The US over here was supposed to be that way, with the separation of church and state.

As you have likely seen—due to the ceaseless amount of news about the US everywhere—that is a fucking joke now. Our country is overridden by the devils evangelical spawn.

Really? What’s it like?

Same as you. I have avoided it this far. I think Imma back up for a little while. I cannot, cannot see that shit.

I’ll just go outside and read a book.

Are you serious? Holy shit. I haven’t seen any at all. But just the thought that someone is posting it. I hate people sometimes.

Well damn. Thank you. Saving this! I have Ublock origin already. I’m excited about the other suggestions too!

Pinterest is half the fucking google image search. Bye! And the other half is shopping ads. Google can kiss my grits.

That’s messed up. I wouldn’t put up with that shit. It’s like counting digital calories

It’s hit or miss. Some employers check your references diligently and others don’t.

When I hired someone (creative field) we definitely checked their job title in conjunction with what their portfolio looked like, whether they passed a test and how well they interviewed.

Some had great references, but not those other things.

If you can’t do your job and don’t know basic things, I don’t care who you know. They would get further screened for educational and criminal background anyways.

The bomb was in the top left you say? How? I’m too tired to figure it out.

But I did download Minesweeper immediately after seeing this post. I think I need to flex my brain more.

If you are in enough mental distress self harm starts looking like a real good idea as an excuse to not go to work. Of course it’s not logical or reasonable. It’s a reaction to stress. It’s an irrational intrusive thought.

If I hadn’t experienced something similar I would feel a little skeptical. :(

I agree! I keep saying the same thing. I think he was allowed to kill himself. They put him on suicide watch as a suggestion to him. That way their hands are washed of him by his own hand.

I agree. I think that he knew that Russia was going to attack Ukraine. (It is weird how trump got involved with Zelensky during that infamous phone call.)

Trump tried to get us (US) out of NATO so bad because then we would be free to use our military power in favor of Russia against Ukraine.

Apparently child-labor is on the rise. More kids, more money to make in their cheap exploitative labor. 14 states have proposed or enacted laws rolling back child labor age restrictions.

That’s funny. There is one post for your enjoyment surrounded by ads and suggestions. My goodness.

I can’t think of a similar example for myself, but I appreciate that you have shared this.

Here’s a story I posted here. https://lemmy.world/post/1007343

All my other writing is on Reddit. I’m trying to figure out where to post it so I can work on it while letting others see it.

I am always editing things until they feel just right and get feedback. Reddit was perfect for that.

I’d love to read any of your writings.

I’m excited! I’m working on a long story whose first chapter I keep editing over and over.

I also like writing horror. I’m supposed to be working on a horror DND campaign right now too.

I like to write poetry, but can only write it in a different voice other than my own.

I forgot all about the winning part lol

Did you ever find a partner? I’m game if not

Wow! That’s crazy. You saw it go through so many changes then.

Just made 10 years. Gatdamm I have 184,742 karma over there. I didn’t realize lol
