“Anything I don’t like is vandalism.”
God forbid someone stick a car wash flyer under his wiper or a church card in his mirror. He’d need inpatient treatment for trauma.

“Always there” is a funny way to say “gone when off or the power is out, won’t report to the police if you go missing, and will never drop off food when you’re sick.”
Perfect friendo for anyone who wants to atrophy into an unnoticed and unmourned death by never leaving their computer screen tho.

Apparently the word “bait” is going through a lexical metamorphosis into a command to “stop talking about things this click-farmer personally doesn’t want to deal with.”

Fox complains so Dems change the 25 back to 18 but now the GOP is calling them communists and saying only 5 people should own the country. Dems shrug and start erasing because something something gotta follow public opinion. The three actual center leftists in congress bash their head into a wall.

despite the fact that literally nothing of import happened, trump will benefit from what the media gifted him: some group of people out there absorbed those headlines and think that he either taxed the rich or wants to. but he didn't and he doesn't. he's just working the world's dumbest refs.

If only these guys could defend innocent people from insane conspiracy theories with half the voracity they defend bald faced corruption. No standards except double standards.

Five seconds on YouTube reveals a male dominated community of toy collectors with far more “dolls” than any kid I know. But it’s the children who are frivolous. They always go after a group that can’t talk back.

This is truly an age of insanity. Signing on to decades of debt just to cheat themselves out of the education they mortgaged their future for. Fake it till you make it isn’t a guarantee. Most will fake themselves out of skills employers need and never out earn the interest accruing on that debt.

There are numerous democratic socialist countries around the world with fabulous living standards for almost all of their citizens, but I can't name a single unregulated free market oligarchy kleptocracy or strongman dictatorship or exteme right wing theocracy that doesn't seem absurdly fucked up.

Looking forward to the next few decades where things turn to absolute shit and people learn the hard way the lessons their forefathers had already learned for them. Crazy how the generations actually left a better world just decided to piss all over that work.

Gonna be so cool when those years long Bot friendships culminate in the same “meals after calling hours” “car rides to the hospital” “emergency babysitting” “hugs when the dog passes” moments irl friendships provide. Oh that’s right they’re hollow language models cheaply imitating care & compassion.

Siri, is it a good thing when the government is mad about its citizens getting factual information from businesses regarding how pricing works? Sounds very democratically free. An under-reach if anything. -_-

You’ll never recover your pelvic floor function but if you’re lucky some military communications manager will award you your choice of blender or vaccuum after your last child dies in some bullshit war.

Idiots look back at population booms and think “more babies = prosperity” but anyone who listened for five seconds in biology class knows “prosperity = babies”
Not to mention the heinous ethics of economic solutions that boil down to “force births & indenture future generations.”

It’s the flip side of ppl believing if something is important they will just hear/learn about it by cultural osmosis. There’s a total lack of agency regarding knowledge acquisition in a lot of the populace.
“If I don’t know about it, it didn’t happen. > < If it did happen I’d know about it.”

This line is so old it’s like a boomer bat signal. It activates all the news-reactive olds sitting angrily over their coffee mad about a world that gave them stable jobs, livable income 20+ years of comfortable retirement and damn near unlimited consumption while their grandkids can’t afford homes.

It likely won’t even cover the copay and coinsurance costs even under gold plans. Let alone all the other birth related care expenses, income loss from more time off, and potential emergency costs.

Cant afford housing w/out 2 incomes but pregnancy in the labor force comes with high risks of being fired. Pregnant workers bosses often replace them with someone who isn’t about to be saddled with birth time off & primary caregiving responsibilities for the next 18 years. 5k won’t offset that loss.

Aside from the fact that’s obviously a lie, the lie doesn’t even make it better. “Oh we were still in the planning phase. You weren’t meant to see this until we had consolidated more power. Our bad, takesies backsies, we’ll try again later at a less convenient time for you.”

The right lies and runs so many scams on their own I can’t tell if this is real or a pillow pump.

When a poster is so frenzied to hype themselves they forget to switch accounts they definitely aren’t mad about something.

Hubris. Even wealthy supporters surrounding a dictator aren’t safe. Dudes with their own private security in the inner circle get offed. Anyone feeling safe when a leader has no accountability is living off pure hubris.

Gonna shock a lot of his supporters when he redirects this anti castle doctrine logic into the US. He already says he plans to ship native citizens to El Salvador. Workers/farmers/small biz will be screwed over & their complaints & pleas will be twisted into a justification to punish them further.

Interesting thing to watch all these men more terrified of having average income and occupation than empowering an impulsive authoritarian to grab enough power to window them.

Where’s all our never forget Benghazi peeps? Our pro lifers? Our anti-globalists? A ton of them are still sitting in congress. Why aren’t they blasting the message every day not to forget this illegally kidnapped and trafficked *living* American resident who can actually be saved?

Underrated observation.
