What word do you prefer to use to describe people who hoard more wealth than they or their children can spend in a lifetime while the vast majority of workers are on the edge of financial ruin? Why can't they be satisfied with just having one mega yacht? One giant mansion? If not "greed" what do you call it?

This was literally my husband's objection to getting medicated 😂 It helped his anxiety, then he didn't have the anxiety to get stuff done, so he thought he should just not be medicated cuz he was terrified he wouldn't have the ability anymore without the anxiety.

Lucky for him I went through the same thing with my meds, but my answer was, "Use the medication to build good habits." Which is the great wisdom I passed on to him (which I probably picked up from lurking ADHD spaces before my (and his) diagnosis).

Man, I hope I live to see the day that these greedy bastards lose a huge chunk of their business to free filing via the IRS. They've been fighting to keep tax paying citizens from getting what they want from their government for years. It's gross.

I want to see this free filing happen both for the good it'll do and because I want to see Intuit's stock plummet. Fuck Intuit.

"It'S gOiNg tO HuRt bLaCk pEoPle" fuck off you dirty liars.

You're absolutely right, all this old timer "Kids these days are so soft..." B. S. When in reality the young just don't wanna die or be maimed at 30.

Take care of your bodies, kids, it's the only one you get. Don't let corporations run you into the ground and then throw you in the trash. We need to demand better working conditions from our bosses and our elected officials.

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’"

Trump said, addressing a group of police officers.

Generally I'm with you, but if Trump gets a little roughed up I won't cry too hard.

What do you do? As a parent what do you fucking do? How do you protect your kids from this?? What are we supposed to do? Tell them not to leave the house??

I'm in fucking tears, both for this little girl and her family and friends, and because I literally do not know how to protect my daughter from this.

Stand over outdoor playtime with a gun? Trauma Refuse to let kids play outside anymore? Trauma

My kid has already been shooting adjacent once in her life, and that list of kids grows and grows every year. Kids shot, kids siblings shot, kids friends shot, kids on lockdown because there's a shooting in the school, near the school, shootings in Walmarts, now they can't play in their front yards or ring the wrong doorbell by mistake.

The fuck, you guys? Thanks for listening so I could get that out of my system before my kid sees my face.

I bet that sounded cooler in your head.

Some people read what they wrote before they post it, you know, to make sure it makes sense and whatnot. But not you, you know a cool statement when you think it! No need to worry about little things like no one asking a god they don't believe in to do jack. I mean, that's kind of the whole point, that god won't do anything to stop a rape. So what's the point in asking?

I don't get it?

The OP was expressing how awkward sex would be with him being majorly attracted to boobs while the trans guy hates their boobs.

I don't think he literally meant he'd SAY THAT, especially on purpose.

Mostly I think he was saying it wouldn't be the best idea for him to date a trans man cuz he's not into dudes. He was just trying to be funny and paint a picture of awkwardness to explain why.

That's my reading of it, anyway.

ProPublica was able to determine that a vast majority of the challenges since SB 202 became law — about 89,000 of 100,000 — were submitted by just six right-wing activists...

Imagine having that much time on your hands... And I get that voting integrity is important, and mayyybe these 6 people actually believe they're protecting that, but with these numbers its gotta just be fishing and targeting people based on demographics, not evidence.

A spreadsheet attached to the email identified 13 people allegedly registered to vote at P.O. boxes in Forsyth County... Georgians are supposed to register at residential addresses, except in special circumstances. “Please consider this my request that a hearing be held to determine these voters’ eligibility to vote,” wrote the challenger...

For instance, it specifically says, "except in special circumstances", how does this dude know these 13 people didn't have special circumstances??

I know voter registration fuckery is the point, but how did they not provide rules regarding what constitutes evidence?? ... Well I guess I answered my own question at the beginning, but it's so frustrating.

How is that any of the airlines business?? Kid bought a ticket. He has no obligation to use the full ride. I hope he/his family sues and I hope they win.

It's okay to criticize your party. You can vote for the lesser evil while still calling out the "evil" in the party you voted for. Hell I'd say it's pretty important to be willing to hold ones leaders feet to the fire.

But it doesn't mean everyone who is critical is voting Republican.

The "mental illness" is that pregnancy is dangerous. Quite literally life threatening. Quite literally can do permanent damage to everything from your teeth to your heart, to giving you diabetes. Children are entire people, they are not pets that you casually collect. They are people who should be brought into our world with care, with desire, with love, with planning. This country has horrible access to medical care, shits expensive AF, who's paying for that? All of those things should be taken on willingly. Not via failed birth control in a country that refuses to educate our young people on safe sex.

The "mental illness" is that no one, not a born child, not a fetus, has the right to my body parts without my on-going consent. As soon as I withdraw my consent it is over. Whether that's a life saving blood draw for my sick, already born child or continuing to incubate a fetus. I have the right to withdraw my consent to the use of my body. A fetus does not have more rights to my body than I do. It's mine.

If wanting to have the right to control what happens to my personal body is "mental illness" then I happily claim it. You're free to give up your body for someone else if you'd like. But you cannot have mine without my on-going consent.

I'm aware that I'm feeding the troll, and I'm not interested in your answer. My reply isn't for you. It's for anyone still on the fence about this issue. To me it's quite simple: No one has the right to my body but me. Even if that will kill the other person. That's settled law for every other circumstance besides pregnant women, who apparently lose their rights to their own body if a fetus attaches.
