One item. I remember where it was. I put it somewhere new. Still remember where it was and have no idea where i put it. I've done this all my life. I've realized this isn't a 'getting older' thing. It's more of a not learning from my mistakes thing.

A co-worker abusing refrigerator privileges. Someone shoved a whole case of bottled water in there at one assignment.
  Presently, I was crowded off a shelf by someone with more groceries than some campground stores. These include about a dozen different dips, sauces, dressings, and condiments; a gallon jar of pickles, a gallon bucket of pickled veggies, a half-gallon of tea, a quart of coffee creamer, and a sealed can of beans. Plus a travel mug.

At my last place of employment, it wasn't just refrigerator privledges being abused, it was also the microwave too in the employee lunch room. Nobody bothered to clean the microwave if there was a "food explosion" and the microwave looked gross.  As for the fridge, people would put stuff in, and then sometimes they'd forget about it and then we'd have horrible smells coming from the fridge and/or containers of food with mold growing inside of them.

Try some cosplay, bike ride, work on hobby projects, then tune in to FPS.

Just realized that about one third of contemporary country hit songs involve trite colloquialisms, such as "I saw the light", "Bet your bottom dollar",and "She's got her father's money, her momma's good looks..."

I second Kobuk!
I love your art, I remember watching Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and instantly recognized them in your one piece!
Thanks

Thank you Jade! And I'm a huuuge Rescue Rangers fan so it was nice to finally be able to do a piece featuring them.

news forum / Re: US Supreme Court overturns Roe vs. Wade.

« Last post by Simo on June 24, 2022, 06:51:21 pm »

Regardless of whether you liked the result or not, Roe v. Wade was a hideous decision that should have never happened in the first place. The reasoning defied all logic, and the terminology was just plain weird with its "emanitions" and "penumbras" (what were they discussing? Constitutional law or solar eclipses?    ) I'm surprised it took this long.

The SCOTUS returned the issue to the states to decide. Some states will opt to prohibit, while others do not. That was how the issue was shaping up before Roe happened. If you don't like how your state decides, you can vote with your feet. That's the genius of a federal republic with semi-autonomous states.

Another case of be careful for what you wish: you just might get it. The first time a frightened 14 y/o girl shows up dead of a botched abortion,we all know what happens next: it will be on a 24/7 news cycle. Any pro-life candidate will find himself hard pressed to win election as a county dog catcher. They'll be wishing the SCOTUS left well enough alone.

This will also become a full time employment situation for lawyers once the litigation ramps up.

the polling booth / Re: Furries at Pride Events?

« Last post by Kobuk on June 24, 2022, 02:11:15 pm »

I don't go to Pride events nor do I wear furry stuff anymore.

If you don't mind me asking why do you no longer wear furry stuff anymore?

Simply put, I'm pretty much retired from the fandom. Don't go to cons, furmeets, wear furry stuff, etc. As you get older, the hobbies and interests you once had when you were younger change over time.
