  • Please stay around. We'll need good people for whatever comes. If you end it, nothing good comes from it. If you hang on, and help like-minded people through the storm ahead, then at least some good may come.

    Your girlfriend will surely miss you. Please don't do anything rash.

  • As an American who voted against him to save democracy here, I can't even sleep. If it wasn't for my girlfriend and my family I would have probably killed myself tonight. Dark days ahead, of a scale I can't even imagine. The worst part is the feeling of betrayal by my countrymen. I don't belong here anymore, but I can't leave those I love.

  • Yes! Tax the churches. There's no reason for the Mormon church to have so many investment assets. You want to talk about BlackRock buying up houses? What about the Mormon church, tax free? What about artifacts, artwork? It's fucking criminal.

  • I'm Gen Z. I have never been polled. I've asked probably close to 20 of my other Gen Z friends if they've ever been polled. Literally none of them had been, even the ones in swing states.

    From that, I gather Gen Z is massively underreported in polls. Good news is, it seems like at least 3/4 of us, if not more, are very left.

  • Yeah, that's fair. Especially in somewhere like California.

    But yes, it's absolutely wild. Just yesterday, in a very blue state, there was an army of Trumpers blocking like 3 intersections in their lifted trucks with Trump flags. They were screaming at everyone stuck watching the charade. It's gotten, like you said, psychotic.

  • You're right. Tactical is the more common name. I see them listed both ways. But yeah, you can get those cheap as hell. While not beginner friendly, they'll do the job if the biggest concern is cost.

    And that's true, but I think it's important to note that Trump is a symptom, not the disease itself. The disease is his base, and the corruption of their belief in democracy. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like we'll see this level of politics for a while more.

    But good on you for doing the footwork! And thanks for linking those instances!

  • Met my current partner at work. The funny part is I had given up completely, after going on dates with enough people, but just not really connecting with any. My previous relationship was haunting me, and I carried a lot of damage from it. I just couldn't overcome it, so, I gave up. Then, out of nowhere, this gorgeous, kind, bubbly, and incredibly intelligent girl just showed up in an IT orientation I was leading. We started talking eventually, and we've been together for 2 amazing years. I know it's cliché, but sometimes you find what you're looking for precisely when you're not looking.

    Before that I dated on apps, and I can confirm it was hell. It's probably changed in the 3 odd years I was using them, but Bumble was by far the best app, at least in my area. On that app, it felt a lot more meaningful than Tinder or Hinge.

    How has your dating life been, OP?

  • It's terrifying. If you're in a position to, and don't already have one, I'm encouraging everyone on the left to get a decent gun. Cheapest option is an assault 12 gauge. These people are full on, insane fascists. Their "day of retribution" will be a lot harder to impossible if we're armed.
