Think of free market capitalism. In an ideal world, where people played fair, this system would work. But it has been clearly shown that any and all abuses of a free market will be made in order to gain an “edge”.

You are clearly so naive that you think the meaning behind a vote somehow makes that vote more important.

I wish you were right, but you are not. I am a registered Republican and I have been voting Democrat, down ticket, as a protest for the last two elections because the GoP has become taken over by fundies and fascists.

Project 2025 scares the shit out of me. It should scare the living shit out of you too.

But here you are, arguing that Biden doesn’t deserve to be President because he did horribly at the debate, ignoring that Trump was 90% full of shit.

I don’t want Biden to be President either. JFC, he was a corporatist asshole 30 years ago, but at least this country has a chance to move forward with him in the oval office. If Trump gets elected, this is the fucking end of our Democracy. Do you not realize the point of project 2025?

I wish you would just shut the fuck up. The time to talk about different leadership was three fucking years ago.

I’m trying my best to change the local party but I’ve been blacklisted from every local GoP event. What the fuck are you doing, besides watering down opposition to literal fucking Nazis?

I feel like the South Park song, “Kyle’s Mom is a Bitch” should be remade into “Putin is a Bitch”.

BWAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP!

Article says Jill pulls $85k. So the rest is probably investments, which is pretty damn modest, considering their age.

He’s basically only forgiving interest or automatically forgiving debt for people who qualify and didn’t apply for existing programs. Or people who have been paying for 20 years.

Anyone who could possibly have heartache about that can fuck right off.

I owe a lot but I can afford to pay and I do not fucking care if I have to pay and some someone else gets their loan forgiven. Good for them. Should have been free in the first place.

Man, you sound like the zen I wish I could harness and feel. I really appreciate your tone and presence.

No. You don’t get frame a statement like that and then walk away from it. You said he gobbled Israel’s knob and now he has to walk back his vile statements.

And now you just doubled down on it. So tell us, how did he “gobble the knob”, and what was Bernie’s vile statement, that he is now walking back?

“…, and then saw his knob gobbling support Israel during this conflict.”

I’m not sure what you mean here. He has been opposing support of Israel for quite some time now.

I’m not sure if anybody DIDN’T support Israel immediately following Hamas’ terror attack, but Israel’s conduct quickly changed some hearts and minds.

I don’t know what his stance was at the beginning of the conflict, but I’m not going to fault him him if he was supporting the victim of a terror attack.

But he has been calling for the U.S. to stop funding Israel’s war for some time now.

Here in Texas, we can vote all blue AND Allred, at the same time.

Ooh, can I see a TV show, “based on a true story”, where a Romanian Beth Dutton just humiliates and takes land away from rich, elitist assholes, to make up this European Yellowstone?

Edit: Bonus points if they are also played by Kelly Reilly.

Uh, go back to reddit, I guess?

I agree somewhat with your post but this comment is utter nonsense. Diet has everything to do with it. Calories in, calories out is an immutable fact. The law of conservation of mass. However, not all calories are equal.

Obesity IS unhealthy. There are no two ways about it, but people just blame the individual, saying you just need to eat less, or or exercise more, are genuinely stupid.

There are many root causes. Modern diets are absolute garbage for one. Mass production of foods, fast foods, sedentary lifestyles from young ages, poor eating habits, etc… has absolutely fucked a lot of people.

Cravings can be addictions.

The body can quite literally work against itself. The brain can be so self destructive (which seems so ironic to me).

The world compounds that by creating body dysmorphia, either through transphobia, or celebrated body types that are unobtainable without great genetics and constant training (whose got time for that, do I really need a 6 pack?).

You don’t need to be fit to be beautiful, but don’t conflate that with “obesity is not unhealthy”, because it is.

Extra weight on your your hips and legs will wear them out quicker. It pushes on your lungs and makes it harder to breathe. It makes your heart work harder to pump blood throughout your body.

I know from personal experience. It was terrible.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure… these things WILL kill you.

Being a healthy weight, everything just feels better. More energy, moving around, getting up, sitting down, I go on and on.

My point is:

People are fat phobic and super fucking ignorant about it. There are.mamy causes, and sometimes people get given a really unfair dice roll, both environmentally and generically.

But obesity is still unhealthy, and if you are obese, I hope you can find something that works for you.

I used to agree with this until I got hit with PTSD.

Then I had cravings that were next to impossible to say no to.

I wouldn’t even be hungry and I’d be screaming at myself internally that I didn’t even need this, and yet I wouldn’t be able to stop.

Ultimately my therapy and medication was able to help stabilize and, almost like magic, I could say no again. My Dr said it it is literally an addiction.

People will always judge and OP is ignorant AF.

It also doesn’t help that modern diets are built on mass production and mass consumption of sugars which isn’t good for us.

This is a TERRIBLY written article.

A rate charge increase targeting solar customers is fucking horseshit.

Should they pay for infrastructure? Absolutely, but the same flat rate that all customers pay, that are tied in.

That the rate scale was passed without any real review by the elected officials is fucking egregious. Can’t even do their fucking jobs.

This was like two paragraphs into the article:

“the treaty allows fossil fuel investors to sue states for lost profit expectations in an opaque corporate arbitration system set up to protect fossil fuel investors in the former Soviet economies in the 1990s.”

Bring back the ability to dismiss individual app notifications by the app icon’s long press menu!!!

Damn man, loose lips sink ships.
