This was a fun read! Her customizations are so cute and I love that she’s a Stardew Valley player as well.

I live in a very blue area, but most of my coworkers are conservative. I spend a lot of time at work so inevitably political topics come up here and there. I have to handle them with kid gloves when we do talk politics, but they do extend respect to me and can agree to disagree with me. Well, as respectful as they can be considering some of their conservative political beliefs.

Your knick knacks are pretty rad! Cool use of the china cabinet.

I understand, my kid isn’t that many years from when he was a toddler. These particular processed meals aren’t any easier to prep than some cheese and crackers or portioning some from the parent’s plate of food.

Those packaged toddler foods are expensive as well. I’d wager most parents are simply giving their toddlers portions of foods they eat themselves over buying this crap.

Yes, yes, makeup is pure wizardry.

It looks like she loves you very much as well! That’s a happy kitty :)

Bullshit, you said you still can’t understand why people do grocery delivery.

You don’t understand the words you’re saying apparently.

I love it when people who visit try to preach to an American the truth about America.

Shitting on poor people sure is something you can do.

God forbid the focus be where the actual corruption is and not scrutinizing a family’s choice to get grocery delivery after working 80+ hours a week.

Good job actually focusing on the real issues, oh enlightened one.

I didn’t say shit about using Amazon and Uber Eats.

I called you out for being judgmental and punching down on people poorer than you.

Pretending that there’s no greed or selfishness in your country is wild.

Again - there are over 350 MILLION people in the US. You only make yourself look ridiculous to paint every one of us as never seeing the rest of the world or never budgeting or never suffering from anything than our own personal choices.

Wild.

You’re shitting on the individuals though.

You’re not intrinsically better because you’re from Europe or wherever the fuck.

People are struggling. It does nothing to punch down right now.

There’s 350 million people in the US.

I see people struggling, but I also see a lot of money spent on what I consider to be bullshit

I was nodding along with you until this line here.

Not everyone is as lucky as we are to be in a position where we aren’t struggling as much right now. It’s not entirely their fault for struggling either. What you find worthy of spending money on, others will find wasteful.

Yeah the upside to my kid being able to explore music and have that whole world opened for him outweighs moving to a different, but still shitty in various ways, music streaming service.

I meant on Reddit as well.

Some may use AI, but looking at post history is a long held tradition on social media sites.

Same, I still lurk in some subreddits because there isn’t a spot here for them yet. Niche hobby subreddits are Reddit’s strong spot.

Nah I do my own post history digging by hand. Usually only look when a user is being particularly ornery or an ass and then a post history look reveals whether they’re a troll or not.

Rape and death threats. Threats of bodily harm.

More diversity, but since we’re commenting under a new user’s comment, that may be correcting itself.
