Who are these weirdos who are filming their first date? If I'm on a date and the woman is even just on their phone a lot, the date is over.

But also, a bunch of you spineless Democrats keep voting for his appointees and, you know, that budget bill you enabled. 🖕

As a teacher, I start every class by telling all the students that they are actually the other gender. If they disagree, I allow that they may be non-binary or homosexual. Thems the rules in public education.

This is a huge obstacle when dealing with right-wingers- they're always mad at "leftists" and "woke culture" that only exists in their heads. So, we have to overcome that delusion before even beginning to point out policy facts.

This is a fake. I wish people would stop sharing fakes. They say enough real stupid/crazy stuff- we don't need to make things up. And it just feeds the rights "Fake News" narrative. It's counterproductive.

I'm sure a very strong letter will make him search his soul and reconsider.

It's as bad as Collins saying Trump "learned his lesson".

2/2 It's technology and lack of support at home. Just like adults are always on their phones, kids are worse and their brains are wired for immediate reward- which the internet provides in spades.
I work in a liberal city, so we don't have the curriculum issues as some other places.

My biggest obstacle in teaching is smart phones and lack of home support. I'm competing with TikTok, brain rot videos and games. Getting kids to focus in class when they have a laptop and the internet at their disposal is a losing battle. It's not "the system" that causes the most issues. 1/2

As a teacher, piss off. I'm tired of people blaming the schools for people being lazy and stupid. We teach the history- then as adults they go and either ignore the news or fill their brains with propaganda. That's not the teacher's fault, it's the individual's responsibility to stay informed.

You're right, we're completely fucked over here. Other countries should act as if there is an insane malignant moron running the US. Because there is.

I hope journalists are smarter than Pete Hegseth and know how to cover their tracks and secure their communications.

I really wish reporters would push back on these dumb ass answers. "Ok, you're not answering the questions, and what you said was incredibly stupid". Tell them to their faces that they're lying and/or moronic.

Great-gandpas, but I like the sentiment

Much like Wilson was wrong about everything until 2017.
You ever admit and apologize for your role in building the current GOP? Or admit that liberals were right in the decades before MAGA about everything we said about the GOP?

Nope. Part of the deal in a democracy is it's the voter's responsibility to inform themselves. Republicans have willing fed themselves decades of hateful Fox News and right-wing media that tells them the lies they want to hear. Fuck the willfully ignorant and fuck Republican voters.

She's a truly terrible person. And they brought the Libs of TikTok asshole along too.

This is consistently the most entertaining play in baseball. I love it every time it happens (except when the Mariners do it)

It's not really fair to expect people to take a financial loss because Elon is an asshole. But decent people should probably put anti-Elon bumper stickers on their Teslas.

David Brooks can go fuck himself.

David Brooks sucks out loud all the time. He is the king of "both sides do it'. He's always wrong, and he follows up any mea culpa article with 4 that explain it's actually Democrats fault we're in this mess too. Fuck David Brooks.

You REALLY need a better strategy than pointing out GOP hypocrisy. It's useless.
They have no shame or values, and don't care about being shown as hypocrites because they face zero consequences for it.
Their voters believe whatever Fox shits in their brain that day. The past is irrelevant.

I can't forgive "unobtainium" being the actual name of the ore the humans are after. Hearing actors say that seriously made me actually angry in the theater.

Jim Cramer is a fucking moron and a grifter. The fact that anyone gives him a platform is ridiculous.

I saw Hieroglyphics a few weeks ago. Del said don't let them steal your joy in these shitty times. Truth.

I like to play because it's really just a 3 hour walk through a beautifully manicured park while playing a game. I am not a good golfer, don't like people who take it seriously and don't respect people who don't walk (assuming they are able).
