“normal to pause and wonder if people are what they say they are.”

I do the same thing when someone tells me they are Christian, it’s easier to simply step back and see what their actions really say about who they are.

That’s the real story. The general public won’t hear about most lobby groups until they make the news because lobby groups are not in business with the general public.

Can we not with this? Whether or not this is a verifiable event is irrelevant to the entertainment value it possesses unless you are the type of person who has to witness every event in order to extract some value therein, in which case look away from the screen and touch some grass.

Cosmic level irony right here. Killed, terrorized and deposed in the name of power just to end up having to play the same game with the same rules.

Fuck it let’s take it to the next level. This says way more about the balance of power on a world scale than the failures of these morons. This planet runs on economic subjugation, from every single individual and to any group that becomes powerful enough to upset the status quo, you will grease the wheel or you have no better use than to be fed into the meat grinder.

Every day I inch closer to nihilism, today feels like a giant leap forward.

Technique to build familiarity. Obviously doesn’t work on everyone but for those it does it’s quite effective

Literally anyone that’s trying to sell you something whether it’s a product, service or ideology is likely to use it if it may increase their chance of success.

You are right they have no duty to protect the public, their job is to maintain the status quo and defend capitalist interests. Two guesses into which category searching for this book in a middle school falls under.

Entertainment industry as a whole is about to relearn some painful lessons about customer satisfaction. Every day there’s a new reason to hoist the black flag on predatory capitalism.

It’s going to trickle down further, next it’s going to be employees at outsource facilities falsified records. I know someone who worked in the QA department for a company involved with the design and manufacture of certain parts of the fuel system and they are all currently shitting themselves.

The Russians will throw someone out the window or poison them in a very obvious way, the Americans will put two in their head and have it ruled a suicide.

The motion says that if approved, private donations would be used for the restoration of the school names and not by “the school system or government tax funds, though the SCPS will oversee disbursements relating to restoration costs,” according to [Thursday’s meeting agenda.]

This is all you need to know. Just need a little lubricant and the racist wheel keeps on turning.

Not a bug, a feature.

Jerusalem Cricket (Potato Bug)

Like refusing to do a beauty pageant for petty reasons then trying to close it down because there’s no attention in your self-aggrandized martyrdom.

People get upset if you part your hair wrong. Forgetting a name hasn’t gotten me killed yet but stranger things have happened.

I can remember someone’s name after one meeting but when I can’t it makes me feel awkward. I feel less awkward when 9 times out of 10 they forgot meeting me the first time.

First they come for your lawn, then they take your jobs and before you know it they’re turning your boys into girls to destroy the white whatever the small minded bigot in question thinks is the superior race.

The sad irony is I’m being sarcastic but this is the core belief for way too many people out there.

edit: on further reflection of my choice of words I concluded that this is not a white vs black or brown problem, as nationalism and religious nationalism specifically, are not exclusive to delusions of race supremacy in the western world.

If you are able to go with someone else there is safety in numbers. Not just from the general public but from your own mind. Buying a swimsuit can easily overwhelm your sense of self worth so having someone who is championing for you is invaluable.

As for style, whatever you feel cute in. Nothing looks better than confidence in what you’re wearing.

Vaping helped me quit a 15 year- two pack a day habit and for many smokers like myself it is a great smoking cessation tool. That being said, in the five years since I’ve quit smoking and vaping altogether I’ve watched vaping go from a smoking cessation aid to a gateway for non-smokers to find addiction in something new when they would have otherwise not smoked cigarettes.

The problem as always is that the vaping industry is way too lucrative a business. Proper oversight and regulation would cut profits and mitigate the ability for companies like Philip Morris and Juul Labs to create lifelong customers.

How seriously do you think black-face was considered? Do you think it was the optics or logistics that stymied that thought?

Experts on defrauding public services offer insight that public services are easily defrauded but are mum on any solutions that would make it harder to defraud public services. The math maths.
