@EufyOfficial I ordered these as a Christmas gift and this is how it arrived. Box torn, no bubble wrap or bubble mailer to cushion or protect the cameras. What assurances do I have these will even work now? Is this why shipping was free? Seeking resolution. Thank you.

@absurdistwords That's cute. Even cuter is they probably really think that. Problem is, way too many of them see the people as the enemy.

@megynkelly You know what is grosser? Fascism.

@first_merch @secretlyAkat @BeauTFC What happens if they are disbarred? Can they continue to sit on the bench? Can they be disbarred?

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@BeauTFC Why does it seem so often when some men have questions about women, they always ask other men, and never women? Not that it's necessarily bad, but it depends on which man they ask. Why do certain men think other men know more about women than women do?

@AOC Our society decided long ago it was okay to treat certain people cruelly and inhumanely. What we're quibbling over is who exactly will be dehumanized and how we can rationalize it.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords My teeth would have killed me. Thankfully my husband and I were able to scrape together several thousand dollars over time to address a good chunk of it. Still need another 5k to get me to a stable point. The point seems to be to keep us broke and miserable.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@driven2drink @absurdistwords But without a hierarchy how can you be better than and control other people? Personally I think a social web would be better, but what do I know.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@RuffShenanigans @absurdistwords But the war on drugs is such a useful way to keep people in fear, justify theft from the people, and take away their rights by arresting them. How else can one so easily manipulate situations and people to look a certain way and sway public opinion to their desired outcome?

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords Well, the government's purpose is to control us so we don't upset the apple cart for the super wealthy, or parasite class. Considering one can't be the nominee for either of the two parties without approval from the parasite class I'm not surprised at his words.

@Urien_mawr @CuyahogaDave1 @absurdistwords Knowing the better path to take is not the same as getting everyone to walk it.

@koush @emilypostitnote @absurdistwords I can't tell you how many times I've been given grief because of my pessimism, from about as early as I can remember.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords Like Smaug and his ilk on their piles of treasure.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords America loves punishment. Not sure if it's because it's an easy emotional reaction of anger, we like dominance and feeling superior to others, too lazy and selfish for empathy, fear of nonconformity, or a combination. But it seems America just really likes to punish.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords It seems to work that way in general in America. The poorest among us have the highest expectations put upon them with no leeway whatsoever, while the rich and powerful have the lowest expectations and have every excuse they give accepted.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords At what point can we say the U.S. government has declared war on its citizens?

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@ByMikeBaker For trumpsters and their apologists, oppression was never the problem, complaints about it are. They want protests to be peaceful so they can continue to ignore the problem.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@JoyceMinipoodle @AP @OakCliffLawyer Pretty sure we've already gone over the precipice.

[The Compass Needle @XCompassNeedleX]

@absurdistwords At what point can we officially say we're living in a fascist dictatorship?
