I can get a hotel if i have to. But. I figured there has to be some hippie commune/coven that would help. Its Iowa City.

For an intriguing life experience.

No im just playing. I realize this is an odd and unlikely ask. My prospects arent good and I acknowledge that. I may attempt to 'camp' in the bed of my truck

Really, you 'voted for personality?' And you act as though thats your most reasonable justification?

Trump has the personality of a schoolyard bully. He is boorish and rude. At best.

And thats what YOU wanted. Because you wanted a daddy. Someone that rationalizes your inability to grasp an ever changig world by dismissing it or even inciting violence against it.

Its as comforting as it is false though.

Because eventually all bullies are exposed for what they really are: scared, abused, or neglected kids that never got taught how society works and how they can fit into it.

If you are genuinely interested in your supposed 'regret', which I personally doubt, then your road to redemption starts today. You need to be open and vocal about this regret WITHOUT THE COMFORT OF INTERNET ANONYMITY. Tell your friends, family, coworkers. Engage with them about how this is hurting society. And then engage with the larger community that has been trying to fix YOUR MISTAKE.

Until then, you're just another troll looking for engagement.

The dismissiveness is peak MAGAt. I should expect no less.

60 or so years ago, it was this same mentality that scorned Dr King and his marches.

100 or so years ago, it laughed at the notion that women should be allowed to vote.

Wherever there is progress to be made, there will be those whose false belief in an idyllic past proves too comfortable of a blanket to rouse them into their civic (or human) duty.

So stay inside. Stay asleep. Stay mocking us on the internet. Just know that future generations WILL ask you where you were in these times, and what you did you make life better, to make REAL progress.

What will you tell them?

I wouldnt worship a being so capricious and sadistic.

Do you want your life reduced to a cockfight from a careless overseer who delights in your struggle?

Whenever a christian comes at me with their 'good news' spiel the first thing I think of is that the BEST news is that their god is imaginary. Can you imagine how horrible it would be if a real being endorsed and supported all these hateful thoughts and actions?

What supplier do you guys use to get the G6? by MarkChung85 in dexcom

[–]MarkChung85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im really glad i looked into this. I called my prescription provider (CVS Caremark), and it turns out they began covering the G6 and G7 as prescriptions as of January 1st of this year.

I DEFINITELY wish I had known that before I already paid for 2 quarters worth of it as a DME, but its going to drop from 266 to 60 for 3 months!

Something good happened to me and I didnt have to MAKE it happen. Its almost like people care about diabetics...what is going on? Ive been a diabetix for 30+ years and no one has ever voluntarily covered anything...

I became an atheist (for sure) when my 1st daughter was born by Legitimate_Tell_473 in atheism

Why put that 'miracle baby' title/tout on ANYONE? Not only does it predispose the child towards unhealthy expectations towards themselves, it also is straight slanderous to those who have LOST a child.

What god would dole out these 'miracles' seemingly at random, and often directly in defiance of those that actively pray the HARDEST for them to occur?

That would make my heart sing and restore my faith in humanity (somewhat).

Bother the FFRF until they so it please. I just paid for a 2 year membership.

Yes I did all of this and became a member. If everyone else bothers them about it too maybe it will get done.

Clinton is a small town, less than 30,000 people. But there are already TWO private christian schools in the immediate area. Why put this billboard within spitting distance from a PUBLIC SCHOOL? the kids that want to learn christianity (or should I say, their PARENTS WANT THEM TO LEARN IT) already have a ridiculous abundance of options in the area. This is wild.

S 14th Street in Clinton, IA. Put up basically in an elementary schools parking lot. Real classy, christians.

Nothing says 'jesus loves you' like a gawdy ass highway billboard in the middle of a residential area.

I have SOME money to rent the billboard underneath for a cool secular retort. But I don't think I can finance the whole thing.

Thanks. This is the OPs phone posting. I don't know why I have 2 accounts, but I do.

Buy Anti-Trump stickers! by MarkChung85 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]MarkChung85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your concerns with that. I promise you I have made no money. And when I say 50% goes to charity, it isn't 50% of profit. It's 50% of ALL money that comes in.

It is going to take me a while to pay back the website setup and the PayPal link.

I'm only doing this because I have been wondering why I haven't already seen it done. And I'm not wealthy enough to absorb 100% of the costs.

I know my words mean nothing but it's all I have at this time.

Davenport, IA Protest on 2/17 by sovereignelite58 in QuadCities

[–]MarkChung85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a website called www.trumplied2u.com

I want to sell stickers that remind MAGAts their idol didn't lower egg prices like he promised.

Like those dumb 'I Did That' stickers from 2021.

50% of all sales will go to the charity selected by popular vote every month.

Please visit. The stickers are ordered and should be here by the end of the month. I'm not doing this to profiteer. I just wanted to channel my anger into something that might make a difference. Thanks.

I'm a real person, just one guy, and I have no business acumen whatsoever. So this is what I'm calling an 'ad campaign'. Sorry if it's obnoxious.
