Veggies, good for you, with the vitamin C and whatnot. Calcium, good for your bones and teeth and whatnot. Sounds like a good lunch to me! (My dinner Saturday night was 2 margaritas, so maybe don't take nutrition advice from me.)
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

Sorry, yes, it is a fruit, despite the crowd it hangs around with.
(I have a co-worker who delights in correcting me every time I call a tomato a vegetable. And yet I persist.)
t edit I gotta ask: is that a thing?* Do alla y'all refer to a tomato as a fruit, or a vegetable?
*(And by "thing," I understand the anatomy of a tomato and why that puts it in the fruit category. By "is that a thing?", I don't mean "Is the tomato really a fruit?" I mean "Do a lot of people really refer to it as a fruit?")

So I finally applied for unemployment. Which is really fucking difficult! (Yes, I'm lucky never to have to do it before.) Even with all my paystubs and copies of last year's taxes, I still had to do a lot of quick math, and I'm sure I got some of it wrong.
I don't know how people unfamiliar with big bureaucracies manage to get through the process--it's really intimidating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is it possible for me to make a joke about tomatoes being trans*? Scientists might say they are a fruit, but they definitely live life as a vegetable.

Yup. And people with poor educations and mental health problems and etc.! It's a miracle anyone ever gets anything.

Right? Solidarity!
(Okay, I shouldn't assume you are pro-tomato-as-veggie. But I will.)

"Do a lot of people really refer to it as a fruit?"
Only people trying to be annoyingly pedantic, IME. I mean, yes it is technically a fruit, but functionally, it is a de facto vegetable.
(Here is a special exception where any level of pedantry is okay by me.)

Then started on AHS.
Ooh, the first season is SO GOOD. I liked Season 2, and I'm really psyched for AHS3.
So I got to the DMV with a lovely 7 minute wait...to get to the counter and discover they don't take Visa. Great. Another trip to my favorite place, and now the wait is a half-hour. Ballocks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fruit and veg are not mutually exclusive. The definition of vegetable includes "a plant cultivated for an edible part." So, you know, fuck you for being so binary.
