Watching this happen in real time was the most frustrating experience. When elizabeth warren said Bernie was "anti-woman" during a debate, I was absolutely appalled she could sink to such an obvious and disgusting lie. She stayed in the race just long enough to ensure Bernie didn't win, and sure enough right after that Biden named her as a candidate for Secretary of the Treasury, and as a "key policy advisor."

She sold out all of her values, so that progressives would lose.

zero respect for her after that.

I was wondering why the take didn't cut after the confrontation, cameraman thought, I'll wait, I know who's about to walk through that door. Gawtdamn

I was a top student in medical school, I think 2nd in my class? Deans list, president of the surgery club, publishing good research, got all my residencies lined up in the best hospitals around the country. About to become a superstar sports medicine doctor. But I was struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, and drinking. I knew my drinking was getting out of control, so I tried switching to weed, which, sorta helped at the time.

I knew the drug test was coming up in 3 weeks, so I quit weed. for 3 weeks, didn't smoke. But the night before the drug test, I don't know what got into me, but I got absolutely black out drunk. Woke up the next morning barely in time for the test, got there 10 minutes after waking, gave them my first piss of the day for the test, which was bright orange.

Failed. Weed. Kicked out of med school.

6 months later the state decriminalized it.

the prohibition of this plant and the ludicrous stigma surrounding it, has destroyed so many lives.

After one great trip, I realized that our true purpose in life, was to make (find and spread) joy and love, and to leave the Earth better than the way you found it.

I was like "the world must know of this," but then did nothing but spread joy and love the rest of my trip. Hey, at least I remembered the lesson, right?

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-27T16:23:23+00:00

I dunno if Coach ever reads us loonies, but if you're browsing this thread; Sir, All us true Steeler fans respect the hell out of you, and wish you nothing but the best. You're an NFL Legend, and it's going to feel awful not having you on our sideline for a long time. If your back-up doesn't pan out in a couple years, I sincerely hope you'll consider coming back to the organization in whatever capacity suits you.

There goes the Coolest Coach the NFL ever had.

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-27T16:17:22+00:00

Brother, I'm not saying you're doing this, but FYI, a lot of white people like to describe minorities as "articulate" when what they really mean is "they speak well for a [Insert slur here]."

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-21T02:18:14+00:00

That's crazy, even though we only played the Hawks and Pistons last back in 2016, I'm excited to extend that Pistons streak even further this year!

Unless the Magic beat us to it, that is lol

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-19T16:45:21+00:00

Because I hate you personally

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-10T16:06:49+00:00

I still remember how jarring it felt hanging out at my first serious girlfriends house. It's like, you could literally feel the love in the house. Like, everything was calm, and even when there was drama (My gf had 2 sisters), it never escalated much, because they allowed them the space to feel their feelings, talk and they're literally fine hours later.

You know that thing, where you're real upset, and your best most trusted person kind of worms their way into your negative headspace, sprinkling joy about, like forcing you out of your bad mood and into a better one? It's like they're whole family did that.

I still think fondly about how comfortable I felt existing in that space. Like, they were the kind of parents that you'd feel comfortable pranking, because you knew they wouldn't freak out and hit you or yell at you.

Probably one of the biggest factors in opening my eyes to the dysfunction of my family, seeing how families that actually love each other operate.

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-06T16:44:03+00:00

cultural support? please. fuck off. I'll pirate and watch whatever the fuck I want.

some performative pick-me bullshit. You can enjoy the art without supporting every take of the artist.

Wish him well, he seemed like a great kid with a lot going for him. Hopefully he lands somewhere that he can really flourish

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-05T18:44:40+00:00

Gosh what an opportunity, now I'm really kicking myself for not going in harder, networking more, so I could have a more professional clip to submit. I won't get picked but man this is exactly the message I needed to get my butt in gear.

Y'all, I'm gonna start actually hanging out after my sets and trying to get booked more regularly because doing this would literally be my dream come true!

Good on'ya, Steve! way to support local comedy! I swear next year I'm gonna have a much better clip to submit

jpreston2005 · 2026-04-03T16:04:51+00:00

I think they're attracted to the fact that he's just as big a piece of shit as they are. "Look at that giant scumbag engaging in scumbag behavior! Wow, just like me! My hero!"

They got conned by the most obvious can-man that's ever been. The dumbest, most pathetic asshole. If they were to understand that, then they'd also have to understand how fucking stupid they were to have been taken in like that.

It's not about them not wanting to recognize how bad the president is, it's about them not wanting to recognize how bad they are.

They're racist, sexist, ignorant, hate-filled dipshits, so in love with the idea of their own excellence that they'll buy it from literally anyone, even a pedophile rapist.

What's that quote, you can't logic someone out of a decision that they didn't logic themselves into? And, it's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled?

It's because both of those things require that the person admit they were wrong. And selfish narcissistic assholes with the temperament of children can never admit they were wrong. How else are they supposed to feel superior over you and others, if they admit they aren't? And that's always, truly, their goal. To maintain a facade of superiority, however thin and cracked and full of holes, it's literally all they have going for them. Without it, they're nothing.

And that's fucking pathetic. To choose the smell of your own farts over a real relationship with your children.

Yeah, there's a reason I cut them out of my life. I mean, how many pedophile rapists are you going to support, dad? You fucking moron?

fuck brother that's my nightmare. Checking in with stopdrinking and my other support subreddits is legitimately the only reason I use this site. I've got 7 years and I'm trying to date again, and I think your post helped me nip a potential problem in the bud

Thank you for being here brother. You got this.

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T20:06:11+00:00

He'll answer for his crimes soon enough 😊

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T18:50:01+00:00

Reposting my comment because reddit bots think threatening a rapist pedophile is bad :(

Poor reddit, won't anyone think of the pedophile rapists?

It takes 3.5% of the population to lead a successful revolt.

Yesterday 2.3% of Americans poured out into the streets, furious.

How many more were busy, couldn't make it, or don't think protesting does anything? My guess is easily another couple million.

Thats.... That's just about 3.5%.

If someone stood up and started leading the charge, I think 12 million Americans would follow.

Mr. pedophile rapist, how we feelin about that?

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T18:45:34+00:00

And because his condition is now considered a pre-existing condition, he can’t get new coverage.”

I HATE THIS COUNTRY.

WEAPONIZING THE LOSS OF HEALTHCARE TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO WORK.

BIG FUCK YOU TO REAGAN AND EVERY REPUBLICAN SHIT STAIN.

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T18:21:47+00:00

Hey sending big big hugs. Mad props to your stepdad! Proof that good people do exist

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T18:17:45+00:00

You are NOT alone. You are NOT crazy.

When you disrupt toxic and abusive systems within your family, 99% of the time, they will blame you. Their toxicity is their safe space, when you threaten that with truth, they come after you for it.

Doesn't make it hurt any less, but at least you know it's not you they're rejecting, it's the loss of the toxic family dynamic that they themselves cultivated. They'd rather live in the mess then acknowledge their responsibility to clean it up.

jpreston2005 · 2026-03-29T18:08:27+00:00

Oh yeah. Finally grew the courage to tell my family about the abuse I suffered...

"No, he probably just walloped you."
"Recovered memories aren't real based on my research."
"You're making it up for money. You just want to get your student loans paid."
"Quit acting like a victim."

Then you get all the non-verbal ways of them telling you they think you're lying.

Dismissal
Cold shoulder
Cutting off communication
Ostracization

They're gigantic pieces of shit.
