So you don’t feel comfortable celebrating America’s 250th anniversary because of our “complicated past” or some bullshit?

Cool, find me a country with a spotless history then.

You can’t.

And if you go looking you’ll soon learn this one is as close as they come.

Why do you think half the world risked life and limb to come here? And why you haven’t left.

Look, we all know America isn’t perfect; I’m Gen X and from the Deep South and I learned all about slavery and suffrage and the Trail of Tears every single year from elementary school through 12th grade.

They drilled it into our brains ad nauseam. We couldn’t ignore it if we tried, but when you celebrate someone’s birthday you don’t bring up all the dumb shit they did in the distant past, do you?

Of course not you miserable f***s!

It’s a party for the greatest country the world has ever known, not a struggle session centered on shit that happened a century ago.

But you know all this, you just look for stuff to cry about because the only way you keep any fraction of power is by keeping America divided; a truly “United States” would render your ideology extinct overnight.

And if Trump was half the dictator you claimed you’d be on the first train out of here. But he isn’t, and America isn’t the fascist nightmare state you love to pretend it is.

Quite the opposite, in fact, hence your being allowed to exist here.

If there’s anything still wrong with this country it’s people like you who take advantage of its generosity while also somehow playing the victim.

So grab your boxed wine, stream your Hasan Piker, and cry into your thrifted cat pillow.

Because George Washington, and the rest of us for that matter, are over your bullshit.

As someone who is experiencing quite a few negative symptoms, I’d agree it needs to be addressed. People of all types take advantage, but that doesn’t erase the ones who aren’t. I agree with you on a lot, but these symptoms are often debilitating. You are smart enough to find real resources. Please do.

@duolingo When someone is off grid, it is difficult to keep the streak. Can you solve this?

Dear Chuck Schumer,

Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of “Eyes On the Prize” when I was younger.

With that said…

Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0?” Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).

With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.

Looking forward to your answer.

No hugs.
Zeek

My local council have cancelled an event called "Covid Day Of Reflection" later this month.

It's a shame. I was looking forward to "reflecting" on the fact that covid could kill you if you stood up to walk to the toilets in a pub without wearing a mask but not if you were sat down eating a pie. And of course you had to be out of the pub by 10pm because covid knew the time and would kill you if you were still supping up your last drops of beer at 10.01pm.

I was looking forward to "reflecting" on the fact that at one point people who worked in Tesco didn't have to wear a mask at work but if they popped into Aldi on the way home covid would INSTANTLY know they were in a different supermarket and kill them. (And vice versa for all supermarket staff).

I was hoping to reflect that families from different households were allowed to sit in groups of 8 in a pub garden but not in any of their own gardens.

That 30 people who worked closely together in an office all day weren't allowed to invite each other into their own homes for even a minute.

That loved ones were barred from attending funerals.

That anyone who'd had covid and died of ANYTHING (car crash/drowned/fell off a roof/eaten by a lion etc), within 90 days was a recorded as a "covid death".

That children's playparks were apparently covid killing grounds and posed a imminent threat to life if ANYONE dared to sit on a swing.

And of course I'd like to reflect on being told that I wasn't allowed to go outside for more than an hour each day because covid was out there and would kill me but I was supposed to open all my windows to let in fresh air because if I didn't then the covid in my house would also kill me.

Oh, and I'd like to reflect on being told by a security guard in Tesco that I couldn't possibly be exempt from wearing a face mask because I "walked too fast" to be exempt.

Actually, on reflection, I've done enough reflecting.

@GovTimWalz You could have stopped this before it started.
