None. A very long time before any of this started going down, both my sister and myself informed my parents that neither of us were having children and that this particular line stops here.
Not because of any trauma (that I can remember). But we’ve both seen the state of the world and decided, with our respective partners, that forcing children into this shit-show is unconscionable.
I feel like even though there were probably instances of it before this, the “Yippee-ki-yay, Mr. Falcon” is kind of the OG, because it’s the first one I remember to become well-known on this new thing called “the internet”.
I don’t disagree. But despite my best efforts, I have friends who insist on sharing crap from there with me and while I used to be able to view in browser without having an account or logging in, they changed it so that to watch something someone shared, it just pops up a “view on the app” message.
TikTok is only bearable if you set it to open muted by default.
From what I understand, Musk was under investigation from multiple federal US agencies for malfeasance, I don’t know for what
I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “e” and rhymes with “Epstein didn’t kill himself”…
This is their response to realizing that Trump’s tariffs could cause them to lose the house and the senate for 60 years.
Their response isn’t to maybe reflect on their behaviour and maybe stand up to the orange twat. But instead their response is to make sure that the Judiciary doesn’t have the power to stop him and therefore prevent them ever getting voted out.
“Yeah, about your pamphlet…I’m not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945.”
“Everyone was on vacation.”
“What are you talking about, Germany invaded Poland in 1939.”
“We were invited! Punch was served. Check with Poland!”
“You can’t just ignore those years! Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism’s stranglehold on Germany!”
“Nope…He left to manage a Dairy Queen!”
“A Dairy Queen? That’s preposterous!”
“I will hear NO MORE insinuations about the German people. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!”
Now all of these people converge on Mar-a-Lago and burn it to the ground. Preferably with Trump and Musk inside.
I often make things like pancakes, or fried eggs with bacon for supper/dinner. My ex wife would look at me like I was crazy.
But I just asked her, what makes a breakfast food a “breakfast” food other than social convention? Eat whatever you want whenever you want. It’s quite literally in the who cares category of let people live their lives.
I doubt they even know, or care, where he is anymore.
Once they got him off that plane and into that prison, they stopped keeping track.
“Absolute truth no matter what” people are freakin exhausting.
They also don’t exist outside of their own inflated egos.
It’s almost comically easy to catch one of these “I always tell the truth” people in their hypocrisy.
Yes.
Anyone who says otherwise is (ironically) lying.
That’s why privacy laws are so important and why the old “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you shouldn’t care about your data being collected by literally everyone” argument is bullshit. Because it’s not about breaking the law, or lying about some big secret. It’s about presenting to the world the you that you want to present to the world.
The most basic fundamental right is to be seen as we want to be seen.
Everyone…and I mean EVERYONE…has something that, if it were public, would change the way that others look at them. Maybe for the good, maybe for the worse. It doesn’t matter. It could be that you’re into midget porn. It could be that you anonymously donate a quarter of your paycheque to charity and you want it to remain anonymous for whatever reason. The point is, THAT IS YOUR RIGHT to keep that to yourself.
We get to show the world who we want them to see, either good or bad. And we all do it.
So yes, to circle back around. Anyone who says that they don’t actively have any lies is lying.
True. But I’m going to give America some credit here. When they came in, they came in hard. Two of the hardest beaches in Normandy with the highest losses of any allied force during the landings. Front line in pretty much every major engagement from the moment they entered. I am anti-american in general, and no…I don’t think Germany would have won if they hadn’t gotten involved (the soviets bought our victory at the cost of 11,000,000 casualties…)
They committed more troops than any other country except the soviet union and germany itself. I’ll criticise a LOT of what the United States has become, but I would never ever in a million years claim that they had “barely taken any damage”, and in fact kind of take offence to the statement even though I’m not American.
I could see Oregon and Washington State throwing in with Cali, giving all of them a direct line to nice fresh Canadian Rocky BC Springs because we up here in Canada would be an instant ally of any states that broke off.
And the U.S. got all the money to build up their industrial base by the fact that they were they only country able to give out loans to the European nations fighting in the First World War since every european country spent everything they had and then some fighting each other.
World War One represented the largest transfer of wealth in the history of the world. It was bigger than the economic exploitation by the British Empire of Africa, India and Asia combined. In four years, the U.S. basically held all the cards and (I know this is controversial) only ended up getting involved militarily when it seemed possible that the allies would lose and therefore be unable to pay off their loans.
And you know what…all credit to the Americans; they took that new found wealth and built up the strongest, most powerful industrial base the world had ever seen; an industrial base that, without which, the second world war would have been nearly impossible to win (Russian blood, British Strategy, American Industry…isn’t that the saying?)
It’s what they proceeded to do with that industrial base afterwards that lead us to where we are now.
The fact that McHitler hasn’t stroked out by now is all the proof I really need to say that there is no god directing all this shit.
What the fuck did the idiot THINK was going to happen?
Definitely uncut. All the extra shit they can add to it just dilutes the high.
His Big Mac was served cold on Monday.
A daughter who, although a terrible terrible human being in her own right, at least had the brains to stay well away from his bullshit and keep her head down this time around.
Don’t know where she is, and I don’t particularly wish her well or wish her ill. I’m just glad we don’t have to hear about her and I’m glad that wherever she is, she’s staying out of her father’s shit show this time. It’s better for us, and I’m sure it’s better for her mental health.
