american here.

watching the video of trump and vance yelling at an ally in need of help because he said "thank you" at the wrong time is insulting. dear president zelensky: i am so sorry you have to interact with that donut and his side of coffee. you, sir, are a classy fellow who deserves to be respected.

In Austin, police were forced to use pepper spray and tear gas...

i'm sorry, who is forcing the police to do this? it seems like they are willingly doing this, not being forced.

tell your friends.

i hate this shit. when its my wife's decision to get/do something, she always starts the conversation but the person regularly turns and talks to me.

i dont know what the fuck my wife wants, im here as arm candy. you deal with her.

i had to tell the same salesman this 4 times in the same 2 minute conversation when we went to pep boys.

yeah - the dogwhistle language was pretty much "jail the brown people".

i'm sure my mother is estatic. she told me she is scared all the time because one of her neighbors is chinese (she doesnt know them or talk to them; i have never met them... and neither has she, officially). that is the only basis for her fear - she makes up stories about them and everything. the last story she made up was how they were running an international crime ring to get more chinese people to live near her...........

fucking white people :(

he is a punk musician.

being banned from everything for having an opinion makes it sound like he did his job well.

i figured gen z would start fixing my computer once i hit my current age (41); turns out i dont know any gen z's that understand how computers work.

im really tired of being everyone's tech support :(

company ruins life of employee: stonk

employee ruin company: immediate imprisonment

edit:

Ultimately, Eaton Corp. bore substantial costs getting its network back online

actually, it did nothing to the company but cost it a few bucks. do not pass go/collect $200.

this person was not fired, he was laid off. he was not actively harming the company until the company ruined his life.

it has always been so weird to me that national public media isnt 100% funded by the government. i honestly didnt realize that the funding was this low, but i figured it would be at least in the 10's of percents :(

i usually complain to the wife when horrible tactics are used in medieval battles.

like... why is everyone always doing a full frontal assault, have the wrong weapons, not use fire appropriately, never flank, use cavalry inappropriately.....

miltary tactics in movies is usually abhorrent.

having an opt-out policy instead if an opt-in policy would allow those that care enough to opt out, but allow science and organ donation to become the cultural norm.

there is an all gender bathroom at a business near me that has a picture of a male, female, and disabled person in a wheelchar on it.

i giggle every time i pass by it because i am handicapped gender.

a fine of $92M and it isnt a class action suit. i dont even get my $1.08 in the mail for being violated.

my parents were born in 1953 & 1954.

i was born in 1984. single income household, father is blue collar worker, mother is housewife.

when i was born, we lived in a big, two-story, full-size single family home in a high cost of living area.

when i was 3 years old (1987), my parents decided they wanted another house, so they bought one and we moved to an even higher cost of living area. they didnt sell the first house to afford a new one, they just bought another one and we had two houses.

what the fuck happened.

i started realizing more and more that my father's jokes were racist. then i started noticing that his normal speech and interactions were racist.

i was brought up with this racism as a norm, so it took me a long time to realize we were a racist family (longer than i would like to admit).

then after a realizing how racist we were, i put two and two together....... my father is a police officer.

so you're saying it worked.....
