Breaking news

I adore the meme that Patel's FBI fabricated those texts between the alleged Kirk shooter and his partner. Just the fact that they've done such a poor job gaining public trust that a bunch of people watching the story ended up like "Okay, I wouldn't have thought the FBI would fabricate evidence like this before, but Kash Patel has utterly convinced me that they fabricated these texts. Look how conveniently they answer every single outstanding question for the investigation and sound like they were written by a 40 year old federal agent and not a college kid from Utah."

It's objectively fucking hilarious. Especially if the texts are actually real.

Anon reality checks your fantasy

elf wife suffers and mourns you for hundreds of years alone

Even still, you don't get to choose for her whether or not she's allowed to love someone she knows she will have to say goodbye to eventually. For all you know those sixty years she spent with you might be a precious memory that makes that long life worth living.

I love my wife more than anything. Even if I knew I was going to outlive her by centuries I would still choose her Every. Single. Time. The memories I've made with her are that precious. I don't think I even have words for how upset I'd be at someone trying to say that we shouldn't be together because I'm going to massively outlive her.

The cartoon is only a little sensationalist, but the comments are truly unhinged

They literally set up their biggest recruitment centers in the poorest areas of the country offering "a way out" that isn't the prison pipeline while being one of the biggest propaganda outfits in history.

Multiple things can be true at once. The military can be guilty of unimaginable amounts of cruelty while individual soldiers can also be victims exploited by the systems of poverty that those on top have perpetuated and continue to benefit from.

You've literally got elites starving people, handing some of them some table scraps in exchange for cracking some skulls for them and these people talk like every single one of them is just as bad and there's no possibility that they're getting exploited too.

Dear Republican Women

My wife literally had to have all three of those while we were trying to have our twins. She had a double whammy of a rogue ectopic they couldn't find on scans and an empty gestational sac in the uterus that wouldn't pass. They knew there had to be an ectopic somewhere because her hCG levels weren't tracking with what they should be with what they could see on the scans.

So the Catholic hospital we were at gave her multiple courses of methotrexate to make sure they got the ectopic. Multiple scripts for I believe it was Misoprostol to try to pass the miscarriage. But when that didn't work and she showed up to a monitoring appointment with signs of sepsis, they immediately took her in for emergency surgery to remove it.

Then when we finally got our twins we had to do a late term selective termination because the pregnancy was originally quads, one died early enough to be reabsorbed but was conjoined at the umbilical cord to her twin. That twin had a massive stroke during some crucial brain development weeks and we found out at 20 weeks that she had basically no brain and her constant seizures were actively killing the other two and might even cause her to lose the entire pregnancy.

Literally the only option to save the two healthy twins was to terminate that triplet. Abortion is literally the only reason my twins are alive today.

Friendly reminder for my fellow aces out there that the sex circle just means compatibility not necessarily actually having sex. If both of you are cool without doing the Horizontal Mambo, then that means you fulfill the sex circle.

My wife and I have been married 8 years this July and we haven't had sex since we conceived our twins who turn 6 this summer. I love her to bits, she's my best friend. I'm just ace and she's almost exclusively sexually attracted to women.

Edit: Sorry y'all, I've been informed I have apparently committed the gave sin of engaging in the Wrong Kind of Fun for this Community. Apparently my shitpost comment is a "selfawarewolves" and not a "leopardsatemyface" and as such is a grave transgression. I can only hope my execution is swift and merciful lmao. o7 Godspeed comrades.

What do you mean 99.9999% of the "illegals" aren't actually viscous criminals and it's all just... random dudes like my neighbor Josue from Church? But he's One of the Good Ones™ dagnabbit! I had wanted all them damned "Trendy R Agua" guys Joe Brandon flooded the country with to steal the election for the Demon Rats and bankrupt my SNAP and Medicare gone.

-- That guy, probably

They can never explain to me how they actually steal the election when these people can't vote and nobody has ever proven they do or have. Never mind the fact that these people pay into these programs without being able to actually receive them statutorily most everywhere. Or that Trump is actively gutting them.

Play stupid game, win stupid prize

My wife and I actually met because of this kind of thing. Not only that, but the relationship I was in before meeting her ended because my partner at the time decided that she wanted an open relationship exactly long enough to get involved with one of my friends and then leave me for him.

Her late spouse did the whole forced poly/open relationship crap and I was one of the people they started talking to. It's actually seeing how her ex treated me that let her finally realize she was in an abusive marriage and put her foot down and leave. We've been together 10 years now, married for almost 8.

rule crash

Reply in thread

I've seen it come up before actually. I'm not 100% on the details because it's been a while, but iirc they got into a crash and it scared them a lot, like "confronting my mortality" type shit so they started like genuinely questioning their life and like what they would even want in a romantic partner and eventually realized they were Ace.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new polls finds

My family's income rose by about 300 dollars per month a few months ago. We immediately lost about 250 dollars per month in rental assistance and SNAP benefits. But it's totally individual choices that keep us in poverty. If we just budgeted better we cou- Wait. No, scratch that. We also get in trouble for having too much money in savings and assets. We'd actually lose all our benefits before we managed to save up any appreciable amount of money.

cat

not true 🥲

idk, cats are really sweet if you understand how they show affection. Though on this particular note, my grumpy old man of a cat taught himself to basically be an anxiety/panic attack service animal. He started doing it years ago when I was really struggling with anxiety and depression. But now if he hears someone, even one of the little kids crying or even gets the vibe one of us in the house is about to have an anxiety/panic attack he will come up to us, rub up on us, and start trying to like burrow his way into whatever ball we're curled up in to get into our faces and try to get us to pet him. Then he'll just sit there demanding pets from us until whatever attack we are having subsides and he'll trot off.

Little goofball would even guard the twins swings. The second one of the swings stopped or one of them started crying he'd run over and meow at one of us and lead us to the problem. And oh the beating he gave to one of the other cats the one time he dared to hiss at one of those babies for crying. I hadn't even had the chance to stand up yet and that old man practically flew across the room and have 7 or 8 loud paw slaps to the offender's face and the most threatening yowl I'd ever heard come out of him. The other cat was fine too, no serious harm to anything but his pride. It was very much a "WTF are you doing? Those are babies! GTFO before I really hurt you," kind of thing.

Leisure Time

See also the outrage at poor people being allowed to purchase things like candy and soda on SNAP. Always wrapped up in some patronizing faux concern of how they might abuse it or how the program was meant for healthy food and how being allowed to do so is why so many poor people are obese. When in reality being poor correlates with obesity because those calorie dense foods are simply the ones that are cheapest and most readily available.

Like, just say that you think that poor people don't deserve to have tasty treats unless they can buy them with their own money. Just say that because all my time is taken up by taking care of my disabled wife and disabled kids and therefore I can't work so we survive off disability benefits and SNAP that my kids don't deserve to to have the one glass of soda I let them have with dinner.

Mamdani Says Trump Is A Fascist - Right To His Face. Trump Just Laughs

Reply in thread

100% agree. It's pro wrestling to him. I absolutely think he sees Mamdani as someone who is playing the game like him. Mamdani is very good at finding common ground and has talked to a lot of Trump voters so I'm betting that it was a very like I don't hate you, I just wanted to win the election and deliver for New York and I think we can figure out ways to do that. I think it's why he likes Bernie too cuz Bernie isn't above giving Trump his flowers when he's proposing something good for his people (however disingenuous it may actually be).

behold a terf agenda

Wait 'til they learn that the ovaries and the testes differentiate from the same structures meaning technically speaking you could say trans women were born with "faulty egg producing equipment" just by virtue of it not differentiating into the correct equipment. lmao

I love how these fucking hogs have zero problem lying through their teeth about shit like this. Presumably because in their mind they know the woke Starbucks employee they decided to target definitely did do this at some point and was just never caught. So it's not that he is lying, he's just exposing the crime that's already there and nobody has caught before.
