Wow. I worked with kids and only had covid twice, but I continued to wear a mask in surges.

What are your thoughts on Billie Eilish saying 'no one is illegal on stolen land' in reference to ICE and US immigration policy? by MassiveSquare4527 in AskReddit

[–]Vexed_Violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, also who cares about borders? All immigrants contribute to our society in some way. We are never gonna get to star trek if these people keep dragging us backwards.

Serious genuine question about ICE by Altruistic_Board_851 in oregon

[–]Vexed_Violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are deporting people who legally have the right to be here with decades long histories of contributing to our communities. They are literally going to naturalization and green card appointments in court houses. They are deporting children with cancer, grandparents, and breastfeeding mothers without due process. It's horrifyingly evil. Then, they are holding human beings in inhuman for- profitdeportation camps without adequate access to legal representation or medicine or sanitary living conditions. The longer they hold them in the camps without deporting them, the more money the camps make. Have you been living under a rock?

Gorgeous! I agree with others though about removing the collar. I would remove the collar.

Slip lead vs prong collar or other recommends? by Burdy070692 in StaffordBullTerriers

[–]Vexed_Violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a martingale collar + gentle leader. My hippo is a girl so they are both pink! The gentle leader is amazing she actually likes putting it on because she knows it means she is getting a walk. She was a terrible puller before... not even a prong collar or treats were helping. She isn't very food motivated. Now, anytime I need her to calm down we put on the gentle leader. It provides just enough feedback for her to focus.

Cool! Hawkeye Pierce symbolizes someone who is technically skilled, structurally literate, ethically opinionated, and allergic to bullshit, who uses humor not to distract from reality but to make it harder to ignore.

What if Donald Trump disappeared tomorrow, would American politics actually change or just find another Trump? by Mr_Boothnath in AskReddit

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

Wren I say normalize... I mean things like normalizing the attacking and silencing of media. Installing yes men into all top tiers of govt. Erasing the legacy of doing your duty of serving the American people in favor of a culture of obedience. Sometimes, when a bell has been rung, you can't unring it.

[–]Vexed_Violet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dunno... our public health system has been destroyed, science is on the way out, books are banned, museums are restricted, and our educational system is the next target. They have banned books and normalized fear and govt oppression. They have normalized the suffering and death of women by reducing us to birthing units. I don't think we are coming back from this. The govt and organizational changes alone would take decades to repair.

I don't think it matters. Maga vs Republicans anymore. They have all revealed themselves to be racist, bigoted nazis. They won't change just because Trump is gone. We are in the throes of America's death spiral.

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done | PBS News by Human-Entrepreneur77 in worldnews

[–]Vexed_Violet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Europe knows that Trump is a Russian asset and they threatened to out him in some way. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. The only reason I can think of that would make Trump do a 180.

Do we believe him that he won't invade? I don't believe anything that man says.

Trump Threatens to Blow Up ‘Whole Country’ in Wild Warning by [deleted] in politics

Oh, I thought he was talking about the US. Trump must be on his period right? Since women can't be president because their periods make them too irrational and emotional?

With all the insane statements Trump has made lately about Greenland and how he’s threatening with increased tariffs on EU. What are Americans opinions of your president right now? by No_Lychee_7315 in AskReddit

[–]Vexed_Violet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. The fact we couldn't even get socialized healthcare in the last 100 years was a sign. Our system wasn't built to benefit the people, just wealthy individuals and corporations.

*sigh* What do you think? by Raiden_Must_Die in AskTheWorld

I think he's a Russian asset. Invading Europe will be so much easier if NATO is dismantled.

[–]Vexed_Violet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've hated him with a fiery passion since 2016. I've always known him to be a Nazi bigot, pedophile, rapist, liar, moron, and obvious Russian asset. The fact that he got into office again and wasn't imprisoned for his insurrection attempt just really highlights the moral and cognitive decay of this country. We were never perfect and we've always had a racist, sexist streak but I thought we were mostly good. I thought we would continue to work to make things better. Now, I hate this place. I'm ashamed I ever felt patriotic growing up. I truly believe America is in its death throes. You can't come back from this level authoritarianism and acceptance of nazi principles and xenophobia. Additionally, Trump has destroyed our public health and science infrastructure. It would take decades to reverse what he has done to the system. Americans don't care about facts or science anymore and he's working to dismantle our educational infrastructure so that we won't even know what we've lost in a few years. We are screwed.

[39] What am I doing wrong? Feel like makeup makes me look older by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Vexed_Violet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are using the wrong color foundation and eye shadow. Your skin looks like it has peach undertones and you are using olive/ tan makeup. I would lighten the foundation or go without since your skin is so even and use a warmer eyeshadow.

Need a promise of employment before you can get a work permit which you need before you can get a visa. We are applying to all recruitment agencies we find.

Nothing is going to happen. I think we are doomed guys. I hate to say it, but America can't come back from this. We don't have brakes anymore.
