I was convinced green was a red herring

"Johnson imagines himself in the role of cult leader"

Its national language is English;

I was about to make a snarky comment about the United States not having an official language, but apparently there's an executive (dis)order from March proclaiming English as the official national language

I hope Kilmar survives this bullshit, and ends up somewhere that he can thrive in

Edit: one of the answers below made me realize there may differences across generations and localities. I'm an elder millenial, and I'm in the US.

It depends on where you are, if you're in a loud bar or a club it's more common to use the buddy system when going to the bathroom. Sometimes someone will ask you to go with them if they are stressed or annoyed at something and want to talk about it, but that's rare in my experience.

Take a lipstick or something and "touch up" your makeup. That way you're waiting for them without seeming like you're waiting. But yes, generally you wait until your friend is ready to return. If it's a crowded restroom it's okay to wait outside, it's up to you if you want to tell your friend that you'll just be outside the door

It's okay to say "oh, I'll go with you" if you also need to use the restroom and it's not a loud and energetic venue. Sometimes ya just gotta go and don't realize until someone else is getting up lol

Wild that somehow America is much more idiotic than when Dubya was president. I really felt like Green Day had "sold out" with this album because everything was so on the nose, but I honestly don't hate it now.

I think it's odd given the the other "pride" dice. Especially peace, that seems out of place with the broader idea of minority pride representation.

I'm about to list my house for 20k more than I purchased it 3 years ago. When it goes on the market there will only be two other houses in the same price range (~100k range, with mine in the middle).

What she's saying is so insanely out of touch. That's a 70+ year old house and my elderly millennial ass could just afford it after years of saving

I won't be recomping the improvements I made to the house, that 20k is basically going to the realtors lol

I found a similar shirt on Etsy, purple is for Peace.

By the time I was a teenager I had some idea that what was happening to me wasnt "normal" but I didn't understand just how bad it was until I was an adult. My peers would sometimes stare in shock at what I was complaining about, but I think if an adult had tried to intervene I might have understood the severity of my parent's actions.

Young me was fairly terrified of everything, but I think we would bond over music. I work with teens that have similar issues now, so I know I'd at least be able to put myself at ease lol

Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something

Top center is Timothée Chalamet (Dune). No idea who the rest are though
