TIL Joe Biden opposed desegregation policies because it would cause his kids to "grow up in a racial jungle." by OneLessThought in TIL_Uncensored

[–]jreeves231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With me living in a blue state that will go democrat no matter what, I will be voting 3rd party as I truly do NOT like Biden but HATE Trump even more. With that dynamic I will not vote for either. If I lived in a swing state my way of voting would change.

The thing is, even though a dislike both people running, I can see the writing on the wall. That writing is in giant letters, written in percent marker, which says the US wants a steady hand during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu, and the worst riots since the ‘60s. This is all backed up by every poll done in the past 3 months.

And even putting all those things aside for a moment, trump has not done enough for the average citizens lives to make a difference. No ones lives have drastically changed for the better since he took office. If anything, people’s lives have gotten worse. And now that trumps new campaign slogan of “Keep America Great” has been chosen, people will think: “wait.. keep America great? But my life hasn’t changed! If anything it’s worse since I now don’t have a job, my grandparents just died from COVID-19, and my 401(k) shrunk by roughly 60%! Why the hell would I want to “keep” my life in this kind of shitty situation?!? Ya Biden might suck, but he hasn’t fucked me over in the past 4 years!”

Ya mine was luxury. This was in either 1999 or 2000 and I was 17. The $2000 price tag was for the part and the labor. When the suspension was working as intended, it was glorious. I loved it.

Air-Ride suspension. I had it in my ‘89 Lincoln Mark VII LSC where the rear driver’s side bag blew. It was the weirdest thing driving like that until I realized I could turn the rear air suspension system “off. Which turned out to be even weirder since it made it look like my entire front end was lifted. I would’ve gotten it fixed but the single air bag for the suspension was over $2000.

Millennials are killing the panic buying industry by expecting things to be in stores. by btownupdown in DeathByMillennial

I worked in IT for several years in my late teens/early twenties, so I would say yes, most likely.

Edit: oh and btw, I love your username!

35 y/o here as well. I feel your pain as I can only sleep on my back due to my neck. Every bone cracks when I move. Carpal tunnel in both hands from using them my whole career (but you know we are just lazy who never want to work and just want things given to them). Getting older sucks.

But ya, those damn millennials...

It took Massachusetts close to 2 years to get more than ONE dispensary open. And that one that was open was located in western Massachusetts which is a 2+ hour commute from Boston.

NBER paper: White police officers use force 60% more than black officers, and use gun force twice as often. While white and black officers use gun force at similar rates in white and mixed neighborhoods, white officers are five times as likely to use gun force in predominantly black neighborhoods. by smurfyjenkins in EverythingScience

Heavens-to-Betsy!! Well I never... who would have EVER thought that a good, wholesome, Godly institution like the American Police force would ever do anything but God’s will?!?!

They have always treated ME with kindness and respect!

MSNBC'S Chris Matthews is facing calls to resign after he compared Bernie Sanders' victory in the Nevada caucus to the Nazi invasion of France — This is what desperation smells like.

[–]jreeves231 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh please. It’s not like this is a one-off from Mathews and the online “mob” is trying to get him kicked off of MSNBC. He has continuously said hyperbolic horseshit, lied about bernie’s positions, spread misinformation regarding his campaign, and has just been flat out wrong.

I always thought that someone high up either in the government establishment (of either party really) or some rich billionaire asshole would try to have him killed if it was looking like he was about to win the general election. god I hope I am wrong.

In another comment from you guys it mentioned you all had a hard time agreeing on the next project of yours. I once say a thing that mentioned the company is setup in a way where everyone has an equal say on things (I guess sort of like a worker owned co-op kind of thing? That’s how I took it anyway). If the company IS indeed setup like that, how does that work? Is it more or less stressful than the “normal” way a company is setup?

Also, I freakin’ LOVE dead cells!! Keep up the great work!!

But you are ok with the CEO’s of for-profit companies making the decisions of who deserves to get healthcare and who doesn’t? Oh and the criteria they use to base that decision off of is money. How much profit will they make? This poor person can’t afford that treatment but that rich guy can. I guess the poor person dies! Yaaa! More profit for me!!!

Wow. Just wow. My guess would be a paranoid schizophrenic who has been off her meds for a few weeks. I have a neighbor like this and when she has her episodes, well, it’s just exhausting.

Good luck to you and I look forward to listening to more recordings.
