Has anybody else been hearing wild conspiracy theories about the upcoming solar eclipse?
My mom told me that she heard that "they" are going to declare martial law and arm illegal immigrants, and there will be a purge-like mass killing during the eclipse.
Googling brings up some stuff but nothing that's quite so, uh, out there.
No. 1933700
>>1933682"They" is usually vaguely the government, but could more specifically be the Democrats, Joe Biden, current evil foreign government of choice (China), Satanists, the shadow cabal, the NWO, the Rothschilds, etc. Whoever could plausibly be motivated and have the means to do such a thing (at least according to their mythology). In this instance I think it's just vaguely the government. Maybe the World Economic Forum (because illegals)?
The person she heard it from is an acquaintance of hers that I haven't met personally but who seems particularly off the beaten path. My mom gets her news from Infowars and Instagram Reels, which do have some crazy stuff, but it's all buried in videos and I don't really want to dedicate a bunch of time to listening to them. I get the feeling this is coming from some niche telegram group or something.

And like they did the other times the world ended. Help them stockpile beans or whatever it is they do. Pretending to believe their bullshit will help to keep you in their good graces, so you can find out in advance if they're planning to do something especially retarded, and they'll listen to your opinions more.
Once you've been initiated into the tard club, gently push them away from the more insane shit by discrediting the creators. Use their own lingo. Facebook is bad because Mark Lizardberg is a secret Thespian spy from the underground cabal of Archangel Lucifer. Fox News is run by the Joos, and you can tell because it's called Fox (foxes are red, just like Satan, and in the Bible, Satan is bad).
I've de-crazied relatives like this. It takes forever, you feel like your brain is melting, but eventually you shut off the sewage being fed directly into their brains and they slowly go back to being normal again.

Thoughts? I'm wondering how this will be enforced
No. 1939116
>>1939045I mean, it's kind of a nice idea, but that will never work. Social media sites just shouldn't even let the option of being under 18 years old be a thing. That would at least make a 1% of honest kids stop using the internet where they will get groomed to hell and back, and will make a 70% of degenerates stop using that age to attract children.
The law will flop, it is surely becoming a meme as I type this and no one will ever consider such an idea to become a reality.
I seriously believe there should be separate social media sites for kids since they still want to experience using the internet like mommy and daddy, but it's the same issue as with the whole age thing, just as how a child can pretend to be 18 years old, a degenerate can easily pretend to be 10 years old.
I wonder if there's ever going to exist some measure to make kids stop using social media.

They then decide how much it is worth (normally less than you could sell it for) and cut you a check.
Personally, I think that if a government declares eminent domain, they should be forced to pay five times what the land is worth to acquire it. We have enough money to throw trillions to our main bitch Israel and our side bitch Ukraine, why can't we pay some farmer a million for a patch of land that the government supposedly needs?

>>1945042I live in a predominately mixed races area and grew up thinking racism was bullshit becasue when little white girl me was bullied in elementary school I got told by the black lady principal that I'm racist because my bullies were two black boys (ignoring the white kids I also called out of course) and something along the lines of "have you considered that you are gross and deserved to be called names?" So I lived the rest of school and university assuming modern racism was a boogeyman that people called when they didn't want to address the consequences of their actions. I've also had black friends both before and after that.
The only time I actually saw racism was when I helped my mixed cousin cosign for a car and the dealer was being nasty because he thought we were dating, but that might have just been him being homophobic thinking we were lesbians.
So when the Grorge Floyd thing rolled around I got confused.

I'm neither Italian nor American but I did go to a fancy Italian place with friends and ordered their expensive ass authentic Italian pizza hoping to be blown away….and I was so disappointed. It was so lame that I wanted to demand for my money back. I had to comfort myself later on with some American style pizza though. Man, you motherfuckers are big and bold in everything you do and that's what I love about you. Keep being awesome my cute little Americans. Make more delicious foods for me.

1) Hard spring water is used to make the dough
2) Fresh made sauce from actual heirloom sauce tomatoes
3) And mozzarella from the milk of happy relaxed cows
I've heard people say that mozzarella from water buffalos is better, but although I loved the taste of it, I preferred the milder taste of cow's milk with my pizza and then balancing it with a more acidic sauce.

>>1945042It's definitely changed in the past decade, broadly speaking the progressive position used to advocate more for racial integration and harmony, but now it leans towards encouraging people to hyperfocus on their race/ethnicity and is basically ok with ethnocentrism and self segregation.

I'm starting to feel pretty blackpilled on racial diversity honestly, race problems get blamed on white people but it's become clear many non-white people deep down don't want to integrate with other races either. I don't know what america is supposed to look like in the future if that's the case

>>1955592 said. But it’s still a super hot issue for people on the left and xitter zoomers who haven’t been appeased by Biden’s lukewarm stances. Biden fails to satisfy both the Zionist lobby AND the twitterfags and Muslim constituency who call him “Genocide Joe.” His own past constituency has turned on him. Who really cares about him at this point? I remember in the last election, some dems would act like you were a fascist if you didn’t vote for Biden, but those times have passed. I really do hate Trump, but the fact is, he didn’t ruin our country as much as other recent Republican presidents have (with the war on terror, war on drugs, etc), so I don’t think there’s as much fear-mongering happening where people act like it’ll be the end of the world if Trump wins again. Of course, I hardly think Trump is going to handle Palestine-Israel any better than Biden since the evangelical lobby tends to be very pro-Israel

right. It's really hard to find anything unbiased that isn't just "He made America great and tells it like it is!" or "He emboldened nazis and transphobes!".
So here are a couple of things he did do:
-Made animal cruelty a federal felony by signing the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act. This expanded federal legislation against animal cruelty and allows easier prosecution of animal cruelty cases that span multiple states. (I had no idea about that one until just now)
-He took a hard stance against China. China was starting to walk all over us with Obama. They steal our intellectual property through corporate espionage (and steal IP blatantly), refuse to allow American businesses operate there, but then have to gall to act shocked when the US tries to do the same.
-Operation Warpspeed. Ironically, he was behind a lot of the funding of the covid vaccine (a bit 'too little, too late' though)
-Tougher on immigration. Of course, some immigration is fine, but we're kidding ourselves if we pretend that we don't have a massive southern border issue that needs to be addressed.

Yes Americans can be retarded, but I feel like we have evolved to understand that everyone regardless of gender can have different levels of ambition. Women have been politicians and CEOs and generally in high profile positions for a while now and it hasn’t made things worse for less ambitious women. The way I see it, women who do have the ambition to assume high achievement have better opportunities to do so thanks to the glass ceiling having been broken in the past. Women who don’t remain unaffected. It’s a net positive for women.

I guess because everyone but his cult knows that he's just saw Republicans as easy targets, and because many farmers see him as a funny circus clown rather than a bigot or Ronald Reagan/Andrew Jackson levels of evil. It also helps that during his pregnancy, he didn't really do all the bad things everyone thought he would when he was first elected Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think the worst thing to come out of Trump's pregnancy was him appointing the judges that would go on to ban abortion, which he did promise to do in 2016. That's one of the only promises he made good on.
Now someone on here supporting Desantis or Haley would be an actual surprise.

>>1984081in my first shitty apartment, my next door neighbor was a hoarder. When they moved out and they had to hire trash collectors to clear out their apartment, I guess the roaches were looking for a new home because they fucking SWARMED me. Crawling up the walls in the middle of the day, I even found one in my bed once.
They started living in my fridge and microwave, I'd find squished roach bodies behind the plastic covering the button panel on my oven. I became scared to turn on the light at night because you'd see dozens skittering into the shadows. I was too grossed out to even use my kitchen so I started eating exclusively premade stuff from the grocery store.
I tried every type of bait on the market, diatomaceous earth, glue traps, pesticides, resealing any holes, fumigations, professional pest control visits etc. but they kept coming. I still had 4 months on my lease and I had no where else to go. I tried to contact the office about letting me move to a different unit because mine was a biohazard and they ignored me.
Not to mention the neighbor from hell was also an animal hoarder and let loose about 12 cats to run around the apartment complex once they left. With the help of my neighbors we neutered all of them, adopted out the tame ones and we took turns feeding the feral cats that now just lived outside.
Once I finally got to move out that shithole I had to leave all of my furniture behind because I was terrified of taking eggs with me. I was taking apart a table and found roach corpses inside it so everything I owned but my clothes and valuables was taken to the dump.
I still have nightmares about living there, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Hunting for a new apartment took ages because if I saw even a hint of roach poo or egg I was out and surprise! most low/mid price apartments have roaches apparently.

As for winters I don't mind them only because where I live the city actually takes care of the roads instead of letting potholes and open sewage fuck your shit up and drain your bank account getting tows, the worst thing is just the fact there's no waffle houses, huddle house, or gas station chicken but it seems like a good trade off for not being surrounded by pedos, meth heads and my piggy bank is full

I remember going back and eating at my fav restaurant and the gourmet corndog got turned into some microwave crap while doubling in price. the burger shop stopped doing specials where I can get a float and hamburger for 5 bucks, farmers markets tripled, etc etc
and shocker, the employees that kept these place upfloat all had to move somewhere else these businesses started shutting down and everyone's abandoning the town now. it's not "healing" though they aren't bothering to sell the homes or rent them out for cheaper, they'd literally rather keep all their crap on the market for years than to lower the price. These rich people quite literally expected the poors to scrimmage for housing, live in the woods or something else instead of, I don't know, making affordable housing options?

>>1985522We moved to completely raw land (no hook ups) and had to start from scratch, and it was pretty hard. The permits were annoying, the inspections were annoying, and finding a contractor who won't lie or cut corners is a full time job unto itself. Most places will require septic permits, proof of water service, and a driveway permits before you can apply for a building permit for the mobile home to be on your land. Still, I recommend it because after years of hard work, it has paid off a thousand times and I own a house worth far more than I would ever be able to afford or buy today.
>>1985523>the cheapest build was like 150kThere's a difference between a trailer and a manufactured home. You're looking at manufactured houses, but if you're looking for cheap you either want a used camper or else a used mobile home. A camper is easier to move and can be pulled from place to place but is very small, a mobile home/trailer can be moved but it requires a special company and costs $4,000-$6,000 each time you move, and a manufactured home is a house that is built elsewhere and then moved to the final property only once. You could in theory move a manufactured home to a different place once it's settled, but it would be roughly the same cost and effort as moving a regular house to somewhere else.

>only helps people 80% under the median housing cost for the area they live in>only helps if you aren't in subsidized housing or voucher based housing>doesn't help consecutively month to month, must apply month to month with paperwork detailing where money went>demands receipts>demands you sell your car or TV because it's considered a "luxury" before they assist>cannot make over a certain amount to continue to receive UBI>people as a result are stuck in the income bracket to continue receiving UBI, no incentives to make more to stop receiving >fraudsters abuse the system and the government turns around and punishes all of us for it>jeff bezos somehow gets UBI No. 1986041
>>1985991It will not work because the people in charge do not want it work. In order to make it work, there would have to be very strict laws involving the cost of food and housing. Basically, you would have to make it law that rental and house prices can only cost so much of the UBI. If the rent goes one penny over, the house is immediately seized and sold at auction and the landlord imprisoned. Then, food can only have a certain profit margin. Anything beyond that profit margin is seized and the company completely disbanded. Strict and punitive laws would be the only way to keep greed in check. And obviously these type of laws could only happen under a dictatorship.
As it stands now, if we tried it, it would merely create inflation as all companies would then raise their prices because they know people need food/water/shelter to live and they know we now have exactly this much more money, which would devalue current assets and savings, leading to worse living conditions and increased crime for everyone.

THEN YOURE NOT HOMELESS" then hang up, basically expecting you to destroy all your friendships before you seek help first, even if you have a car they'll press you to sell it because "you have a little bit of money" even though the entire state is 100% car dependent. Another one will wait until you have an eviction notice to pay for rent (most eviction notices are 2-3 days here) and guess what theyre only open 3 days a week so unless you're lucky enough to get the notice on a day they're open you'll just be evicted.

And they want you to be half-a-step away from homelessness. Not only that, but they look at the FEDERAL definition of "homelessness", which means if you're couch surfing or you're in a hotel, you're "technically" not homeless. They have to abide by this absurd definition coined in the late 70s to continue getting funding. I love how, during the pandemic, there was a rent assistance program, but there were no laws regarding evictions, so these landlords would wait months for late rent and then get fed up waiting for the overworked and underfunded program to give them the money. So they'd evict the tenant anyway. Awesome. Then the rent assistance program would refuse to give you rent assistance because you need to do an entirely new application now that you're homeless! And that'll take 3 months to review, have a nice day!
