That’s not the thing that surprises me anymore. I’ve now long been convinced that 45 out of every 100 Americans are enormous sacks of shit, always have been, and always will be. Even if you say, well at least 1 of those 45 will finally kick the bucket, an indoctrinated child will just take their place.

The thing that surprises me is that these articles keep coming out trying to show this off and say “look, he keeps losing support from all of his terrible policies, you’re not alone in thinking this is insanity.”

But that 45% has not changed in the last FIVE YEARS. This isn’t news anymore, and it hasn’t been for a very long time. Who at NBC thinks this is convincing or comforting to anyone, at least anyone who gets their news from NBC? That’s what surprises me, how slow and how unconvincing the media has been acting for the last 10 years.

Thank you for being a regularly positive user. Seriously, it’s hard enough to find some appreciation these days, may as well show my own. :)

Wow that was a lot of bullshit I’m not gonna read. Hope you spent a lot of your precious time on earth to write it.

Good for you.

I mean I enjoy CS2 as well but I can’t deny it had pretty major performance problems. It’s gotten better over time but launch day was a disaster.

I don’t read my replies

This waste of space owes existence itself an apology.

That design also enables a low-cost approach to manufacturing that has caught the eye of major investors, reportedly including Jeff Bezos. It’s been engineered and will be manufactured in America, but is this extreme simplification too much for American consumers?

I’m more worried about the cheapness and corner cutting.

I’m extremely surprised that so many comments like FC5. What makes it the favorite over FC3? I know everyone loves to compare the villains of the franchise, and I think Vaas is far more compelling than the FC5 villain.

only a dozen huh

Man I was gonna add a whole part about Cletus the trailer trash calling ICE to deport an American citizen, thinking he’ll somehow be able to seize OP’s home and squat in it, without understanding how civil forfeiture works. But I left it out because I felt like I had gone on long enough. But yeah, what you described is basically exactly what I expect to happen in 4-6 months.

One of the articles sourced by Snopes is this NYT article, which I think highlights one of the major problems with teaching:

Across all school subjects, teachers receive a pale imitation of the preparation, support and tools they need. … the overall picture is of a profession struggling to make the best of an impossible hand.

And across all subjects, the neglect shows in students’ work. In addition to misunderstanding math, American students also, on average, write weakly, read poorly, think unscientifically and grasp history only superficially.

Teachers almost universally bear the brunt of a toxic society from all sides. Children with poor behavior, Parents who promote it, Administrators who ignore it, and almost everyone incentivized by shit laws like No Child Left Behind to keep skating those kids through every step of the way - find any excuse to pass the problem child on to the next year, conjure any reason to get Brad that sports scholarship even though he can’t multiply fractions.

Our entire society has venerated ignorance for half a century, and we’ve become exceedingly efficient at it. Few places are as protective and proud of their bad reputation as the USA.

He is when it suits them, he isn’t when it doesn’t. $4 for eggs was too expensive under Biden, so Trump brought the price down to $11. We can’t catch them with cognitive dissonance, they have none.

They are looking for every possible way to take that away from you.

You have a 401k? They’re crashing the stock market to make you dependent on your job for longer.

You have a mortgage? Maybe you already paid off your house? Crash the housing market to send your mortgage underwater or decimate your nest egg.

Do you plan on relying on medicare for healthcare when you’re old and retired? I hope not. That’s next.

Maybe you can afford private healthcare? Destroy the CDC and the FDA to make sure you get sick from preventable diseases, so that you need to pay more for that healthcare.

Whatever net worth you think you have, Trump, Musk, and MAGA will take it. You’re just a pocketbook to them.

The implication is intentional. They still think Biden stole the election and that Trump is the rightful 46th Pres. It doesn’t even matter if you use that logic to say Trump’s 2024 campaign was illegal. Or that his plan for 2028 is also illegal. They want it all.

When he dies, I hope they at least do me the courtesy of marking the ditch they dump his body in so I know where to piss.

Yeah you’re fine :)

Careful, the Catholics are by no means a homogenous group either. There’s the whole “Trad Cath” thing going on.

Small mention in Folding Ideas’ Geocentrists video

And soon you may ban books and newspapers, and turn Catholics against Protestants, and Protestants against Protestants, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other, because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding.
