Countess425@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many pieces of toilet paper do you use to wipe after peeing?8·8 months agoI definitely use more than I need. #Privileged
Countess425@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy's have you ever been "profiled" or judged preemptively? What is your story ?151·8 months agoI 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.

He wrote in “Condoleezza Rice” in 2020.
Countess425@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'Trump is desperate': Ex-GOP aide thinks a Vance-RFK swap is a real possibility43·10 months agoAt 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.

Countess425@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What kind of jelly do you use for your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?3·1 year agoTraffic Jam.
It’s got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek’s on I35 outside Waco makes the best.
Countess425@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Paris Mayor Says Russian, Belarusian Athletes 'Not Welcome' At Olympics3·1 year agoLike I said, it’s about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.
If you really cared to see the best, you’d know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.
Countess425@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Paris Mayor Says Russian, Belarusian Athletes 'Not Welcome' At Olympics242·1 year agoThe competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.
There’s also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I’m pretty sure that’s irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It’s really about viewership.
Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.

Countess425@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Anxiety symptoms we don't talk about10·1 year agoMy mom deserves to be yelled at but she’s incapable of introspection, so it’s just a waste of breath. 75% of the time, husband does not deserve it. :/
Otherwise let’s just say I’m texting this during my vape in the bathroom break! Slay it, queen!
Countess425@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Key Trump Lawyer Withdraws as Manhattan Criminal Trial Nears111·1 year agoYou only pay a certain amount up front. Once that amount is used up, they bill hourly sending invoices once or twice a month. When he doesn’t pay that, the attorney quits, and trump has to hire a new (sometimes team of) lawyer who needs time to get up to speed on the case and it can be a delaying tactic as much as lowlife-ness.
Countess425@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what are the most ethical places to give your stuff to in a will4·1 year agoDonating to just about any charity is a noble cause! I’d also suggest establishing scholarships with educational organizations you like and, depending on the size of your estate, consider endowments that ensure continued support to those organizations.
Countess425@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Kevin McCarthy’s Final Act of Retribution Totally Screws Over the House GOP4·1 year agoThe Government will shutdown on Jan 15th if they don’t pass some sort of legislation, and that’s also super bad for the “governing” party.
Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.

Countess425@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Well, We Have a Speaker. He’s an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist.8·2 years agoHow much is that in mooches?
I found out a few Christmases ago that I really love gingerbread houses. I used to build scale models in grad school and got really into it. Gingerbread houses are like that but without grades or measuring. My weekend plans are to order trash pizza, put on Home Alone, drink some weed sodas, and decorate gingerbread houses til I’m too stoned to hold a piping bag.
I also love that it is cold and I can snuggle my husband to suck up his warmth and make him yell when I touch him with my cold toes. 😈
