We’re supposed to believe that these “job creators” and “titans of industry” are next level geniuses who clearly rose to the top on only their merits (and bootstraps) while they were seemingly incapable of predicting that a 2nd Trump term would be a financial disaster? I hope all these ghouls who donated to our dear fascist get everything they deserve.
If the feds won’t pay out maybe everyone in the blue states should quit paying federal taxes?
41% approving is way too high. WTF is wrong with people? And 51% approved of his handling of gender and trans people? What in the actual fuck? I am so deeply disappointed in my fellow Americans
You can always bag yourself, they will absolutely let you do it.
Oh, you’re right. He is originally from El Salvador. I think I may be confusing him with someone else, I thought they sent some Venezuelans to El Salvador.
And it isn’t deportation. Deportation is sending someone to another country, generally the one they originally came from and where they hopefully have citizenship. This is paying some completely unrelated country to imprison someone with no legal avenue for due process or release. The best description I can come up with is kidnapping and imprisonment abroad.
ETA: it’s been pointed out that Mr Garcia is originally from El Salvador so this isn’t one of the cases where we’re sending Venezuelans to an unrelated country. It’s still super fucked up since the dude had legal status and no criminal record and no due process. Is El Salvador just a lawless dictatorship? The CIA just completely fucked up Latin America for generations :(
Tiktok is considered a National Security threat that must be banned because it will give our data to China. Let’s see if Zucc faces absolutely any consequences. I won’t hold my breath
“Fuck the poor but I do like to smoke weed”
I saw that some bodegas in NYC are selling egg loosies. They referred to them as loosies but they were 3 eggs in a plastic bag.
Out of a cannon? Into the sun?
Aww. It’s heartwarming to see how well you care for your pup.
Dogtism :) I use the term pawtistic. One of my pups is very pawkward and possibly pawtistic. She definitely has some social challenges but has grown a lot over the last few years.
That said, I think dogs generally prefer routine so some amount of favoring the familiar could be normal for a dog.
Is this real? Why is it so poorly written? Was the letter dictated by Trump from the toilet?
Cows are getting avian influenza. Farm workers are getting it from the chickens and cows. There is concern that people may eventually catch bird flu from raw milk. The more people get infected, the greater the odds that a mutation will develop that allows human to human transmission. Unfortunately, we may, yet again, have all of our lives and livelihoods threatened by people too ignorant to take even the most basic precautions for self preservation.
I make yogurt all the time with pasteurized milk. Why would “thin yogurt” require raw milk? I have read that you get a thicker yogurt using regular pasteurized milk instead of ultra pasteurized milk, but I have had zero problems making yogurt with either.
She deserves criticism for that but she still does a lot of good and should not be discounted. Saying “if only” kinda sounds like “I would like this good thing she’s suggesting (the subject of the article where they are responding “if only “), if only she didn’t do something I disagreed with once”. A more productive tact would be “I still don’t like that she didn’t support the striking rail workers but the plan she describes here is …”
I remember back when Elmo took over Twitter and advertisers could be shamed into quitting. But slowly they all crawled back. Hopefully it will stick this time.
I can’t wait until store shelves are set up like those janky pressure sensitive hotel minibars
Since Zuck, Musk and whoever runs Google didn’t lobby heavily to get TikTok banned in India, the users had no reason to be super salty towards those platforms (aside from the usual reasons to hate on those platforms). Over 5he last week I saw as many people on TikTok saying to follow them on Instagram as I saw people saying fuck Zuck, I’m not using Instagram Reels (one dude said he’d rather “walk barefoot over molten glass legos”)
If the test came back with unexpected results, it would imply that you were cheating on your BF (assuming it’s a monogamous relationship) and hiding it, therefore, being dishonest. So in a way, the request for a test can be considered accusing you of cheating and lying. So I can see why it would feel insulting and humiliating.
Looking at it from your BF’s parent’s perspective, even if they think you are the most amazing and honest ray of sunshine, it’s their responsibility to look out for their son. And life teaches us that people who seem wonderful can sometimes surprise us and even the most solid relationships can fall apart. 18 years of child support is a lot of money ( $100k+?). Maybe you will have a long and happy marriage or whatever but they have to consider the possibility. So before their son potentially signs up for a $100k+ commitment, I can see why they would want to trust but verify.
Regardless, it isn’t reasonable to expect 18 years olds to be abstinent. Accidents happen all the time and probably account for like half the human population. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Hopefully, you and your BF can move forward with solid love and support from both of your parents. Good luck!
