For some reason Lady and the Tramp reminded my mother of The King and I. So I had to watch both in the same week for the first time, and it was a very weird experience lol

Edit: I just looked them up and they were made four years apart! I assumed the Disney movie was made in the 80s because I saw it in the 90s lol

I've been patiently waiting for moths pondering orbs

I lost a lot of cute erasers to the back of these desks

You're right. Broken neck during delivery, caused by excessive force from the doctor.

Absolutely horrifying

To be fair, I am also a millennial, but most of my friends were surprised when I told them about that correction I received from the younger generation. I guess that says more about my friends than millennials overall lol

I haven't worked in retail for over a decade, but that was the biggest fight I kept having with district managers/corporate. They kept telling me to hire more associates for one shift a week, when I already had keyholders and associates who were begging for more hours.

Shit, sometimes I "called out sick" just to give them more hours without letting anyone else know ahead of time. That lack of financial security is not good for morale or productivity, and I hate that the bosses refuse to acknowledge that

I've heard from Gen Z that ending a text response with a period is passive aggressive. So "cool" may have seemed glib on its own, but the punctuation might be giving an additional, if unintentional, tone

I'm glad this was the ruling. But will it stand up to appeal? In the 80s federal funding for highways was withheld unless the state complied with the new minimum age for drinking alcohol.

Edit: it was only 10% of the allocated funds, so maybe there is a chance

Uhhh... that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Do you mean styling baby hairs?

I moved from one county to another in the same state between the last two presidential elections. Three months before the 24 election I get a letter from my old county saying I need to prove my disability or vote in person. No idea what that was about, because you don't need to be disabled to vote by mail in this state. They obviously knew I moved five hours away because I changed my address everywhere and it was directly mailed to me, not forwarded to me.

So I wrote them a nice letter back saying I had moved and had already changed my registration to my new county. One month before the election all my friends had gotten their mail in ballots, but I hadn't. Turns out my voter registration was canceled in my new county by the old one. So I re-registered, took my new ballot home and filled it out. Then I took it to the courthouse to file, and guess what? My voter registration had been canceled again. I still have no idea if my ballot was even counted, but this county was one that was blue all the way down except for president

I voted by mail in '22 from my new address with zero issues from the old one. So I'm extremely suspicious at the length that someone went to in order to discourage my vote last year. I'm positive it happened to more people than just me
