    Grossly oversimplifying how the Democrats SQUASH real progressives and bring watered down meager “progress.” Despite the fact survey after survey will show the vast majority of the country wants significant progressive change or at least agrees with the ideas, like right to abortion or gun control measures, or expanded healthcare.

    They lost multiple times in the last decade by forcing candidates the majority clearly did not want, but settled for. They forced Biden back into the picture, and Biden was unwilling to do anything serious or drastic while he had the reigns.

    They toss out ideas cranked up to 4 instead of 10, get challenged, and then throw up their hands like they’re all out of options while the other side destroys the place with them.

    Look at Schumers actions last month with the Continuing Resolution. Pathetic weasel.

    Yes. The literal Nazi is the worst. But that doesn’t make the democrats actions okay. The democrats have been the enablers who allowed it to get this far with the Nazis. Together, both parties are doing everything they can to control the narrative and not let it get out of their hands.

    Learn to walk and chew gum at the same time. Anger does not need to have a binary limit.




  • Simply being family doesn’t mean you get to remain in my life. Cut off anyone who is toxic or otherwise not good for your life and health. This includes parents.

    After a decade it is still surprising to me how many people seem appalled by my no contact situation. I’m sorry, but I’ve wasted enough of my life on them and wishing for a fantasy dynamic that will never exist.

    “But they’re your blood…”

    So what.

    “But they’re your family…”

    No they’re not. I made new family.

    Some people have really judged me for this decision. I judge others as they complain about their toxic families they never do anything about.




  • Fuck all tipping. Fuck unclear prices. Fuck variable service.

    Put clear prices. Expect consistent service. Pay fair wages.

    If it’s about low pay. Why not expect businesses to pay fair liveable wages like every other industry?

    If it’s about quality of service. Why do you not expect good service every time? Why do you not also tip your doctor for good service or the construction workers who ensured the roads are good for you to use?

    Idiotic inconsistencies and morons everywhere defending it. Only in recent years are people finally taking notice, but 10 years ago oh I’m an asshole for suggesting tipping should be banned in favor of consistency, clear prices, and fair wages.
