but it was on facebook and I don’t have facebook anymore and I don’t wanna give zuck my info just to look up AI photos.
