Covid was like a natural experiment of "what happens if you derail someone's life at age X." We had toddlers delayed on language skills, middle schoolers not learning how to have normal friendships, 20-somethings never getting those early office jobs where you learn stuff.
rainbow capitalism is a canary. We don't Want performative corporations cashing in on pride, but when they Don't bother, it is a warning that we're moving backwards in being socially accepted enough to profit off of. Where is my overpriced mug with a flag that Almost exists on it
Is it bad that I miss rainbow capitalism? Like I went into target yesterday and there was literally no pride shit, not even a tacky button that says “love is love”. At least it was something, even if it was just to make a quick buck off us.
it’s crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year and almost no one cares about them because the administration has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events
So, the Trumpers who signed up for the $500 Trump phone YEARS ago and have still not received them just got an email saying they will NEVER receive them and.....wait for it.....wait for it......
Trump's keeping their deposit.
🤣😂🤣 Art of the grift.
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.
@FinancialPhys I drive about 26 miles to work. That’s about the MPG for my car. It’s costing me 2 gallons of gas and $5 each way
Definitely making more than $10 but ridiculous that in my state thats about minimum wage. Someone working minimum wage would lose an hr of wages just getting there
@ronrule@EPM108 I understand that some people hunt or shoot as a hobby, but this post is specifically talking about why someone would need a gun that can fold up, be easily transported/hid, and then be a functioning gun within 2 secs. Why would someone using a gun for a legit purpose need this
@csimons3 I never understood this. Your local fast food joint isn’t a bank. Just take the change and let the minimum wage worker go on about their day. Also with short change scams and everything being computerized, some managers don’t allow people to do this
@rodentwhimsy Oh gotcha! I’m very sorry you went through that. It’s not irrational at all! I just stumbled upon this post and thought I was missing something in the phandom specifically. Take care of yourself!
