It doesn't necessarily have to be about a trip you took. It could be about anything, even something you feel you were specifically asked about. Do you think the people who ask you about those things really care about the things you care about the same way you do and so they want to hear everything you have to say? Maybe they do, but it's really very rare for people to care about things the exact way anybody else does.

Just because somebody asked doesn't mean they care about the thing. A significant majority of the time people ask, and then actually listen, it's because they care about you, not any particular thing. And those people probably like to be heard just as much.

I've heard rumors that it was leaked by the GOP specifically to get him to drop out before it was too late, but he's a stubborn Trumper, so I hope they're enjoying the beast they created.

I wouldn't say zero penalty; his poll numbers are shit. They were before the story leaked, but nobody seems to be Teflon the way Trump is. He's possibly tanking North Carolina down ballot, and could even flip the state for Kamala. His political career is surely finished. It would have been before now if the GOP had their way, they tried really hard to get him to drop out.

Do you think everyone you talk to enjoys every aspect of the things you have to talk about? Do you appreciate that they listen?

That is accurate in a theoretical bubble, but in practice, in a two party system, in an incredibly close race, it's simply not true.

I feel like if you're unsure enough to ask the Internet about something like this, the safest bet is to just not do it.

Sounds like you're gonna do it anyway, tho, so good luck.

By your own logic if A wins by 1 vote and you chose not to vote for your guy, B, you essentially gave your vote to A. Good job.

Must be nice.

We live in a two party system. Not voting for your guy is essentially a vote for the other guy. Especially when elections are this close.

I definitely use more than I need. #Privileged

I look really young. Like I'm 40 but routinely pass for early 20s or even late teens if I do my makeup with that aim.

I get carded buying alcohol a lot. I hated it until I was about 27, and it really started to make me feel great! Especially once my gray hair started growing in (I dye it regularly so nobody really sees them, but I know they're there). If all you're trying to do is guess how old I am from how I look, I will love your answer.

But people often judge my experience or expertise as if I am only as old as I look when I am really twice that age. I hate when people assume I'm the office assistant or new hire when I'm the Assistant Director. I had physical therapy for several months due to a chronic shoulder injury, and the old ladies there loved to tell (not ask) me that physical therapy must be so easy for me as if my joints aren't fucked and my pain and effort aren't real. Still pisses me off so much.

And don't get me started on the creepy old guys who see legal jail bait...eugh.

W's office has already said neither he nor his wife will comment on how they're voting this election.

He wrote in "Condoleezza Rice" in 2020.

At this point there's no way to do it legally. Ballots are already being printed. But legality's not an issue for Trump and his personal fan club.

I think Vance could step down, then Trump would have no running mate, I think? And a VP would be appointed by Congress if he wins? Idk.

It's me. I'm that ghost. Or I will be one day.

Jasper's a pretty popular stripper name, it seems.

eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

Ditto. It was totally worth it, I loved my mirena. But yeah it turns out you can pass out from the pain of having your cervix tugged on, and my doctor told me to quit being so hysterical. Like I was making a choice to lose consciousness for the fun of it.

I didn't even get ibuprofen, I just got some mifepristone in advance that does not treat pain at all.

There's not as many as you'd think, it's just they're all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It's like confirmation bias.
