  • 'I can destroy the country': Trump's threat after Supreme Court strikes down his key policy

    Jump

  • 15 years ago such a statement would have been unthinkable. Look where we are now and how fast we’ve gotten there. The repubicans went apeshit over a tan suit, but this? They sit on their hands.

  • Most Americans disapprove of Trump on issues; Americans don’t trust Dems in Congress more to handle problems: Poll

  • Like 34% of the country are bots. They just do what they’re programmed to do.

  • hello Fediverse! how do neurodivergent peeps get jobs?

    Jump

  • Depends on the flavor and intensity of ND.

    Plenty of ND’s find and keep jobs. Just other varieties have different wiring and tolerances that don’t fit well with what most people do in normal jobs.

    A lot of work has shifted to remote, even if some do have office days still, so maybe you can find one that suits your skills that allows that? Even school can be done remote and online, though I do expect that there would be mandatory class meetings.

    I don’t know of any jobs off the top of my head that allow someone to be a complete hermit, but maybe someone else can chime in with one.

  • What the fuck.

    Good for her catching him.

  • What are some Ship of Theseus bands, where all original members have been replaced by someone new?

    Jump

  • Journey?

    Any originals left in that band?

  • Then the insurance is incorrect for the situation. IOW if you know the US charges stupid prices then insurance should be commensurate. Or not go to the US. Not blaming the people, just an insurance company that is inept.

  • Only in very, very limited context. A minority can make fun of their own group all they want, and an “outsider” can do so but can't really be punching down and it can’t be making someone less because of their ethnicity. Painting outside those lines is risky at the very least.

  • GOP Sen. Ted Cruz says, "Let's stop attacking pedophiles" during Congress speech

    Jump

  • We’d attack policy, but Republicans don’t have any.

  • That sucks. I mean, I’m glad it eventually worked out, but that’s a lot of BS for them to put up with because insurance didn’t want to pay.

  • The shitty American medical system being what it is I gotta blame the travel insurance. If their insurance was supposed to cover it and didn’t, that’s an insurance problem.

  • If it can’t be seen you can’t prove it is changing things. You don’t get it both ways saying it’s invisible to me but somehow isn’t invisible for you.

  • What we consider funny has shifted quite a bit, at least publicly and for decent people. There are still plenty who are perfectly fine with lowbrow racism and all that as far as what constitutes humor.

  • You think forcing a binary choice wins the argument? One absolutely can appreciate public protest and also understand it isn’t stopping the oligarchs and fascist takeover. I can. Can you?

  • Depends on what it was. Episodes of forward-looking shows like Star Trek or other series that tackled social issues in episodes are going to be wildly different than something like Revenge of the Nerds.

  • I have collected so many of the movies I remember fondly as a Gen X’er. From the ‘70s to the ‘90s. Holy shit the stuff I’d forgotten that was in them. Rape-y stuff, comments about underage girls and basically leering at them with tbe camera, suicides, misogyny, women as sexual objects and nothing else, racism… It’s bad. I’d started a movie or two with my kids and had a “oh no” moment when a part started that I’d completely forgotten about. Some of that still exists, but it’s there as a narrative and plot point about the character doing the shitty things rather than the casual and institutional way it was played before. Just goes to show you how times and people (can; some don’t) change. Some of that stuff was not unusual in life for me back then, I wouldn’t dream of it today.

  • Ok, without effective resistance.

    Tell me what has changed due to the protests that is stopping trump and the rest of the regime. Be specific.

  • It is without resistance. The citizens offer protest while the Democratic Party looks out for their retirement checks. The protest has been ineffective other than getting press and bringing out trump’s goon squad.
