former U.S. President Ronald Reagan had pushed for the current student loan system in order to make it more difficult for working-class Americans to attend university as a backlash to campus protests in the 1960s and 70s.
Americas Margret Thatcher. i.e. just, the worst person.
Got stuck playing Earthworm Jim when I was a kid. Literally fell in a hole and couldn't figure out how to get him outta there. Turned it off and never went back
Won't someone rid me of this troublesome candidate?
am I doing it right, JD? Or should I say that drumpf is going to eat your pet?
Because the NRA and republicans, silly billy. Can't let any sort of gun regulation pass, gotta get those corporate kickbacks from weapons manufacturers somehow!
Well it was only for a day, they thought they could intimidate me out of supporting the candidate I preferred. They are not perfect, but I still value a relationship with them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Was playing DOTA 2 a while back, ended up playing against a 5 man team that included an account named "DannyMasterson." I asked if it was really him, and someone on his team gave a semi-answer like "it just might be ๐ "
So I targeted his hero, and did a lot of all chat messages about how he was a POS rapist that's going to prison, and how scientology is a cult of predators. I just know that it was actually him, and he was with 4 other scientology cunts. We demolished'em. Never saw his handle again.
I've been dealing with this for a while now. Family kicked me out of the house for supporting Bernie Sanders at one point. It sucks, because I love them very much, but they're Racist with a capital R and die-hard republicans who worship drumpf. Every time we talked they would bait me with their BS, and even when we're NOT talking about politics, it seems every gap in conversation is punctuated with all the vile things they're trying not to say.
My therapist had some great advice. Said that if I value a relationship with them, then the price for having that relationship is never discussing politics.
I'm willing to pay that price, so I told them not to bring it up anymore, and I'll do the same. It's working for the most part, though that doesn't stop other issues from coming up. But hey, that's life! Wouldn't be relatives if they didn't frustrate you endlessly, I guess?
What's the tattoo? I'm glad you were able to yeet that fucker out of ya ๐
Nobody but republicans are voting for genocide. Everyone with a conscious and brain are voting for the lesser of two evils because that's the only choice we have. You're inflammatory BS does nothing but make you seem more fringe, less thoughtful, and therefore easier to ignore.
This was posted to Lemmy yesterday, I watched it, and it's relevance just keeps relevancing!
Cues up "What New PussyCat?" by Tom Jones
......
BWAH BWAH BWAH BWAH
WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT
WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH
This past Saturday I drove 9 hours (one way) to confront and yell at the family rapist.
Had him and the rest of my family texting and calling frantically, telling me not to. That I was destroying the family, that I'd never see my cousins again, that I'd be arrested, that there would be a sheriffs deputy waiting to take me to jail if I showed up at the pedophiles house.
But on the way up I just happened to listen to an NPR story about the murders in Castle Rock Colorado and how police refused to enforce a restraining order that resulted in the murder of three children, and then the subsequent trial that ended up with the supreme court saying that "cops have no duty to enforce a restraining order." and then the story of Joe Lozito, the subway hero who sued the police dept. for failing to protect him and his fellow passengers from a knife-wielding spree killer they were on that train, specifically to look for. That case resulted in the supreme court saying that "the police have no duty to protect you."
So with that information, I decided that it was unlikely that 1. a pedophile rapist would call the police for help because his victim was coming to yell at him, and 2. that a cop, even if called, would show up at all.
I yelled at that bitch while he sat in his mansion for 20 minutes at the top of my lungs. His new neighbors must have some thoughts ๐
