I'll try to remember to upload the pic later. It's not a very good picture, but then, I was wary of trying to get too close.

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.”

And they now expect the part in tomorrow, at which point we should be able to make an appointment to repair.
As I reiterated - but briefly, because the person making the call was not responsible for this situation - a delay in shipping is one thing, but lack of communication is something very different.

I sent them another voicemail and email saying that a delay in shipping or even ordering a part may be acceptable, understandable, or forgivable, but lack of communication is none of those things and if they don't get back to me with an ETA on this repair then they'll have to refund our deposit so we can call somebody else.
Either way, I know how I'm spending the next few hours (laundromat) and how I'm spending tomorrow morning (phone).

Name: Star/Soda
Age: Late 20s
I mostly post about: Fanart, fanfiction, character/story development, personal ramblings
My hobbies are: Illustration, writing, collecting figures, plushies, and other merchandise (both official and fanmade)
My fandoms are: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003, IDW, 1990, Splintered Fate), Pokemon, plenty of other animated TV shows and video games I won't bother listing
I'm looking to meet people who: Share my interests, are open-minded and respectful, and otherwise pleasant and chill to be around.
My posting schedule tends to be: Aiming for at least once a week, possibly more frequently depending on how chatty I feel or if I have art/writing I'd like to share
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I do not tolerate any form of bigotry. AI "art" and "writing" is also a major no-no, and I have a few major squicks on the shipping front that I prefer to avoid as much as possible. In addition, I will not subscribe to or add users to my access list who are under the age of 18.
Before adding me, you should know: For the moment, none of my entries are locked and anyone is free to subscribe. If an entry has potentially sensitive/triggering content, there will be a warning beforehand. Anyone is free to comment on my posts as well; however, I prefer to interact with others who are at least 20 or older, and will not be responding to comments by minors.

Name: Risa
Age: 36
I mostly post about: I ramble briefly about writing, wrestling, people, whatever I'm feeling. I try to save my most crude and raunchy language/ideas for the fanfiction that I write. As a person who's been on the Internet long enough to know what it's like to run a Geocities site, I've seen... oh god. I've seen things. We've all seen things we cannot unsee. Sometimes I can be a little sardonic and grumpy about it, but I have a sense of humor. I'd always rather laugh, even when I'm crying. Not in a toxic positivity sort of way, but more in a way that I don't burden people with too much emotional baggage.
My hobbies are: Writing fanfiction, reading books and wrestling fic, watching emotionally damaged pretty people in tights get into stage fights, cooking and baking, and walking/jogging/hiking as my antidepressant (I've lost 95lbs. I am a weight loss advocate, but I'm neither fatphobic, nor do I view weight loss in an of itself as fatphobic. Let's respect each other, OK?) I'm not nearly the gamer I used to be, but I have dabbled enough in JRPGs, D&D, and Magic the Gathering that we can have conversations about all of these things.
My fandoms are: World Wrestling Entertainment (the superstars, particularly Dusty's kidsf*ck the company, though!), South Park, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Final Fantasy (in general, but 9 and 8 are overwhelmingly my faves) Stardew Valley, and gosh. Take me back to 90s/early 2000s Nicktoons and anime all day.
I'm looking to meet people who: I'm looking for chill friends who do their own thing, but take the time to say hello every now and then. I will try to do the same. I've been showing up to DW every day since I registered, so I dare say I'll be around. The only other social media site I use is Tumblr, and I don't do much there other than like and occasionally reblog wrestling stuff. AO3 is the site I'm most active on. I go where the fic goes.
My posting schedule tends to be: I'm aiming to update 3-4 times a week about any thoughts relevant to writing, but I won't force it. If I got nothing to say, then that's that. IRL, my life is super boring. I work. I exist. Not much to say about that. Carving out a little writer life on the Internet is my excitement.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: People under 18 is a hard no. MAGA is a harder no. If you are an existential threat to my people in the LGBT community, I don't respect that and never will. I will fight this prejudice until my dying breath, including any random internalized sexism/queerphobia that may still linger inside of me.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm just a writer, guys. The current flavor is kinky wrestling yaoi, which you can read on AO3 if you're interested. Other than that, I'm cobbling together a collection of original work. My favorite DW community is![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fic_promptly, and I plan on posting a lot of fills. I'm still getting used to being back on DW. Apologies if I'm not always consistent.

sad dirty elder millennial commie seeks friends for virtual coffee
Sep. 3rd, 2025 04:29 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
marycuntrarian posting in addmeName: Mary Cuntrarian or Kat, my real nickname. She/They
Age: near 40
I mostly post about: Right now my journal is new so I'm not exactly sure but I haven't written anything since about 2015. I'm mostly posting stream of consciousness thoughts and things that won't leave my brain like themes in fiction and in life. I might make my journal friends-only soon since that's a thing I can do and write things that are more personal because my life is sort of a mess at the moment and I need to write it out. I'm an artist and I've been putting a lot of effort into my art career recently so I know I'll be writing about my process and struggles there.
My hobbies are: I dabble in all kinds of painting and crafts, but mostly watercolor and ink. I crochet, do some embroidery, I'm relearning web design and have started making web pages as art and for fun. I used to play more video games but nothing has caught my interest lately but I have played Disco Elysium, Fallout 76, Stardew Valley, Breath of the Wild, some GTA Online, Animal Crossing (Pocket Camp, but it counts!) and other random rpgish games. I also have been playing a lot of Dungeons and Dragons lately, and I love coming up with characters! Trying to get back into writing, right now just blogging but maybe fiction and poetry soon. I don't know if I'll write fanfic, I have started making icons again and I think I'll have fully regressed into my old LJer self if I write fanfic again. Which might not be BAD.
My fandoms are: Currently I have some hyperfixations but I hesitate to call them fandoms in the old fashioned way. I'm less obsessed with things than I used to be but I will say my old fangirl tendencies have popped up a little again.
Right now I'm into The Matrix movies including Resurrections, Neo/Trinity might make me read fic again and I'm also watching Sense8 for the first time and I'm really liking it so I'm in a Wachowski Sisters kinda mood.
I love AEW wrestling and I'll list my favorite wrestlers for you if you care. lol
I'm also watching Legends of Tomorrow and almost done with it, pretty into it and I love Constantine.
I recently read the Southern Reach series and could talk about those books forever. Jeff Vandermeer and Edward Carey are my favorite living authors with Shirley Jackson being my favorite classic writer.
Music I'm fannish about is Lord Huron and Tyler the Creator. I'm into indie hip hop and I've gotten into riot grrrl music for the first time recently.
I'm looking to meet people who: Just want to talk and connect? No bullshit, just sharing random cool thoughts and ideas. I'm a stoner, can we start an internet blunt rotation? lol
I've seen a lot of people saying this online recently but I'm looking for that old internet feeling again. I made a Neocities page, I want to talk to people about shit again and not just tweet a few sentences and hope it gets likes.
My posting schedule tends to be: Sporadic as of late but I'm going to post more now that I'm here. I was posting on tumblr here and there but I felt like there were no conversations to be had there. I'm aiming for once a week at least.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: No bigotry, no terfs, no AI worshippers, MAGA-heads or generally fuckery. I'm basically a dirty commie and I'm not too afraid to talk about it so if that makes you uncomfortable oh well.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm currently struggling quite a bit in life, lost a lot of my agency and control because of lack of money, lost my apartment, and my general sense of self so I might talk about that at times. I'm disabled and queer, neurodivergent and cannot find a job to save my life and currently live with my partner and their family which is rough. If you don't want to hear about my personal bullshit from time to time, I'm probably not the person to follow.

Name: Jack/Jackdaw
Age:44
I mostly post about: writing, life, parenting, school, work, sometimes politics, sometimes other hobbies
My hobbies are: writing, drawing, web stuff, reading, misc fiber arts
My fandoms are: at the moment, Fourth Wing with a side of the Untamed and All For the Game
I'm looking to meet people who: do interesting things, share interesting facts, recommend interesting books, etc... mostly I'm just looking to add some people to my friends page.
My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic. sometimes it can be multiple times a week, and sometimes I will absolutely forget dreamwidth exists.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: life is too short to deal with people who just want to argue with me. I'm trans and neurodivergent and pagan and a parent and if any of those would bother you, well, now you know.
Before adding me, you should know: two unrelated but occasionally controversial things: we're a plural system and we still mask in crowded public spaces. Neither comes up often on the blog but both have turned out to be dealbreakers for other people before.
i mean lots of complaining that it hasn't rained
Sep. 2nd, 2025 12:58 pmkeplers_angels posting in addmeName: Keplers_angels. I answer to Trudy, but it's not my name.
Age: 46
I mostly post about: I mostly write to make myself real. And to stun people with my wordery. To give consolation. (or wound) And to figure it out.... Been journaling a long time so there are shifts in topic climate but generally it's a lot of poetry and poeticity on sex and angst with smatterings of perimenopause, breastlessness, and feminism, interpersonal relationships... what to do with my life?! existential and metaphysical drama.... I don't shy away from much-- I come to confess. There will be adult content. There may be mathematics, politics, pain, complaints and exhortations, poems and poems and poems and lots of complaining that it hasn't rained. (In general though, my posts are usually much more readable than this is.)
My hobbies are: This. This is my hobby. Outside of work, which is a whole thing, this. I write. I try to make myself submit poems to stuff. I read books, I waste untold hours on fb, I'm learning to sext, I practice yoga, I over analyze things and am pretentious and arrogant except when I'm in joyful denial or drowning in insecurity. In short, I tell the truth about myself -brutally- but I'm not a very reliable narrator.... what was the question again?
My fandoms are: I don't fandom here. But I lived very happily in Man From UNCLE fandom for most of a decade. It saved my life. Sometimes I'll still do an erotic little fandom vignette but fandom's not why I'm here.
I'm looking to meet people who: write similar, or completely different, kinds of things. Mostly I'm looking for my early aughts LJ experience back. I want people who write with emotion and who will read and comment on my posts as I will read and comment on theirs. If you're not going to read your friends page then I don't want you on mine.
My posting schedule tends to be: In 2025 it's been pretty every-day-ish. (at least weekly, usually more) Which pleases me and I hope it will last. I am not *as* punctual with my friends page and comments but I always catch up-- weekly give-or-take.
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: stalking. violating my privacy or anonymity. I'm not opposed in principle to friends of different belief systems to mine but of course, we all have limits, and I'm not going to censor my own posts to avoid those kinds of things. Content wise, if you post something I can't abide, I'll unfriend. But I don't like my echo-chamber to be too constrictive.
Name: Katie
Age: In my 40s.
I mostly post about: I mostly post about life, work, going to school, my writing, concerts, music, the sims, graphics, and book reviews.
My hobbies are:reading, writing, the sims, hiking, concerts, hanging with family and friends
My fandoms are: I am not in any fandoms. I used to be in LOST. I am more into music which is Jamie Cullum, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Britney Spears, Fall Out Boy and a lot more.
I'm looking to meet people who: Those with similar interest
My posting schedule tends to be: I don't have a schedule.
When I add people, my deal breakers are: People who aren't nice to others, racists, fascist, bigots
Before adding me, you should know:I do not add minors.
The IRS invites the public to participate in an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparation and filing options, which will run through Sept. 5, 2025.
The survey is being conducted as part of the Department of Treasury and the IRS’s efforts to fulfill a reporting requirement to Congress under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act. The law directs Treasury to deliver a report to Congress by Oct. 2, 2025, on several key issues related to free tax filing options for the public.
Treasury and the IRS encourage taxpayers to share their perspectives and help inform this important congressional report.
Translation: We have to report to Congress about the public's interest in Free File (filing directly on the IRS website) because they want to quash it, so here's a survey!
survey here
There are a couple of leading questions that I personally found HIGHLY entertaining. But I do recommend that if you are an American taxpayer you take a look at it/take it.
There was one question that asked what's important in filing taxes, and it had an "other" option that opened a handy text window, so I used that text window to tell them all about how filing taxes is a waste of time and money when the IRS already has all that information. There is absolutely no reason they can't just send you a bill or a refund every year, with a receipt, and you'd only have to file if you had to correct errors or had income or deductions that had been unreported for whatever reason.

So, responses here are not terribly helpful.
The OP is specifically confused about the use of the prhase "such as" in the highlighted sentence. I said that this is not wrong, it's just formal and old-fashioned, but like most Americans I've had very little formal education in English grammar and with google I still can't find either the words to define it or a few well-placed citations by prestigious authors.

Sep. 1st, 2025 11:10 amraptureofthemoon posting in addmeName: Lins
Age: The answer to life, the universe and everything (42)
I post: Snippets of writing, fanfics, ruminations, random thoughts, journal entries, notes about what I'm reading, watching or playing.
Hobbies: Writing, reading, artsy things (sketching, gelli prints, collage, etc.), video games (Minecraft, Fallout, TES, Stardew, Dishonored, and more), hiking, swimming, wandering... I could go on.
Fandoms: Currently: Star Wars (I live in the Clone Wars era for the most part); Skyrim; Fallout; Cyberpunk 2077.
Looking to meet people who: Have similar interests, share their thoughts, ruminations, talk about their passions, can commiserate on how we could do better as a species because *gestures broadly*
My posting schedule is: Sporadic. I've had this journal for years (it's an import of my old LiveJournal which I started in 2001) but I've long been on other social media, much of which I've deleted over the last year. I'm working on getting back into blogging and reducing the time I spend on places like Reddit.
Before adding me, you should know: I'm a lefty. I don't plan to post about politics here (I tend to do that elsewhere) but I reserve the right to vent on occasion.
I'm an atheist. (I don't go out of my way to harsh anyone's personal spirituality but I am critical of religious institutions and this does affect how I navigate the world.)
Reading and posting may be sporadic as I work on parting from other social media and reviving my blogging and creative writing.
Dealbreakers are: The usual -isms and phobias. Trump voters. Nazis. AI devotees. General assholes. (Wheaton's Law, eh?) Tl;dr: We can debate pineapple on pizza (I'm pro), we will not debate human rights and wellbeing.
Age: The answer to life, the universe and everything (42)
I post: Snippets of writing, fanfics, ruminations, random thoughts, journal entries, notes about what I'm reading, watching or playing.
Hobbies: Writing, reading, artsy things (sketching, gelli prints, collage, etc.), video games (Minecraft, Fallout, TES, Stardew, Dishonored, and more), hiking, swimming, wandering... I could go on.
Fandoms: Currently: Star Wars (I live in the Clone Wars era for the most part); Skyrim; Fallout; Cyberpunk 2077.
Looking to meet people who: Have similar interests, share their thoughts, ruminations, talk about their passions, can commiserate on how we could do better as a species because *gestures broadly*
My posting schedule is: Sporadic. I've had this journal for years (it's an import of my old LiveJournal which I started in 2001) but I've long been on other social media, much of which I've deleted over the last year. I'm working on getting back into blogging and reducing the time I spend on places like Reddit.
