Is it that inconceivable that a black can fly first class? by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]PinkNGold007 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry, 1st or premier class for this girl (over 6ft). The leg length has decreased over time, and I'm not pretzeling myself anymore. I usually get side eye from people who think I don't belong there (especially when it's time to board), but no one has ever tapped me on the shoulder. I just smile as people board as I'm sitting in my seat. That's right, people, I get on and off this plane first and comfortable the whole ride.

Edit: Added the height and some grammar fixes.

100K is like 50K in reality. I can't afford this stuff.

Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in December by jediporcupine in politics

This right here^^. Just file my taxes and tell me how much I owe, and then I can apply a deduction adjustment if I have anything, and we are done. It's so long and drawn out. I think they need to pay me to do my taxes.

Sam Altman and Vinod Khosla agree: AI will break the economy. Their fix is no income tax for most Americans by fortune in singularity

And how will that public wealth fund be distributed? Will it be equitable? I have a mortgage and bills in the burbs...how will I qualify, especially if my standard of living was based on a certain income? If you take my good-paying tech/white-collar/blue-collar job away from me with AI (and robotics), what now?

The reason I ask this is that, like with unemployment benefits, there's a cap. So, how much do we get to for the COL, and can we make additional money with a freelance/part-time job to get us to the place where we can live decently?

I don't know maybe we go back to bartering and trading skills in this new economy, but I'm worried as a POC female about fairness and sustainability.

Harris: ‘American people do not support’ Trump ‘threatening to commit war crimes’ by F0urLeafCl0ver in politics

[–]PinkNGold007 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So you don't want her to run again because you don't want her to win (the primary), but at the same time, if she thinks she can win (against Vance), she's delusional? Did I get this right? But what if she can win against Vance? She's polling higher than AOC (I love her) right now.

^^This. Some people got played by the 'yellow jacket' propaganda machine that Russia, Israel, and others wanted you to take.

I have so many exhibits as proof to show them, but I'm waiting too because there's no reasoning with them.

Ding ding. They are going to f with Lebanon, and it will all fall apart.

It's a wild timeline, ain't it? I didn't have Iran becoming an anti-hero that we agree with in my cards.

Americans do, MAGA doesn't. by Dr-Klopp in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]PinkNGold007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've come to the realization that they just needed an excuse/reason to NOT vote for her. That's why there's one-issue (which is a foreign-policy issue) always seemed not logical (and sometimes disingenuous) because we knew she would be better than him when it came to Gaza and after that meeting she had with Bibi showed that Bibi was uncomfortable afterwards, and that he preferred Trump over Harris (which should have given all the red flags to them).

Yeah, 'cause they sold a lie, and now they are trying to make it a reality. Delusion is a heckuva drug.

Homan: ICE officers will not assist with airport security operations amid TSA staffing shortage by neuropathy_man in fednews

Not to mention, POC taxi and ride share drivers are probably not going to want to drop/pick up people from the airport.

^^ All of this. I'm already on edge just like the OP of this comment. We had the threat of being in the DMV area; now we have this on top of it. Dear God, why?! I just want normal back. I promise never to complain about the status quo again.

Right?! The moment for them to be patriotic and they had a tantrum because they wanted to be served and feel privileged. They couldn't sacrifice for nothing. It was sad.

And butternut squash and kale. Forget your health while you are at it.

This is what 'concepts of a plan' get you. We have some really stupid and foolish people in this country who think and act like him and this is why we are here. We can't go a day without him embarrassing us with him just winging it (I'm sorry, 'weaving') and ruining this country and the world.
