I'm not sure what that means. Care to elaborate?

Gay 'lifelong Democrat' who voted Trump opens up on what's happened to him since coming out as pro MAGA
(www.dailymail.co.uk)
A lonely little girl discovers a tree with a face carved into its trunk, and though it’s twisted and ghastly, she feels an odd warmth in its silent companionship. But as she shares her secrets and wishes, the tree’s hollow eyes begin to change, revealing a loyalty far more chilling than friendship.
A quiet man’s peaceful life unravels when he begins hearing faint, unsettling noises from beyond his walls.
A man begins receiving phone calls, letters, and visits from strangers—all insisting that he’s dead and must “let go.” As he fights to prove them wrong, he notices his body is changing, and the world around him slipping into shadow, until he’s left wondering if they were right all along.
A family notices a strange figure in the background of their TV every night, growing closer each time they change the channel. When it finally reaches the screen, their world is never the same as they slowly become what they have seen!
Thank you for this. I'm not super familiar with that area of political background, so thanks for that insight.
oh good point! I'll tweak it for that
Fairmont, WV – Pierpont Community and Technical College will host a series of events open to the community during “Your Community’s College Week” November 11 through November 15.

And it may very well put me in it! haha
So far, I haven’t really felt the effects of aging too much. Maybe it’s because I was lazy when I was younger and never worked out. Since I was never super fit, I don’t really have the experience of losing that feeling of fitness.
Even here at 55 years old, because I'm more fit than I was when I was younger.
One thing I've noticed though is that I'm definitely a little stiffer in the mornings than I used to be—especially in my lower back. Not quite at "old man" status yet, but I do find myself needing to stretch and loosen up in the morning, which I never had to do before.
The biggest thing for me, though, is keeping the motivation up. I enjoy being fit, but sometimes it feels ridiculous. Like today, my "fun" challenge is doing 500 arm reps just to say I did it. Younger me would laugh at this and think it would be badass. Older me is like, "Really, dude? Who fucking cares?" Still gonna fucking do it tho. haha
Not to brag (okay, maybe a little), but I had a nice ego boost the other day. There’s a girl at work I’ve known for about a year. We never dated or anything, but we always vibed and this week timing was good, and she came over. Before we got to the fun part, we decided to take a shower together. When I took my shirt off, she said, "Damn! Where were you hiding this body?"
I’m not an action hero, as you can see from my picture. But being 55 and hearing that from a 30-year-old def boosted my ego. I know logically it’s because she expected me to look a lot worse at my age. haha
But hey, I’ll take it.
I guess my point is, it’s this weird mix of vanity and the drive to push myself just to fight against ageism. I work in an elementary school, and the kids were doing a rope climb in PE. I jumped in and raced the younger coach—and I won! One of the kids said, "Wow, I didn't think someone a 100 years old could climb a rope! How'd you do that?" They overlooked that the coach is pretty out-of-shape, even tho younger than me.
Physically, I think we can still handle the college athlete grind. Mentally, it’s a different challenge because it’s easy to think, "What's the point?" And life gets in the way a lot more.
But I’m hoping this effort leads to a better quality of life in the long run, so I’m sticking with it.
nothing as cheap, abundant and non-toxic as toothpaste.
Which is why I love your post. Thanks for posting OP, and ignore the haters.
I can get why some people voted for Trump. Like the economy, not feeling listened to, lackluster Harris/Biden, etc. (not me, I voted Socialist, by the way.)
But I am really really surprised at how these abortion measures are being rejected.
Every woman I know thinks abortion is a women's right, so I just can't wrap my head around how so many measures are being rejected.
And on another note, ranked choice voting was killed in my state. Like WTF? Who in the world doesn't want ranked choice? Ugh! lol
It's hard telling with him, because he never tells the truth. I don't think he even plans shit, I think he just does things on the spur of the moment.
Which is why he is going be disastrous for our country in the near future. lol
Oh god. This is beautiful! Thanks OP!
It's not spam. It's one article I've posted here on this instance today and it got copied over to one other instance. Not everyone has access to every instance. So that doesn't really count as spam.
Also, the article matches the title, even tho you may have tried to report it for spam by mentioning that the video had nothing to do with the article.
But it's not a video article, it's an article for reading. I don't play the videos.
