Not just the media class. Lib friends on social media and chuds in family were losing their minds. Said lib friends were a lot calmer during the Capitol riot. Weird how that works...

Don't forget also shutting down the NBA strike!

Pay was explicit, how much was not. But I was told there would be pay until today.

I get that but I was directly told there would be money. Now I am being told there is none. What's the play here?

No you're fine, I meant when I saw this in an actual bookstore before this post.

You know just the title of this book hooked me. I thought it would be an actual history about left-wing movements in America. Then as soon as I saw 'Joe Biden' in the summary I stopped reading.

As far as I understand it, Cuba is being accused of genocide for... not doing enough to stop COVID? Which coming from America is fucking rich. EDIT: I genuinely do not know what is happening in Cuba right now. This is just what I gather from online conversations.

Should mention this girl has had the weirdest life trajectory. We grew up in the same metro area, she went to a super toxic private school, we went to college together where she basically acted like the villain in 'nice guy' fantasies , she dropped out to move to Alaska to become a marine biologist, then quit that and became a housewife in rural Idaho.

During all of this she would post genuinely the strangest takes/conspiracy theories I have ever heard.

So did he get better after he sobered up ?

Recently Snyder said he was abandoning The Fountainhead movie because of the current political climate. We did it!

I really just don't think she understands economics in general (funny because my dad got his degree in economics). During that week we all thought Bernie was going to win it all (RIP) she was petrified that her taxes were going to increase by 67% and her house would be seized. I have no idea where she got that from but here we are.

Believe me I am learning that now. Deprogramming patterns from my childhood is hard you know? I'm trying.

Thank you. Sometimes I really fear if I will ever be able to come up from under it. It took me so long just to realize my parents might not actually be great people. Feel like I missed opportunities to fully escape and never look back.

Even his proposed tax hike (which likely won't happen) wouldn't affect her. And ever since she became an empty-nester she just latches on to our increasingly chudish relatives and the spiral accelerates (she has few non-familial friends she only rarely sees even before COVID). I feel like kind of a sucker for listening to her for so long but I was taking advice from an increasingly unstable woman. And I feel like I got fucked myself in the process.

Who is this for exactly? If Warren had an large enough audience to justify this she wouldn't have come in third place in her own state. I know we all love dumping on the Khive but the 'Warren Democrats' make no sense to me.

If nothing else it's nice to talk to someone who at least confirms I'm not crazy. Or at least helps me work through more personal issues.

Not really. Still all overwhelmingly white, just some have higher populations of lower income people (of every persuasion).

I think my brother at least truly believes that Futurama joke about poverty being a mental illness that needs to be quarantined.

Wait until you hear about people in nice suburbs fearing the 'bad' suburbs.

I work at a school in a pretty nice suburb. I have a second job and one of my coworkers (who went to a school in a slightly more advantaged area) said with all seriousness 'sorry you work in a crack school Squid.'

Meanwhile when I was in school my older brother feared the 'rougher' parts of the neighborhood surrounding our high school, which was also a suburb.

I really don't understand how some people live.

'a conservative family member who “Would vote Donald Trump, but he seemed too jewish”'

Holy shit my dad didn't vote for Trump because he thought Trump was a 'new money Jew.' Are you telling me there is in fact someone as dumb as him out there?

Okay that actually made me laugh. Thanks!
