  • New federal employees must now write essays praising Trump's policies

  • He's not a president, he is a dictator. This is the shit that dictators pull.

  • If someone gave you 5 billion dollars to improve the world in any way you see fit, what would you do?

    Jump

  • Yeah, one thing the Trump admin has taught me is that our constitution actually doesn't mean shit. Not to us as American citizens and not to the government that swore to uphold it. We've all just been pretending to care about it until someone with a god complex decided to challenge us.

  • That is very fair.

  • I feel like we have very different beliefs on what "grand scheme of things" means because I don't believe $5b will make an immediate difference right away for most people, but you can implement small things that will create ripple effects that greatly change the grand scheme of things for the future.

  • I truly don't believe $5b is anywhere close to being enough to do that.

  • Thats the point.

    The money isn't for you, and you don't get any of the benefits of having it. The only reason I allowed for a stipen for a modest living in a cheap area is because I knew that half the comments would be "First I buy land build houses for me and all my friends and family, buy everyone cars, and fund all their colleges, then with the hundred million left over, I'll help some homeless people" OR if I would have said you get no money at all, everyone would have said they wouldn't have time to do anything good because they still had to work full time and half to afford their bills. So, the compromise is you get a modest lifestyle in an undesirable area fully funded, or no money at all and you can continue to work full time and a half to afford your basic ass lifestyle while not helping anyone.

  • I wanted to do something similar to your apartment idea but for teens and young adults in poverty-stricken areas. Get them into a stable environment, teach them the necessary life skills like credit management, budgeting, cooking for yourself, etc. and give them job training. All of that would also go just as well for the homeless population. I grew up in an area that was riddled by the crack epidemic and had no resources for kids/teenagers to do anything other than crimes. The city didn't pay for anything to keep us out of trouble, and our drug addict parents sure weren't going to do it either. So I always felt like if I had a ton of money I would focus on program to help teens in those situations learn to be proper adults, because nobody else is teaching them. Schools won't, parents won't, we're defunding every program that helps outside of the home. It's a mess.

  • Fetterman Says His Openness on Mental Health Issues Is ‘Weaponized”

    Jump

  • He is a walking mental health issue. I wish he would go away. I think I regret voting for him more than any other person I've ever voted for in my life.

  • Chuck Schumer says he is placing a hold on Trump DOJ nominees amid questions on Qatar's luxury jet gift

    Jump

  • So he's pretending to do his job for a few days until the next scandal(s) comes out and we all get distracted from the plane.

  • Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

    Jump

  • AI will write them and AI will read them to us.

  • Do you use a meat thermometer?

    Jump

  • Only for whole birds, everything else I pretty much low and slow cook so I know its done, and steaks I eat bloody.

  • You can broadcast a single thought to everyone alive. What thought would cause immediate chaos everywhere?

    Jump

  • "This is not you, this is god, you are the new messiah like my son Jesus before you. It is up to you to right all that's gone wrong in my world. Many will come forward and say that they received this message but do not be fooled for that is Satan trying to defeat you."

    Then I get popcorn and watch the whole world burn.

  • What's your plan for the Zombie Apocalypse?

    Jump

  • Oooh okay, neighbor is in on the plan. That is a good plan!

    My husband always says he will "get guns" and I'm always like, how are you gonna get the guns away from the people that already have them? You're not going to be the first to get to a gun store and you're not going to beat up the guys who have guns.

  • How are you going to get the Tanks away from the neighbor? They can fight you off... They have tanks.

  • What's your plan for the Zombie Apocalypse?

  • Thanks! I love talking about this kind of stuff, even if it is really silly and never going to happen, it's fun to pretend.

  • "I would just die" has always been my plan too.

    Jump

  • Thats what happens when you force employees to do stupid shit like this.

  • Why are you proud of yourself tonight?

    Jump

  • And now the universe is balanced again.

  • You leave once the ride is over! And not a moment before!

  • As a person who has been suicidal, I respect this opinion, but as a person who lost multiple family members to suicide, I wish someone had stopped them. The fact that nobody did is what keeps me around though, resentfully, because I don't think my mom could handle it again. It's a complicated feeling.
