The 10th - 14th is an Amazon blackout. No purchasing from them specifically for the entire week.

Clocking in!

To think that vein popped because she was promised a helicopter arrival to her party and Anthony didn’t deliver. His coworkers coming in the background and shutting the door to the conference room, giving these two the side-eye while they were arguing sent me. The level of delusion this woman had was next level and I just remember sitting there at the time being like “Is this what rich people are like?”

Haha, the fans remembered this from the premiere to the end of season reunion. Andy Cohen brought it up a lot in the comments, lmao. I think we all legit thought we were going to witness this woman literally “pop a vein” on live TV at the time. So fucking campy, I love it.

Lmao! Thank you! This is such a sweet comment, and I too love when I can feel someone get super stoked over something “silly” online. Something wholesome about just knowing that a legit person is on the other side of the computer getting happy over something inconsequential, haha.

Finally! My time on Lemmy has come! For those who do not know, the phrase “Who Gon’ Check Me Boo?” was uttered by none other than Sheree Spring-Summer-Winter-Joggers Whitfield, of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, while arguing with her party planner during the Season 2 premiere in 2009. The phrase temporarily shut down the man’s argument, before the conflict then escalated to the point that both were shouting at one another, leading to the iconic vein popping out of Ms. Bone-Collector Whitfield’s neck.

(I know that’s not the point of this post, but the Bravo communities are the thing I miss the most about the other bad place, so when I see a RH reference, I fucking jump on it)

Oh I believe that 100%!

I suppose I’m a little more patient with it because I went through the same change myself, AND because I like people (finally) pointing out that we do have a system for socialized healthcare in America!

I mean, tbf, joining the military IS what made me start looking into the concept of Socialism and what it means.

Is the military socialism? No, us Enlisted have no power and the Officer corps is the “owning class”, but we have good, tax payer funded social benefits that I believe everyone should have access to.

It’s like a gateway drug into anti-capitalism idealogies. If the US is never going to go full socialist (or at least not in our lifetimes), then I think raising taxes and giving everyone TRICARE, VA Loan benefits, tuition assistance, and a pension will go a long way in solving most people’s biggest fears/relieving a metric fuckton of oppression caused by capitalism.

Also, having been to the Middle East and seen firsthand the stark difference of people driving around Ducatis and Lambos, parking in front malls inlaid with real gold, while 10 minutes up the road whole communities had built their shack homes in the desert with random odds and ends and thrown blankets over their windows was…I cant really describe the feeling I got. Dread, anger, immense sadness, just a whole myriad of negative emotions. Couple that with the intense religious fervor that is rampant in the region, and yeah, I have no idea how a military member can look at all that and be like “This. This is what America needs.”

Granted, yes, unfortunately a lot of our service men and women are still unfortunately extremely pro-Capitalism/Trump and Elon Musk fanboys…I just don’t know how.

Either way, my comment got long, but when people start in on the “The Army is Socialist!” Dont be mad. Educate! They’re at the very least coming from a place of “Fuck, we really could make everyones lives better if we give everyone these benefits that we enjoy so much!” And that shows compassion for others, which is something so fucking desperately needed right now.

True! Some actual info would be nice since this could plausibly be several people it seems.

Drunk brain just lit up last night and was like “The time has come to dispense Real Housewives of DC lore upon the public”.

(And sober brain is like: “Hey Self, Salahi didn’t run a ponzi scheme from the WH numbnuts, she just crashed a dinner”. So the other person is likely correct, and I posted out of turn)

Are we sure this isnt referencing Real Housewives of DC Michaele Salahi? Who Broke Up A Whitehouse Dinner?

And also subsequently married Neil Schon from Journey?

Idk wtf kinda bad ass stuff 8 year old you was made of. I rip my nail off and expose the soft tissue underneath that normally isnt exposed to air and it burns like a bitch for a while. Then when that wears off it burns if I catch it on anything until the nail grows back over it!

“So fluffy Im gonna dieeeee!” Vibes for sure

This. The entire state of Texas shut down for an entire week, and people literally died in their homes over 2 inches of snow in 2021. 2 fucking inches.

If your local area doesn’t have the infrastructure in place to support winter weather conditions, any snowfall at all may as well be a 4 ft blizzard.

I do! Bailey Sarian is a queen and I did indeed learn about Aqua Tofana from her video on it! I figured it was an appropriate username given the rise in redpill content/choices that certain governments have made in recent times, haha.

I saw the other post you made of your kitty chilling the other day as well! Tell her I’m a huge fan, and I’ll always upvote pictures of that cutie!

Boop!

Such a cute kitty!!!

Ah! We have a version of the tragedeigh sub over here too! It’s only got one post though, but this would fit right in it!

Oh my bad! I must have clicked the “iOS Test Flight” link first earlier.

Thanks for the clarification! Ive requested my access, so I’m stoked!

The moment it becomes available for Android, I’ll partake! I was/am a fan of TikTok. I learned a lot about world happenings from people as they experienced it first hand.

I know lots of people here hate TikTok because they think its a bunch of people dancing or whatever, but I saw a lot of good shit on that app.

You know what? I actually just saw her perform over the summer and she is still Queen status.

Better artist anyhow. You right!

Oof yeah. I’m so sorry about that.

I was never a Neil Gaiman girlie, not because of any vibes or anything, I was just reading other shit in my youth. But it was VERY clear from that thread that he was a very beloved author who touched a lot of lives. A LOT of people seem heartbroken about that.

Finding out those we look up to are awful incarnate is the worst feeling.
