Hope you effectively learn that lesson. I don’t blame any country for turning away from the US. Stupid people electing destructive narcissists and doing absolutely nothing to prevent it.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 day ago:
Agreed on all counts.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 day ago:
In the short term, yes.
If trump remains in office after this term, absolutely yes.
If we get a different admin - not just another republicrat trump clone - they’re going to habe to spend an inordinate amount of time fixing all of trump’s fuckups. One of which should be restricting any wannabe monarch’s ability to rule by decree in the US.

We’re back to cable. Buy the channel packages (streaming services) and now you have ads and pay-per-view.

It’s hard to believe that a reddit post about being able to tell if someone is a decent person based on whether or not they put a shopping cart away has stuck around as long as it has. It’s a pretty arbitrary metric.
- Comment on Try going to public school 3 days ago:
They’d just do what they always do. Apply more force with their wealth. They’d have private armies to protect themselves, expect the taxpayer to help the poor billionaires by paying for some of it, quash protest, etc.
- Comment on Anon wants $3 million 3 days ago:
That’s the point.
They didn’t want anyone to be actually able to get the money.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 4 days ago:
There’s plenty that are mad.
Just that the minority that are happy about it and the billionaires that own all forms of media keep sweeping that fact under the rug. Or they put a question mark at the end of it. Are Americans all that upset about trump? How much damage is trump really doing? And then they softball the response to questions like that with “who really knows what the damage will be? when it’s objective what the results are and the future holds.

At home…whatever.

You’re the same MF who will refuse wage raises, deny days off, fire people with cancer who miss work, and take credit for your employees’ work when you make management. You’re the problem.

Yep. The recycling of profundity.
- Comment on Anon visits a bookstore 1 week ago:
Awards are meaningless. “NYT bestseller”, just as meaningless.
Books are personal, like art, you probably will not actually like the vast majority of what you see. Even if you appreciate the effort that went into it you wouldn’t want it hanging in your home. Some of it is just hotel art. Mass produced for consumption, everyone sees it, but it has no staying power at all. A lot of books are crap, and I really like books.
- Comment on imagine 1 week ago:
I’m sure it’s already been done. Just locked away until nothing more than strong concerns can be voiced by ineffective authorities.
- Comment on I'll show them 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Unfortunately. This sounds far too likely.
- Comment on What do I do? 2 weeks ago:
I cannot believe the number of jobs there are that one’s employment is held hostage over and contingent on never missing a day of work. Doesn’t matter if it’s illness or PTO.
- Comment on Snap, Crackle, Transubstantiate 2 weeks ago:
Oblaten are a little difficult to get in a lot of places that don’t use them regularly like the US. I’ve only ever seen them once at a specialty store and that was only for the holidays where people might make Lebkuchen.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 weeks ago:
I don’t have a problem with tipping. I have a problem with restauranteurs taking the profits and the customer being asked for more and more tips. I can’t help people’s life situations, and I’m sure they aren’t all down on their luck any more than someone working retail. Yeah, I avoid places that expect big tips, so the servers get no tip at all instead of some tip.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 weeks ago:
I’m tired of this excuse. These people took the job knowing what the pay rate was, and are demanding the customer pay their salary directly rather than the employer like virtually any other conventional job does. Customers have had it, they’re being told to give employees raises along with rising food costs, even at businesses that don’t do a damn thing for the customer except maybe hand them a to-go box. 20% for that? F no. Grow a spine and demand real pay, people have had it. IDK how I can travel almost any modern place else in the world, pay for a good meal, and only have to leave the approximation of $1 or so for appreciation of the service, but in America I pay for the food and a separate charge for the employee’s “pay”.

She can’t run for shit, I’d bet. She wasn’t running anywhere except to her side piece’s house. Point was to be away, the excuse was the 5k.

- Comment on USA Question | How much is a dozen large eggs near you? 3 weeks ago:
Dozen grade A large:
$4.69 from our more trendy expensive store.
$5.09 from our “cheap” store.
Weird that the expensive store is cheaper.
We have an Aldi, too, but they don’t have their price online.

That helps, thank you.
- Comment on you are the democratically elected leader of a liberal democratic country which so far has had a good relationship with the US, how do you and your country survive 4 years of trump? 3 weeks ago:
By hoping it’s only 4 years.
- Comment on Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬 3 weeks ago:
My concern as well. Trump really doesn’t seem to give a damn this go-around. There were people in place that hit the brakes on him last time, but this time nobody’s doing shit.

Easy for you to say. Most of the time kids will try to be a part of their parent’s lives. It’s really easy to suggest you’d crash out at the first opportunity, but a lot of people in abusive relationships don’t for a multitude of reasons we won’t fit into this discussion. Especially true for kids as parents are a child’s whole world. There’s no shortage of tales of kids spending a lifetime trying to work around a parent who is abusive or destructive.

A decade later: My kids don’t talk to me. I don’t get it.
- Comment on Mental Healthcare costs thousands of dollars and is hard to access? That's *crazy*! 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t make sense to send people to the ER? I’ve read too many tales of people going themselves or taking someone else and the ER kinda shrugs because they’re not equipped to really deal with whether or not to commit someone, or if they can hold someone, it’s usually only for very short periods of something like 24-48 hours.
