Holy shit, Dead Milkmen. I haven’t thought of them for years, thanks for reminding me!

The Olympic-tier mental gymnastics touting conformity in fucking Texas of all places is truly astonishing. I mean, is it personal freedumbs and rugged, short-haired individuality or is it the Stepford state? Make up your gd minds

“We can’t not have poverty, it’s just not biblical”

-paraphrasing this one idiot nationalist christian whose slimy name escapes me atm

Yes, absolutely. But it’s still total garbage that the revelation comes only after her poor son is effected personally. People need to realise and care their shit takes have devastating real world consequences not only for themselves but others around them.

So it does sound like something she chose because…autism or whatever else these types pull out of their ass. It’s heartbreaking for those kids

The way it’s written implies the kid was placed in some sort of DHS “program” (?) maybe a scheduling thing (?), not that the mother was an anti-vax idiot, although it’s entirely possible she was. Either way the poor kid died of a preventable disease. Terrible.

…she said he had been put on a delayed vaccination programme.

I’m not familiar with this. Can any English readers enlighten me? Why was it delayed?

My fellow murricans, it really a free nation if we can’t come together to shoot homeless people in the streets?

I read the disaster insurance in some states are so outrageous or even unobtainable, so private citizens can’t even get a mortgage (no insurance, no loan) anymore-assuming they could afford one to begin with. The only ones who can afford to outright buy in some places are corporations and foreign interests. It’s fucking trash.

They do

What does being a conservative mean in Spain? Is it similar/the same as the U.S.?

“Oh bother! America steals all the hunny!”

I prefer that upstart young firebrand, Mr. Nitup!

Do you want to get Kuru? Because that’s how you get Kuru!

Why can’t I have no kids and three money?!

It blows my mind just how many people support this through their rabid worship of billionaires. Not because they love the billionaires themselves, but that they think in some fevered future they too will be billionaires. Well, guess what? It’s never, ever, ever, ever going to happen and every day that passes the now-billionaires are tirelessly working to consolidate money and power to prevent proles from getting foothold. Stop being morons, and stop working against your own interests unless you’re a masochist then go nuts I guess. Leave the rest of us out of it

There’s a sizeable portion of Americans who are obsessed with making sure people know just how rich they are by purchasing the newest, most expensive toys to show off, even if they aren’t rich. In fact, especially if they aren’t rich. Then when they implode, it’s someone else’s fault.

I’m aware. I was being (somewhat) sardonic

IIRC I read the abstinence thing was instituted to prevent any possible offspring from inheriting church assets. Certainly the billions and billions in church assets are now locked down in an iron clad, convoluted off-shore scheme beyond the reach of pretty much everyone, so no reason to not let priests marry.

Does this idiot think that in the eyes of whoever told him it’s a great idea to try to kill black people that he’s not going to be next? There’s a hate hierarchy but the browns aren’t too far up the pyramid from the blacks.
