I've never been as proud of my state representatives as I was when I lived in Oregon. Wyden and Merkley are American heroes, as far as I'm concerned

It's cheap

Idk, you ever wonder who bought/read all those Killing x books that Bill O Reilly wrote?

So do most people, at least speaking for Americans. Ignoring all other context, at least this guy gives a miniscule shit about what his people think/want. That's just like basic politics

I do have to wonder if he thinks he's in more danger of losing it all than other contemporary government leaders

Ahh I get u now. Yeah, that's totally true

It's worth realizing some people do not want to be cheered up. My understanding is the misery, for lack of a better word, is more comforting to many as it reminds them of when they were young (or they emulate what they saw around them as children)

I recently learned some people never learned phonics. They were taught to just learn words based on how they look or something. Isn't that kinda fuckin crazy?

Interesting. I thought that was just in movies. lol

Ok, yeah I figured the same thing

I just learned that Rockefeller significantly improved his image by giving away the money he stole from his workers.

Maybe Amazon can just to donate half of the money they don't pay in taxes to win back most people's support - hell, maybe even less than that!

That seems kinda fucked up. Why would you do something like that?

I mean, I at least get fucking with people for money. Doing it for fun, not so much

Also, anyone know what they meant with this line?

I still loved my life so I didn't want to use the Google custom search API.

Some people simply don't know how to be good friends. You really shouldn't take it personal

I've just had to learn my closest friends simply aren't capable of providing emotional connection like I'd like. I'm working on becoming a better friend to them, meeting them where they are , trying to figure out how to provide for and validate my own emotional needs, so I can eventually work up the courage, or whatever it is I need, to meet friends that are more emotionally mature enough to have the real connections I'm looking for

I once delayed a party where I had tons of family over because my friends hadn't arrived. They didn't get there until like 10 or something, after I'd already told them to just fuck off. The thing is, they are my friends and they legit care about me in their own (weird to me) ways. I've just come to realize they've got legit issues, as I do (part of why we're drawn to being friends), that they're working on to varying degrees, and I simply can't expect more from them than they're capable of giving

Good luck finding a chill healthy tribe of folks that shares similar values to your own!

And here I thought they just wanted Israel to stop their genocide of Palestinians

Shit, I bet if they'd negotiated in good faith people would've been happy for them to just stop butchering the children. I'd personally be happy if they spares one child live for every one they choose to murder - but I'm just a bit more reasonable than most, I guess

Is transgender a spectrum?

Is cis a spectrum? or is that one extreme end

And who are the good guys?

Are you one of the good guys? Oh shit am I?

Haha. Nah, I wasn't being serious. I was making a reference to the "-typical" in the term neurotypical and thought it was funniee to point it out - like a wink wink nudge nudge thing

lol. Bad guys?

I do this and it makes me wonder. It doesn't seem normal typical but it makes a lot of sense to me

I mean, sure but Dems only really have a chance because Republicans continue to run the shuttiest candidates imaginable. That is absolutely true

Like, Obama won partly because McCain chose to run with Palin. It's not the only reason he won, but it's silly to think it wasn't a major factor - especially considering everything we know about white American voters, that's been made just as clear as it ever could be. I bet it was a tough decision for some/many Americans

I've always wished I could feel like the choice in a general election was a hard decision, but alas I'm working class and brown (and believe in science)
