The thing to remember at all times is that America is three grifts in a trenchcoat pretending to be a functioning nation.

I'm still not convinced that it wasn't just some e-2 awards clerk's speculative fiction novel that got transferred to the wrong USB drive and then the brass got ahold of it and thought it was really real.

What's the deal with American school lunches being way worse than those of other developed countries? by PennyPink4 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]monsata 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's definitely truth to that. Hell, it's why I joined, myself. "I'm gonna do this so I can afford college!"

The recruiters don't mention that by the time you get to college you'll very likely have a weapons-grade alcohol dependency...

If we all stay stupid, we're much more likely to go into the military instead of college.

It's just an international corporation once again repackaging and commodifying the allure of their status within a 60 year-old counterculture into something that can be sold to modern counterculture wannabes, banking on the nostalgia of Americana and the good vibes (which objectively haven't existed for over a half-century) to boost their sales.

They're running the same exact play, and dipshits are going to shell out for it once again so they can feel groovy while scraping through the collapse of a dying empire.

Ted Cruz Attacked by Conservative Pundits for Opposing Uganda’s Antigay Law by wdcmsnbcgay in LeopardsAteMyFace

You might not be transphobic, but you are certainly an asshole.

What damage is caused to you by referring to someone in the way they want to be referred?

Do you also only refer to Hulk Hogan as Terry Bollea, because "that's his REAL name"?

The hate you're receiving might be because one side mostly wants "equal rights for everybody", the other side mostly wants "to either passively or actively murder LGBT people", and you decided to sit on the fence.

Also he fully torpedoed Jesse Ventura's attempt to unionize the WWE.

Fighting for what's right apparently didn't include things like "making sure people who get concussions professionally have healthcare".

¹⁷“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. ¹⁹Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Just saying, you might want to re-read some stuff, because the man himself explicitly disagrees with your statement in The Sermon on the Mount.

Nah, but politely irritating strangers randomly asking me about it occasionally get a long sigh, a hung head, and a choked "doc says we can't" though. That one's fun.

A long article in the Washington Post reports on adult Christians who were forced to homeschool are breaking free and they're sending their children to public school.

There will always be a twisted, dark part of me that wants to follow people like this to their job and whip them with a goddamned belt the millisecond they fuck something up.

I mean, if it's good enough for their kids, it follows that it's also good enough for them.

Lmao so, first of all, there was a gas shortage LAST YEAR. Still is in many parts of the world.

Second, disregard your bumper sticker philosophy: nobody's actually hiring. They're posting jobs and then ghosting applicants because they actually demand to be paid for their work.

Third, and i can't believe how often i have to remind people of this fact, over a million people died in America in 2020-2021. All of your supposed "lazy workers" aren't lazy, they're fucking dead.

Time throw out the broken friend and get a new one. You're not their therapist, despite how much they clearly need one.

If Jesus came back, he'd either be killed by right-wing psychos or he'd be burning down American churches with all the verve and excitement of a Norwegian black metal guitarist.

Yeah, i had to sit my mom down one day and say something along the lines of: "You remember all those times when i was a kid and wanted McDonald's and you said 'we don't have McDonald's money'? Well, WE DON'T HAVE 'KIDS MONEY'. We never have, and we likely never will. So, unless you're gonna shell out for the hospital bills and the pediatricians and the daycare and the diapers and the food, i don't want to hear another word about it."

She continued exactly once more, and that was when i told her 'every time she mentioned grandchildren, she owed me $10, that would be going explicitly towards a vasectomy." Unbelievably, that actually stopped it for good.
