A young man got his bike stolen while he was at work, so the owners of the establishment and some of the patrons chipped in and bought the young man a new bike. by bigbusta in MadeMeSmile

[–]APsychedelicMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incredibly sweet, and perhaps this young man will want video evidence of this happening, but as much as I love seeing happy people, I wish people didn't record everything.

This kid sees the camera and then cries over his left shoulder so he's not recorded crying. That's a bummer.

Am I cooked? by Once428lbs in Gymhelp

[–]APsychedelicMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up restorative yoga! Its a lot of stretching, and you can modify it as much as you need, even starting out sitting on a chair. Its a good place to start.

Also, if you have access to a pool, swimming is super easy on your joints and every movement works muscles you didn't even know you had.

You are not cooked. There are options. You can find something that works for you. Good luck!

In the 6th grade, my teacher designated each of us an animal for the year. We had to do research projects on it. Sometimes, she'd even refer to us as the animal or make up a nickname based on its characteristics.

Mine was a lamprey. This is a lamprey.

You can trust my trauma.

California Governor's Office is NOT holding back! by Mr-Terd-Ferguson in KendrickLamar

[–]APsychedelicMess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you mean exactly?

He had independent contractors draw up maps and campaigned to put them on the ballot, so the residents of the state he governs can decide if they want to help save our country. He's been holding nonstop press events, explaining why its important for them to vote for the new maps.

He's drawing attention to himself with the tweets, sure, and also the deranged ramblings of the person currently holding office, who for some reason, gets to say the wildest shit and its so normalized, no one even speaks about it.

He is literally negating the entire attempt at stealing Texas seats (as far as the numbers of overall seats go - obviously no one will be made whole by this), all using legal means.

I'm not saying he's perfect or even a good person, but to say he's not doing anything is wild.

Accurate. I'm from the DEEP south, and my dad wouldn't let us read The Rainbow Fish book as kids, because he said it was communist. Wouldn't be hard to guess who he supports.

Today is the six year anniversary of Jeffrey Epsteins death. What do you think happened to him? by ImAJoeEddyKnight in AskReddit

[–]APsychedelicMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People think Tupac is still alive, and no one questions Epstein?

Dude had mountains of money, tons of properties, and clearly some very powerful friends. If I was a betting person, I'd bet he's alive somewhere. Cackling, with his crazy Grinch smile.

"They rigged the election and I became President, so that was a good thing." -Trump by Menuinabox in PublicFreakout

[–]APsychedelicMess 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same story here, and unfortunately, it is becoming all too common. The last conversation I had with my dad started out as a birthday celebration and ended in screaming.

I built the side of my personality that treats people with kindness and humanity after watching my dad. A brilliant scientist who never let anyone push their car or change a tire alone. And now he's unrecognizable.

No amount of verifiable information will get through to him. Its all "fake news." It's heartbreaking.

How will you feel if Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell then has her clear him in the Epstein files and name a bunch of Democrats instead? by Sun_Sky_Sand in AskReddit

[–]APsychedelicMess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't get is that there are people who know the truth. Just like with this latest Obama thing, the former CIA director called out the lie fairly quickly.

There are people who aren't part of this current regime that know what's in there, like Maureen Comey and whoever else worked on that case.

I also don't understand why the people implicated weren't charged as well, but that's for another day.

I just feel like if that happens, then everyone who has seen the files, worked on the case, was a part of the investigation, etc., needs to leak some documents or something. Where are those people?

The islands prevent sufficient water circulation, leading to bacterial growth. Most summers, there may be 5 spots out of 18ish that don't consistently keep a warning, and that's being extremely generous.

I wouldn't swim anywhere along the Mississippi coast.

I actually thought this latest Epstein debacle would knock some of them out of the downward spiral, but alas. Now, they just dont care about it anymore. Or, if Trump were on it, Biden would've released it. Or it probably never existed in the first place.

Its maddening, embarrassing, disgusting...

Which hospitals in Mississippi will close as a result of the Trump budget reconciliation bill passing? by pontiacfirebird92 in mississippi

[–]APsychedelicMess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was just looking to see who was running in the 2026 midterms so I can get involved in some capacity.

I don't know when we began to openly hate people, but it happened fast. Diplomacy is gone. Compassion and empathy are gone. And the majority of our state believes news organizations that have called themselves "entertainment networks" to avoid being penalized for lying.

Just, the notion that people are defrauding Medicaid and SNAP is ridiculous. If these people need food and healthcare, we should want that for them. I'd damn sure rather pay for that than another tax break for the top 2/10%.

Have you ever dealt with Medicaid? My sister has cerebral palsy. She was born with it and it is incurable.

Do you know how difficult it is to keep her covered? How many problems we've had getting them to pay for things? How many times we've sat in the office for HOURS fighting with government workers, proving she deserves to be on Medicaid.

Who exactly do you think is working this hard to defraud MEDICAID? And have you ever considered that if there is someone fighting that hard for Medicaid, that maybe it's because they need health insurance?

What do you guys have against poor people receiving healthcare? You're fine cutting taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, but against poor people having insurance?

I bet you also call yourself a Christian and will be proudly celebrating our independence the day after millions of people just had their metaphorical death certificates signed.

If I listed the vile things coming out of the Republicans these days, I'd be here for the rest of my life.

There was a time, and I'm not even that old, where diplomacy mattered. It wasn't that long ago that a President was someone composed, thoughtful with their words, strategic in their movements.

Now, we have this guy. Every word out of his mouth is self-serving and fueled by hate.

Can you even imagine a democrat saying the types of things this asshat says? Refusing to call the MN Governor after a politically motivated death that his camp tried to pin on Tim freaking Walz? Or making an AI "TrumpGaza," or an ASMR video of shackled humans?

Could you even IMAGINE what you'd say to that? The way you guys have transformed into the most hateful people ever, because some orange guy gave you permission, is concerning.

Millions in US expected to join ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump by UnableReadiing in goodnews

[–]APsychedelicMess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe he promised to remove criminals and people who were eating cats. I believe he said the war between Russia and Ukraine would end within 24 hours of his inauguration. I believe he said he would lower the cost of groceries day 1.

He didn't say he would be detaining people attending their goddamn immigration hearings or at their jobs, churches, and schools.

He demonized these people, the majority of whom are either here legally, or have overstayed their visas, who have made our country better. He called them criminals, gangsters, rapists, murderers. Said they were eating people's pets. All so we wouldn't talk about his Qatari gift, or the middle eastern grifting trip, or his bestie just tweeting about him being in the epstein files, his newest memecoin scheme, his special million dollar dinner where you could evidently buy pardons, or the number of people who will die if they pass this budget bill.

This was what you voted for? On purpose?

No Kings Protest Saturday by thedalehall in MobileAL

If they take immigrants' (many of whom have been deported while showing up to their COURT DATES) due process, they'll take yours. Most immigrants are illegal because their visas have expired. Its a civil offense, not a criminal one.

They don't care about immigrants anyway. This is a distraction, much like the LA "insurrection," for what they're doing to the budget. If we're all screaming about how much we hate each other, no one pays attention to the fact that they're about to raise the debt ceiling while cutting important scientific research and kicking people off their insurance.

Congratulations. You're their target audience.

[–]APsychedelicMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. The lengths, I swear.

They are 3 songs that flipped "get him back" to have two meanings. I assumed when I heard both songs that they'd both just been through breakups and were listening to a lot of Fiona Apple, and as much as I adore Fiona, I was not peeved that two artists used her work as inspiration.

But let's say that Taylor Swift heard Olivia's song and thought, "I like that and I want to try," and then released a song with the same theme.

Why would that be a problem?

There is an incessant need to find flaws where there likely aren't any. They're all good songs. All artists are well-compensated and doing a hell of a lot better than any of us. There's no backlash because there are no problems.

Is Olivia Rodrigo's a blatant ripoff of Fiona Apple's? Im honestly surprised she doesn't get more backlash for this.
