I was taking a mental health day not too long ago and went to a local diner. My thought was I should try interacting outside my bubble to make me feel better. And it kinda worked...ish. I should've read the flags, one of which was him saying my paper was fake news, but alas.
Started talking to this old dude, apparently had a long historical knowledge of his family, which he stated family history placed their start in the 1700s. Talked about how his family took place in all the wars.
After an insane detour on how the North actually was at fault for the first shots fired, he pivoted to how Sherman burned down the family plantation. How absolutely terrible that was for his family.
Then he pivoted to talking about the KKK, and whewwww did that illuminate the absolute dichotomy of history for me. He stated that "they originally formed to protect women that were beat by their husbands." After I asked about the whole racism bit, he said it wasn't as bad as people made out.
At that point I grabbed my check and peaced out. Totally helped me get over my funk by showing just how fucking insane people's idea of history is.
I mean...dems haven't learned anything. They still are trying to say it's because they went too far left when in reality they keep pushing right trying to chase some ethereal version of a center-right Republican voter.
They need to go back to the version of themselves where they are actually a party of the working class. Instead, we're still witnessing them chasing dollars.
Got 6 chickens last year, the wife said we probably spent too much decking out their living space. I say probably, but they're more pets for me to have, the 6 eggs a day is just a nice bonus.
Smash cut to this year: suddenly my "investment" is going to be paid off much sooner 😅
The "nice" thing here is that it would actually put in the record how corrupt he is. Not that that would do much other than nock another arrow for later suits.
It's similar to how "Covid caused us to raise prices!" Sure, initially it would have, but then they saw that watermark and kept bumping it higher, all the while blaming supply chains.
Fast forward to now: Covid is "over," yet somehow all my groceries still cost much more.
Fuck the rep and all, but what is happening in this article? Spelling and grammatic issues all over the place...
