Yes, actually. Rational response. Good on him.

I don't give a single shit about the welfare or public approval of any large profit corporation. I care even less about UHC specifically.

Anyone who still works there is complicit. The entire health insurance industry needs to be taken down and everyone involved shunned from society forever. It's an atrocity.

With no DOE employees to process defaults?

Nobody should be paying a red cent.

If your choice is draining your entire bank account to the point you can't afford to live or suffering a credit score penalty, then the credit score should be sacrificed.

"but they can..."

Stop. Nothing they can do is worse than starving. Don't pay them. Use your money for your own needs.

Donald Trump blew a horse. Or it could have been Bill Clinton. And photos exist. We don't know exact details.

Those words I just typed describe actual reality in this same universe where you live.

Here's the thing.

The last 10 years have proven that organized online hostility is VERY EFFECTIVE at dictating public opinion.

That's how we got the new fascist movements. Trump and the like. Because right wing hostility and bigotry went not only unchecked institutionally but unchallenged socially.

No solution has emerged for that from an institutional level.

So yeah, my socialist ass is fighting back. I'll be damned if I'm going to spend the rest of my life under these fucking wastes of flesh and their bullshit antiquated opinions. I'm done taking it and I'm done tolerating it. Fuck every last republican and homophobe and transphobe and complicit liberal. All of them. And wouldn't you know it, little by little they're backing down when we stand up to them like the cowards they are.

Yes, I am deliberately far more hostile online, because it WORKS. And clearly nobody with institutional control cares enough to try anything else.

I have the RIGHT to freedom of speech and expression and I will not waive it for Trump or anyone else. Without it, there is no United States.

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck the Republicans. Fuck the oligarchy. Fuck authoritarianism. Fuck this fear, and fuck advance compliance.

I serve no fucking king.

Yes. Don't listen to people who tell you not to.

The indicator is for communicating your intent to change the position (which lane you're in) or direction (turning in or out of a road, parking space, etc.) of your car.

The safest thing you can do as a driver is to be PREDICTABLE to other drivers. The indicator communicates necessary information for other drivers to predict your actions.

Not using one when changing the position or direction of your car is inconsiderate and dangerous to other road users. It is also illegal.

Use them. Please.

Fucking DO IT ALREADY THEN

That's fine.

Any job that wants you to use certain software can provide a device it'll run on for you.

Well sure, but you're forgetting that the federal government has pulled the rug out from under health research and therefore had made it so there is no economic value in biochemistry.

If we're being real, it's not likely at all. He's probably safer than Biden was.

Not only does the secret service impose incredibly tight security (not perfect, mind you), but Trump doesn't go anywhere except the White House and his shithole golf course.

In order to assassinate him, it would probably have to be an inside job. That seems exceptionally unlikely.

I think an alarming number of Gen Z internet folks find it funny to skew the results of anonymous surveys.

You don't get it.

The people posting shit like that WANT TO KILL.

They are bloodthirsty. They are warmongers. They want a bodycount.

There's nothing more to realize about the joke because it's not a joke.

America is ruled by murderers.

It's like none of you have heard of Edward Snowden.

In this order:

1. Tell other adults you trust about the situation. Your wife. Her parents if possible. More than one other person.

2. Explain to her in very clear terms that you can't have that kind of relationship. It's not about what anybody feels, it's about what is possible.

3. At the FIRST sign of any type of revenge seeking behavior, that's when you consider the authorities and rely on backup from the adults you spoke to.

She very well might listen to you, process the rejection for what it is, and move on. Or she might flip out and cause you a mess. If she handles it well, she's learned something and you've treated a growing human with respect. If she doesn't, your ass is covered.

Except it isn't because Tesla dealers don't work like traditional dealers.

They'll leave you to drive one unattended and then tell you to reserve online if you want to buy.

They don't earn commission. They have no incentive to let you waste their time.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Violence is justifiable when the alternative is to be killed.

UHC kills innocent people. That's their business model.

You should really move out or stay at his place when you want to fuck. He doesn't need to regress into your childhood.

Yeah, talk to your union about this.

America is indeed one hell of a dark corner.
