and the highest thing someone can aspire to be is a parent
Be a good parent.
Far too many out there are shit, or at best mediocre parents.
If you're going to say the church, the school, the neighbors, other family members, anyone else is who should raise your kids, you should aspire for a vasectomy.
If you aspire to just pump out kids for a number game, you missed the Dark Ages. Though a Mennonite community may be your thing.
If there is one thing I'd hoped the world learned from us in the last 9 years or so, don't bend a fucking knee to conservatives regardless of where they are. Don't excuse, try to explain away or "Sanewash" shit they do.
Don't publize them, call out that idiocy was said, show why it's idiotic, and drop it. Don't give them time to dominate the news cycle.
God damnit it's frustrating seeing others go through the shit you just tried to stop, it's like watching the cars continue to slam into a pile up on a frozen foggy highway.
While I believe organ donation should be opt out rather than opt in, I also think that it should be a strictly non-profit with severe criminal penalties for putting any dollar value on the organs.
Doctors, labs, nurses, etc all get what they normally get, but fuck the organ harvesting industry in general.
The house is almost tied. That's who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are.
218 Republicans, 213 Democrats.
Let's see, take New York for example.
26 representatives total, 19 Democrat and 7 Republican.
5 of those were within 2 points last time their seat was up.
People who think that New York is blue, their vote doesn't matter, skips the votes for the House and Senate and end up losing a Blue house seat but later complain that nothing changes are literally the fucking problem.
Let me spell it out for ya...
Every. Fucking. State. Is. Like. This.
Apathetic morons who don't realize that the president is only held accountable by the other branch of government then wave their hands around when they did jack shit to help put people in place to, are the fucking problem.
District 3 of California was lost by 24,000 votes.
District 22 was lost by 3,000.
Those two seats in the house, along with the close ones in New York, Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, hell every state... Are what makes the House of Representatives or breaks it.
So, if you think that your vote for president doesn't matter, so you skip voting and let these other seats slip, yes, you're a fucking moron who can't grasp basic concepts of government that are taught in 4th grade.
And don't get me started on the State House/Senates, how they define voting laws and voting zones and engage in gerrymandering.
Oh stop threatening and just do it you Cheeto pussy
