Ehhhh that one is more forgivable in my opinion. Folk tales and the like tend to last longer just because people keep repeating it. Some of them as a joke.

The chocolate milk brown cow thing is a fundamental lack of logic and critical thinking.

We all make mistakes. Maybe she will becomes someone we can actually root for in the future. Who knows.

If you wanted anarchy wouldn’t a place potentially on the verge of a second civil war be exactly where you wanted to be? That’s gonna be the time you could be the best anarchist of all. When everyone else is busy shooting each other.

Thank you for that lol. Now I have a term for those types of answers.

I am choosing to believe that 7% of American adults think it’s funny to answer questions like that. Even though I know it’s wrong. God dammit.

Our education system is just cooked huh.

I can’t think of a single thing that 100% of people from any decently sized group will agree on. Some will just pick the opposite to be contrarian. Some just don’t care.

Ehhhhhh. I like her somewhat. I appreciate that she calls shit out instead of trying to PR speak everything all the time.

But she has been caught lying or misrepresenting data a handful of times (I mean what political figure has ever told the truth 100% of the time).

That Photoshoot of her crying at the border just really rubbed me the wrong way. She could have posted photos of the actual camps or tried to shed light on the situation in a more direct way. The photos of her fake crying at some chain link fence just really sst wrong with me and it still does.

Not that she’s the first politician that ever staged a photo op in the history of the world, but I expect better from her ya know?

When I’ve been a good boy mama let’s me kick puppies.

What’s the last politician that legitimately had integrity? Besides Bernie.

Yeah but to prosecute crime would have involved going after many of their own voters and donors.

Many people that voted for Bernie in 2016 voted for Trump in 2024. Many people eople who voted for Trump in 2024 also voted for AOC down ballot.

The Democratic party has basically made every single mistake they could possibly make in the last 8 years. To lost to fuckin Trump not once but twice is fuckin embarrassing.

Let’s see if they learn anything by 2028. I doubt they will but here’s to hoping.

I feel bad for Bernie. I never agreed with his politics 100% across the board but I have the utmost respect for the man. He has stuck to his guns basically since he started. It’s a real shame the Democrats shot him down to shove Hillary down our throats in 2016.

I had an account from 2013 with hundreds of thousands of comment and post karma. They banned my account without even telling me why. I filed an appeal and that was a month ago now. Still haven’t heard anything back.

I made a new account under a new email with a new Internet connection and a new device. It got banned after 30 minutes. I literally left one positive comment and upvoted a few things.

Reddit and their power tripping admins/mods can suck it.

I learned how to edit text pixel by pixel in paint 3d.

I had been skipping out on classes and while I was technically still passing my grades weren’t high enough for something my family was doing so I just made a few minor edits. I don’t even remember what it was for. Probably a ski trip or something.

They never found out lol.

I used my pixel level editing skills to get a few friends outta some things or into some things.

I’m one of the few people who liked paint 3d I guess.

I mean who knows what’s going to happen in the future. It’s fairly predictable, but who knows when something is gonna come along and throw a wrench in the plans.

All it takes is another civi war. Or a world war. Or a global economic collapse. Then who knows what’s going to happen in American politics let alone global politics.

What if Trump actually does make everything affordable and our economy is booming again? Democrats would never recover from that. I don’t think that’s what he’s going to do but we don’t know until it happens.

He could drive this country into the ground and leave it wide open for Democrats to sweep in 2028 so they can fix the hole he dug. Again we just won’t know until it happens.

I’m choosing to remain optimistic that Trump won’t completely fuck everything into oblivion and that the Democrats can actually come back in 2028 with a real candidate that people can rally behind again like they did with Obama. I hope they can somehow stop pulling the ship in different directions and all get on board like the Republicans do.

Only time will tell.

George W. Bush took 1,020 days off during 2 terms meaning he spent ~35% of his presidency on “vacation”.

Obama took 328 days off during his 2 terms meaning he spent ~11% of his presidency on “vacation”.

Trump took 380 days off during his first term meaning he spent ~26% of his presidency on “vacation”.

Biden took 532 days off during his term meaning he spent ~36% of his presidency on “vacation”.

I put vacation in quotes because it’s really hard to say if 100% of those days were pure leisure or if they were partially working, but either way it gives you a rough idea of how long each president spent actually working

For fun Carter took only 79 days off during his term meaning he spent only ~5% of his presidency on “vacation”.

Thank you for the additional information from the time period lol. I was so confused.

I wouldn’t say it only rewards psychopaths and rapists, but it does take a specific type of person to be at the very top of the all time rich people lists.

The character traits often used to describe those types of people often align pretty closely with regular psychopaths except these ones are ultra wealthy and therefore harder to shut down because of their massive wealth and influence.

Poor psychopaths can’t get outta nearly as many situations by just throwing money at people so they tend to get caught by the system.

All that being said there are “good” rich and powerful people but they aren’t narcissistic or egotistical so they tend to fly under the radar and not catch my much media attention.

I know Myspace Tom isn’t considered ultra wealthy as he only has a piddly couple hundred million dollars, but the guy made one of the most influential early social media websites and then sold it and dipped out of the public eye entirely. Now he does photography and just lives his life.

We need more Myspace Toms and less Elon Musks.

Yeah unfortunately bad actors ruin pretty much everything. We can do our best as a society to set things up in a way where systems can’t be abused but the sad reality is we just need to raise people better.

Lying, cheating (the academic or competitive integrity kind) and many other undesirable behaviors are part of human nature but good parenting teaches kids not to use those.

If a woman feeds me and scratches my head from time to time I will basically give her anything she wants that I am capable of providing. I am a simple man to please lol.
