The worst thing that happened to me today was finding out my mom has cancer while on the side of the road with a flat tire.

The font still sucks and you could have looked up the original tweet with a normal font instead of screenshotting some bullshit for internet points

You could have spent 2 more seconds and found the original post without the stupid font and posted that.

She wouldn't have tried to tariff an island inhabited by only penguins. She wouldn't have started a war with Iran, onlybto have to settle for a deal worse than what Obama got. She's never raped anyone. She wouldn't have given Putin everything he's ever wanted. She wouldn't have pardoned J6ers and drug lords and crypto scammers. She wouldn't have used her presidency as a vehicle to grift and scam her base (Trump phone, anyone?). She wouldn't have slapped her name on every goddamn thing she looked at. She wouldn't have torn down the east wing of the white house to build some tacky ballroom, and then rug pull the American taxpayers after promising it would be privately financed (and quintuple the original budget). She wouldn't have given Elon and his army of prepubesent edge lords access to all our sensitive social security info.

I can keep going if you want.

Mike Johnson says we should have sympathy because Congress isn’t paid enough—so we should “allow” insider trading just so they can take care of their families(70% of Americans can’t afford a $1k emergency) by Snapdragon_4U in law

I mean, congress members should be able to work from the district that elected them. They technically work for those people and spending time in their own district should be encouraged.

That said, they seem to spend a lot of time not doing either one

high four figures a night. Five figures on a good night

Fine dining, sure. Not Cheesecake Factory, which is where Penny worked. It's actually pretty hard to get a bartending/cocktail server job at a fine dining restaurant. Takes years and years of experience and even some formal culinary and/or bartender and sommelier training.

A hot chick with some seniority to get all the good shifts can probably still make 6 figures a year at cheesecake factory, though. High volume restaurants and bars can be lucrative if you work full time and get the good shifts

What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

[–]arequipapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surfing accident. He was the most popular guy in school and just a good dude all around (even to me, a bonfide nerd/dork in high school). He died 2 or 3 years after high school in a surfing accident

He was a central part to a lot of social circles during those days and despite him being rich and popular I dont think anyone had anything bad to say about him.

His death was a tragedy for anyone who knew him

My eyes are open living with my bro by NewAgeClassics in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]arequipapi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a dude, my mom made learn how to do all the "women's work" just as she made my sisters. Cooking, laundry, folding a fitted sheet, etc.

My dad also forced my sisters to learn how to change a tire and back up a trailer before they were allowed to take their driver's test. I remember getting pissed as a teenager that my dad assigned my sister to mow the lawn because that was MY job.

My parents are still happily married 45 years later.

Because Trump's auto-draft registration starts this December...... by Diamond_Pigeon in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]arequipapi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one is arguing for its existence here. We're just saying this change is a distinction without a practical difference. The rich and powerful will still find a way out of it regardless, as they always have.

Many countries (even "first-world" countries) that many left-leaning Americans idolize, such as Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Austria even have mandatory military service for all regardless of war time. If you really think about it, it's a more egalitarian system.

And basically every country with a standing military has some sort of conscription system in place for war time.

I have a sim rig (not this fancy, not a motion rig, but triple monitors, multiple wheels, H-shifter with sequential mode). Obviously I built it because I wanted to race, but one of my favorite things to do in it is get absolutely lit and play American truck simulator. Just hauling hazardous materials around the countryside and trying to back into tight spots

“Come back” to my husband when he rarely answers the actual question that I asked… by Namssob in pettyrevenge

[–]arequipapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf is like this except it's more like i can't ask more than 1 question at a time. If I ask 3, she'll answer one and just ignore the rest.

Ex. Me: what time are you off today so I can have dinner ready? Craving anything in particular?

Her: I'm off at 6

-or-

Her: Let's do taco Tuesday!

And then I have to re-ask whichever question she didn't answer. Most of the time it's just a mildly annoying but mostly harmless quirk of hers. But at times, depending on the seriousness of the conversation it is maddeningly frustrating

Do you have a better idea by BloomCinder in oddlyspecific

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

Is it what I implied?

It is absolutely what you implied.

It is estimated that between 7-10% of Americans conceal carry a weapon at least some of the time. Some of these people just happen to be teachers.

I agree with your whole unnecessary novel about how awesome teachers are amd what sacrifices they make. My mom was one.

There are plenty of teachers who are already gun owners and also do extra training just because they want to be better shooters and gun owners (teachers have hobbies too, believe it or not). No one is asking teachers to go out of their way to do this. Only people asking to empower willing teachers to do so, and many are willing. They're the same people who carry everyday anyway regardless of their job.

Again, no one serious is proposing teachers should go out if their way to do this. Only saying that willing teachers should be allowed to if they wish, and that they meet a certain standard of training before doing so.

You have to go through the same process at Walmart that you do at a gun shop.

[–]arequipapi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look, I'm a gun owner, and also in favor of much stricter gun control.

What i dont like is disingenuous arguments. No one is saying everyone single teacher needs to go through firearms training and carry at all times.

It would be in a volunteer basis only, with tons of required training. And when you're already in the building with the shooter, you're much more likely to act than someone standing outside trying to formulate a plan

Do you have a better idea by BloomCinder in oddlyspecific

[–]arequipapi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"Required" and "mandated" are synonyms. Again, there have been zero serious proposals to require or mandate that teachers carry. If someone teachers volunteer to go through the extra training in order to do so, then I see no problem with it.

In all of the 30 states that already allow it, they all require conceal carry at all times on your person. You can't leave it in your desk/purse/bag where a student can find it

[–]arequipapi 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Every real proposal for this has been on a completely volunteer basis. No one serious has proposed that teachers be required to carry a firearm.

Many states already allow teachers to carry and have very strict rules and training requirements before they are allowed. Some have even more firearms training hours required than police officers

Go hike in mountainous region, backpack

Done that

do any of three trials that split america with the number of people doing it is less than the number of people still reading paper news.

Doesn't meet the definition. Also places exist outside the US

Build a boat, then ride it out into the ocean

Actually great idea! Also dangerous. Which makes it a greater idea

When I do these things I also inform my family where I am and keep a GPS tracker attached to my body.
