I'd bet you bottom dollar Ally is selling their customers' financial information to Meta, and this is a manifestation of that.

So I propose a solution:

We start and fund a non-profit organization designed to produce basic living essentials and sell it at the cost to manufacture, regardless of market pressures. Then we all collectively buy from this non-profit and have a functional means of production legally owned and controlled by the people.

Set up strict rules to ban anyone who has ever worked in any upper management position in any for-profit basic essentials producing company from ever holding any position of power in the non-profit. No one from the corporate world at all. No one from any position in state or federal government. No lobbyists or consultants or members of their think tanks or any of their goons.

Use open source designs for the factories and everyone in the community works together to automate them as much as is possible.

You'd think with all of the money they're pulling in, they'd invest in solar panels or something to lower their overhead.

Or am I making the mistake of approaching the situation with common sense?

The American people are so hopelessly broken, it's shameful.

I like the cut of your jib

Belle is a brainwashed domestic violence victim and nothing can convince me otherwise. I feel so bad for her as an adult.

You're never supposed to use pixels in CSS anyway; you should bare minimum use percentages to account for different screen sizes to make the designs responsive and not look terrible on different screen sizes.

That poor girl. May her community avenge her.

The article gives barely any details on her rapists. I find that deeply problematic.

That is a cartoonishly blatant attempt at manipulating other people's sense of morals and it's not going to work. You'll find no quarter here.

😢😢😢😭😭😭

🤔🤔🤔 I guess I can empathize. People are always traumatized by whatever their parents tell them. What a shame.

🤔 I wonder what the hell it is that's so scary about admitting they're wrong to other people.

You're not a prick or pretentious or doing anything wrong. Part of the propaganda matrix is to shame people into not checking or calling each other out for not having basic knowledge they should have. It's how they keep people uneducated

This is really why we need term limits on all positions of power, not just the presidency.

🤔 A shitload of us ought to move to towns like that and vote in new leadership that actually represents their majority Black populations. Or we should buy up the land and drive the racists out.

You're not actually worried about that. You're trying to defend them because deep down inside, you agree with some of the things they say and think Nazism and fascism are legitimate political ideologies when they are not, and never have been.

Because there are objective community standards to how a kid grows and develops in our society and you have to conform to that whether you agree to it or not. You don't have the right to raise your kids however you want and it's a damn good thing you don't. That's how child abuse becomes endemic.

As much as I am inclined to agree with the sentiment, that would set a very dangerous precedent and jeopardize future Democrat presidents.

It's not hypocrisy, it's their self-interest. They have a political agenda and are spending their lives doing what they can to enforce it, and that means helping their faction gain a foothold into every aspect of public life, especially raising children which they have said emphatically non-stop is all about forcing younger people who don't have the ability to reject them logically to adopt their beliefs. They only care about making more Christians and shutting out enemies of what they think constitutes Christianity, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

They're being entirely consistent in that light.

I read the article and the authorities were watching the cubs for two days as they watched them die. They first took notice when one dropped dead, and they only intervened when the other three collapsed... 😢😢😢

One cub lived, though. If there's any solace in all of this, at least one goddamn cub lived.
