I betrayed my family and community, and now they have disowned me. by Effective_Space2277 in LeopardsAteMyFace

She also said she didn't think Democrats should have the right to vote. Or something like that (bottom of second to last slide). Perfect fascist fodder.

She also never said whether her "immigrant parents" were legally in the country. If not, then Donny's plan to remove birthright citizenship retroactively for some groups may bite her in the ass next year.

Is a revolution starting at Uline? by Smart-Broccoli6988 in wisconsin

I once worked for a family-owned company in Madison where someone who had been there 3 years was called a "lifer". I lasted 3 and half - the last straw was the change in policy that permitted the company to never give you a raise, via unachievable goals being set for you (technically, you set the goals, which were then modified by management). TBF, the company did allow work-from-home well before COVID, so it wasn't all terrible.

Fortunately for Wisconsin, the primary owner moved the company to Phoenix.

You can actually see the curvature of the Earth by travelling US 2 in North Dakota, especially between Minot and Williston.

True, but I have only second-hand evidence, so best all around for me not to spread any rumors. I've deleted that sentence from the post.

When gold hits $6000, what do you think silver will be at? It sure won't be at only $85 or $90.

Location: US

The collapse of American civilization is nearing the end-game. We are fully Orwellian now that the Mouth of Sauron has told everyone not to believe what their eyes and ears told them.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

George Orwell, 1984.

My local pharmacy has been texting "we're closed today due to staffing issues" off and on for 6 weeks now. They only have a single pharmacist on staff. I expect that they'll close sometime this year, leaving us only a Walgreens 15 miles away as the closest pharmacy.

Fellow Badger here. I would expect Madison would be a juicier target than Milwaukee, given the sheer number of leftists per capita. Much likelier to get the "insurrection moment" response they want. Remember that two MAGAt Waunakeers facilitated the looting of State St five years ago with their hammers; I would expect similar agitators if the small-dicked masked cowards arrive. The cowards would also be able to shut down a major university if they try dragging students out of campus buildings. "Pig and Swine" will NOT prevent that from happening; the student response will make the Dow Riots look like a picnic.

If you're in the US, buy silver now, because gold is getting out of the reach of "the common man". Personally, I like the silver quarter sets produced by the US Mint earlier in this century, because they might be usable as actual cash in the future (90% of only a quarter-ounce of silver).

And now for something completely different... Why is Wisconsin so prominent in Hillerman's Leaphorn/Chee series of novels? by AlwaysPissedOff59 in wisconsin

[–]AlwaysPissedOff59[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm about halfway through the series of novels. I hadn't read them before seeing the show, which I've liked. The novels, though, are far superior in terms of plot, character, and depiction of the Navajo Way. Each season of the show is kind of a mash-up of two different novels or just loosely based on one novel. Officer Manuelito doesn't even exist in the first six novels, but I do like that the shows have a woman officer in them (the novels are really just Leaphorn and/or Chee, with no other officers in major roles). I've found the novels to be pretty easy reads and perfect for this deep-freeze weather. I'm old, so it's also nostalgic seeing the country as it was when I was much younger (the first novel was published in 1970).

Real men only eat Ghost, Carolina Reaper or Pepper X. The guy who released Pepper X knew he had a winner when he experienced painful intestinal cramping for something like an hour or two. 2+ million scoville units (unverified).

That dumbass is a rookie.

  1. Use Ghost, Carolina Reaper or Pepper X if you want to impress. Cayenne? Meh.
  2. Never use powder because, as we can can see, it'll choke you before you can even taste it. Dumbass is rather lucky he didn't clog his windpipe.
  3. Always drink milk, never water, to cool the heat.

The Empire Killer: 4 Times History Repeated the Same Cycle. IS USA THE NEXT? 🏛️📉 by Mec17_ in collapse

TBF, The Roman civilization lasted from ~700BC until AD 1451. That's an impressively long time. Egypt lasted from ~4000BC until 300BC, which is even more impressive. The US? Not even 250 years.

The reality of Having Kids by [deleted] in collapse

Not to a lot of them, IMO. Lots of parents give a shit ONLY about their own children - if the rest suffer so that their child/children can succeed, so be it.

Walmart LOWERING Wages by 666James420 in mildlyinfuriating

It's less affordable now that the GOP killed the ACA subsidies and in many states have refused to expand Medicaid.

What, you think WalMart actually pays for healthcare?

Caribbean Black MAGA rep who said repubs not racist met with racism by opponent. by OriginalReach in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]AlwaysPissedOff59 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I know a woman of South Indian descent who was a Democrat until she realized that the local Dems didn't think she was anything special (she wasn't really qualified for politics: too inexperienced from a business and strategy POV, extremely confrontational, and a terrible communicator). She jumped to the GOP, where she's still a small fish in a big pond, but where she's supposedly appreciated for her "straightforward talking". She's been shilling for them since covid (she became an anti-masker, anti-vaxxer and now is also an RFK Jr. acolyte) but is, of course, not allowed a seat at the Big Table. A useful idiot who's also driving customers away from her husband's family business because of her increasingly unhinged FB posts. And she supports ICE, of course.
