HE! HAS NO IDEA! WHAT A SELF-OWN THAT WAS!!

He probably went home and told his dog no he’s too shitty to have a dog girlfriend AS IF goldfish all about how he owned the libs today by triggering some Lesbaru driver so hard she… took a picture of his sticker. OWNED! He’s doing Kek’s work, there!

For a bit I was pondering how he would know I was a Librul by looking at me– I mean, it’s a Subaru, right?– but then I remembered I have a little BB-8 thing hanging from my passenger visor, and just above it I have a tiny Pride flag clamped on by a hair thingy because I never found anywhere better to put it, so he’d probably see the rainbow thing if nothing else, so I guess I’m not exactly stealth, but– 

Clearly, he wanted me to be offended, but like– By a super-basic boring decal that I’ve seen thousands of variants of? Or– really, who gets offended by a Marines logo, they’re on like, every tenth car around here. It’d be like taking mortal offence at– at something omnipresent, I dunno– oh! those inscrutable lighthouse bumper stickers. 

Now that I think of it though– I don’t know what those mean, actually, and it kind of haunts me. 

(I think they’re Buffalo-specific but Google can’t help me. They’re oval, and purplish, with a yellowish light house drawing kind of filling the whole sticker vertically, and if there’s text it’s too small to read, and sometimes one car has like four of them on it, and I don’t know what the fuck it means, and Feelings Guy, I promise, I have already spent a hundred times more thought on those bumper stickers than on yours.) (Dude thinks they have something to do with Jehovah’s Witnesses but I swear we don’t have that many of those out here.)

OK BUT THE THREAD??? Tumblr this is what kills me, you screenshot an amazing Tweet but don’t link to the source or UNROLL THE THREAD! So then I have to go read Twitter myself and lose my entire goddamn mind. Anyway!

here’s the OP and here’s the followup: 

There was another amazing thread on how fucked the Domino’s pothole-filling squad was, but this was from the same poster so it was easy to find. The other thread was about the concept of “prevailing wage” and how Domino’s was surely paying their workers minimum, meaning the job wasn’t going to skilled tradesmen and is further aiding the slippage of the former middle classes into poverty, but now I can’t find it. Anyway! There’s some underpinnings for that punchline.

There’s no hilarious interaction in this one

There’s no hilarious interaction in this one because I was next to him instead of behind him at the stoplight this time, but on the same stretch of road as my hilarious interaction with Feelings Guy last night, I pulled up next to a car whose rear windshield was coated in vinyl stickers that, among them, said “Ballin” in cursive script, and also had a “No Fat Chicks” sticker, and when I came up next to this dude he was a pink-faced slicked-blond-hair squinty-eyed raw-chicken-looking motherfucker in his early twenties, and I really wanted to roll down my window and ask if the “No Fat Chicks” sticker worked or if it was just his personality that did the trick, but I didn’t, because I’m a grown-up, and I was too busy giggling at him. 

Same stretch of road! Another inexpensive silver car.

How ballin’ is a silver entry-level four-door sedan of not-very-recent make, really?? I mean. I don’t know. 

We’re put on this earth, and there’s sunrises and sunsets and endorphins and serotonin and rock and roll, and shit, and this is how this raw-chicken-ass douche expresses himself? Bro get a fucking hobby. 

I have got to get out of these suburbs.

Fibrevolution - Oregon Tilth:

unicornduke:

Neat article if you’re interested in this sort of thing. I definitely am! They talked a little about availability of seed. I have difficulty finding more than two or three fiber varieties in packet sizes, let alone what larger plots would need. That’s why I’m growing out two varieties for seed this year. Just doing increases. But a cool article.
