I'm just glad it wasn't the person I know! What's up with deadbeat dads thinking they don't owe child support?
So what I'm hearing is there are no downsides...
Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we'd all be better off.
I remember very well. We also went from investing in fibre internet to calling the first female PM a witch.
Australia is basically Tatooine at this point, ruled over by mining industry titans like Gina the Hutt. Supported by creepy private school kids in board rooms.
I haven't spoken to my dad since the pandemic when he rode the anti vaxxer bandwagon. He was also deeply into Trump, Putin and all that 5G spreading COVID conspiracy shit. At the time my spouse worked in hospitality and we were on the edge of our seats every day wondering if some douchebag customer would give us COVID. Eventually that's exactly what happened but of course that didn't matter to dad. I'm so tired of this extremist right wing ideology being normalised as a type of conservative - doesn't seem very family oriented to me when you beat your wife and alienate your traumatised adult kids.
It took me going to that site to realise this was satire. I just figured for RFK JNR this headline made perfect sense.
All that matters is the sponsorship tier - will you be flying the judge out to a vacation? Buying their mother a house? The outcome is solely dependent on your investment in the court. Justice.
No sane court? So it has a real chance of being decided by The Supreme Court...
It kinda looks like Kathy Bates with a bunch of Beyonce clones...
Good. Fuck Putin.
I've always found it weird how obsessed with gay sex they are. I'm a gay man but I don't think about gay sex as often as the average conservative. Weird.
You gotta think of it from the POV of a grown adult with the mind of a child..
One is a work tool and for men, the other one a toy and for little boys.
Every fucking conservative I've ever seen. I might be an atheist, but I remember what being a Christian was supposed to be about!
It's about coming for whatever she's doing and being as harsh about it regardless of truth or context. They love a good misogynistic pile on.
You can get merch with this meme on RedBubble, Amazon, Etsy and more :D
Its the alien vents that lead back to the Primary Containment Facility.
It feels like no matter where I turn some septuagenarian, or older, is making life miserable for myself and others. Usually these are older white Christian conservatives, obsessed with a delusional sense of reality that no longer has a basis in fact, or perhaps never did.
There is a disproportionate amount of wealth concentrated in the older generation and those who will inherit it will probably be even worse with that money than the last generation. Certainly we see evidence of that already, anyone in their 30's who has parents who help them out VS those who don't have that have radically different outcomes. For some reason those lucky enough to come from good families ascribe laziness and bad attitude to those who don't have the family support, as if they are somehow enjoying "self made success" while mummy does their laundry for them.
No generation previous needed this kind of assistance well into adulthood, but this infantilisation of working adults has happened because of the hoarding of wealth, refusing to pass on the torch in workplaces and just blocking change for the sake of stoking petty politics. Most of us will never own our own home but all the politicians want to talk about is whether it's OK to dehumanise trans people or not.
I'm 36 this year. For most of my teens I thought there'd be some kind of tipping point where the conservative boomers would fuck off or at least let the next generation step in, but that hasn't happened. Back in the 1990's you could be a girl and wear jeans and be empowered, now this is considered some kind of woke statement. As if we recently invented this idea of women and men being equal.
The faces of my two dogs, my cat and my husband are all that keep me going. Knowing they need me gives me just enough to get out of bed in the morning and start moving... but I'm struggling to do even that without having a breakdown. My husband and I have medical expenses we can't afford and are borrowing money to survive right now. I run my own business and just feel this immense pressure on my shoulders, that again is compounded by how unfair the world is right now.
Anyone got any advice for coping with this late stage capitalist hellscape?
