I personally believe that oppositional defiant disorder is so prevalent it’s basically a personality type for half the US population.

Not much gets to me, but this shit is fucked up. I bet the people who work on these have horrible nightmares.

A dollar, a hundred thousand dollars, these are just rounding errors compared to $250 million.

To be fair, “resending” isn’t going to trigger a red squiggly. That word choice does indicate a fundamental lack of knowledge and reflection on the part of the author though. Rescinding and resending aren’t quite antonyms but for fuck’s sake the author should be expected to be at minimum competent with the language.

Even these numbers are fucking infuriating. The IRS creates a way to file your taxes for free instead of paying a company for the privilege - 61% approve. What the fuck is wrong with people who would disapprove of that?

For what it’s worth, plenty of us who have lived here our entire lives reject US exceptionalism, protestant work ethic, etc.

Also going after ADHD meds, antipsychotics, and weight loss drugs. I’m terrified. I knew the Nazis came for the disabled early on. I selfishly thought that didn’t include me. If I lose access to my medications, disabled will be the word for me for sure.

Look up his idea for Wellness Farms. Get you off your mental health meds while doing literal slave labor in farming. For three to five years.

I’m fairly certain I would k.m.s, unless I had notice they were coming and I would probably go out in a gunfight.

This might be my favorite meme.

The EU just came up with $730 billion in war funding. Sidelining them (including Ukraine) was a huge fucking mistake by the fascists and I’m here for it.

OKAAAY

I have ADHD and sometimes can’t focus to do more brain intensive work if I’m in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn’t bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I’ve worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn’t bother me like six people having two conversations would.

They know it. They deliberately conflate being against the Israeli government and being antisemitic.

I was about to say that catholics aren’t as politically fucked as the evangelicals, but I looked up the data and the difference is down to 5%.

When I was young and personally knew some catholics, they seemed so much more fun than the stuffy evangelicals. Their parents voted for Democrats and were much more permissive with their kids compared to protestants. Either my experience is fairly unique or catholics have changed.

I know evangelical and protestant don’t mean the same thing but at least where I grew up almost all the protestants were evangelical or worse. Yeah it gets worse.

Please forgive the source, it doesn’t appear to be biased.

Or elitists that make something significantly less bad impossible because they can’t have blood on their hands.

The people who didn’t vote have more blood on their hands than the ones who voted for Kamala. Basic practicality for the common good is disappearing, just like the capitalists wanted to achieve with their think tank wedge issues and culture wars.

I live in a highly religious part of the country. 79% of the state is some form of christian.

I have had several conversations with people here who do not comprehend that catholics are christian. In fact I even had an argument about it here on Lemmy a while back. I wonder if someone will pop out again to try to tell me that catholics aren’t christians.

To be fair, they all should.

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

Where’s the fucking back button? When I rarely use my wife’s phone I’m like how can you deal with this?
