Can someone explain what a grand jury is exactly.

There's an anime YouTuber that made an 8 hour video defending NFTs and one of the arguments is "people use a lot of energy to heat and cool their homes too". Stupid as fuck.

What does Reddit smell like? I imagine it smells like the plasticky inside of a Funko box.

It better. I love a good video game couch, e.g. ICO.

Also bike lanes.

Maybe. I assumed her BF's family were regular Canadian shitlibs but she told me before the dad buys Black Rifle Coffee and I'm assuming there's no one apolitically buying that coffee.

My sister is hosting Christmas and letting her BF's dad cook a lot of it, i. e. explicitly non-veganizing it so mynMom and I gotta' make a bunch of food for ourselves now. Can't even give me vegan whipped/mashed potatoes. And she's usually good about trying to accommodate me.

Posts in estranged parents' forums are vague. Members recount stories with the fewest possible details, the least possible context. They don't recreate entire scenes, repeat entire conversations, give entire text exchanges; they paraphrase hours of conversation away. The only element they describe in detail is their own grief or rage. Nor do the other members press them for more information.

Compare this with the forums for adult children of abusers, where the members not only cut-and-paste email exchanges into their posts, they take photos of handwritten letters and screenshot text conversations. They recreate scenes in detail, and if the details don't add up, the other members question them about it. They get annoyed when a member's paraphrase changes the meaning of a sentence, or when omitted details change the meaning of a meeting. They care about precision, context, and history.

Reading this site since someone linked it was on Reddit talking about how reactionary boomers perceive the world.

Also was a Disney-Adult, in a way.

Literally longing for like 2020, 2021 at this point. Every year since then has gotten worse for me and I think the world too.
