I AM THE WAY INTO THE CITY OF WOE
I AM THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN PEOPLE
I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL SORROW
ONLY THOSE ELEMENTS TIME CANNOT WEAR
WERE MADE BEFORE ME, AND BEYOND TIME I STAND.
ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE.
@GSmokesweed1 Totally normal. I quit smoking and still had sudden weird cravings for five years. I had to give up smoking pot because of the actions are so similar. Thank goodness for edibles.
I'm cigarette free for 32 years.
@smalls2672 This was a fairly straightforward question but I've been meaning to ask you . . .
. . . do you teach history? Are you a college professor or something?
When I read your posts, there's so much historic background, detail, and analysis. I feel like it's more than an avocation.
@hookskat There's an argument to be made that Christianity is the reason we're in this mess today.
While Europe fused religion & government, at least the religion was mainstream. They sent the misfits to America to practice their bizarre beliefs.
Today, the poison tree is bearing fruit.
If you don't, you don't deserve them.
You don't deserve any of the love they've given you.
A paraphrase
A dog is just a chapter in the life a a human.
A human is a dog's whole book
It's true of any pet you have.
Act accordingly.
I feel no sympathy . . .
. . . for unions who knew Trump is an anti-union liar . . .
. . . for Latinos who thought, "We're the good ones. He wouldn't deport *us*" . . .
. . . for women who sacrificed their daughters rights thinking Trump wouldn't send their sons to war.
FAFO
The Vice President of the Steel Workers Union who endorsed Trump now says he is “very frustrated” Trump says he’ll cancel the U.S. Steel - Nippon deal.
“He lied to us. It's like a gut punch."
Does he deserve losing thousands of dollars and jobs?
It's going to go on as long as the corporate media is able to make a profit.
(Is this a trick question?)
The blinders and tunnel vision are part of the business model.
Now, go buy some Jardiance or Trelegy or . . . something they advertise.
@TheFungi669 A possibility
I've seen posts by white female Trump voters saying that they were afraid that the US would be at war if Trump wasn't elected. Some literally said that they'd rather deny body autonomy to their daughters than see their sons go to war.
Strange how misogyny works.
@Christo24881262 Exporters and importers look for ways to get around tariffs. Can you imagine what the black market in bootleg toilet paper is going to look like to the rest of the world?
Yes. TP is going up. The wood pulp comes from Canada.
To all those crying about not being welcome at your family's house . . .
It's not new.
You're family has disliked you for a long time.
This was just the last straw.
Figure out how to cook Thanksgiving dinner. You're not entitled to someone else's labor.
I gotta say, it's pretty fucking funny to me that people are crying that they're not welcome at their family's house for Thanksgiving after voting for trump.
Like no, you're NOT entitled to a nice, pleasant dinner with decent folks after you voted for a fucking adjudicated rapist whose policies will jack up prices, break up families, end Healthcare coverage, and more.
I have ZERO sympathy for you Googling "can I change my vote" dumbasses after you saw the same January 6th that we did.
He's the same irresponsible dick who botched the response to covid, only he's much worse now, physically and mentally.
Go take your ass to McDonald's.

I'm going to say something bad.
Racism
Not just White/Black racism.
Brown/Black racism
I've talked to Latinos where I live and they acknowledge it's a thing.
Latino men voted for Trump.
VP Harris checked off two "no" boxes for them.
