I can't even stand when my Google assistant says more than three words to respond 😂 if I start hearing ads out of that thing I will get rid of it faster than anything I've ever done

The frustrating thing about that though is, that's why they do this so that you get that coverage and just pay them extra money, so they don't lie about the damage. Damned if you do damned if you don't

I was with you in the first half, until you said you don't vote. You're as much to blame for this shit as anyone

The majority of Americans in general regardless of age didn't vote at all. I think I understand what you were trying to say either that or you were just being ageist

I understand the instinct for non-violence, especially when the system is working as intended, but nothing about our current system is stopping any abuse of power by anyone with power. The vast majority of the population does not agree with any of these political elites anymore, so it's not really about sides, the side doing all this is inordinately represented by their abuses of the system, and bombastic and offensive nature of their most zealous, they are not actually equal. These particular people have also been advocating violence for their compatriots for decades if not longer, so reasonable people across the spectrum are way behind the curve as far as their willingness to speak this way about violence as a last resort. It's normal at this point for conservatives to be heard calling very directly for killing progressives, particularly when only zealous conservatives can hear them

Maybe not a court provable thing, but the takeaway here is that conservatives specifically are willing to give this man infinite benefit of the doubt, to a level never seen before. Even if we can't throw his disgusting rapist ass in jail, he should 100% not be allowed to be president, much less actually succeed in that effort. It's sick and fuckin weird. If you look over all the actual criminal and civil convictions, along with general aggregate proof, additionally the proof of just being a small, bigoted, racist, narcissistic POS, and stack on top of alllll that these other general allegations, the man is clearly an unforgivablly worthless sack of shit that no reasonable person could possibly look up to. That's why true chump supporters are all either completely fooled by disinformation they CHOOSE to believe over all else, or "ends justify means" types who are lying to not look like pieces of shit themselves and live in a state of irrational fear, or straight up supportive of hate directly i.e. Nazis.

I don't like giving money to the homeless, that's why every month I make some grab bags, usually five or six because we have a few spots where people panhandle in my city. I based the grab bags off the weather, sometimes a cheap hat or shirt or sandals in the summer, and in the winter things like beanies scarves or gloves. Then throw some plant-based protein bars in there maybe a little candy, You will definitely want things that won't spoil in the heat of the car. Then a couple self-care items like some travel toothpaste and toothbrushes, chapstick gum that sort of thing.

Every time the dumbass Texans get fucked by their representatives the question their leadership for about a month from what I've seen 😂 then back to business as usual. they love the free market so much I'll bet they still haven't winterized their infrastructure after that cold snap that destroyed a bunch of people's houses. They probably don't even think about it anymore, guess we will find out the next time that it happens

Maybe a little lighter on the "west" side of things and a little heavier on the "weird" side of things. Nevertheless there is a lot of "western" here to justify it! This is one of my favorite graphic novels

 

Just thought it was funny that looking back I've used Reddit for over 10 years and I never actually paid them a dime. I feel really good about donating so much money monthly here, though, because I have so much hope for this place and a brighter future for us all in the fediverse. So glad to have a place ready to catch me when I drifted away from something I've been doing so long! Love the new home here! Let's all run off a cliff together!
