If ever there was a case for "more guns = more freedom", right?

I'll remind my daughter next time she calls me having a panic attack during an active shooter lockdown that at least she still has the right to love who she wants make her own reproductive healthcare choices get IVF if she can't have kids be open and honest about who she is

You used the wrong hand dude...try again with the other...it should work.

They fired 12 employees of a workforce numbering over 216,000. Looks like they fired 1000x more employees (literally...12000) last year just because "that's business." What a nothingburger.

Love me some...grapefruit pizza?

I hear that when these things happen, it's like Jesus spanking you for being naughty...someone must have said a gay word or something.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have the same fake man and in the sky. They're fighting over who his message boys were...but that really isn't very relevant in the current situation.

Started on Friday... still coming in waves. I had a breakdown a few weeks ago... just pushed myself too hard for too long...it was probably building up for at least a year. Went to the VA (veterans affairs, for those not in the US, the VA is the sole source of health care for many veterans in the US), and they started making adjustments to my anxiety and depression medications which eventually precipitated into a ER visit. A few days later, they got me hooked up with the mental health clinic where I talked to a provider about going on short-term disability while we're messing with my medication doses until I feel normal again. He says something along the lines "sounds like a good plan, sned me the paperwork."

Queue up to Friday, I get a call from the insurance company saying they got the paperwork from the provider, and it recommends I go back to work. Now I'm out of PTO, disability is denied, and I'm trying to decide whether I lose my job or go back to work on while tettering between "extreme anxiety" and "drug-induced haze" from all the new prescriptions.

I'm almost certain they've all decided Jesus was a loser and decided to root for Barabbas instead.

Sometimes, you just wanna punch yourself in the dick. It won't fix your problems, but it'll make em feel less important for a few minutes.

My understanding is most odd us do have these patterns, we just can't see them.

1 hour of testimony in a simple divorce proceeding for a blue-collar worker is the result of dozens or hundreds of hours of working with the attorney on documentation and preparation. I imagine it would be an order of magnitude more work if it's the POTUS suing for defamation. It also feeds into the "both sides" narrative to see Biden sitting in a courtroom, same as Trump. It doesn't matter that Biden's not the defendant, and it doesn't matter that it's a civil matter instead of a criminal one because the footage of Biden in a courtroom is more than enough to sell that story to the sycophants.

A faulty sensor...A faulty senso responsibility, amirite?

I'm not smart enough regarding macroeconomics to know the right answer, but I feel like there has to be a solution that makes home ownership affordable for new entrants into the market without causing the value of existing homes to tank so hard and fast that we end up with a 2008-style crash again. I'm pretty confident that getting large-scale corporate investment out of the picture is part of the solution, and I don't care if the method involved there hurts the corpos pretty bad. Maybe an oppressive rent-control scheme that makes keeping the properties untenable for corporate owners, forcing them to want to sell as fast (and therefore as cheaply) as they can. I don't know what zoning laws are like in Canada (compared to here in the US), but I think merging zoning for low- and mid-density residential such that suburban NIMBYs can't block multi-family units from being build is another necessary step. As far as everyday folks who bought into the housing system, I'd like to see them as protected from the fallout as possible, especially since (at least the US) government has been all-too-happy to let home ownership replace pensions as the primary way people are "supposed" to retire.

Sometimes, it's the crime ,and* the cover-up

That's...not what gills are for.

Just like healthcare...there are very few cases where replacing a societal motivation with a profit motivation results in better service or lower costs.

There's a pretty big gap "making it on the news to raise awareness for your cause" and "mastabatory shitposting on social media"

dude isn't sneaking video evidence of wrongdoing out of a factory farm... just photoshopping bad dentures on sharks.

I agree that any movement needs both friendly and provocative advocacy to affect change, but the only thing these types of posts accomplish is helping OP feel superior.
