  1. yeah but it's more destructive
  2. i mean when you have a passle of kids you're bound to lose one here or there
  3. so basically he's trying to blame the court's TRO against DOGE, ostensibly using millions of American lives to bully her into modifying her order.
  4. fuck you, you stupid lazy motherfuckers article is paywalled...wtf is he talking about and is he serious? as someone married to an elderly SS recipient, gotdamn.
  5. 🤔 that's sounds a bit like "every other country has similar rates of mental illness why are we the only ones with people getting their faces blown off in school and church and grocery stores, what could the difference be?" almost like... there's something different about America 🤔 like... we're special. one might even say... exceptional. hmmm 🤔
  6. i think this is a great idea and Elon's followers should absolutely do this!
  7. i'm pretty close and i'm counting on it. i am not interested in dealing with cannibals, they're the worst!
  8. there's literally nothing about him that isn't stupid and gross
  9. hmmm i'm starting to see the actual plan here...🤔 'don't be silly, of course we're not going to cut social security, we would never! we're just going to make it increasingly difficult for you to actually figure out how to get it until you give up and die.'
  10. definitely agree on the social media point - it has changed people's brains. probably irreversable unfortunately, horse out of the barn and whatnot. also, valid point about the young'uns not engaging in as much, uh, extra-curricular distractions as we did. as far as finding better people...have you been to rural Anderson county? but seriously...she can't really 'change the subject' b/c she feels pretty hopelessly outnumbered. she's also not super confident in being able to argue her opinions which, yeah, that's a personal issue for her to deal with. i don't really have the same issue though...which i have no doubt is why these same conversations don't ever really happen when i'm visiting. heh. what she tends to do is just leave lol. like literally just flee. which has made for some awkward calls from dad: "where'd you go?? you got up to get a drink and just left??" 😄
  11. pos rep just for the username 😆
  12. my sister now lives in a NE Texas rural community/small town, and by circumstance and location is pretty limited socially to interacting with the local 'simple, common clay' folks out there. the very definition of a homogeneous population. per her lived experience the last two years, a direct quote: "omg these people will not just STFU bitching about shit! win or lose, all they do is bitch, bitch, bitch!"
  13. plus he's a comedian. nothing more attractive than a man who makes you laugh.
  14. i haven't watched anything beyond local news and Steve Kornacki on election nights since 2020. well, i watched about two hours the day somebody tried to put a bullet in Trump’s brain but even that barely registered interest. there is no need for opinionated news filters when the actual film, published statements, and seeing the words direct from the horse's ass mouth is horrifying enough. i will grant that a portion of those that voted for Trump do not fall into the 'just hurt people i don't like' camp. and a lot of those people are also shell-shocked by how fast and thoroughly the destruction is happening. but being naive and/or uninformed is no excuse, they still bear responsibility. but hardcore maga? the OG cult members? detestable assholes right here on this community? they're real happy about the trauma and terror. we've all seen it. just visit reddit, or some real life maga enclaves, or hell, some of the actual elected politicians who are on camera and online saying 'better get used to it!' and 'oh yeah there's more coming!' and folks like John Cornyn actually mocking his constituents. the admin is doing things to cause suffering and has basically gone on record with 'sorry, you're gonna have to suffer'. the co-president has literally said 'empathy is bad'. so, you know, gtfo here with 'they don't want people to suffer'.
  15. that's the main problem... fucking Brisket has been right about everything so far.

    that reminds me...we went to an afternoon matinee to see it and there were maybe 10 people total in the theater... including an elderly couple at the end of our row. they made it through the strip club intro montage, maybe 12-15 minutes? the first cut where we went from really loud music/shouting to a quiet shot we clearly heard them in the middle of a loud conversation "...naked! didn't she supposedly win best actress??" and they proceeded to get up and leave 😆 like i get not knowing details or being surprised by a particular story direction (e.g., i expected more of a 'Russian mob' type story myself where she was in literal physical danger and was super surprised and enjoyed that it went a completely different direction!) but in this day and age, how are you still surprised by nudity in an R-rated movie about a literal SEX WORKER and a Russian oligarch?? 😆
