  1. Oh, here's some more, totally non-shithole things:
  2. And your point is what, exactly? Politician has different opinion today than he espoused 16 years ago News at 11.
  3. Things were more obviously at a breaking point in the 60s. We're in a Constitutional crisis right now, with a Supreme Court of political hacks and a political party that controls many state legislatures telegraphing that they'll install a GQPer into office regardless of the true election results. But we don't have violence in the streets or a situation where even the white GOPers have to worry about their kids getting getting drafted into war unless they were wealthy. Instead, we have a country brainwashed by facebook and Tucker and paying more attention to Johnny Depp/Amber Heard than rising fascism. Just look at the posts on this board, saying why are you hysterical, women can just travel to other states, they'll never go after other things. We're entertaining ourselves to death, while the fascists take over the country. This was rambling. But I don't think the issue is division of the country, so much as that most of the country is living in an alternate reality, and can't work up the enthusiasm to care about anyone or anything, so long as they can live in their 4 bedroom house in the burbs and afford cable with Fox News on it.
  4. The problem's not the Constitution. It's a piece of paper. And only has as much value as the people in charge give it. The people currently in charge are treating it like toilet paper, while being cheered on by a few and ignored by many, who are receiving a steady diet of empty rage on gas prices, transgender athletes, and drag queen story hour.
  5. It was just a ruined vacation. But people are just so stupid. We're having a surge of cases, and everyone's like well less people are dying from it. So let's spread it all over the fucking place. And who gives a fuck about the economic impact of people out from work. The same people who wanted to kill Grandma so they could eat at Applebees, are fine with Applebees not being able to find enough workers because everyone's out sick, or having to cancel their vacations. It's bizarro world.
  6. After avoiding it for 2 1/2 years, I tested positive at the beginning of June. It seems like everyone I know who hadn't gotten Omicron in the last wave has gotten whatever the latest variant is. Pretty sure I got it on the 6 hour flight that was delayed 2 hours in the plane also, in which I was about the only one in a mask. I get that it's milder now, but so stupid that we're sitting in basically the same place for hours on end, where essentially there's no way to avoid giving it to your neighbor if you're positive, and no one can be bothered to put a fucking mask on. Like that's a bridge too far. But apparently having to isolate once you're at your destination is a-okay.
  7. I've lived in NJ for years. My last job wanted me to move back to TX, and I said no, and don't regret that decision at all. I live under an hour from NYC and the beach, and within maybe 90 minutes of the mountains. Have four seasons, none of which are extreme. Legal pot. And as a woman, I have access to healthcare. I live in a town that is walkable, with good restaurants, bars, theaters, etc., public transportation, parks, and some of the best public schools in the country. Yeah, the cost of living and taxes are high, but you get what you pay for.
  8. What the fuck is wrong with you?
  9. We all know the answer to that one.
  10. trump. that's it.
  11. There was a 4 page thread on this. And LO fucking L at how seriously the very concerned posters were taking the murder of Judge Salas' son:
  12. Because how else do you get to get away with killing a 12 -year-old Black kid with a water gun, unless it's reasonable to think everyone may be carrying an AR when you encounter them? Also, job security and cushy overtime providing "security" to the over 130,000 public schools in the country, as well as every house of worship, shopping mall, movie theater, grocery store, and on and on.
  13. Yeah. But I’ve never caused a car accident. Why should the gubmint force me to pay for liability insurance. I’m a great driver who would never use my car irresponsibly so I should be able to do whatever I want and fuck society.
  14. You’re burning your UT degree, right? Since government is useless and you’re getting no utility you received from a government institution.
  15. This happened in Vegas and we’ll they did ban bump stocks and acted like that solved all our problems
  16. It’ll give them someone to blame at the next one. If only that dumb bitch who lived off the government teet for years hadn’t waited so long to fire at the shooter and didn’t have horrible sim she could have saved the lives of the poor students in her protection
  17. She’s not the lucky one. Her family is. She’s going to have to live with this for the rest of her life.
  18. You say that as if facts actually matter.
  19. The death of 10 Black people going grocery shopping in Buffalo didn't keep him up at night. Neither did 23 at a Wal-Mart in El Paso, or 10 at Santa Fe High School, and I could go on for pages. I certainly don't wish this on anyone. But I'm not sure why Republicans get to gleefully wish for lib tears and support policies whose entire point is cruelty, and then ask for sympathy when the cruelty they cheered on hurts them. He was fine with these deaths when it was someone else's child being murdered.
