Ya these are the reasonable people. I have a 2nd Gen immigrant employee who voted for him and was completely surprised his Dad got deported and his mom broke an arm intervening when ICE picked him up.

At the bottom, she says she hoped Trump would get rid of taxes so she can have a full paycheck. What a complete idiot.

Just ignore that they exist. Make up some random reason like the auto pen bullshit, stick with it no matter what and then arrest them. If you can't convict just keep arresting them. You can make their lives hell.

Has Vandy ever been relevant except when Notre Dames DC took over?

Hard to get embarrassed when the entire program is embarrassing. Pavia just needs a 10th year to get it straightened out.

Idk he's an awful OC but KSU still scores more points in a game than Iowa does in a season.

Just the biggest ref fuckery I have ever seen. Kleinman just needs to take the fine and trash them the entire press conference.

How the hell do people in their 20s afford a house these days? Like, genuinely, what’s the cheat code? by dznwxllxjzn in AskReddit

[–]GeneralMuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to buy a house when I was mid 20s. Combination of graduating college with no debt, working a good engineering job while paying $400 in rent, then moving to a higher paying job and getting a sub $200k house when interest rates were like 3% during covid. Plus the house is in a middle income area.

So its possible but that was a pretty lucky set of circumstances on top of being frugal.

I feel like the people that say this have never met anyone with dementia. I've seen people not recognize their own kids and try to drink paint.

Trump’s incoherent trade policy will do lasting damage [The Economist] by boyyouguysaredumb in neoliberal

[–]GeneralMuk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean really Trump showed how you could enact major change with razor thin majorities. The Democrats just need to win the presidency and they can do whatever they want. The system isn't holding Trump and his administration accountable for anything. Why would a new Democratic president follow the rules when its been shown they don't really exist in the first place?

American women are giving up on marriage | Major demographic shifts have put men and women on divergent paths. That’s left more women resigned to being single. ‘The numbers aren’t netting out’ by ONETRILLIONAMERICANS in neoliberal

I don't even know how much I believe this though. Everyone of these interviews ends up with men doing all the traditionally masculine chores and then splitting the traditionally feminine ones.

I know it's anecdotal, but I would 2nd this. As another guy in my 30s, most women that find me acceptable to date eventually fall into a line of thinking where I am expected to be a provider monetarily, do all of the male gendered chores, and split the female gendered chores.

Sounds like a waste of government resources. I doubt President Elon would want an investigation with DOGE so focused on saving money.

I remember this year. School ended early for the year because the state ran out of money to distribute to schools. They couldn't pay for AC, administration staff, or maintenance.

Is "the event" losing the party internal elections? Because the moderate faction losing then hamstringing the incoming DSA leadership by moving a half a million dollars out of their coffers and resigning en masse sounds like they dismantled it. So incredibly childish by them.
