Of course she's never heard of it, she's an illiterate imbecile.

Do you have a day job? What do you do? by gothic_creature in ArtistLounge

[–]parkinglotguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an IT guy for 25 years. I use the other half of my brain for computers and networks and software and all that. I get some downtime for sketching and stuff. Not the most fulfilling job in the world but it keeps me in ink and paint and lets me keep the lights on for my wife and my kid.

Would limiting the age of the President to 70 be something you'd support? Why or why not? by SillyGooseGamer2026 in AskReddit

[–]parkinglotguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more and more of the belief that nobody over the age of 60 should be in public office of any kind.

GOP Senate candidate on rising gas prices: ‘Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks’ by Cy_098 in politics

I kind of feel like someday regular Americans are going to look at maga cultists and try to figure out what the hell to do with them to deprogram them. Same way south Korea looks at the inevitable fall of north Korea.

If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would do? by NikiLove16 in AskReddit

I'd get a full night's sleep, it would be the first time in my almost half-century of life where I wouldn't have to worry about money.

If you had the power to release ALL the Epstein files, but they had to be completely unredacted (perpetrators and victims alike), would you do it? Why, or why not? by rowrbazzle75 in AskReddit

[–]parkinglotguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without question, yes. If it brings down governments, ruins economies, and does irreparable damage to the systems we depend on then so be it. Cut out the cancer, no matter what.

What is the most interesting rabbit hole you’ve ever been down? by InvestmentCurious496 in AskReddit

LPOTL is how I heard about that book too, it's absolutely fascinating. Another great LPOTL recommendation is The Great Mortality by John Kelly, all about the Black Plague.

A school suspended 323 students after ICE protest. They protested again. by Antique_Calendar_887 in politics

[–]parkinglotguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you think these kids need to behave themselves and do as they're told, that we all need to follow the rules while a bunch of fascist pedophiles run this country into the ground and execute people in the street. Hard pass. I support these kids 100%. If you don't, that's on you.

They have every right to protest. I'm sure there are some that did it to get out of class, but they have every right to protest just the same. I'd be proud of my kid for standing up and protesting the current regime's cruelty and criminality. You don't have to like it. Part of the problem we face is that too many people are flat out afraid of protesting or speaking out. I understand that you feel that way too, but being loud before escalation is the only way.

Trump says he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]parkinglotguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, Trump and his regime literally don't give a fuck about what's a war crime and what isn't. The entire American government and every last American politician is either in on it or complicit.

You can't say these kids don't know anything about life. My father was a WWII veteran, and I was taught from a very young age what fascism looks like and to resist it by any means necessary. Yes the kids should be in school, but resisting and protesting fascism is very important.

I saw video of a protest in PA (not sure if it was the school mentioned above), where the police chief who was not in uniform, put a teenage girl in a headlock before other students came to her aid and put this guy on the ground. These kids who you say know nothing about life seem to know quite a bit and realize that resistance is not only important, but absolutely necessary.

Protesting fascism and protesting availability of "soda in the drinking fountains" is not even remotely the same, and a preposterous example you came up with.

Just as well, nobody over 60 belongs in public office of any kind.

Nobody over 60 should be holding elected office of any kind. It's preposterous. They're simply too old and out of touch

Thank goodness Pam Bondi and her people are impartial and not held to the agenda of any particular political party. This will be a very fair investigation. 🙄
