Yeah, it's not even just a sensationalist headline. It's what they ruled. How are we supposed to reconcile this with the rest of the world? I'm genuinely asking. How do you include a country with leadership like this in the future of the world? Someone enlighten me.

Yeah, this is clearly one of those the accusation is a confession moments.

Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.

I worked at a library in college. It was amazing. Truly one of my favorite jobs I've had. Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. Go support your local library folks!!

Go to your local food bank. Food banks are often seriously underused programs that are exactly for people in your situation. A lot of people are hesitant to use food pantries because they perceive them to be for people in worse shape than themselves. But if you are only able to pay half rent, you are exactly the person that food pantries are more than happy to help. They are typically staffed with incredible people who often have their own experiences with trouble making ends meet, and these days you can get some very high quality and fresh food. Please, go. Other than that, know that being tired and feeling hopeless is normal, but you can persevere. Just reaching out here is a really hard step that takes a lot of courage. Good on you! And good luck! Internet hugs!!!

I imagine the census worker was asking the father for answers, so this is likely his passive aggressive critique of his daughter. Good for her.

Their message is "don't people who are different than you freak you out?!?!". Simpletons, grifters, and losers. That's all they've got left.

Definitively no.

Sucks. We had lots of fun there when it first started. But I've deleted my account now. It's hilarious to watch Jake try and make an empire. What a loser.

You should be proud of yourself. Thanks for being here, we need perspectives like yours to help us remain empathetic.

I really wanna see his hair wet. I wonder how long those whispy little strands really are. I bet they're like a foot long, all coming from the one random spot on his bloated head that still grows hair with any structural integrity, the rest being brittle and unable to hold any shape, even with a whole bottle of hairspray applied. Disgusting. I'm mad at myself for making myself think this thought lol hence why I am now cursing all of you.

Agreed. I understand the flippancy with him in particular, but prisons should not be a place where your life is in danger. Think of the other inmates, not just him. There are lots of inmates who can be reformed, but living in an environment that is so dangerous makes that much less likely. Sucks all around.

This is a well written article that delves into the industry around politician penned books. Interesting and ridiculous. Thanks for sharing op!

This is a bad take to me. Them having a surplus of money is good. We want them to be operating as strongly as possible. Is it shitty to use an appeal to emotion like that? Absolutely. However, that shouldn't mean we all stop donating to them. For some people, the shitty appeal to emotion doesn't outweigh the importance of what wikipedia provides. Don't donate if you don't have it, but if someone still sees the value in what they do and it is easy for them to donate then they should do so. Personally, I put my money elsewhere, but discouraging people from donating at all is a weird stance to take.

Senior citizens being the outright meanest demographic. Not by frequency, but by intensity. The amount of stubbornness, entitlement, and just absolute resentment for everything around them shocks me. The way they react to things not going exactly how they think they should go is astounding. Don't get me wrong, the majority of them are pleasant and wonderful. But when an old person is mean, it's on its own level. I'd say middle aged people are more likely to be difficult, but they never even come close to the tantrums that seniors will throw. Part of this could be chalked up to mental decline, but the main part is entitlement. Plenty of people experience mental decline, and dont become vitriolic assholes. They truly think they're special and should get whatever they want at all times. Its exhausting explaining to an adult why I can't do something for them that our organization is literally unable to do.

In another thread someone mentioned the pipedream of the rnc going bankrupt to pay his legal bills. I haven't stopped thinking about it. That would be so glorious.

I thought it was particularly interesting that the only official to initially reserve judgment and fight for the principal was from their union. Unions are so important and are proving their use again and again. Also, the idiot who made the deep fake was caught essentially stealing from the school, and retaliated using the schools network to access everything he used to retaliate. Like, this is not a smart human. Some people really think they are the star of their own little movie. Real life doesn't have plot armor you dumbass.

Everyone, please, keep your dogs leashed. Keeps them safe, keeps you safe, and keeps other hikers safe. Never let a dog off leash while hiking. You're asking for trouble.

From where I sit physical media is experiencing a huge surge in popularity. So I think bluray is here to stay, and will see more usage in the coming years.

Maybe I'm dumb but this seems to mean that not everyone applied. You can't get the thing if you don't apply for the thing.

This is one of the shittiest shitposts I've ever seen. Well done!

It's quite naive to say that missionaries are just "expressing" themselves. It has been well documented that they use predatory and coercive tactics to take advantage of the poor and uneducated. Missionaries are colonialist, which is undefensible.

The snowflakes crave their safe spaces

I have an account with beehaw. It's my favorite place on the internet. I think most of us are happy with the way it has panned out. Some discussion here and there of potentially leaving activitypub altogether. If it happens, I will follow. If it doesn't I will stay. Beehaw is too special for those of us it speaks to and works for. I don't see it dying anytime soon, that's for sure.

Well this is a hypothetical that puts a pep in my step!

No advertisements. Period. Donations should be enough, especially if instances remain small like they are intended to. The federated internet is not about becoming reddit, which many people misunderstand. It's supposed to be something different, and one of the keys to that difference is avoiding corporate interests driving the site. Advertisements kill that instantly. If you want ads, go use meta shit.

I'm so pleased we have reduced beetlejuice-hand job lady to just being beetlejuice-hand job lady. May she go down in history as beetlejuice-hand job lady, the absolute worst at giving hand jobs.

Absolutely. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel bad for him at all. I do feel bad for the good people who are incarcerated who are victims of our prison system.

That's pretty awesome! It will be interesting to see if we get a noticeable influx with all the moronic moves reddit is making. Here's hoping!

These dipshits have seen too many movies. What a dumb sack of shit. This moron was injecting steroids to prep for Jan 6, he seriously just wanted to play action hero and "save the government" like he's goddamn Bruce Willis. These idiots are so fucking stupid. Like, so stupid they can't help but ruin their own lives and fuck up the lives of those around them. Sad it's such a short sentence because he is still going to be searingly stupid when he gets out.

Relatable lol. I have been working on giving people the benefit of the doubt. Then I read his words. He really told on himself.

One step closer to bankruptcy for the rnc. Here's hoping!

Thanks for this! I appreciate the work it takes!

Thank you for pointing out this context.

The funniest thing to me is watching these guys put on a suit. Like, they think that putting on a suit makes them smart. Do you really think that we can't tell that you're a stupid waste of carbon just because you put on a blazer?

Nah. I wouldn't be able to enjoy the money dealing with the ptsd this would likely cause.

Did any of you read the article? Yes, NY post is trash. But they mention it as the reason he was identified. Because he has a very specific, very noticeable identifier. Such as a giant head tattoo.

All of these internet corporations really thought they were institutions that could not be rattled. They forget that in the grand scheme of things they have been around for no time at all and consumers will be happy to move to whatever comes along next.

I don't think someone stupid enough to write this trash can do basic arithmetic.
