we bag on the boomers a lot, but they dealt with their mid-life crisis in a good and normal way (buying a red sports car and having an affair with their secretary) whereas Gen X is all "maybe this next genocide will finally make them bring back the square spongebread cafeteria pizza"
Doesn’t the President salute the military? He’s commander-in-chief.
Statler passed in 2021 but his video has been seen millions of times.

I wish there was a sports team I was rivals with call the Oklahoma Miners because then I could call them the Jokelahoma Whiners and get my ass kicked at Reggie’s Bar + Kitchen (a place that would also have to exist) and take after-photos for my Instagram story
Sure. Just don’t be mad when people don’t realize that subtext.
But you see how that statement feels like a big middle finger to people who are trying to reduce harm, right?
Being anti-Newsom no matter what means “you better find another candidate.”
It also means “I hope you enjoy 4 years of fascism because I would rather see the country burn than vote.”
Why do you think I wouldn’t experience discomfort? You don’t know me.
Neat.
Did you see the prompt? We are talking about hypothetical future.
I don’t want Newsom to be the candidate.
I’m also not an idiot.
You are concerned about your own health and safety, as are we all. But at the end of the day, if voting for a certain shitty politician helps keep your neighbor safe at your own expense, isn’t your perspective selfish? “I can’t have rights, so no one can.”
Would Renee Good be dead if those staunch anti-zionists had just bitten the bullet and voted for Harris?
Somali people and other immigrants were just terrorized by ICE in Minneapolis and elsewhere.
Harris was a bad choice for Palestine, sure, but that wouldn’t have happened under her. Somalis would have been saved, but people like you refused to be “complicit in genocide” and here we are.
There are 3 choices:
1. Vote for the better candidate at the expense of your and/or others’ rights.
2. Vote for the worse candidate at the expense of more of your and others’ rights.
3. Don’t vote and risk option 2 from happening anyway.
What is your solution?
sometimes - most of the time, actually - that isn’t the person on the ballot, and the only option at that point is to pick the BETTER candidate.
You’re choosing to walk everywhere because the two different cars you could pick from weren’t the right color.
Is your argument that we are better off now than we would have been under Clinton or Harris? Because that’s what I think of when I see arguments like this. I would love to have the best candidate in office and I will do everything I can to get that person on the ballot, but
To be clear: fuck Gavin Newsom and we need to make sure he doesn’t end up on the ballot. But if your argument is that a Newsom presidency would be INDISTINGUISHABLE from, say, a Vance presidency, you need to get your head checked.
IF Hitler gets resurrected using blood from a mosquito like Jurassic Park
AND decides to run for office
THEN I will be voting for Gavin Newsom because
SERIOUSLY what the fuck?
Pack it up, the American experiment has failed.
You were right.
“Straight of Homzuh.”
I gotta stop waking up and immediately reading the news. It is not helpful for my brain 😭
Dear Humans,
Stop blaming me for all your bullshit. I don’t even exist. Grow up.
Clearly an accident not worth an arrest. Are you going to sue for your medical expenses? Come on.
How about you just devote some federal resources to help one of the states in your union combat fraud, you fascists?
Shit, let me go find Michael B. Jordan's phone number, hold on. I'm sure that's easy to find.
SC Justice Alito shouted "you lie" at Obama. Marjorie Taylor Greene yelled "liar" at Biden. Boebert and MTG heckled Biden in 2023. Did we all just forget the past disrespect shown by Republicans? And Dems didn't stand? Fuck this fucking guy.
Exactly. I don't have the answers about how we properly integrate people with involuntary tics that ARE offensive and harmful and keep everything copacetic, but demanding that disabled people constantly apologize for their involuntary behavior feels like others' needs are more important.
I suggest you read up on coprolalia. The entire point of the disorder is that you say an inappropriate/taboo word based on the situation you’re in. It isn’t totally random swears, it is calling your mom a bitch every time you see her.
I have found that Costco is often a good deal, and the only reason I don't buy EVERYTHING there is because I can often get an equal or better deal using my wife's employee discount at the store where she works. The savings I've gotten by buying gas alone pays for the membership.
