Less Sad More Gay!

I wish I could favorite things a hundred times but instead I will do it once and then reblog it while crying.

Dollar General keeps their bathrooms locked up like the Hope Diamond AND they’re nasty. It’s crazy. You’ve been driving for hours. You’re in the middle of mulefucking central Virginia. You come to a crossroads and there’s a Dollar General. You park. You go in. Nobody in the fucking parking lot. Somebody’s baby standing in the middle of gum aisle staring at you first thing. You’re there about to piss yourself, politely and quietly asking the cashier “May I please have the bathroom key?” while she fights with her baby daddy’s new girlfriend and then when she finally gives you the bathroom key and you go in there, it’s dark, it’s mysteriously wet, there is blood on the toilet seat, no hand soap, no paper towels, 3 sheets of 1 ply toilet paper on the roll, broken mirror, broken sink. You have the most unsatisfying piss of all time. You leave the bathroom and genuinely contemplate cracking open a bottle of hand sanitizer on the shelf. You’re trying to decide if you should buy something out of sheer politeness. While you’re standing there in the lip balm section, that baby from earlier runs full force at you, smacks into your leg and ricochets off, starts sobbing and his mom comes down the aisle glaring like YOU did it. You go to checkout with your stupid $4 hat and your chapstick and there’s a guy at the only till paying for 27 frozen dinners using only dimes.

they never fucking have soap. it haunts me. you sell soap. where is the soap

You have this moment of “Should I just go grab a bottle off the shelf or will they get mad at me and/or make me pay for it?”

was all of that true???

Yes. In Ivor VA. August 2020.

I have a dollar general near my house and idt ive ever seen the bathroom. I dont think i want to now.

Not an optimal piss local as they make you get the key from the clerk AND they’re nasty. To clarify, I don’t make a habit of going into DG to piss but I spend a lot of time in rural areas and it’s usually the only business in a 25 mile radius.

Not a DG story but this did happen in rural VA and was one of the worst bathroom experiences of my life. I’m driving to a hike and I get a surprise period, so I stop in the busling crossroad of Syria, VA for supplies. I go into the general store, which is the only establishment in town, and find some tampons. As I’m paying I ask the clerk if they have a bathroom I can use. Now anyone who’s had a period and probably most people who haven’t could figure out what’s going on here. I’m buying only a box of tampons and asking about a bathroom. But this woman looks me in the eyes and says they don’t have a bathroom, but there’s a campsite down the road with a pit toilet I can use. I have too much social anxiety to say what I was thinking, which was “ma’am I know you have an employee bathroom but instead you’re going to send me off to get blood all over my hand in a pit toilet!?” Since I’m afraid of confrontation more than period blood, I just made it work with bottled water and hand sanitizer. Which I’ve done enough backpacking and field work to be okay with, I just could not get over someone who presumably had been in a similar situation sometime in her life really going “fuck you, deal with it” rather than breaking an employee only bathroom rule.

I hope every one in the notes excited about this printer goes to the link and signs up to receive updates so the people making it can actually see the amount of interest this project has.

Reblog for everyone

There’s a total of like 6 steps to stir fry and I just found like 8 ways I’ve been doing it less than ideally. Thank you for this! I’m definitely making stir fry this week and I’ll be using this to guide me.

Many food banks, at least in my city, do not have any sign up or qualification process. When I got food from the Food Bank of the Rockies I just showed up, waited in line, and they gave me a box of food. So if you don’t qualify for snap, but still need help, food banks are there for you too.

I have just tried this, it works and the explanation how to do it was so user friendly and clearly laid out.

imagine NOT being the gonads

Why do they need to be separate guys then if they all come from the same egg? I’m so curious what the evolutionary advantages or history of this is.
