As a former evangelical fundamentalist, I can confirm. It’s a common belief. That’s what I believed once upon a time. Fifteen years ago I would have argued with you about it.

I’m job shopping and the effort feels futile. I am fortunate to have one already, although it is quite stressful and the pay is low enough that I must work a part time job as well. I worry about those who depend on medicaid to stay alive and will have the added stress of finding 80 hours of work per month in a depressed market come January.

This is very bizarre.

I’m glad you brought up personal responsibility, however if you’re buying something from the grocery store, unless it’s raw ingredients, it has shit in it. Even then, in the US the only way to completely avoid nasty shit in food is to produce it yourself or purchase from a local farmers market. Unfortunately many people don’t have the resources to do that. But to your credit, we do seem to be developing some sort of allergy to personal responsibility, especially in regards to personal health and fitness.

“So, got any big plans for the weekend?”

He’s actually more like a lich.

Oh for heaven’s sake they would say the same thing about you! Cult members do not think rationally. I know this from personal experience. If the message comes outside approved channels, it is disinformation at best and at worst, the work of Satan. Would you go to OANN for a different viewpoint? I’m beating this horse because I think it’s important to keep straight who the real enemy is: the elite class who is manipulating media and money to keep you and your MAGA neighbors under their heel. Your neighbor may lick the boot while you spit on it, but it’s crushing you both. The only way to turn the tables is to understand why your neighbor licks the boot and find common ground so you can work together to untie the laces and trip the enemy.

Have you watched their propaganda networks? They believe the same things about the left. They think they saved the republic from monsters. They think ICE is deporting murderers. They think antifa is a literal terrorist organization. They think 47 stopped 8 wars. They think these things because they’re in an information silo. No wait, they’re in a CULT. Some people do know that what they’re doing is evil. Most likely those at the top. But the rank-and-file MAGA are brainwashed cult members.

Wait a minute… isn’t that the guy from Home Alone 2?

First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”

Yeah I would be OWNED. Very triggered. It would also piss me off if they did Medicare for all and called it Trumpcare. Grrrr I would be so mad.

All,

I don’t typically use salutations or sign-offs, but I’m gonna start using this.

Anyway,

Cis man here. I occasionally read chick lit and I’m a big fan of the Gilmore Girls, but I tried reading Ms. Plath’s opus and I felt like I might be going crazy too. DNF. I’m glad some people like it, but that shit was weird.

My startup is 2 months away from ASI but we still need $12T seed funding and all of the water in Lake Erie. Pls help.

I’m poor in the USA with a T1D kid. I would really like to go full time in my own business so I can pull my family out of poverty, but it’s the insulin/insurance that holds me back. I don’t want to jump onto ACA insurance when it’s absolutely in the crosshairs of the GOP. Seeing stories like this gives me hope.

Don’t give the capitalists any more bad ideas.

Also can’t stand in line for the food bank at 10:00am on a Tuesday for expired milk, potato chips, and nutrient-dense vegetables like… cilantro.

Does employment involve sharing the gospel of our lord and savior Dracula?

Isn’t there like a church shuttle or something? I’m a poor vampire.

Ok sign me up. Where and when are the meetings?
