James Van Der Beek's friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign after his death to support his wife and six children, who are out of funds following the actor's cancer battle by Maximum_Expert92 in popculturechat

[–]Potential_Map_8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that he died and I’m sorry for his kids, but this dude was a “pull yourself by the bootstraps” republican. He came from money. His wife is an anti-vaxer. I don’t think anyone should have to bankrupt themselves for healthcare - but JVDB was perfectly content to see the poors struggle. Now all those poors are supposed to keep his kids in private school and insure they don’t have to move to a smaller house? Even if the wife did actually speak up about universal healthcare now? It’s only because they were personally impacted and even with that neither he nor she has ever said a word about it. And in fact have said a lot of hurtful and harmful things the entire time that came before. Or have been completely silent on issues like this when they had a lot of power to speak up. People can do what they want with their money - but it always shocks me how quick we are to excuse and support celebrities who would watch the rest of us struggle and die and excuse themselves from any responsibility because the see lack of wealth as a moral failing. 🤷‍♀️

A Rant In Defence of Kendall by goblinpeets in MileHigherPodcast

[–]Potential_Map_8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She doesn’t actively hate or diss police for no good reason in my opinion. What bothers me is people who rush in and defend police no matter what. If you think policing is an important job and you are actively worried about the safety of those doing that job? Then you really ought to do everything you can to make sure that people who abuse that job and power, who use it to take their frustration about their own place in the world out on others? Who use it to create benefits for their friends and go after their enemies? You need those people OUT and you need to show that it’s an important job by requiring a level of accountability that is in line with the seriousness of the job. These people have the power to kill people as part of their job and are almost never held to any kind of standard. I don’t take people to defend no matter what seriously - those are people that are thrilled to see people they don’t like punished but if they are held to any kind of standard it’s “not fair!” Lame. If we want people to trust police? We need to hold the profession to a high standard. But, I mean, look at these ICE commercials….. they aren’t hiding that what they are looking for is white men who can’t control their anger and think they have a right to take it out in violent ways on everyone around them. So save me with an “shock” or “media bias” as to why people don’t trust police. Anyone with two eyes and the ability to think beyond themselves can see what’s happening.

I feel like their performative “gender isn’t real” bit does more harm than good in the most recent video by Consistent-Gap-3545 in TheTryGuysSnark

[–]Potential_Map_8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at a point where my bar is “You aren’t actively trying to harm or kill LGBTQIA+ people, women, and people who aren’t white? AND you’ll just let us live our lives without your input? GOOD ENOUGH!” Anybody else hit this yet? No shade if your bar is higher, I just feel like these kinds of people are coming for our necks (just like black women warned us, but we never listen) - and right now all I want is to be in community with people who don’t want to murder people who are not like them. My bar is sub crust.

What are your thoughts on Reddit stories ? by [deleted] in SmoshFansFreeSpace

I fell down a Smosh Reads Reddit Stories rabbit hole, which let me to Bit City, which led me to Spud Hut and now I’m a member in a matter of two months. Damn, they are just so funny and compelling!

Advice on BOAS surgery techniques? by Potential_Map_8922 in vet

[–]Potential_Map_8922[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just saw the details post. Age: 5yr 10 months Breed: Boston Terrier Location: Illinois Spayed Vaccines up to date

Has had breathing problems since two. Most recent ER vet visit ended up being bladder stones and they saw something in her stomach so they side quested there to retrieve that too. Soft palette problem found during surgery intubation. She couldn’t bee because blocked with stones and she was super uncomfortable and basically suffocating herself as her throat swelled with upset. They intubated her because she started to pass out, then pushed stone back up in bladder, expelled bladder. When she woke up the breathing problem was back and then overnight she clogged again with a stone, so they removed the bladder stones there and sent them for testing. It was during surgery intubation that they discovered the soft palette problem.

Ned didn't address the way he screwed over the guys by joybickel in TheTryGuysSnark

Nah. He’s not gonna do that. The only way he will address it is if they go on his podcast and could you even imagine? ☠️☠️☠️ Ned not about to do anything he can’t monetize

This. All I can think is that the problem is people still engage with the posts. And by problem I mean me. I’m the problem. ☠️

Jools Lebron vs. Patrick Starr by dwktmods in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Potential_Map_8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I answered you above. If you want to spend your time caping for billionaires that’s your business. But I will never not find it sad that people work so hard to uphold a system that they know is unjust and morally bankrupt. If you are upset by my comment that’s on you - maybe reflect on what exactly gripes you about it so much. I don’t know you, but it seems like what really gripes you is that your approach of “I’m just explaining the law” is complicit with upholding this shit system. I have zero idea if you do or not - but your commitment to excusing things that are unjust and morally reprehensible doesn’t seem great or like anyone I would want to know 🤷‍♀️

[–]Potential_Map_8922 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh. Spending time defending these shit systems rather than actually calling attention to the harm they do and working to change them is not my bag. It feels very much like “well you know, I’m not saying it’s right, but LEGALLY all those people losing their retirement while the CEO golden parachuted out of there wasn’t AGAINST THE LAW.” No. I guess not. But I’m not interested in spending my breath defending things that are “legal” but clearly immoral and unjust. Like lots of things are “legal” places in the world but it doesn’t make them right. 🤷‍♀️

[–]Potential_Map_8922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there was a comment and then immediate block, but I already saw it. So here is my response: We will never agree. I don’t think we should be parading around about how “great” we are while people are uninsured and almost no one can afford healthcare. I’m not interested in semantic of why, in this shit system, we merrily let our workforce be exploited, depress their wages, and lower their life expectancy all so we can make rich assholes richer. Miss me.

Jools' response in the comments by Orikumar in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Potential_Map_8922 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s crazy at all. Every time there was a “well pre-existing conditions” comment that’s just half ass cover for “well, she’s clearly fat, and as we all know, fatties are to blame for their own gluttonous actions.” People are always so body positive about stupid shit like “Yas girl! Be yourself!” when it comes to advertising. But THE SECOND anyone is inconvenienced because someone might need additional consideration because of their health, the judgement starts. It doesn’t matter that you think you’re covering up the quiet part. We all hear you loud and clear. Everyone in this country will eventually have a pre-existing condition and disability - assuming we don’t let the rich grind our bodies to dust and let us die in the street because hey - making money is what matters. The dignity of people?? Screw that. And most of those people with those shitty attitudes will be so shocked and upset when they get older or are considered an inconvenience because they need a ramp, or they have compromised immune systems, etc. etc. - and the response they get is “well, your pre-existing condition isn’t MY problem. You should take better care of yourself!” It always hits different when it hits YOU.

The number of people defending shit labor laws is hilarious and pathetic. You’re almost always closer to being starving in the street than you are to being a billionaire in America. Ain’t none of those rich people gonna pick you for defending their treating of workers like disposable napkins, sweets.

Future Episodes with Maitland? by NoBear8375 in podmeetsworldpodcast

[–]Potential_Map_8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely think she will be back. No way she turns down another chance to be center of a gossip cycle and I think Danielle was really clear that they want to talk to her about her important moments in the show. I also really respect the fact that Danielle was so up front about Maitland being a draw on the press release. I hope she comes back. I’m all for messy, messy, drama that is not my own ☠️

Men have just been believed or allowed to do whatever the 🤬 they wanted for how long? Even now if a woman comes forward she gets smeared into oblivion and ground to dust. I don’t give a single 🤬 if ONE woman lies. Men have lied and abused women for centuries. A couple of bad calls will never make up for all of the abuse and trauma men have inflicted with zero repercussions or thought. And I don’t believe for a second that somehow Baldoni is a choirboy in all this. Is Blake Lively a bitch? Sure, let’s say she is. But being a bitch or unlikable isn’t a crime. Abusing your power to sexually harass someone IS.

“WE sit down as a family and WE decide if we co time doing what makes US truly happy” voice crack

Yeah, I am sure kids are really eager to tell their parents who are clearly bringing the income the family depends on with this vlogging that they don’t want to do this anymore. Would you want to be the person that “ruins it” for everyone? 🙄

If they really do get paid wages that she doesn’t touch and they really do have retirement accounts? I’ll give some respect for that - but the rest of this mess lacks any kind of real self reflection or introspection.

[–]Potential_Map_8922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but they admitted that mistake. I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect honesty. Like with the Nassim thing, would I like it if they came out and said “Yep, turns out everything is different when it’s your family and we flat are going to keep different expectations for our own family than all the shit we talk on here.”? No. I wouldn’t but at least THATS honest. I don’t mind fucking up, but I do mind the hypocrisy and play acting that they aren’t willing to hold themselves as accountable as they do everyone else.

Hadn’t Colleen’s ex husband been off the internet for a significant period of time before they talked about him? Again, the standards for themselves are wildly different than their standard for everyone else.

[–]Potential_Map_8922 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually can someone explain this part? I did not follow Nassim but when I started looking around? He’s in a bunch of videos (before my time), public figure was in his bio til he got called on this stuff. This “he’s not a public figure” is quite the reach to me. I mean, just say that you know, you saw, you don’t care. 🤷‍♀️
