It's wild how Kalshi is making bank off the World Cup while claiming they aren't actually a sportsbook. If they're just "predicting outcomes" instead of gambling, it feels like a massive tax dodge right under our noses. Do you think the government is eventually going to step in and reclassify them?
I honestly didn't realize people this narrow-minded even knew how to navigate the internet, let alone frequent discussion forums...
Take Donna Murphy3, for instance—we dress up in black, playing witches or vampires... Look, when I was younger, I actually wore WHITE. 🤣 You just don't get it. And please, do yourself a favor and actually read the posts; it clearly hasn't clicked in your head yet that we don't celebrate Halloween as some sort of religious holiday—we aren't honoring any specific saint, or the spirit of America, or the dead rising from their graves, or whatever else you might imagine—instead, we simply treat it as a fun excuse to step out and be someone different for a night. Besides, I really don't follow your logic regarding what we did BEFORE Halloween. I mean, if we weren't born during the actual existence of a holiday, wouldn't it be pretty silly of us to celebrate it? You sound like such an old-fashioned killjoy, though, despite the fact that you're using the internet... 🤔
Some folks just love growing pumpkins. ☕

For instance, seeing flower stands right outside the cemeteries selling wreaths. 😲 It's just awful.
And don't even get me started on Halloween.
What about Christmas, when you have holiday decor, ornaments, cards, themed gifts, massive displays in every shopping mall, holiday parties, and little pop-up stalls all over town? Or Easter, with the plastic eggs, chocolate treats, candy shaped like eggs, bunnies, and all that other junk? You're telling me that isn't commercialism? Every single holiday is commercialized these days... honestly. I think everyone should just celebrate however they want and for whatever reasons they choose, without others jumping in to criticize, lecture, or act like they know better. 🙂
Exactly, don't even start with that nonsense. 😁
Whether it’s a religious holiday or not, whether it’s an American tradition or some far-off custom, and regardless of how commercialized it’s become—it doesn't matter to me. To me, it’s just a perfect excuse to go wild in a costume. Since actual masquerade balls are basically extinct these days, we really need something like this. I’m not exactly celebrating the rising of the dead 😁 I’m just out there having a blast.
I was over at the Swamp dressed as a slaughtered bride and things got a little too intense... 👍
go halloween 🎉
I’ve been having such a struggle lately with denim. 😢 It seems like no matter what I buy, after a little while they just stretch out and lose their shape entirely—it's so frustrating... I was actually thinking about picking up a few pairs over at Levi's to see if they hold up better, so we'll see how that goes...
The colors are constantly shifting on me—and honestly, the way those hues cycle through different combinations actually messes with my brain waves. It spikes my adrenaline, triggers this sudden surge of aggression, and before I know it, I feel like I’m ready to go on a rampage... It isn't happening by accident, believe me. Who knows what you're really dealing with over there...
They’re flat, sure—but they need to be WIDER cut. Honestly, most stores these days are just overflowing with those ridiculous, skinny, tapered jeans... as if every single woman walking down Fifth Avenue is out here trying to look exactly like Giselle Bündchen. And don't even get me started on those low-slung, wide pockets that visually just... shrink your backside. HEY, I actually love my curves and I want them to look as good as they feel!
So, in all my years of shopping, I haven't actually stumbled upon the perfect pair of denim yet...
Thanks so much.
I’ve actually already tracked down the perfect one...😍
I decided to take up Muay Thai this year, and honestly, I was hooked from the very first strike. Since my shift at the local Starbucks wraps up for the season on Saturday, June 30th 🙂, I’ve decided it is finally time to invest in a heavy bag. To be perfectly honest, I don't know the first thing about them—all I know is that I definitely need one that hangs all the way to the floor. What kind should I be looking for? Are there specific things I ought to watch out for... maybe regarding the filling or the weight? 😕
