What a coincidence...I also quit LARPing when it became apparent that I was going to become bankrupt if I continued it. The difference, of course, was that I was fully aware that I had no power or authority and that it was all make believe.

Did the freightliner carrying the plastic trash shoes to port sink or something?

For the record, I personally love meeting and engaging with tourists, telling them about great places to check out in my town...I'd rather share time and space with a foreigner than a member of the Shit-Flinging Orangutan Cult any day. But I fully support a top-to-bottom boycott of this whole-ass country by the rest of the world. Bring our economy to its knees, please. Americans need a whole damned lot of humility.

Will it not come to fruition?

Are you still attempting to influence that adage becoming well-understood by the common man? I dare say that I don't believe that will come to pass.

I have known a couple who were anti-US when they went in. One had very few other options financially, and the other figured why not get their education on the country's dime, get trained on how to be stronger and how to fight, and then use those talents to do their part in bringing down the system once they got out. Even while they were in, they were training people on the outside. One of their trainees was a top operative in Seattle in 2020; they kept the cops at bay in the Capitol Hill Autonomized Zone (CHAZ) for a month.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying don't be wary of enlisted people...definitely be wary. Just don't paint with such broad strokes. Some have needs, some have reasons, and some are in the process of becoming radicalized.

If I ever form a politically-themed comedy band, we'll be called John Barron and the P-Tape All-Stars.

"The sour taste in your mouth is blood. Because of the festering sores in your mouth. Which you contracted by suckling the micropeen of a cheating, raping misogynist who ran on a promise of ruining your life. But hey, at least your grandkids disowned you and your social security is about to not exist."

What's so great is that they don't get to blame Biden or Democrats in any way for this. There is no wiggle room here, and they have to contend with that and confront their cognitive dissonance.

Option 1: Trumpsk unfairly fired you in spite of you being a good and efficient worker. Dear Leader(s) is/are at fault and fallible.

Option 2: Trumpsk fairly fired you because you are a poor and inefficient worker. You are at fault and deserve what came to you.

Is in network with your insurance plan. Treats the condition you are concerned with. Has good reviews. Pick 2.

I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1), Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Attacks, and Major Depressive Disorder in Partial Remission. Ghost networks are the bane of my fuuuuucking existence. You know what's monumentally hard to do when you are a depressed autist with high anxiety? Endlessly and fruitlessly search for care related to those conditions.

FUCK insurance companies, and FUCK Republicans for propping them up.

It opened in 1931 and underwent a major renovation in 1997. Apparently, the water usage is sustainable (see below), but it still doesn't excuse the fact, in my mind, that continuing to support the upkeep of a green-ass golf course at the edge of Death Valley shows how out-of-whack its patrons are with the changing climate.

"In an area as hot and dry as Death Valley, balancing water usage with conservation requires significant planning. Furnace Creek and its namesake resort exist in their location because natural spring water flows from nearby mountain ranges to create an oasis. By routing the water from one point to others, the resort’s goal is to use the same molecules of water for several purposes. The spring-fed water is first used at the Inn to irrigate gardens and supply the swimming pool which was designed with a flow-through system that minimizes chemical use. That water then continues downhill to the Ranch where it fills the ponds on the golf course, providing habitat for local and migratory wildlife. The water in the ponds then irrigates the golf course." - How Xanterra’s Furnace Creek Resort is Sustainable, greenlodgingnews.com

The former South Carolina governor's remarks were her first on the matter since she dropped out of the presidential race. But she stopped short of formally endorsing her former rival." - npr.org

 

tl;dr - House Republicans are targeting socially responsible investing, including investments that take into account environmental concerns like climate change.

And that’s a threat to them, because what they’re trying to do is to basically stop people from looking at the climate risk from the oil companies. And they’re saying, “Don’t look up.” They’re saying, “Put your head in the ground.” And what we’re saying is, “We need the freedom to invest.” Like, they’re trying to suppress our freedom to be able to make logical, good business choices. And in doing so, at the state level, their harming their own citizens. - Andrew Behar, CEO of non-profit group As You Sow which promotes corporate responsibility through shareholder advocacy, speaking to Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! - March 29, 2024

 

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her.

Edit: To those basically saying she had it coming because she made her OF account public...

  1. Sex work is real, valid work.
  2. There is nothing wrong with sex work. Sex-shaming is Puritanical horseshit.
  3. "But her students could find her OF!" is a problem their parents should have to solve. It is not her responsibility to use an alias, because of points 1 and 2.
  4. Every other argument criticizing her for her sex work during her non-teaching hours is fucking moot.
