nope. they might be counting dumptruckloads of cash, but $0.00 of it will have come from me

when is every media outlet going to stop playing along with this stupid "saving money" narrative? it was never about saving money, or efficiency, or literally anything any trumpistan official says it's about

shift the conversation around the fact that they are deliberately destroying the country, and maybe something productive can happen. this whole "hey waitaminute!?! they're nOt SAvInG aNy MoNeY!!!" is such a fucking waste of time

i can think of much more exciting things to do if i had a death wish tbh

187 days, if you're walking continuously 24/7

copying format should be the thing that takes an extra keystroke, not pasting without it

going by the packaging, you'd think those pills will make your junk explode. i was always curious to try one, but kind of scared ngl. guess i'll wait until if/when i actually need the "help"

if you press a thumbtack all the way through the lid near the edge, it completely negates the "push to turn" child safety--just open it like a regular bottle
