Then I bought ribs from some fat black guy

food that fat black guys make is either the most disgusting poverty slop imaginable or the best god damn food you've had in your life

there is no inbetween

Equity sounds nice but it is an incredible cancer. Imagine Hussein Bolt having a draw with a 92 year old grandma in the 100 meter sprint not because she was fast, but because he was forced under the full weight of the law to not be allowed to move faster than she did.

All Equity does is spread division, hate, and doubt of your coworkers abilities. It also leads to extremely unqualified people getting into incredibly important roles where lives are on the line.

Vance has already aged from campaigning. By his second term as President he'll probably be silver-haired or bald.

One of the remarkable things through our history is how much the Presidency ages the incumbent. They all go shocking grey before leaving office.

and right off the heels of covid causing the available workforce to plummet and giving average workers the ability to have options and make demands

poor corporations that rely on a desperate underclass and slave labor to pad their pockets. it's going to be a rough four years for them

Shut off the H1B tap and watch as all tech wages spike too. Ever stop to ask yourself why the US sciences, tech, and academia are filled with citizens of enemy nations? Yeah, it's to drive down wages. There's hardly any pushback on our children being educated by and competing for jobs against our biggest enemies. Fyi, H1B is basically just jeets and chinks. Even permitting these hostile nations to be educated in the US created their existing tech sectors.

Why are you filming this in a Lids? If I'm gathering this right, her father is illegal and her mother is a citizen. They've had at least 20 years to get that straightened out and yet did nothing.

Sounds like a fat Karen and her soyboy boyfriend. Maybe the places can hire the people from the area, pay them a decent wage, and help improve the impoverished rural areas. Nope, gotta keep my illegal slave labors around.

Pretty sure that a state/county fair being a ticketed event that happens once or twice a year is not some secret personal definition.

You can insist all you want that the norm for cheap dining in America is fresh bread, fresh potatoes, fresh meat, and handmade sauce, but it straight-up isn't. Cheap dining in America is McDonald's and gas station roller dogs. You can insist all you want that frozen chicken at American sit-down restaurants is a rarity, but there are a zillion shitty Dine Brands chain locations that say otherwise. Only restaurants in the hemisphere where I got served factory-bagged tortillas are in America.

The reality is Kraft, Wonder, Hostess, McDonald's, and other industrialized food brands changed American food culture significantly in the postwar era, and going to the state fair to eat some deep fried bread dough doesn't really change that.

this is why gen x did the whole crunchy granola health food movement because their silent generation parents were eating nothing but white bread and bologna and all of the peanut butter had the consistiency of vegetable shortening. the baby boomers were not eating well either, but they lived on expensive tv dinners. which is why when it was time for their kids to grow up, they too had a health food movement, but it was just taking the crunch granola stuff and mainstreaming it so they could be sold as tv dinners.

Kurt Vonnegut warned about the end-result of it all the way back in the sixties.

Harrison Bergeron - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

well worth reading the original (very short) short story, if you read a short wiki article or a mediumish A&N post you've read more text that the story
decent live action version in a public tv thing that was sort of a Vonnegut megamix, okay-ish live action movie for Showtime that would have been a better 45m Twilight Zone, also was heavy inspiration for a story in My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic

Dr. Phil and Tom Homan are now personally getting into the deportation action

yeah "also Doctor Phil is there too for some reason" seems about right for clown world

My understanding is that Vonnegut wrote "Harrison Bergeron" as a satire of what he saw as conservative pearl-clutching baseless fears about the slippery slope of egalitarianism leading inevitably toward communism. I'd like to think that if he were still alive, he would have to admit, however reluctantly, that many of the objections he raised were not only legitimate but depressingly prescient.

yeah afaik it was meant to be something of a shitpost about dystopian future stuff more than any sort of legit WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY however right the underlying premise seemed to turn out

 

[DumbDude43]

i didn't even expect trump to win, seeing him pump out a decade worth of policy within his first week in office is fucking surreal to me. it feels like one of those 'too good to be true' dreams
i am extremely glad for americans, they now have a much brighter future ahead of them than the rest of the world
and with some luck, these current events might inspire good things in other places too

Honduras is threatening to kick US troops out over mass deportations.

How is this a bad thing?

homemade dough I watched them make last October

Normally you want to use the dough within a day at most.

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

All in all, not sure how I feel about this I personally volunteer troons for infantry only positions.

Mine sweeping/clearing duty, for sure.

 

[prolapsed_cranium]

What I love most about this skull fucking of Colombia is how it's happened barely a week into Trump's second term and was an almost instantaneous response. There's no more excuse to think Trump doesn't mean what he says - this isn't negotiation anymore, it's a baseline and anyone not agreeing with the US position will suffer for not complying. I really don't think Europe and Canada especially are ready to handle this because it's a complete 180 from Trump's first term and guarantees some very difficult decisions to come.

Case in point I'm starting to think that talk of increasing NATO GDP funding to 5% is simply the wedge into making Denmark cede Greenland and forcing Canada into an economic union. Neither can pay, but unlike 2016 Trump both are going to pay with what Trump actually wants whether they want to or not.

He's going to settle all of America's business.

Trump's biggest mistake. He should have allowed them in as front line high risk all troon patrol units.

This is the funniest take I've read in a while.

Sex and the City writer regrets choosing a career over having children

Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell, 60, has admitted that she regrets choosing a career over having children as she is now 'truly alone'.

www.dailymail.co.uk

This book and movie series 'empowered' an entire generation of women.

 

[Bucephalus]

How is this a bad thing?

Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras is the only military base we have in Central America (not counting the Caribbean). If we wanted to say, drone strike cartel leaders and their residences in southern Mexico, SC would be the best staging point we have for such an operation.

I like laughing at thing's like this too, but sometimes people just make the wrong choice, She didn't push for DEI or anything like that did she?

That one dumb cunt crying about her dad. "It's not just criminals, they're coming for everybody" or whatever she said — YOUR FATHER WAS DRIVING WITHOUT A LICENSE. Is that not a crime? No wonder the roads are so dangerous anymore.

 

[Debbie Macomber]

I hope the External Revenue service happens because for all the shit we get for "The American Empire!" were sure don't get the benefits of one!

It's just America footing the bill for U.N. and N.A.T.O. while all the other countries enjoying our protection consider their financial obligations optional, all while bragging about the healthcare systems they can afford by not having a military, and mocking America for being in debt while it pays their share of the bill yet again!

From now on, it should be if any "ally" wants to hide behind America, they have to pay tribute directly to the empire, not America paying for the privilege of being THEIR free security!

What's worse, for all this talk of "oil wars" we sure don't get the oil. We just "intervene" to help one extremist Islamic prick overthrow another extremist Islamic prick in the hopes he'll sell the oil to us when all's said and done, but after decades of war and countless troops lost, Oops! Turns out this extremist Islamic prick isn't any better than the last extremist Islamic prick. Better spend trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands more lives over the next 20 years to help another extremist Islamic prick overthrow the last one we put in power, and then he'll be our ally and give us permission to pay him for the oil, promise! The British Empire divided and conquered, but do you think they gave the locals full autonomous control of the land they just fought for and paid a fair price for the diamond mines after that?

No. From now on, if America ever goes into Afghanistan or Iran or Ukraine or Whogiveashitistan ever again, the only result should be "This is Reginald, he is your King, obey him or he kills you. As Vassal of the American Empire, you are to slave away mining for him/oil/coal/diamonds/whatever it was we wanted in this region to pay a hefty tribute to America. If the tribute is ever a day late or a dollar short there will be deadly consequences."

Um, folx?! How can we be deporting the innocent heckin’ illegalrinos?! Independent fact checkers assured me only a handful of apartment buildings had been taken over by the wholesome nacrogangs, well below the minimum threshold to be a problem?!
