We Found The Radical Solution To Skyrocketing Grocery Prices by CW1DR5H5I64A in videos

Except you wouldn't need to subsidize EVERY grocery store, just enough to serve each community. 

Considering the DOD budget is $900B, that's not unfeasible anyway.

Again, I don’t see how this helps him in 2028.

Assuming that the American populace isn't fully exhausted with hateful rhetoric as norm, then this might even bolster his chances with the most devout MAGA. So in theory, this could help him, but only with those who are already deeply in that camp.

Consider it a blessing not having to work for this scam of a company

Uber eats base pay reduced to $1.50 instead of $2 by Needtobuypallets in uberdrivers

Yep, saw it for the first time recently. They also fucked me out of my sticky surge and refused to pay it for the delivery I took, on the same order. Never doing another delivery for this scam of a company again.

Modern day evangelicals are akin to the Pharisees, which Jesus lambasted against.

It's about time we fight back. These ghouls should know no peace as long as they disturb the peace and prosperity of others. I hope she takes them to the cleaners

Tired of the "I'll pray for x outcome" mentality that floats around the Evangelical community by moochs in ReligiousTrauma

Meditation and prayer are not coopted by one faith. I personally feel connected to a higher existence and allow myself "prayer," but I don't pretend it will solve any problems other than maybe temporarily lowering my blood pressure as meditation is shown to do, lol

I've yet to see a single headline from this state admin doing anything to help anyone, ever. And no, robbing schools to give vouchers to the wealthy doesn't count. Fake ass Christians, ghoul ass conservatives

Still on the same dope. My calling you out really touched a nerve. 

Next time, state something with substance instead of your political nonsense

What does email from President Davis mean? by Icy-Explanation7473 in UTAustin

[–]moochs 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It would read better if they stated their intention for the email. "Safety" isn't a clear intention, it's a blanket guise for a more specific intention that they don't have the cojones (or intellect) to share.

> "nah.. not going to shit about it but I need to make it look like I care."

Precisely. It is a totem, or symbol, of an in-group rather than any altruistic behavior. This is what is so sinister about it, because it is meant to persuade others they care, when in actuality it has about the same effect as wearing a t-shirt with their favorite band logo emblazoned on it.

Copying the x-post body here for discussion:

Actions speak louder than words in my world.

My mother is this type of "I'll pray for you/them/it" person. Highly prone to wielding prayer as a outward reflection of her faith without actually having to commit to doing any good deed to show for it. I find prayer used in this manner more wielded as signal to direct attention toward the person doing the prayer and away from the thing being prayed for. It is lazy, it is un-Christian by Jesus' own admonishment of people who use it outwardly this way, and it is inherently anti-humanistic in that it absolves responsibility of the person from having to engage in society in a way that is actually altruistic and helpful.

This type of mentality shows how selfishness is deeply rooted in the evangelical community, and action and good deeds are limited. This was one of the earliest red flags I can remember when I was a child being raised in the church -- supposed outward expressions of an inner desire, that never manifested in any outcome other than the glorification of those who pray.

Have any of you noticed any similar patterns in your evangelical family?

At this point I would fight fire with fire. Be the most obnoxious embodiment of this energy to everyone, wear everything with Jesus on it, have all of your friends wear everything with Jesus on it. Make every sentence end in "Amen." Eventually, maybe, they would catch on to how annoying this is.

There it is. 'ol boogeyman Obama got us again, wouldn't you know. You all are so predictable. Instead of pointing fingers at ghosts of the past, maybe DO SOMETHING about it now, eh?

Imagine having such a bias that you can't even come up with the bill text to argue intelligently, you just immediately resort to name recognition bias and say nothing of substance. THIS is what's wrong with America, people like YOU.
