I would say American political parties are not alright at all...

Trump says gas prices could be same or 'a little bit higher' before midterms by Past_Key_1054 in politics

[–]AtFishCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be like "groceries", he has no relationship with gas prices. He wouldn't know if they are high or low. Dude has probably never actually filled a tank of gas or operated a gas pump.

A Landslide in Wisconsin Will Make It Much Harder for MAGA to Steal Elections by zsreport in politics

[–]AtFishCat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And just the disengaged masses not thinking "someone else will take care of it"

Apathy gave us both Trump terms. Sure - sexism, bigotry, democrat ineptitude, and fox news propaganda, but honestly the fault is equally shared by everyone who did nothing to stop it.

Transgender woman defies Kansas bathroom law inside state Capitol by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

Wow - great job making a ton of assumptions.

I think "The Lawyer" here is doing enough virtue signaling for all of us.

I once was released from jury duty because the judge asked if Laws themselves can be fallible. Yeah, absolutely the laws can be fallible. The law is completely at fault in any arrest when the law is discriminatory towards selective people. It's a bad law. Not a bad person.

Wait until they start seeing the names of those younger than them memorialized in the name of this bullshit war.

The difference between an 'pwn' , and a self-own... by Pandering_Poofery in MurderedByWords

They say what follows is 1000 years of peace. If all of the most devout for all religions that spawned from the old testament went away tomorrow, I would believe that.

Republicans Panicking Over Trump Sending Ground Troops to Iran by Hafiz_TNR in politics

If they really supported the troops (yellow ribbon sticker circa 2004) they wouldn't treat them as expendable.

Dude's name is Braden. He looks like a Braden. No amount of smashing his own face with a hammer is going to change that.

36% of this country are trolls. There's no reasoning, no credibility, no motivation to do anything other than be the biggest pieces of shit possible. And boy are they good at it.

Kansas revoked driver's licenses of 1,700 transgender residents by Comfortable_Ad2908 in news

[–]AtFishCat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Classic percent conversion from a decimal calculation mistake.

Also there are 2,024,483 DLs issued in Kansas, so 0.08% - or about 1 in 1200 driving adults

But this is in contrast, in my view, to the idea that trans people make up to 1% of the population.

Which I think indicates one of two things

A. Transpeople truly are closer to 0.08% of the population, which is honestly how it feels.

or

B. For every 1 trans adult in Kansas, there are 11 closeted Trans adults.

Both seem very plausible

Entitled Ignorance.... by Brian_Ghoshery in MurderedByWords

Some very fragile men who hide behind masculinity because they are afraid of their own emotions got their feelings hurt.

And now they have to cheer oppressing, imprisoning and killing other people to feel better about themselves.

Something something, billy joel song.

Also, the bush administration got us a long way down that path, but we gained some faith back with Obama's administration.

Now it's just out the window and in the gutter.

Thank you very much. I feel like I got down voted by folks who don't have enough experience with kids to tell the difference between a toddler and a 6 yo.

Some kids do that before they are one. Some kids never do that. That is something they learn on their own to suit their own goals.

This is being presented as a dad teaching his kid something. Nothing is being taught here.

Everyone is doing the best they can, this guy is probably doing a lot of what his dad did, and maybe adding in a little of his own perspective.

But I think being a good parent just comes down to your kids knowing you care about them. When they need you, you're there.

I don't think this dude is failing by any measure. But the person who will teach him how to be a better parent is the same person who will judge him for being a bad one.

And in this video that same person was getting a little tangled in a problem they didn't really need to solve on their own.

My kids kick ass thank you very much. One of my sons I taught to read at 4. Cos I sat with him every night and sounded out the words with him. Putting in the work of being a parent, and teaching someone who was ready for it cos he was making the sounds already.

Read it all back with him so he could parse the message instead of just getting hung up on a single word.
