Best I've had in YEARS! I'd seen 'em for $6-7 earlier in the season but I'd opted for larger ones for the same price. This was $4.99. My luck has been so bad picking watermelons that I just plan & make Drunken Watermelon off-rip! At least it's always gonna be sweet & I can get tipsy too! π₯΄

Y'all! These Black Diamond watermelons are The TRUTH! Sweet all the way down to the rind! Am I the last to know about these? Kroger $4.99 #foodsky

My hints fall on deaf ears because rescues have happened for decades, thru raising their own kids, almost into senior citizenry. Even the 20-something grandkids were told they are OWED family help & rescue. Too bad it'll come from the 'mean' relatives but hard lessons usually do!

When you have an important job where people have to trust you, don't have a gimmick look. Who would trust a mf'er who looks in the mirror and says,"Yeah, this looks good!" What ELSE can't you see and properly assess?!

You've been told the truth repeatedly...ironically, straight from a liar's mouth. "I grab 'em by the pussy. March to the Capital, take this country. I'll pardon 'patriots'. I'll be a dictator on Day One." Unethical, immoral people know truth is irrelevant without a violent consequence.

Know that my opinion, while controversial, is not singularly focused on neurodivergence. Narcissism and other pathologies are at play in all things. I just believe that ND accelerated/exacerbated the means, methods and results of all the other contributors FASTER than any other historical time.

If we acknowledge extraordinary abilities of -some- ND, we must do so for their extraordinary ability to wreak havoc. Did Zuck start FB for greed or to get a better chance by covertly gaining info on girls? Murdoch: greed or control of info? Musk: money or world control? What hath they wrought?
SugabelleWrites (@sugabellewrites.bsky.social) reply parent
I believe there's room for everyone (esp. the neurodivergent) that means they share blame. Those lacking the capacity for expressions of human empathy should have been balanced by pairing with or oversight from those who would speak/act for the highest goals of humanity. Didn't happen, here we are.
SugabelleWrites (@sugabellewrites.bsky.social) reply parent
Literally everyone's got a super computer yet larger concepts like morality when no one is watching, contributing to make the world better for others, ART! are all LOST because the masses got hoodwinked by the ND's who found no value in those things & hooked y'all on stuff they wanted & controlled.

All holding out hope for truth, justice & the American Way: who would provide armed protection of the Epstein Surviving Tellers? Start GoFundMe's so bosses firing them won't matter? What rich man's media is going to show their proofs unedited? The Felon has shown he'll make calls to do ALL OF THAT!

If ANY actual, truthful info comes to light, it won't be 'files' that have been in the possession of appointees, acolytes and quiet devotees to The Felon! What law enforcement agency would objectively investigate? Who would arrest, charge or judge the people in charge of armed, masked military?!

You HEARD a survivor say out of her own mouth that she is afraid to say The Felon's name. You SEE ICE kidnapping folk off the street & raiding rich men's homes. You HEAR the Supremes & Judges rolling over to comply or feinting at upholding the law. Yet you keep hope alive?

What MIGHT get released shouldn't be trusted. They've had them & access to them for too long. Whatever is released will throw small fish to the wolves and protect the big names right before those big names 'go into seclusion' somewhere non-extradite-able or die. Nobody is afraid of Dems or voters.

For all the over-emphasis on STEM and tech at the expense of what humanities teach us about how to get along for the greater good of self and community, what have we gained? People who don't know history, can't discern truth or what's best for most. Most can't socialize enough to procreate.

You have questions? Are whites the majority? Then simple stats would mean they have more pedophiles, right? Whites have solidified political power at all levels, right? Whites have the power to arrest & spotlight some while protecting & covering up others, right? So why do YOU recall the Blacks?

Ah, but like the millenia-old institution of slavery practiced around the globe, white men revolutionized, codified and took it to extremes unheard of! Y'all are PIONEERS of all ingenious inventions until their evil is pointed out. Then suddenly it's, "EVERYbody was doing it! Why single us out?!"
SugabelleWrites (@sugabellewrites.bsky.social) reply parent
That your brain focuses on "EVERYbody does it" to answer for the overwhelming number of whites committing a crime shows just how wedded you 'Never owned a slave'-types are to the culture of anti-Black racism.
