It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.
So yeah good call GOP
They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight. Their coalition isn’t going to last forever.
His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.
It’s real easy. They’re gonna have a different nurse ask you every 15 minutes for your insurance information, and if that fails, they’ll assign a social worker to sit with you and begin applying for medicaid benefits on your behalf. They will slowwww your treatment because they know you aren’t indigent and this point, you’re either crazy or playing them. They may call for a transfer to a psychiatric hospital, they’ll certainly be making moves at this point you want to avoid. They know how to get their money. Charity care isn’t just a pot you can freely dip in or we’d all be doing it.
But I like the spirit of the thing.
Heck I haven’t had this good a time on the internet in a while!
You guys, we should really do this more often
If you’re part of a movement that’s taking vaccines away from babies, well, you’re evil and people are going to respond to that.
We’re seeing that play out in Arkansas, as this year family farmers are either driven off their farms (some after 6 generations) or are committing suicide quickly. One of my friends knew a farmer that killed himself last night. They’re really thinking the feds are coming to save them, instead of forcing them off the land so it can be purchased by conglomerates.
Lumber’s getting affordable so they’ve drastically stopped cutting.
Yeah that’s insane, you are legally allowed to make any mark and it’s a signature. But cops are above the law, so
Yeah I lived a car-free life when I lived in Seattle, working on Magnolia Hill, living on Capitol Hill. That was doable year round. The midwestern flyover states I grew up and live in, tho, no it’s not workable. In the North there’s snow for months, in the South we have monsoon season where it rains for weeks, in the summer heat index gets above 110 regularly and these people don’t plant shade trees. Plus nearest grocery stores are miles away (I live downtown in a capital city).
Even though I work a few blocks from my home, I can’t live car free here without significant ride-sharing expenses (the bus system is a joke and only runs part of the day, grocery shopping would eat an entire day of my week that way), if I did that I couldn’t go on roadtrips on weekends either, unless I rented a car - and all that is more expensive than my (20k, not 40k) car.
But I do love this community and it’s coastal approach to shaming people who rely on cars… take the tram or train, lmao
Yep that demand is never coming back. Happens when you continually fling shit at a trading partner.
They will vote for him again.
Exactly, Hitler = shuts everyone’s minds down as rhetoric. Pedophile… well that’s just true and we all know it
Came out of government-funded research actually. Back when we could still achieve scientific feats on behalf of our country.
My FB feed is still littered with die-hard liberals espousing views we could afford to debate 15, 20 years ago. Pollution and gun rights. Every word they say is heard differently by the other side and they still don’t get it. Fascists are taking over the US and they want to figure out how to recycle better.
Antitoxin serum!? You gonna tell me what I should put in my kids bodies? Hell no! That’s communisocialism
Your brain generates the thoughts and feelings that trouble you. Where do you want the locus of control to be? Do you want to think this is crystals and horoscopes, outside factors, influencing you and causing you to be miserable? Or do you want the locus of control to be inside you, where you can be empowered to change the thoughts and feelings that trouble you?
It’s hard not to blame the victim when they’re also the perp, you need to focus on the “perp” part and not the “victim” part if you want to succeed here.
This is not the way life has to be. If this cartoon is you, your therapist is doing a shitty job, full stop. Find another who can actually help you develop emotional regulation and not be hostage to your own emotions.
The periodic table is predictive. From a few elements, the rest could be projected and expected, like the Higgs-Boson. The table makes no predictions for things we cannot measure and are in fact theoretical, like dark matter which lacks any empirical evidence. Would be awesome if it did because then it wouldn’t be theoretical anymore.
Look at game theory. We have 300m+ Americans operating primarily out of their own self-protection. They’re lied to about what that means. They are divided beyond repair.
3% of the US population protested in July, that wasn’t enough. What would be enough for a revolution you think? How would that go?
I can’t condemn all violence as some is actually necessary in this imperfect world.
I do dislike political violence, however I am not sure, when we’re got a fascist takeover and there are two economies and two classes emerging, maybe it’s not 100% “political violence” anymore. Having your kids not be sick and starving isn’t really political to me. Dying because of lack of healthcare, even with insurance, sinking into debt because of it, that’s not really political. You can not follow politics and still have your house repossessed or your son dead because he didn’t have insulin, sure.
In the information age of warfare, it can be so hard to miss the fact that you’re at war…
