Because American Trump voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

FTFU.

I’m curious: the person you replied to didn’t say they were comparable, so why did you feel the need bring it up?

In my experience, people who point that out when no one has made the comparison are usually insecure about an issue that affects men getting attention and potentially eclipsing the issue affecting women. Like people who point out that female victims of domestic violence die more often from their assaults during discussions about male victims of domestic violence.

You sure you wanna be that person? Try harder not to be, please.

Yeah—personal preference. As in, not the preference of the fucking parents.

Thank goodness religion is fake bullshit.

Specifically, many believe her to be perpetuating fraud by demanding money from her followers in exchange for specific acts of prosperity provided by God (and even to ask God to smite your enemies).

Sounds like the Prosperity Gospel to me.

They’re not “trying” to do this, they’re doing this because the tariffs increase the prices they have to pay to get their goods, so naturally they need to increase the price they sell said goods to consumers so that they can turn a profit and continue to exist as a business. This is not, was not, and never will be that hard to understand.

“I’m makin’ money and I don’t know the people around here, so fuck 'em!”

This is, sadly, the reasoning at the core of the problem in the heads of the people who know about the problem but choose not to do the right thing. They may rationalize away the cognitive dissonance of knowing they’re likely harming others and not wanting to think of themselves as a bad person by making up various excuses, but the truth of the matter is that human beings make decisions more based on emotion than reason, and most people are going to feel stronger feelings about the things that affect them and theirs than things that affect complete strangers. Our psychology—like most other aspects of us—evolved to function in small, tight-knit communities. We are simply not adapted to live in societies as large as we’ve created.

It’s almost like ICE is just a bunch of White supremacists. 🤔

So at what point does this fucker get charged with treason?

Too much trouble to check the article, huh?

Oh, no, I’m not under that misapprehension; I do not expect Trump or his cronies to cede power. I just want as many of his voters from last year as possible to regret their votes, purely for schadenfreude purposes.

As I said, the MAGA cult will worship and rationalize anything Trump does; the independents and swing voters can regret their votes when Trump’s policies come and bite them in the ass. They don’t want that. “It was the other immigrants who were supposed to be deported.” “The tariffs were supposed to be paid by Mexico, not me!”

This is what happens when you let hyper-religious people with no scientific training do “science.”

At this point, I’m rooting for this tariff war to keep heating up. Yes, it hurts American and Chinese consumers, which sucks, but the more Americans are hurt by Trump’s ridiculous dick-measuring policies, the more of them will recognize the error of their votes. The MAGA crowd is in a cult and will never change their minds, but its the independents that really got Trump elected and they’re sway-able. Admittedly fucking stupid to vote for him in the first place, but perhaps sheepish enough to change their votes once they see the wolf’s teeth.

TO ANYONE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO CLICK: THE CAR WAS DONATED, NO PROPERTY DAMAGE LAWS WERE VIOLATED.

Like any tool, they’re not dangerous unless improperly maintained or piloted. I can virtually guarantee you, this will come down to either a guilty mechanic (or policies governing mechanic activities) or a guilty pilot. This is not a consequence of “helicopters are fundamentally unsafe vehicles, unfit for tourist consumption.” Laughable.

Jesus Christ, stop asking people on the internet for their dumbass opinions on things and just do your shit.

Think something’s funny? Go and do it. Show it to your friends. If they have the same sense of humor, they’ll laugh. Show it to some girls, they’ll laugh if they’re into your shit. That’s how it works.

Socialization is rough, bro. It doesn’t always work out. You’ve got to try shit. Sometimes you get rejected, sometimes it’s a hit. That’s just how it flows. Experience real life, my man. Get off your phone and touch grass.

subsidize women

What does this mean in the context of fitness tests and standards?

Oh, no, the consequences of my actions. I didn’t think I’d see them in my lifetime. This is so unjust!

I understand. I was mainly just making a joke.
