Things have gotten worse on the internet.

There is an entire population of people that don’t live perpetually online…you know? The place that gives a platform to the loudest most annoying people?

Whatever. I really only ever comment because sometimes I like writing.

Live in your pretend land.

So much for the “freedom of speech not freedom from consequence” crowd.

It’s only ever bad when the consequences hit someone that you judge is in the right.

When your base doesn’t care about anything but checking boxes, leadership does just that.

Not serious?

I’m sorry that you have been made to believe that an expensive 3 day hospital visit is the one and only way that a human can give birth, but the fact is: that’s just the most comfortable and convenient way of giving birth. That’s why it’s so expensive.

I would label the person who believes there is no way that a human can give birth to another human without recent medical advancements as “not serious”.

How has this species survived for so long?

Pretty sure a human can birth a child for free.

Oh, you mean in a fancy hospital with modern conveniences developed by scientists to make the process as comfortable and hassle-free as possible?

Again, humans have been procreating, WILLINGLY, in conditions worse than anything you have or will ever experience because they WANT a child. They WANT to procreate.

Not wanting that is fine. Just stop blaming others.

realizing I’ll never be able to afford them

realizing I’ll never be able to afford them without sacrificing the slightest inch of my current lifestyle

FTFY

I don’t fault you. You do you. Just stop blaming the economy.

People have been willingly having children through times tougher than anything you have or ever will experience.

You just don’t want kids. And that’s fine.

Just stop scapegoating the economy.

Yeah!! Spend your money on a completely pointless lawsuit!! Fill some lawyers pockets instead of helping your citizens!!

Remember: the most important thing to professional politicians is optics! It’s what fools the morons into thinking you are doing something good!

Of course not. Not anyone that doesn’t have any dependents.

You all get to do almost nothing all day (except post weak takes on Lemmy) and act like you are carrying the economy on your back.

Fuck off. The adults have people who depend on them.

So you are a non US citizen trying to meddle in the daily affairs of US citizens?

I see you Temu Elon Musk!

I believe the official terminology is “Santorum”.

Petite feet, feminine step! Sounds just like a lady when he walks into the room!

California? You mean the state owned by the tech oligarchy that is (according to you) the current ruling class of the entire country?

🤣 You people crave an enemy so much, you can’t keep your stories straight!

There is. The Switch cannot push graphics like the PS5 Pro, but is still one of the best selling consoles in history. Most Nintendo produced games are graphically basic, but so well stylized and optimized that nobody cares! They are good fun games.

Literally every celebrity, news anchor, commentator is performative and opportunistic. That’s how you get ahead in that world.

I can already see the responses:

“But not the ones that I agree with tho!!”

Nintendo people: First time?

All of the statues that got wrecked would like a word.

I hate self important douche bags who are so used to basking in their own fart clouds that they can’t see how sanctimonious they are and can’t come to terms with the fact that maybe their fart sniffing ideology doesn’t work for all 300M other people in this country.

Especially when they turn around and call their political opposites sanctimonious fart sniffing hypocrites without acknowledging their own hypocrisy. It annoys me.

See the nation is healing already!

Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

For salaried workers.

Salary workers almost never get paid overtime and generally make more “per hour” than the standard hourly wage already anyway. Also, you literally cannot be forced to work more than 40 hrs a week when salaried. This is also the terms that are agreed to by both parties (usually by contract) before employment begins. Kind sounds to me like if you want to be a salaried employee AND make overtime, that you should negotiate that before beginning employment.

I’m not getting the argument here.

…already done.

You understand that he was President once already?

And that you guys said all of the same shit the first time around?

And here we still are?

Member?! I member!!
