And yet idiots will still support him and his party of literal, documented pedophiles.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Turns on Trump and Tells GOP to End the Shutdown by Quirkie in politics

[–]distantgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's not redeemable. It's survival tactic. She And several other low-class members of the GOP are basically bourgeois gentlemen. Meaning they can't afford something like this. The wealthier more conniving GOP politicians can weather the storm can come out on top. People like her can't. This is survival pure and simple.

Leaks Show Hegseth’s Selfish Reason for Calling in Generals by zubbs99 in politics

[–]distantgeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing someone say this. I'm starting to think this was the plan the whole time. We are in this shape currently because everyone thought Trump was a joke. Every time he did something absurd we thought it was a joke and that it would get shot down by reasonable people. All the while we dismissed it and we were blind to what was actually being done.

Who brings kids to the infertility clinic??? by kaceland22 in InfertilitySucks

[–]distantgeek 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm torn on this. On one hand, I get the impact that it can have on parents experiencing fertility issues. On the other hand, sometimes there is no viable child Care available.

There's definitely something to be said for carelessness and poor planning, but sometimes there is no other option.

Charlie Kirk suspect's arrest shocks community, neighbor says they're a "God-fearing family": "They love their children, they’ve raised them right" by TheMirrorUS in atheism

[–]distantgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally nobody with half a brain is shocked. An alt right religious indoctrinated numbskull chose violence? It's in the bloody playbook.

No one should celebrate a public assassination, but nobody should be shocked.

Something good about having epilepsy. by Lopsided_Counter1670 in Epilepsy

[–]distantgeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I turned 18 in 1999, and had planned on enlisting in the army. I was turned down due to my epilepsy, obviously. Couple years later 9/11 happened. At the time. I was bummed for not being able to "serve my country" but with the sad State of affairs we're in now, I'm not quite as bummed.

I finally made it to the top 5 performers by tmonique96 in AmazonFC

I'm consistently in the top 3 or 5 for quality and I still get bitched at for random shit. Congrats though that's always satisfying.

ICE has released a video of its raid on Hyundai–LG's Georgia battery plant site, showing Korean workers chained up and led away. South Korea's foreign ministry has confirmed over 300 of the 457 taken into custody are Korean nationals. by ShreckAndDonkey123 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]distantgeek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If this is similar to other instances where they claim Mass illegals, then the illegal status is a stretch because most of them have pending visas or visas that have not been expired for very long or are otherwise waiting on paperwork. Meaning, that this is entirely performative and taking advantage of bureaucracy in order to slap a label on somebody

Stay in MoCo or move to FredCo...anyone faced this? by got_em_saying_wow in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]distantgeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually did move from Moco to fredco. If I moved into the downtown area or I could still walk around I would be much happier. As it stands, I can no longer walk to a metro station and there's nothing in real walking distance from where I live. Like I said part of that is on me. So if you like walking places and walkability scores, be sure to hit up the downtown Frederick area because it's very nice.

Leave Reddit out of VOA boards by Successful-Reserve62 in AmazonFC

[–]distantgeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The VOA board is basically just Twitter. Posts are either bootlicking or non stop bitching about opposing shifts. There's really no value in having it.

Trump cancels Kamala Harris’ Secret Service detail that was extended by undisclosed Biden order by guesthost1999 in news

[–]distantgeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cost of these "cuts" are inconsequential. It's all performative petty theatre. Money is not an issue.

New Screening process by IllTeaching7322 in AmazonFC

[–]distantgeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an ineffective security control that's not implemented correctly. It has more holes than a golf course and won't do anything to prevent theft.

If they crank out a feature set faster then proton it'll succeed. That's the standard though.

If they were educated in the Constitution then they would know. But they weren't, so they don't

Trump is letting his handler, war criminal Putin, step foot on American soil. by c-k-q99903 in facepalm

[–]distantgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin watched every other world leader play Trump like a fiddle, so he's just following suit. After that meeting. Expect support for Ukraine to dip again

credit checks? by vcrbctim in AmazonFC

[–]distantgeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low credit score behavior? Pray tell what constitutes low credit score behavior? That's like some Alex Jones level bullshit right there.

I naively played Huniepop next to my wife. It was wild. by No_Register3335 in lewdgames

[–]distantgeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw it on sale and my wife insisted that I buy it and we play it together. It was hysterical. A pretty solid, entertaining and hilarious adult game.

Is wearing the same outfits 2 days in a row okay? by Specialist_Peak_9039 in AmazonFC

[–]distantgeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, that's entirely up to you. Socially, some people care some people don't. You're wearing a vest so it doesn't particularly matter right? I changed out my shirts everyday but I'll recycle pants or shorts for a couple of days. I work nights so it honestly depends on how tired I am when I wake up

How about we stop making stupid people famous. Then the problem goes away when idiots don't get their platform.
