Beggars can't be choosers. If they have preferences, get a job.

I mean yes, but how do we decide how much do people get? like a uniform amount?

How much nutrition does the average adult male/female body need in a day? How about for children? What is the demographic make up of a given household?

If you can answer these three questions then answering yours becomes relatively simple I'd imagine. Also being real. People share/trade their SNAP bennies all the time. If you got a bunch of something you dont like, find someone willing to trade for something you do.

The Dick Cavett Show was underrated, in my opinion. I miss old-school shows like this where people just talked.

Dick Cavett was a wonderful host, even now. His questions and comments are engaging for both the interviewee AND the audience. You can tell how curious he is, yet remains respectful throughout.

Contrast that with Barbara Walters, who passive aggressively judges her guests for cheap drama and gets surprised when they get pissed off.

Don’t find it offensive. She’s not talking down to you, her intelligence only goes so high. She’s incapable of not talking like that.
Seriously, she might be the dumbest person currently in the government

I don't know how you can say that when Maxine Waters exists

You may be sitting there thinking "These people can't be that stupid right?"

Yes, they really are that stupid. These people know nothing about history that wasn't force-fed down their throats in history class. You would say the words "Ides of March" and they will stare at you blankly. I would bet you my right nut they haven't opened up a single history book outside of class, this is of course implying they even read anything in the first place. At best, they have only read theory, and at worst they are just literal NPCs that repeat what others tell them via articles and fake news. Their historical "knowledge" extends to maybe as far back as WW2 which is why they focus so much on Hitler. The only other history they "know" are things that push their agenda like the Age of Exploration and Colonialism. I would guess a good portion of them think that white people just sailed up and down Africa kidnapping random poor black people, instead of the historical reality they were sold by the local Kings and Chiefs.

This is why they fail to understand that assassinations of heads of state never go well, or really fix anything.

They are indeed so fucking stupid that they believe all of our current woes, and the current political climate is because of Trump. The idea that this is what "The People" actually wanted doesn't even register in their brains, they also are probably too retarded to realize that the populist movement won't just die off because you got rid of Orange Man. Don't get me wrong Trump is definitely the heavy lifter here, but if they wanted to stop his agenda they should've tried shooting him 8 years ago.

Now it's too late. Even if Trump goes JD comes in, and the exodus of moderates to the Trump camp pretty much ensures we will be dealing with American Right Wing Populism for a long long time. Thank God

Yeah ww2 is bit over rated ww1 is much more interesting.

Doomed world

Going by the calories needed per day to survive based on their height. No more fat fucks rolling around Walmart

My favorite Dick Cavett moment was when he interviewed Lee Marvin and politely inquired how Marvin was wounded in WWII. Lee Marvin replied, without skipping a beat while lighting a cigarette, "yes, I was shot in the ass." I think Cavett was trying to ask what battle.

Stay classy, @Marvin.

People on Food Stamps should be forced to eat the Ford/Fordlandia diet, people would quit living off the taxpayer funded food real fucking quick.

I was today old when i learned that Micheal flipping Bay was a republican.

well...

 

[Netizennameless]

Of course, you can just call us virgins or losers or whatever, but the Democrats already tried that one and it got them a sub-30% approval rating.

This is an extremely gay, extremely virgin and an extremely loser mindset. So many of the people sobbing about how every woman is a whore only pay attention to whores. Meanwhile fat manlets like Ethan Ralph get married and reproduce multiple times over. It's not your looks or your money holding you back, it's your loser passive mindset. That's literally all. Hell, even Chris-Chan pulled a lady. Stop overcomplicating it. And if you think somehow today is worse than the past, Emmitt Till got lynched for hitting on a white woman. He is not unique in that regard, nor was he lynched because of his race. It's always been hard out there for a pimp.

The trick to getting women is like being successful in politics. Lie and hope to god no calls you out. Also maybe brush your hair.

 

[The Ugly One]

Join a church. They still exist.

I go every Sunday. 98% of the population of this city does not. Thus it's not much of a cultural force.

More guys need to accept that a skinny horse-faced girl is the best they can do, but is it really so bad if all your girl wants for Valentine's Day is carrots and sugar cubes?

 

[Crescent Fresh]

I said this before, yet banning certain foods outright immediately is a terrible idea if Trump wants good results in the midterms or a successor in 2028.

Should it be reformed to make people healthier? 100%. Yet actually doing it would be a straight up “losing the bread and circuses” moment for a significant amount of people who would come out in droves to vote for literally anyone else to give them back the food choices which were “taken away” by RFK and Trump.

MAHA should try to focus on cutting out certain harmful ingredients before they do such a thing. It’ll be much harder to get a populace to care if Starburst can’t be as bright anymore or whatever, yet “Trump took our soda and Hot Pockets!” Is going to be a different story entirely.

 

[Stardust_Ziggy]

I genuinely don’t understand these people. “Trump drinks Diet Coke!” No shit, and I’m sure he can afford the $7.60 for a 12 pack. But you know who can’t? SNAP recipients. Water comes out of the faucet, nigger, try it sometime.

Also, yearly (if not quarterly) updates of income, etc

My friend’s mother was on SNAP and had to update every year. And every year she would ask her manager at work to reduce her hours for the month prior to doing the paperwork so that it looked like she made way less than she actually did.

Don’t use lolcows as examples of getting laid. Those are people who use infamy and lack of standards to their advantage. Besides that they’re awful fathers. Ethan Ralph has kids but the pump and dump approach he uses does nothing for nobody.

 

[ZMOT]

Wish someone would have told me that in my 20's. I wound up getting the one chick that was obsessed with Phantom of the Opera.

ever wore the mask in bed?

The Dem's will eventually get their shit together, there is always the chance of another Obama igniting the party.

This can't happen. Progress only moves one way, you can't try and roll back your platform to something more palatable when you've demonized any attempts to do so.
Furthermore, depending on what your definition of "another Obama" is, he's way more likely to be in the GOP than the Democratic party.

Sorry man, but I'm not trying to be like Ethan Ralph, lol.

 

[Jace on ice]

I half way agree and half way disagree, yes bans are unpopular but soda is so insanely fucking unhealthy, it's probably the main cause of the horrific obesity epidemic in the west and a ban or heavy restrictions would unironically be highly beneficial.
