  • Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.

    Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.

    But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.

    I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.

    No one gives a fuck what’s in their pants.

    Doubt

    Clinton is as racist as Trump and Harris is as evil.

    You gotta be outta your goddamn mind to believe that.

    People, the average American voter apparently, are just dumb as hell honestly. Like straight up I think the people voting for Trump just got brainwashed and live in an alternate reality because their media literacy and just … Comprehension of reality and complex topics … Is really really bad. That or they’re just actual shitty people who believe in his policies and opinions. I’m not sure which is worse.





  • Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.

    Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.

    Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.

    You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.




  • Man I had a hard time understanding his vocals but that might have just been the sound mixing on the broadcast. Heard that it was clearer on YouTube or other places to watch just the performance by itself. Probably easier to make out in the stands, no idea though.

    If I listened real hard I caught some of it but that’s probably also because my ears are not tuned well for a lot of hip hop just in general I have a hard time picking up lyrics for a lot of rap artists.

    Still, you’re spot on with the racism perspective - honestly it’s just people whining it’s not “their” kind of music. Ok, well, taste is subjective and I thought it was a banging show even if I didn’t clearly hear everything he said. Conservatives just want to be racist but pretend they’re not racist. When I hear someone say, “I’m not racist,” 95% of the time it’s because they’re racist and said or did some racist shit.



  • I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics.

    That right there is why I’m really worried about the next 4 or more years right now as a citizen of the USA. Like, we’re just going to create this power vacuum through dumbass Don’s executive fun time and China will happily exploit that and lap up the material rewards.

    I feel like I’m watching a game of Civilization get played by a moron. It’s excruciating. Only way any of it makes sense is that Trump literally is a Russian agent because otherwise why the fuck is he trying to drive our country off a cliff?





  • Thank you for the lengthy write up. You see though the problem with watching it all is I’d be watching it all… I do appreciate the time it must have taken for this reply though.

    That clip on YouTube you linked was super cringe. Agree with you on TNG there’s definitely times and episodes where I think the writers phoned it in and I’m not going to pretend it’s all good. Still my favorite star trek but I don’t watch much so that’s not saying anything considering I haven’t even seen any of the new stuff.
