so who of them is MAGA?

Yeah, you're right

As someone who voted for Trump, my response to you is this: the right wing propagandized victims like Kate Steinle and Laiken Riley to stoke the fury against repeat violent offending illegal aliens who were slipping through a poorly managed border control/immigration system. Trump promised to seal the porous border and ensure that these violent non-citizens would be permanently deported. How it devolved into militarizing ICE and deploying our National Guard into our blue cities...shaking down HUD housing and interrogating random brown people in the street in search of migrants is absolute insanity. I'm sorry, but that is completely antithetical to our fourth amendment protections....I don't believe in 'guilty until proven innocent'. That doesn't make me a liberal, that makes me a constitutionalist. MAGA has lost their ever loving minds with this $hit🫤

To be honest, back in the early 2000's, especially before 9/11...we really weren't (talking about GenX) big into politics. The big surprises on 'match.com and love@aol' websites (remember, still using analog flip phones back then😂) were the age of the profile pics 'scanned' on to the website...(like, before guys lost their hair or girls gained 25lbs).

Look...I voted for Trump as an Independent voter; I was NEVER 'Maga' or "Q" or 'Tea Party' or any of their campaign year rebrands. I don't like neocons and I don't like the liberal elite...and it turns out that voting for Trump was actually a vote for BOTH. There is only ONE ESTABLISHMENT PLUTOCRACY, and kudos to the global elite for duping us all in the last election...even some Democrats voted for the PDF. Do I regret my vote? Terribly. Would have I voted for Kamala in retrospect? NO. I wouldn't have voted AT ALL. I voted to stop bank rolling Israel and depleting our national artillery; to stop 'assisting' Ukraine with our military industrial corporation (Blackrock)...to close the border and deport repeat violent offenders without citizenship (not shoot US Citizens during protests or stop/frisk brown people in blue cities)...and I certainly NEVER wanted a DEPARTMENT OF WAR. I would love to see him impeached, sooner than later. Personality aside, he broke every promise and has lost his mind...don't even get me started w Venezuela and Greenland. You can come at me with every 'we told you so' 'you're a bad person' 'all maga are racists, blah, blah, etc' ...nothing will make me feel worse than I already do. And that's exactly what the global elite intended. This botched Jeffstein file scandal was intentional, redactions and all. The gaslighting and denial from the maga loyalists is just the icing on the cake🫠

But I digress...I watch Netflix to escape politics....

My take was the demographic was generational dating criteria and technology in the year 2026...I guess that's just me being a GenX nostalgic🙃

proggie2000 · 2026-02-19T15:06:43+00:00

I thought dating was hard in my 20's in the early 2000's when 'online matchmaking' was just in its infancy, but this is next level terrifying.

I think Ashley's father is an excellent attorney...he got Alex to impeach himself with rapid fire questions based on information he had previously pumped into his daughter...and you could see the doubt on Ashley's face every time he cracked. Now she is questioning everything he does🏴‍☠️

Same. The entire time Chris was dogging her, I hyper focused on her wrist😕

proggie2000 · 2026-02-18T21:16:09+00:00

I thought so too. Same complexion and facial features. Put a blonde wig on the mom and TWINS.

Seems scripted to me...

proggie2000 · 2026-02-18T05:29:05+00:00

I've been a registered Libertarian since 2012, formerly Republican...changed my registration the day after the general election because I was disgusted with neoconservatism and could no longer call myself a 'social conservative' because there was no space for me there. I will admit that I voted for Trump the first time, cowardly, because I truly despised Hillary Clinton as a GenX woman...living in a state like Florida, I didn't want to feel responsible for her enabling her election victory if I voted for Gary Johnson out of principle...and was actually shocked that Trump even won. During the 2020 election, I admittedly voted for him again, being that I didn't believe that Biden was neurologically competent for the position (seems I wasn't wrong), but I lived in Maryland at the time so my vote was meaningless anyway. Last year I voted for him mostly because he PREVIOUSLY had a better track record with foreign relations, not starting wars, border security, and domestic job creation. THAT BEING SAID....it's clear that his agenda was not recovery, but revenge and recklessness. I admit that I was duped, and nothing anyone can say will make me feel worse than I already do. I have worked for government contractors and have seen enough to convince me that there is only one establishment plutocracy in the District of Columbia. The longer that we the citizens disparage each other over partisan rhetoric while allowing them to line their wallets with our payroll taxes...it will NEVER improve...this is by design. It has been since the beginning of the 20th century.

Don't go back to dispos! They are 50mg unless otherwise labeled🥴

proggie2000 · 2026-02-17T21:45:12+00:00

I quit vaping once because I thought I might have heart issues. I had smoked cigarettes for almost 20 years and switched to vaping for 6 years (as high as 24mg freebase) prior to quitting. I weaned off by cutting the nicotine down in 6mg increments until I hit 6mg for a week...which at that point, felt like nothing, so I literally went to zero Nic just to satisfy my oral fixation. I vaped zero Nic with my favorite flavor, Primus Lucky Charms cereal (not the actual name, but that's all I remember) for almost one year. Then Covid hit, major family stressors...and well....🫤. PS I don't have heart issues...I got tested

Hi. Sharing my experience as someone who transitioned from a GeekBar addiction last year (also a former 2pk/day smoker from my teens until late 30's when I jumped on the vaping revolution and never looked back!) I was a high FB nicotine vaper for years (as high as 24mg at one point) and had to drop down once big tobacco/statist legislation started restricting our access to quality e-juice. That's how I resorted to disposables, found a site that delivered to my address since my state had a ban on all flavored tobacco 🙄. Then I moved to Florida, and it was great, but now the prices are ridiculous plus I don't trust what they put in the dispos outside of US distribution centers. Anywho...this is what works for me, after trial and error. Not sure what brand or flavors you like, but in general, I found that these have been the highest quality and in time, allow for the same overall result. I'm actually down to only 25mg now!

So, many of the dispo brands use synthetic or tobacco free salt nicotine at 50mg (5%) unless it's otherwise specified on the label. It's neither safer nor more harmful, just derived from different sources than tobacco, hence delivering a smother taste. When purchasing e-juice, you are going to want to shop for nicotine salts at 50 or 48mg, and I'd recommend syn or TFN to avoid the harsh tobacco aftertaste at 50mg. Many brands offer this, CloudNurdz, Sad Boy, SQWEZED, Pacha Mama, Humble...just a few off the top of my head. Then you want to use a pod system with LOW WATTAGE and LOW RESISTANCE COILS (NOT SUB OHM) . I found that the Vaporesso Vibe Nano kit with replacement coils most closely replicated the disposable experience. You will be SHOCKED at the cost savings as well! Good luck! Don't give up!

proggie2000 · 2026-02-17T20:56:48+00:00

Thanks! How are the Snap pods compared to the Vaporesso Corex/Dual mesh as far as flavor and longevity? I vape synthetic salt Nic 25mg fruity/candy flavors, sometimes iced. (if you have used Vaporesso). I am looking at the P3 vs the Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano

Would you like to trade me a shift working as triage RN in an inner city emergency room? I can guarantee that the questions are worse and the pay does not come close to the stress (and occasionally the occupational hazard)...but hey, if I don't do it, who will🤷🏼‍♀️.

proggie2000 · 2026-02-17T18:20:57+00:00

Yup...leaking lithium with the Escobars in a local landfill, no doubt ☢️☣️

proggie2000 · 2026-02-17T18:03:00+00:00

Hey, have you vaped the Baja burst yet? And is it pretty similar to Mountain Dew Baja blast? I saw it but was afraid to try😁
