@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I fully expect my kids to move back home after college because they can't afford to even rent an apartment at first

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social That is low key horrifying. I thought they had some obscure skin condition

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I will never forget his true believer fascist bootlicking and his aggressively large head. Or his refusal to debate anyone who was able to prepare beforehand. But also how quickly his wife moved on to flirt with Vance in public weeks after his death. And also how, without a true cult follower, turning point has collapsed without any charismatic leadership and a collection of grifters at the core, but you know tomayto, tomahto

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I will be happy to answer my neighbors' doors and fend off those gestapo motherfuckers and browbeat them into questioning their orders

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social He and his brother need to be locked away to rot for the rest of their lives. Then immolated and baked into bricks used to build the interior of another prison so even their remains never get out

@evacide@hachyderm.io I read a short profile piece on this guy not long after the Platner allegations went national, and I am not at all surprised by this

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Unfortunately, most of those are so unwieldy at more casual events, so I usually stick to a wooden cup or flagon

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social It makes me miss teaching people about how erosion works with crushed walnut shells. (For reference, I worked at my local science museum as a teen. An exhibit demonstrated water centric erosion with a 20'x 6' geologic model with flowing water)

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social For a school shooting? A mosque or synagogue raid? Brown skinned people? A startling noise?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social While I don't approve of ridiculing someone's physical appearance. Andrew Tate's male pattern baldness should be brought up at every opportunity, especially in his presence. He needs to feel as worthless and disgusting as he tried to make women feel. And I say this as someone with male pattern baldness. Also fuck that guy.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Begrudgingly, yes
I thought he was a stain then, even when his initial fame in the '80s was peaking he struck the wrong chord with me, and I was a kid

@xan@xantronix.social Let us know how this works out. I will always have a soft spot for the G4 Cube. I kinda wish they'd put a current Mac mini board in an updated version of the cube chassis

@servelan@newsie.social @alice@lgbtqia.space That guy is a selfish dick, full stop. Fuck him and his entourage. Of course he broke maritime conventions/law, it inconvenienced him, and in his mind he's shielded from the rules of mortals and decency. Fuck him sideways and leave him in a ditch

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The best script to escape these people:
"I have to go now, my planet needs me"
Then turn on your heel and determinedly walk to the opposite side of the space and engage in conversation with literally anything else

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social UK Cheddar is next, followed by Gouda and many European made cheeses. Climate change is going to wreck European agriculture. Olive oil will likely be scarce in our lifetimes

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I like to be that guy. I helped a couple in the parking lot get a new toilet into the back of their car recently. I hold doors for anyone. There's a non-binary person at my local liquor store who counts off the seconds that it takes the payment terminal to process a card and damned if they aren't spot on. They were so excited when I asked how long it took to figure it out. I don't care if I get thanked, it feels great to be kind just for a moment and I hope I make folks days better

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Toss him anywhere his actions have had real consequences along with the details of his roles and intentions in it all, and he’d have such a lovely time. He’d have earned every bit of the response he gets

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Also, which god? That's a lot of ground to cover. P.S. kindly fuck off with that holier that thou BS. In this house we believe in Mothra
