If we're going to have the superheroes, they're going to be us, so I guess it depends how badly we want them.

Lee Atwater full interview told the real reason for the dumbing down of America. Two younger family members went through four years of prestigious private universities, and neither had ever read classic literature, let alone discuss main themes and philosophical implications, which is sad, since Shakespeare still addresses basic and timeless western human conditions, and I daresay the reach may be broader than that.

Whatever happened to Jerome, anyway?

Oh yeah, that was s give amount of PTO. 😶

Oooh, like when the whole purpose of paying for cable television was no ads?

Richardson had recently filed a federal lawsuit against Sheffield police, accusing them of abusive behavior during his 2022 detention

If it was suicide, she should still sue.

Yes.

Those photos are gorgeous.

The worst part is, the average citizen anywhere in the world can not afford to do this. Only some other evil megacorporations

Israel and the USA routinely use DU in warfare and passively, as in tougher to penetrate tanks We know it's poison and needlessly expose every living thing to it, whether in warfare or not.

That people are so hell bent on spending more money to do the worst* possible things rather than just doing the right things in 2024 blows my mind.

A month so far. I mean, I'm pretty sure I probably said stuff that was ignorant of actual facts that showed up on other instances and could've been dv'd by, it argued over with them, it's hard to say since my original instance went down and I generally try not to hold grudges, but as long as I've been consciously aware, I don't recall any unpleasantness. But then I'm not going on their instances acting like I know everything just because I read it from a Western or US-centric source. All governments BS their citizens and we never really know to what extents, since *Assange, Snowden, Manning and a bunch of other whistle-blowers were heavily persecuted and prosecuted.

I have been corrected, with credible sources from Western-centric media and had my thinking challenged, but it wasn't disrespectfully, as far as I was aware. They're alright, I've had non -confrontational posts rm’d and been flamed for no good reason by mods and regulars on the biggest instance. Every other instance seems pretty decent, but that's my own experience.

I haven't.

It's almost as if people should be paid enough and have enough PTO to live and enjoy it, as well as vote.

The affidavit originally submitted with the Green Party’s petition in July 2023 was the correct one. However, because the petition that the Green Party submitted contained a separate mistake, an employee in the secretary of state’s office sent the party a sample petition that included the wrong affidavit – for use with petitions to put initiatives and referenda on the ballot. As a result, the affidavits that the Green Party later submitted with its petitions did not contain the attestation required for access to the ballot.

Wow.

Pro life fetish.

Is his wife the payer?

The first rule of fight club...

I just told a care provider recently that I've no idea if I'm capable of a healthy relationship, because I don't even know what one looks like from the outside, let alone from the inside. I'm nearly 60.

Religion is a front.

In its version of events, the Israeli military said militants of the Iran-backed group Hezbollah had fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli troops, wounding 25 of them. The attack was very close to a UNIFIL post and a tank helping evacuate the casualties under fire then backed into the UNIFIL post, it said. "It is not storming a base. It is not trying to enter a base. It was a tank under heavy fire, mass casualty event, backing up to get out of harm's way," the military's international spokesperson Nadav Shoshani told reporters.

.ml users called it over the weekend.

No you're coming across as white privilege who wants to keep that. It's not nice, cool or * admirable in any way, form or shape.

I think oligarchy is putting it extremely kindly. Can we please just acknowledge we are a naked kleptocracy now?

I'd be okay with execs and board members doing community service for first offense, if it means picking up trash on roadways, working in nursing facilities, harvesting crops, and other things Joe and Jane Average would be doing for community service.

The idea of not raising minimum wage and keeping wage slaves and corporate welfare is what they're arguing. It's not that it costs taxpayers more, it's that it costs rich people and corporations less.

My child seems to be in a reasonably healthy relationship. It's a wonder since I put them through a few bad ones, but I eventually left. They've been in a stable relationship for five years. I don't pry much and I pray they aren't staying because they feel they'd flounder, otherwise. Their partner is a good person, in not implying they aren't. Compatibility is a thing, common interests are necessary.

Could've used the money for supplies and lunches for the kids.

I don't recall Kent State protesters killing anyone.

So why don't you want one wage earned to be able to support their entire family or corporations to pay their fair share so we all call have quality health and education? The EC is rubbish, btw.

I don't know that turning onward is a bad idea. It can be, if we get terrified and refuse to go deeper. What I mean is, grief work and rage work and all the icky stuff is necessary, as are breaks from the heaviness. Be gentle with yourself, friend.

Not like the dnc couldn't lean hard on party representatives to make them fall in line.

Would be great if we could donate money to help infrastructure repair so they can cook the food.

I really like his channel, and he's pretty accurate.

There are other benefits, but I really don’t see this getting any traction, regardless, until we can get money our of politics and a wealth tax that makes sense (like 70%+ on the ultra wealthy).

Seems like an infinite loop by design.

Now we're all still property, but must find a way to feed, clothe, home ourselves and get to our mostly underpaid jobs. It's fine if it's extralegal, until we're caught or turned in.

Huh. I came specifically to say "Defund. Them."
