I really wasn’t trying to be, sorry if it came across that way.

Are you talking about the Second Amendment? It was ratified December 15, 1791.

Hi I haven’t posted in months but I live in Ohio and I just had to enter the last 4 of my soc to access “certain features” here, so it appears everything has been going well in my absence

Nice try, FBI

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

ICE responds to a crying baby:

Watching all the weird little “gifts” pop up on the screen and the streamer thanking people and telling them to subscribe while flashbangs go off in the background is straight up like an episode of Black Mirror

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

You should have mobilized them first. You have armed and masked Gestapo agents terrorizing your people on your streets. It’s time to step up, stop talking, and do whatever can be done.

How so? They aggregate news and sell t-shirts and stickers. I fail to see what the big deal is. They’re not asking for donations, they’re not sharing harmful misinformation. If they’re grifters, they’re not super enthusiastic about it.

I liked the eyebrow raise at Trump’s insistence that foreign leaders respect him

Fair enough. I wish you well.

You’re right, I don’t know. I’m inferring based on your statements here. “What’s the point”, etc.

I’m not telling you what to feel. I’m telling you there are outlets for those feelings.

I’m not your enemy. Also, you started this discussion with *me*, not the other way around.

Now is the time to focus on the sphere of influence available to us, and do what we can. And there’s still a lot to do. Civic responsibility doesn’t start and end in the voting booth. Look to your neighbors.

Well, you’re fighting with me right now about whether or not it’s worth it to fight, so clearly you’ve still got some fight left in you.

That energy could be put toward working in your community to lessen the impact of what’s happening on the most vulnerable.

You’re not wrong. I would say making a public declaration of the error of her ways is a good start, though. As for the rest, you’d have to ask her.

Oof.

If you can’t forgive these people when they admit they were wrong, what are we fighting for? Seriously, what is the goal? To go down with the ship gloating about how we were right the whole time?

This accomplished absolutely nothing.

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

A fluffy cream and black colored dog with a curled tail trots along a trail through a frozen grassland. There is a forest off in the distance.

Hey. I hope you went outside today.

You know there are political positions outside of Democrat and Republican, right?

It doesn’t matter what kind of storytelling they do. There will be no accountability. We’re on our own.

I haven’t posted much here lately because 1) no one cares, and 2) it’s been kind of hard to stay positive and focus on cute cats and pretty landscapes and stuff.

And now I just found out ENRIQUE FUCKING TARRIO is going to be back on the streets.

I answer ‘independent’ when possible. If not, I answer ‘moderate’. Let them try to parse that with the rest of my answers.

“Partly cloudy and 25% chance of snow around 5pm” while it’s 2 o’clock and there’s an actual blizzard happening

honestly just ban all social media, then destroy the power substations. light all the cars on fire. return to the woods. die of pneumonia. live the good life.

Does anyone else in the mid-to-late 30s find themselves inordinately pissed off when the weather app doesn’t accurately report the weather?

Is this a middle age thing? Or is it just that everything feels so out of control in general and the Weather Channel’s inaccuracies are my final straw?

I typed up this same rant on the BtB sub the other day and then decided it wasn’t worth the blowback
