@nickimoraa Yeah, part of why I moved out of my parents' house was my sisters stopping by to drop their kids off to 'go shopping' and they'd be gone like 4-6 hours. Just because I'm their uncle doesn't mean I'm free labor.
@xevekiah I had almost this exact same thing happen to me in college, but the teacher gave me a 0 for "contributing too much and not allowing others to work", and I ultimately only passed with a C-. The next year she offered an advanced class I was interested in, and she said "I dunno..."
@littlebayschool My dad hitchhiked from 1970-1981 and the stories he always told me about that time were the wildest I ever heard. Such a strange time in U.S. history.
I’m so fucking tired man. Whatever happens this time, they’re still gonna be out here harassing people, they’re still gonna be out here terrorizing people, and every few weeks, they’re gonna kill somebody again.
And every single time, mfs on here will rise up in full-throated defense, like Karens, finding the tiniest little details to nitpick and defend the innocence of these oafs running around playing pretend cop. “Don’t resist! Don’t call them names! Don’t go out in public!” As if we didn’t live in the Land of the Free.
Frankly, I don’t need to know the details of every new public execution, because even from the beginning it’s all counter to how we do things in this country. It’s counter to a just and fair legal system. It’s counter to values of freedom and our God-given rights. It’s counter to the goddamn Constitution. For fuck’s sake, it’s counter to common sense.
So, we give these random dudes off the street guns and tell them to go harass and kill people? And for what? To defend our country from an “invasion”? Meanwhile these ICE fucks have effectively invaded and terrorized an entire state with their bullshit.
Never thought I’d see the day a government police force of thugs would occupy an American city and kill American citizens and so many people I used to respect would stand up and support it. People like you, so willing to disregard principles for party allegiance, make me sick. It’s un-American and it’s deranged.
I fear none of this is going to get any better, we’ve really crossed the chasm.
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street and building renamed, every date altered, and that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

4 days out from my life-changing surgery, @Aetna has denied the appeal for my brain surgery.
to be clear, when i signed up to aetna months ago, the coordinator had confirmed they would cover this surgery. then, a week ago, they said the surgery was too experimental/elective and denied coverage. we appealed. that appeal was just denied today.
now, my neurosurgeon is trying to do a peer-to-peer consult with someone at aetna to explain why i need it so we don’t lose the surgery date on monday morning. aetna is not being responsive.
this is sadistic and a violation of basic trust. please spread this so they can’t ignore it. they may not care if i live or die but people should know just what kind of company they’re dealing with. and please pray they are able to have a peer-to-peer consult with my neurosurgeon and have a change of heart.
@KyleKulinski These are the kinds of people who should be deported, full-stop. Hideously cruel. Disgusting. I hope his life is full of misery and he never finds peace.
@sinklord Honestly one of the most disgustingly ghoulish things I've ever seen in my life. Turning grief into a performative act for millions to watch is horrific.
@PaulTassi Yeah, I was not a fan of the plot, but it's hard not to argue that Last Jedi is the most incredible looking Star Wars film in the last decade.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: The Speaker of the House just claimed Donald Trump was an FBI informant tasked with taking down Epstein.
So let me get this straight.
They want us to believe Trump was working with the FBI…
to infiltrate Epstein’s orbit…
while simultaneously partying with him for years, appearing in dozens of photos,
and getting named by multiple survivors?
