No historical event that mirrors these circumstances?? Are you joking?

If the US got their shit together and banned firearms at any point in the last 30 odd years things would have been a lot better though. Like the rest of the civilized world did.

Why is the American reaction to every single issue “just get a gun”???

I dunno my friends are pretty solid with emotional support when drunk or sober its not that complicated

I know shes a bigot and hates trans people, but i do think people are overlooking the fact that this was a kids series. This wasnt meant to be read and deconstructed and analyzed by adults.

When I read the books as a kid I really enjoyed the world. Some things made me pause or think, but for the most part it was a fun adventure. When I read it again in college, I couldn’t get through the first or second book because of how poor I found the writing.

But again, it is a children’s book. I dont reread Famous Five or Noddy anymore either. I used to love the Redwall series, but when I went back to read a couple last year I found I couldn’t get into it as much as I did when I was 10.

Are they the best books or even the best kids books in the world? Definitely not. Is she a brilliant writer? Definitely not. But were the stories engaging and fun and did they give a lot of children an intro to reading and fantasy? 100%. They became popular because even kids who hated reading enjoyed these stories. She might be a miserable awful person now but that doesnt change what these books did for a lot of good people too.

Yeah maybe its the job of the politicians to go out and get peoples votes and listen to what they’re concerned about rather than just sitting there saying well you have to vote for us cuz that guys worse

Oh no! Its not like the dems didnt drop the equivalent of 5 nuclear bombs on gaza anyway…

Funny how Biden brought up price gouging but then never acted on it

Funny how they brought up corporations buying elections and then never acted on it.

Funny how they could have enshrined abortion or medicaid into law and decided not to because they couldn’t even get their own house together to vote for it because they’re all paid for by corporations and Israel.

Funny how they couldn’t do the basic moral thing and not finance fully a genocide.

Funny how they didnt reach across to any left leaning voters but instead paraded around a family of genocidaires. Funny how they kept leaping to the right instead of even trying to stay as a democratic party.

Funny how they’ve rigged their own elections since Obama in 08.

Could argue that everyone who didnt give a fuck about genocide because it didnt directly affect them voted to kill 100,000 plus people.

Could argue that the same violence happening in Gaza, the same thought process, is exactly what’s happening here. The violence committed 3000 miles away for decades under US rule is coming home to roost.

If Americans were so pissed off about trump they would be out in the streets protesting every single day. But they’re too fat and lazy and dont know how to protect their rights. So if you want to sit there and be dickslapped by democrats pointing at Republicans and aaying they’re bad while half of them vote alongside them at every single point, then ya good luck. You’re not gonna go anywhere except further right. Get in an actual left leaning party with an actual.policy that isn’t “keep the status quo that has failed consistently going” and you might have a chance to have a democracy again.

You’re totally right there’s absolutely no evidence of a vast majority of women being physically attacked or assaulted after rejecting a man who couldn’t handle rejection…

Also if you got a thousand rejections before getting one yes then that might be a huuuge reason to look at yourself and how you come across. Hundreds of thousands of rejections have to be because of the person themselves, not the hundreds or thousands of people rejecting them.

They distinctly did under Obama and in the first two years of Biden. They just complained and fucked up

That’s still an absolutely wild statement to be honest. Only 60?

Can you please just fucking not

We need someone who is actually going to make some changes, not another return to a milque toast centre right 70 year old white dude

I just un-installed it

Anyone know what Android System Intelligence does? Should that be un-installed as well?

The fact that it is not mandatory should not even register with anyone with half a brain cell.

The US is just so stupidly backwards and going even further in that direction that it’s even an option to not vaccinate your kids.

All that’s going to happen is that this country will push out all the intelligent people who will want to leave for somewhere with some intelligence and the oligarchs will be left to rule over a blatantly stupid populace who force themselves into slavery

If all people did was post things online then there is no chance in hell anything would change.

According the article she came out of the bathroom and collapsed so you can’t just leave her in the aisle to be fair

It is really wild that they didn’t have the other passengers put into new seats even after they asked though

Wait what did Tarentino do/say? I didn’t hear that one at all

Thing is there are quite a few games you just can’t play without PSPlus

Which is absolutely shitty but if you’re like me and you don’t game crazy heavy, just play a couple games here and there, and one or two of the games you actually enjoy requires ps plus to work, you’re out of luck.

I generally don’t use ps plus for anything else - once in a while they have a free game that’s really good, but in general I agree it would not be worth it if it was not for the fact thatbthey stop you playing certain games without it.
