Mentally ill woman in her late 30s. Quit my jobs with DIDDs to go to work a retail job and go to school.
I’m here to help!
Formerly @kbin.social.
My boyfriend asked me why I kept helping people when they don’t appreciate me, and I told him honestly that I never help more than is painless for be, but also, I made a decision about who I want to be, and I won’t let other people being assholes change that.
The one in a million person whose life is touch, who really needed it, who can live a better, happier life because of me, is worth fifty assholes. Maybe even a hundred.
Not communicating is violence now?
I dream of jury nullification.
Eschew. Materials.
I really enjoyed explaining to a friend that the headline about outlawing child genital mutilation was referring to circumcision.
…that was sarcasm.
I got your joke and enjoyed it. If I’d gotten here sooner, I would’ve explained that it’s the social curse word you’re only allowed to know if you’re old enough.
I gotta weigh in on that “weirdly antagonistic tone,” too. You literally said you’d list more but you doubted that person would read it? Just antagonistic all over.
You started it!
“I made fun of everyone.”
Did he make fun of Trump supporters? Or… white people in general?
The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.
Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.
My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)
Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?
I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!
I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.
I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.
This is why trust busting is supposed to exist.
I made an off-hand comment to someone recently about how they needed to remember that these fascists would make him the first against the wall, and he asked me what that meant… and I became so uncomfortable, realizing how sheltered he was.
I don’t understand how we got here. I don’t understand how people are so… unaware of how easy it is, and how close they are to danger.
JD, your username is also a woman’s name.
You started with “no one is changing their mind,” and then went on to say there’s only leftists on this platform… so then why are you posting at all?
Literally gave a speech earlier tonight about the damage that this, combined with losing the Fairness Doctrine, did to America.
You’re cuter than Tom Cruise.
Same episode that gave us the amazing, “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”
Being bi is literally the best of both worlds. It’s the sexual equivalent of being born wealthy.
Gun rights advocates love to say shootings are a mental health problem.
Maybe health insurance should prioritize mental health.
