  • Freedom and safety

    Jump

  • I don't know. I think security today, has been awfully abused because I really don't see for example, why the fuck Google needs my street address to "feel secure". It's small things like that, that really make you question.

    There's something about this lecture that doesn't sit right with me and I think it's because they're bringing into irrelevant things that don't mesh with the idea of freedom or security.

  • What parody surpassed what it was trying to parody?

  • I think we're seeing things happen that not even Idiocracy could predict.

  • How do you deal with rude customers?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately in America, all and any retail bows to the wills of stupid fucking entitled customers. If it was my way, I'd allow at least a two limit outburst per week if I was managing a store chain. Don't hit them, don't do any harm, just express yourself and tell them how it is.

    But, if you really do anything and I mean anything to a customer, it's your job. It's really bullshit how it works. However, if you plan to leave your job anyways, who the fuck cares? Let them have it.

  • Linux or Landfill? End of Windows 10 Leaves PC Charities with Tough Choice

    Jump

  • Linux. Each Linux OS, breathes new life into an old laptop. Least if that laptop is at least 15 ~ 20 years old. Laptops from the late 90s though? May have to go very old school Linux.

  • 'Schumer Must Resign' as Senate Dem Leader After Helping Advance GOP Spending Bill

  • Take the rest of the dems who voted with him too

  • Op-ed: Trump's policies are making our kids dumber, sicker, meaner and scared

    Jump

  • Like I said, there is going to be a scary difference between those who graduated and those who didnt or did but were given a shortcut.

  • Senate Dems Look to Give Trump Everything He Wants After a “Fake Fight” on Spending Bill

    Jump

  • I actually can kind of see what they're doing? So what's the strategy here? Are they wanting to do the cloture and move for a vote to the floor? But then that would mean that they are hoping GOP is going to flip that would ultimately push to a shut down. They're really hinging on GOP to have enough non-Trump loyalists to do that but I can't really see it happening.

    So yeah this kind of shit is also what is caving faith in for democrats.

  • I have a hard time making friends. Anyone else? Any tips?

    Jump

  • Finding friends becomes harder the older you get, so you still have time and youth on your side. However, do not write off on the ability of going out more, this is still a thing you have to do, to get anyone at all. You can make online friends for sure, but they're still people on lists, behind screens and hundreds to thousands of miles away from you. You won't get to them unless you build healthy savings and arrange things.

    Your key is hobbies, what do you do? What do you like? There's a community out there for everything. Finding friends is a lot of wheeling and dealing, don't be too hard on yourself for not finding too much to be compatible with someone over. You never know if you're dodging a bullet because the worst thing than just being or feeling alone, is wasting time on the wrong people.

  • Trump's 2nd-term approval rating with Hispanics slips to record low: Polls

    Jump

  • 56% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy.

    Pfffft. 44% out there think it's just fucking dandy!

    But I can't wait for the disapproval rating to drop down to even 20% however long it gets there.

  • They need to bathe him some more in conspiracies before he's ready again. That's the issue.

  • Tim Walz says ‘we wouldn’t be in this mess’ if it wasn’t for him and Harris

    Jump

  • Bernie's chances of running are pretty much up and over. He's like 83. The time to have gotten him in was definitely 2016, but the DNC wanted Clinton and that got them to lose. 2020, he lost again because everyone tone deaf wanted Biden because they believed "well, he was around Obama during his two terms, he should be in because he'll just continue what Obama built!". They only got lucky to have won 2020 with Biden, just lucky.

    I cannot see Bernie Sanders ever running again.

  • Tim Walz says ‘we wouldn’t be in this mess’ if it wasn’t for him and Harris

    Jump

  • You know what? Yes we are in this mess - BECAUSE of you. You didn't call on Trump for him admitting that he allowed the election to be rigged in his favor. You didn't hold up the election for it to be truly verified. You just allowed Harris to verify it because you wanted to try and make yourselves look good that you didn't cause an insurrection for brownie points. You didn't work hard enough to change the course of your campaign with Harris because you decided to centralize it on a narcissistic whore like Trump.

    Aside from 71+ million uneducated fucking morons that call themselves American, you have a part of fault in this. The "at least we're not Trump" play didn't work in 2016, what made you think it'd fucking work in 2024? You didn't build off of any of the momentum from Biden and you didn't dare try to say or do things differently than what Biden did.

    While it is not entirely your fault, it is partially your fault too. You better fucking have something better by 2026 or this country mind as well be called the United States of Amerinazis if it isn't already classified that.

  • A great dad is the figure that should serve as a role model, basically a symbol of everything a man should be about. Not a player, not an abuser, not a user. Someone who is there for their kids as much as the mother is.

    They should be the straightener, the one that sees your flaws, pulls you over and breaks down why it is that what you're doing or about to do is wrong.

    A father should be a buddy, a good friend. Someone firm but fair.

  • My problem is that people are repeating the same posts over and over again. You see it on News, Politics .etc

    Yes we know already how X did or say Y thing leading to Z result. We read about it a week ago and maybe even 2 days ago. We don't need repetition.

    And for the sake of the question, it's just a symptom of how poorly attuned people are to finding good solid sources. They do it out of convenience.

  • How should we approach taxing the wealthy in a practical manner?

    Jump

  • Wealth Inequality on it's own, is a problem almost nobody but the middle, lower-middle and the poor will address. It has to start here. Nobody should amass the amount of money we see individuals possess. If someone understands how far a single million could stretch for someone (provided they're responsible that is), they would understand how pointless it'd be for someone to have even 10 million or 100 million or even a single billion.

    And if anyone gave two shits about the seven deadly sins, the idea of accumulating more money should be a more frowned-upon thing. But instead, gaining more money equals to you being more powerful than most. That's not how things should ever be. There should be a cap of how much money you should realistically earn up to. We've already seen the damage and continuing to see the damage afflicted, by incredibly rich people. They're too dangerous to be wielding that much.
