These people are way too comfortable saying the wildest shit

Mathing out how much money per kid was spent versus how much their shitty fucking school food cost made me so angry I deleted it and wrote this instead

there are ticks out there leeching off school children the same way they do prisoners, and it is fucking gross on both counts and a demonstration of how absolutely morally bankrupt our society is

adventure time indeed, jfc

everybody deserves tasty and nutritious food, safe and warm shelter, comfortable and clean clothes, healthcare, and community, and I will fucking fight a motherfucker who wants to disagree to my face

fuckers. gd this shit makes me so fucking mad.

if the chemistry was right, we would then sneak away to the top deck to actually do it in the full sight of god and all their satellites, but we would put on a very good show involving the chicken dance in erotic ways never before dreamt of

if the chemistry was off, we would high-five and call in reinforcements

What are your protologisms? (hexbear.net)

I was going to ask about your social group's neologisms but then looked the word up to make sure I was using it right and discovered that's not what they're called when they're just used by one small group:

The most precise studies into language change and word formation, in fact, identify the process of a "neological continuum": a nonce word is any single-use term that may or may not grow in popularity; a protologism is such a term used exclusively within a small group; a prelogism is such a term that is gaining usage but still not mainstream; and a neologism has become accepted or recognized by social institutions.

So! Are there new words your household or friend group have invented and started using? What are they?

Any you've heard somebody else using that you've adopted or detested?

are you conserving brine to drink (hexbear.net)

Not trying to judge, just trying to understand where we are in the spectrum of human behavior - when you eat a jar of pickles or olives or whatever, what do you do with the brine? Do you dump it, use it for something else, or drink it?

I know someone who saves it to drink it later. He is my husband. Honestly, even after 20 years together, I didn't realize this about him. I thought the stockpile in the door was just a collection of forgotten empty jars, and I've been dumping them as such.

Which is it:

I'm a terrible wasteful sinner?
He's a freak?
Neither/Both, there's a special middle ground?

No judgement or emotional attachment here, he can have an entire shelf of the fridge for brine jars, idgaf. It just never occurred to me to that I should consider stockpiling brine.

Are you stockpiling brine? What do you do with it? "I'll drink some with breakfast tomorrow," is a perfectly acceptable answer. Just curious if yours is different.

Don't be a coward. Come on. Live a little. Put some dried cranberries IN the brownie batter and then bake it.

You deserve something tasty. Yes, you. You're a gorgeous creature, and I love you.
