I wish I would have saved it, and now I can't find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Anyone tried it yet?

In the end, he's still in a Twitter slapfight with the biggest loser of the last decade.

Biden ended pandemic protections while there's still a pandemic.

Biden gave more money to police than trump.

Biden has gotten us involved in a genocide and a proxy war, and is handling them both just about as poorly as you can.

Biden is building more border wall than trump, and the kids are still in cages.

Biden is cracking down on protests.

Everything costs.more due to bad economic policy and his mishandling of the pandemic when he got.elected.

I could.go on, but I'm sure this will all be dismissed, and I will be assured Biden is just a smol bean who can't do anything, but here's a list of all the reasons he's somehow the most effective president..

Or let me guess. Trump is worse

Sucking foreign materials into your lungs is bad? You think someone would have said something by now.

Jesus fuck! I see why people fucking hate Lemmy. Fucking nerds

I keep all useful tools. Even those crappy Allen wrench screwdrivers that come with cheap furniture.

I've met so many people who don't own a single tool, and I always try to give them my extras I've been collecting.

One of the most underrated artists!

But only if they operate a profitable small business in a disadvantaged area for two or more years

Also, RIP to Brother John Sinclair as of recently. All the heroes are going home

RIP Brother Wayne. Glad I got to see him when I did.

There won't be a Palestine for trump to destroy by November.

I was listening to the most current episode of the Trillbilly Workers Party podcast, and Terence mentioned a good point that I've never been able to articulate. He was talking about how libs chalk a lot of stuff up to "racism", which isn't wrong on its face, but he was talking about how that only gets you halfway there. There's more to the racism accusation. Some racists advocate for subjugating minorities, and others advocate for killing minorities (his example). What makes the difference? Obviously, it's what they can extract from the people they opress

It got me thinking that maybe that would be an avenue to walk libs all the way to a better point with some of their glib sayings they use on repeat.

"History will remember/judge"

History is written by the victors, and if you let them win without a fight, this is a hollow saying.

"The whole world is watching"

Really? A quarter don't care, half actively cheer it on, and the rest are people that already agree with you.

"They vote against their best interests"

Why isn't there someone presenting something to vote for that is in their interests? Nobody is listening to the grievances that are legit, left or right of center

And my favorite #resist.

What are libs on the ground actually doing to resist? They've had almost a decade to triangulate a good strategy.

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has had any luck walking people further down the path that their "Gliberalisms" have started.

Maybe it's not worth it anymore. Maybe it's just a conclusion they have to make on their own.

I'm sure I get considered rude once in a while, but I just don't acknowledge when people sneeze.

 

They were just champing at the bit for an excuse to get more racist. I can't believe the utter heel turn with their border rhetoric

/r/politics users are breaking their arms jerking themselves off over this:

I've decided I should probably reach out after suffering more than usual for almost a straight year. The things I've been working on to improve my mental health are helping a little, but it's not enough.

I'd like to hear from the community about effectiveness and cost. I don't have health insurance, so it's all out of pocket

 

I don't know why. It's just something that annoys me to read, and my go to way of getting the pressure out of my head after reading something like that is to make fun of it.

 

Sometimes I like to cruise the politics sub so I can drive by downvote libs and report them for breaking their precious civility rule, and honestly, I've gotten a decent amount of them banned for it, which is hilarious.

That is all

 

So, I've worked at my current job for around three years. I had a really good crew when I first started, and one by one, they all fell off for various reasons. My favorite coworker went and got a job at my old job (same field) and I got stuck picking up the pieces.

There are two owners. A husband and wife. They have been spending a lot of time out of state essentially on vacation and ignoring the shop. Also, my current batch of coworkers are not a good team. They're not helpful and just don't have their head in the game. I wouldn't care so much except it all falls to me to pick up the pieces when they don't pitch in.

Anyway, I took a meeting with the old place I worked at, and got a good offer. Plus, my favorite coworker from the current job works there, and I'm excited to get the dream team back together.

Why do I feel so bad about leaving? The bosses have been completely unavailable and I get no support anywhere. Hours are going down to zero and I can't afford to live.

I haven't exactly been vocal about my problems, because I've been trying to act like a leader and rally the troops

I guess I'm just looking for kind words of encouragement from internet strangers.

 

It's annoying and makes this site borderline unusable for me after reading the front page.

Thanks, I guess. I need less phone time.
