Honestly I barely talk to my immediate family, about 60/40 because we live under one roof, and most of our communication is just sharing memes anyway.

The only relatives I care about are three democrats that realize capitalism is a problem and the rich are the true enemies of the people. The rest are all corpo-throating republicans.

And even when I was younger and dumber/more “conservative” , I still didn’t care to keep in touch with them. Just never really cared to.

Oh hell yeah.

A lot of modern people who have no knowledge of how to stack rocks conclude ancient egyptians couldn’t possibly have stacked rocks because they themselves cannot stack rocks.

Replace those bits with almost anything and it still works.

I’m a big fan of “you paid us to remove your shit, you didn’t pay us, here’s your shit/equivalent of your shit back”

Nothing ever happens

I mean, by then we had Ronald Reagan, so…

It’s always been a joke.

John Brown begins shaking uncontrollably

Wanted to go to a trade school for welding when I was a teenager. Mother said no, because “you’re going to college”

I kept asking for help figuring out college stuff, mother kept saying “I’ll help you tomorrow/next week when I have time” (she was technically a substitute teacher but usually worked 1 day/wk)

Graduation came and went and I had no money saved up, no colleges looked at beyond what my limited googling skills could come up with, and absolutely no help from my parents with anything.

Good news though, since my parents collectively made enough money, I didn’t qualify for financial aid of any kind! Did I say good news? I meant bad.

And of course my parents lived paycheck to paycheck and we got EBT or medicaid for most of my childhood.

Now instead of an education or a trade that’s in demand, I have depression and a shitty 15/hr job that is destroying my joints.

Ain’t life grand?

If he ever gloats about having a degree, I’ve had success with tossing back “in order for me to feel insulted, I would have to value your opinion”

Its made two relatives block me and my mother in law call several relatives to cry and moan about how evil and manipulative I am because when she responded with multiple gigantic run-on paragraph/sentences in a row, I hit her with “lol. I ain’t gonna read all that”

People who take pleasure in how much better they believe their lives or decisions are typically can’t stand it when someone else doesn’t fucking care

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was “Oh no, not again.”

Why would he do anything to negatively impact his handler’s master? (I assume Put in doesn’t handle trump himself…)

It’s great how in the same comment section, you’ll have someone telling you that you are a CIA shill, someone telling you that you’re a dumb conservative, 15 people calling you a liberal, two people going on at length about how you deserve to die because you were born in the “wrong” country “have inherently evil ideals”, half a dozen using any way they can to make your country’s name something negative, and once in a blue moon you’ll have someone telling you that your enemy isn’t the person on the other side of the screen, it’s the rich.

That last guy gets called both a fascist CIA shill* and* a dumb tankie.

Yes, sit diwn and let them execute you like an obedient slave. I’m sure asking nicely will help.

Isn’t it Ionic?

Someone around my area keeps destroying about a dozen flock cameras, and a few have even got guards or security/trail cameras on them now after being replaced.

I congratulate whoever is doing this, and hope they never get caught.

Fuck surveillance states. Fuck flock in particular.

And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

Yes, but line go up fast enough?

It makes perfect sense when viewed from “the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you’re constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave”

I would agree if it weren’t painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren’t heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

Personally I’m a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?
