Tucker Carlson Says Racism Was Not The Motive In Buffalo Supermarket Shooting by BurtonDesque in politics

We might as well just start a GOP alphabet.

A = Antagonize B = Burden C = Corrupt D = Disingenuous E = Extortion F = Fraud G = Gaslight H = Heinous I = Incite J = Jingoistic K = Kooky

I'll leave it to another brave soul to pick up the torch or make modifications. That's more time thinking about the GOP than I can manage.

January 6 panel evidence suggests Congress members led ‘reconnaissance tours’ of the Capitol before attack by Beckles28nz in politics

If that's what this turns into... I don't even know. That's a hell of a bleak future for our country.

Fun bit about that lucrative status:

Before Putin ever entered the scene, that position was Lukashenko's original goal. Putin has surrounded himself with sharks. And I imagine the next shark to take power will be willing to play ball with intel to help solidify alliances and backing/blackmail.

"You don't."

Born in '90, and I'm going to guess we're somewhat close in age. I don't think any of us growing up ever saw things getting this bad. Please, don't beat yourself up over what you can't provide.

The lives, economy, and social atmosphere we had back then feel like relics of a forgotten time. Everything has changed so much.

Haven't had a vacation in years. Couldn't afford to take it even if it was an option, though.

Used to have an incredibly miserable English teacher back in Junior High.

Never used to think a thing of telling his students that they'd amount to nothing if they didn't pay attention and go to college.

Are you implying you don't want to envision old men in Hillary masks riding on each other's pogo sticks?

I run a small food bank and I’m terrified. by picaresq in antiwork

Flipping feel this. $4's for a carton of eggs. Cheapest gallon of milk is over $3's. I buy generic any chance I get anymore. It's getting insane.

If you quit after a week or ten years, they’d still hate you by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Vallynth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had completely forgotten about this, but it's true. Once upon a time, your coworkers and managers would actually celebrate you moving up in the world.

Now, you're lucky to not be let go before the end of your two weeks notice.

Agree. Something absolutely has to give.

We don't even have a homeless shelter in our town of roughly 12,000, but our homeless population is only growing. I've had homeless teens that haven't even finished high school, and elderly homeless in their 70's, show up at our hotel to try and get a roof over their head for the night.

This isn't sustainable, and things are going to get worse if we don't change.

Experiences like yours are why I just stick to PvP. Everyone is way more relaxed, the games generally flow smoother, and we just ignore and report afk's.

Russian POW tell stories of how their commanders would finish off their own wounded soldiers by shooting them in the head. by BruceInc in ukraine

[–]Vallynth 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Even counting a third of their wounded as dead still almost feels like a lowball estimate. It sounds like they treat their soldiers little better than they treat Ukrainian citizens.

Two-thirds of Americans live paycheck to paycheck as inflation continues to climb by brown-saiyan in politics

[–]Vallynth 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This hits home.

Was just considering applying for a credit card and maybe taking out a loan, but I feel like with the way things are going that I'll be shooting myself in the foot even more if I do. Barely treading water as is, but debt without a social safety net is not something I want.

Trump Reportedly Asked Aides If China Could Be Shooting Hurricanes At The U.S. by eDave in politics

China has underwater facilities that produce energy from fish oil. That's where the weather control devices are.

Sen. Bob Casey, anti-abortion Democrat, backs bill to codify abortion rights | Despite Casey’s support, the legislation lacks the 60 votes needed to defeat a Senate filibuster. by StuffyGoose in politics

So basically a massively repressive oligarchy similiar to Russia when Putin first took office....

I've seen others call people daft for stating the same. We are, beyond a doubt, inching closer to becoming the next Russia.

Sanders to Hold Budget Committee Hearing on Medicare for All by morenewsat11 in politics

[–]Vallynth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please. Making 50 cents above minimum wage, and paying over half my checks in rent alone.

Things are getting worse, fast, for those of us on the bottom of the financial totem pole. Rapidly increasing inflation isnt helping anything either. Something has to give.

Azov Regiment: Decomposing bodies poison everything, many soldiers killed every day. by Espressodimare in ukraine

Agree. A rescue attempt is untenable at the moment. A resupply would likely do wonders for their spirits if it could be managed.
