I would think you'd want it around for when you are old, we've already been paying into it our whole lives. It's not saved for us, if it's taken away the next group won't be there to pay for ours. Also why should boomers have theirs taken away when they paid into the system their whole lives? The money they paid was spent. Stopping it screws the generations who already contributed. I'm also not excited about the idea of having to move my parents in because the government decided to stop social security during my lifetime. As far as the government taking it away, I believe that people will freak out if it's just ripped away. People protest and riot for less. A lot of people depend on that money to live and it's not realistic to cut off resources for that many people in a quick amount of time. This is all just my opinion.

Although I think we should tax billionaires, it's not really a cure for money woes.
If the government took literally 100% of Elon Musk's money, it would fund the government for only a few months. They would run out of billionaires much more quickly than you would think.
The problem is high spending. But the left never addresses this issue, and the right only pretends to address it. I wish there was a 3rd party that would cut all the Israel and military spending.

But we still have an insane amount of government money and have way more flexibility than other countries. We could easily eliminate homelessness, pass free education and healthcare, etc with better spending but Americans are so psyoped and masochistic, even if they did pass it Americans would be demanding to bankrupt themselves if they have a tumor within months because "that's the way"

No. 2570731

I guess my problem is no party seems serious about reducing military spending and shifting the spending to social programs. Both parties in congress consistently vote to increase military spending and money for Israel. It's just the left also wants more spending on top of everything else.

I think most of the G4 color changes look better, something about the G1 colors feels very 80’s/90’s to me. G1 has the best body design, I also like how weird they looked in G2. I feel like they strayed too far from the pony base with the stylization of G4 and G5 was/is just awful to look at.
The Mane 6 in G4 were inspired by the characters from the original show but also had major influences from named characters in the G3 cartoon. Rarity was pink and had a bunch of streaks in her hair I remember kek

G1 had the best backcard art style, and I liked that the ponies were more horse-like and the eyes were molded. G2 was just freaky-looking I can see why it was short lived. G3 had the best painted detailed and hair, I loved some of the colorways that were used back then. G4 obviously had the best TV-tie in and characters. G5 is just kind of blah, I suspect it'll be a "whatever" generation the same way G2 was.

The sweetheart sister ponies from G1 are my all-time favorite. Nice colors, equally stylized and horse-like, and I like how they have earring-holes like some Barbies. The only bummer is that they never made any unicorn or pegasus sisters.

The most infuriating thing to me about it is that they have all the necessary social welfare programs like universal healthcare and we don't have any. We should not be giving billions of dollars annually to a country where the people already have a better quality of life than we do. If they can't afford both social welfare and lots and lots of bombs, then they should have to choose one or the other.

It all boils down to lobbying, nepotism (people like trump and reagan should never be president for this reason), and how much power the 1% holds over America as a whole.

>Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, who chairs the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, included the sale of federal lands – a longtime ambition of Western conservatives to cede lands to local control – in a draft provision of the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
>An analysis by The Wilderness Society found that more than 250 million acres currently under the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service are at risk of sale
>Lee’s proposal does not specify what properties would be sold. It directs the secretaries of interior and agriculture to sell or transfer at least 0.5% and up to 0.75% of U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management holdings. That equals at least 2.1 million acres (868,000 hectares) and up to 3.2 million acres (1.3 million hectares).
>Others have expressed doubt that the lands potentially up for sale would ever be suitable for housing development. Some of the parcels up for sale in Utah and Nevada under the House proposal were far from developed areas.
>“I don’t think it’s clear that we would even get substantial housing as a result of this,” Sen.

This would make sense, because large swaths of the land at issue are in Mormon country. Imo LDS is on par with non-fundie Islam in terms of how retarded and fucked up it is. Both were created by perverts who wanted a million wives, both treat women like cattle, both have profoundly bizarre, arbitrary rules around food and clothes.

Pay the big wigs, buy land to build big fancy churches all over the place, advertise to people to try and get more converts so they can make more money and start the cycle over again. Mormons basically believe in the properity gospel (they'll tell you they don't, but they absolutely do) and believe that money is a sign of God's favor. So if you're one of the old farts in charge, you feel divinely compelled to accumulate as much wealth as possible.

Sometimes, later in life, you have the same shift in the opposite direction again.

Trump speaks to the bigotry and hatred in people's hearts, that's why his followers rarely turn away from him. He says what they are to cowardly to do. He's a man who's bragged about sexual abuse, he's made racist remarks, he's mocked the disabled, he's mocked the religious, he's mocked gays and trannies. The way he's boisterous and prideful dispite moderates and the left trying to "cancel" him attracts those who want to see their own hateful thoughts manifested. He gives voice to those people. He's lawless, he'll never face any consequences and his followers love it. The rape, associating with mr pedo island, burying his ex on golf course, deporting all those colored folk… that's what his followers want. If someone you know has shown sign of trump derangement syndrome, the underlying causes are simple: they are a hateful person. Sometimes trump followers can snap out of it but oftentimes not. There's a reason you only see stories like "I used to love trump but then his policies personally affected me now I don't like him". Selfishness and a need to see others suffer fuels him and his followers. Satan isn't a "person" like retards want, Satan in the new testament is their own hate and bigotry. The dragon which gives power to the beast is the wickedness in humanity's hearts.

If she openly rejected it, conservatards still wouldn't vote for her, she'd lose more support from the hugbox left, we'd still have had burning ballot boxes and other tampering, we still might have ended up with this mess. Troons as an issue have been blown out of proportion because they're extremely loud online and shockingly deranged in public. Saying that suppressing troons was more important than any of the other issues affecting women at large is deranged. Hindsight is 20/20 and we can see where that led us. Compared to all the bullshit we have going on now, troons are a fucking flea in a sea of bloated ticks carrying a ton of illnesses with them. None of putting them at the forefront was worth all this.

The problem is troons aren't just one random issue, they were a huge blow to the left's monopoly on being the party of science. And imo, they showed a lot of deeper cracks in its worldview. Thinking men can be women is the logical endpoint of certain aspirational leftist ideas of stateless, classless, transhuman society where everyone is equal and gender is meaningless.

Things that we once believed true get re-evaluated all the time. Or at least they should, because knowledge is fluid, in a way. People need to e willing to re-examine their own beliefs and biases and when faced with sufficient evidence change or adjust them when need be. I wouldn't necessarily say that because the left is wrong on troonism that means to throw the baby out with the bathwater- that's kind of what the other party wants, though, even though they're not offering much better. Lefties also tend to be more empathetic and to think with their hearts than their heads because the pressure of morality is strong in them so they worry about being seen as morally correct rather than being correct in their judgments.

I don’t like MSM either but i always find it funny how people moved on from it to…. social media. Which is arguably worse and more dishonest. I honestly look at social media and MSM but it’s a skill you have to have to be able to tell when there’s actually bias or stuff they’re leaving out. It’s why I try to never mindlessly look at news. You have to be able to “fact check” what you’re watching or reading. Which shouldn’t even be the case because it should all be unbiased as possible, but there’s always going to be disagreements. I know adults younger than me who get all their opinions off of tiktok (with an algorithm designed to piss you off) and you can tell… but when i visited my grandparents they just had fox news on all the time and would freak out over any of the lies being told. I’m not non-confrontational but I never wanna argue with people about politics nowadays because it’s so polarized, you can’t get anything through, so i never bring up how dishonest a lot of it is. But I never really saw people moving away from MSM as people being tired of disinformation, biased news, or stuff designed to piss them off… because social media does all of that and they’re all moving to it. It’s just people moving to another medium

I've come to just realize there's a lot I don't know and most of the people claiming to know don't know either. I try to read all the sources and see what actual facts are in common between the different views presented. I don't know how to convince people most of the information they get from their favorite source is biased as hell. It's so bad.

I'm so sick of hearing how "democrats need to appeal to men". like oh the poor disenfranchised men, the left said toxic masculinity exists? now they need to find a way to get back in touch with you? you poor little babies. this is one of the fundamental diffrences between men and women, how much women will essentially debase themselves for men but men would never do the same in reverse. a literal rapist got voted in for president twice, who bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, whose vice president is openly misogynistic and said childless women shouldn't be allowed to vote etc. then after he was elected people were marching around campuses with signs saying women are property etc. and the right doesn't need to "appeal to women" because there are still tons of women propping them up and voting for them regardless. also, ana kasparian's grift to the right is so embarrassing and cringe, although she was always embarrassing and cringe so I guess nothing has really changed.

First of all this is straight up not true https://www.lastprisonerproject.org/cannabis-prisoner-scale
>They are all violent scrotes
This is also not true. There are nearly 200k women in prison in the US and that number has increased every single year at a higher rate for decades, with the exception of 2020. Not only that, the amount of women incarcerated has increased at DOUBLE the rate of males. While I agree with you that there should be no sympathy for violent moids, there are people in jail for nonviolent offenses like pot, shrooms, shit like jaywalking, the list goes on. Not even just that, but since the United States doesn't use the Nordic Model (As in, we prosecute the prostitutes and not the johns), women are put in jail for prostitution as well. These are women who are typically addicted to drugs and put in the sex trade on average at age 13. Unfortunately we do not live under a government that would only jail violent men, our government is corrupted by greed and a slave to corporate power. So >>2575002 is right: there are actually quite a few people in prison who do not deserve to be incarcerated for profit, disregarding the fact that it is a corrupt motive either way.

That's interesting. I definitely think that putting anyone in jail for just weed needs to end, and using prison labor should be abolished. But I can't get on board with abolishing prison altogether. I know the argument is to eliminate poverty and increase social services to eliminate crime, but I think that's obviously stupid and won't work. Moids are going to moid and rich moids with nothing to want for commit crimes all the time.

It ruins so many homes, and the abusers get away with it because alcohol abuse is totes okay and normal, around your kids too!! It's literal poison.

I can obviously only speak based off of my own experience, and you’re more than welcome to disagree, however disagreeing won’t change reality.

I work in a jail. Nothing about crime is simple or uniform in the United States.

Where I work, usually minor crimes get booked and released the same day. You get a court date and you're free to go. Maybe you stay the weekend, but only people who are constantly fucking up, or who did something violent or reprehensible, get lodged for a long time. We have a very short list of charges that are actually worthy of being lodged. Basically rape, robbery, murder, or any level of assault that is constituting domestic violence, those are the people we hold. Also any type of override, if the judge/officer decides that you really need to be off the streets because you're a danger to the public. But they never do.

Just the other day a guy lit his sister's car on fire and was acting fucking insane, spitting at the cops, banging on his cell door and screaming random strings of numbers. He was screaming and sexually harassing the female deputies for my entire shift. We let him go. Our judge decided that Arson in the Second Degree, Menacing, and Reckless Burning are not charges we should keep someone on. He's back on the street now, probably harassing his sister again. If it's really bad, they stay at the jail until they can get transported to an actual prison. All jails are different, though. I work in the Pacific Northwest. Things are probably different in the south, east coast, etc.

Just wanted to include my two cents, since I do have experience with this kind of thing. I love the idea of the Nordic Model but I just don't think it would work in America. It's a European solution to an American problem, if that makes sense.

It's because nothing is standardized or sufficiently regulated.

Prisons and juvenile detention centers are run by profit-oriented companies who lobby to prevent reforms or improved oversight. Two people can received wildly different penalties for the exact same crime depending on which county within a single state they live in.

Of course, none of this is true, and it's actually just men being less educated but that's how they think because they have a perpetual victim complex.

Different anon, but I personally know a cop that abuses his kids and the protective custody order from the state was dismissed overnight. I don't want to be too specific because I don't want to doxx myself, but this guy would hose his autistic kids down with ice cold water as "punishment" for minor things like missing the bucket when puking while sick. CPS wanted him to lose custody but it didn't hold up, he still has them. Yes a cop will show up to a call like that but ultimately the kids stay with their parents.

It's all opioids and booze. Most of the people who like weed or psychedelics are normies who just partake in their off-time. It's alcohol and fentanyl, sometimes meth, that are causing real problems.

We have had a horrible theft problem, and it's because you can trade Lego sets or household cleaning products for fentanyl or booze. And a lot of these people get into drinking because they wind up homeless and need a way to stay warm in the winter, or they are afraid of falling asleep in front of other homeless people, so they start getting high so they can stay awake. They are afraid to go to sleep around some of these people.

The worst part is that these desperate people are usually being ripped off. Fentanyl is so cheap to manufacture but it is so addictive, people will gladly be ripped off for another pill. I used to work retail security, and people would steal and trade one container of Tide pods in exchange for two pills. One container of Tide pods is worth like TWENTY PILLS! But because they are desperate, they will take the deal that these evil fence stores offer. These addicts are the ones getting arrested and going to jail while the stores they deal with make all the profit. It always felt so good to shut down the fence stores and get those fuckers put in prison. Sometimes it took months of work and documentation but it was always worth it.

Sorry for rambling, I've been thinking about this topic a lot lately.

Yep, basically these fentanyl addicts steal stuff and then trade it to fence stores, corner stores, street sellers, etc., and they get drugs in exchange.

People who never experienced abuse really do act like everyone lives in a fairytale fantasy land where all bad guys get hauled off to jail by heroes. It is so incredibly common for police officers and even CPS to not give a fuck about women and children who are being abused, especially in lower income areas. I don't wanna blog but I have PTSD from parental abuse and have lots of experience with cops and CPS who ultimately did nothing even though my school sent CPS to my house a couple of times. A lot of these people have a mentality of the parent knowing what's best for their kid and always being well within their right to do whatever they want to their own children even if there is substance abuse, neglect, and severe physical/sexual abuse. Cops sometimes frame a kid getting their ass whooped as just the child being punished for misbehaving. Cops can be very cruel to abuse victims. And I'm not going to even get into systemic abuse in family systems but some families will cover for the abuser, allow children to be mistreated, and lie on the abuser's behalf because that's the only thing they know or because they're afraid to be the victim. Some kids get help obviously but pretending many don't slip through the cracks is naive.

The vast majority of criminals in the US are homegrown, ICE won't put the slightest dent in the criminal population. It also takes a certain amount of felonies before you get deported by ice just based of being a felon, they are far more generous than you think when it comes to non-citizens committing crimes, whether they be legal or not. It simply isn't their priority in the first place. They only care if you haven't announced your entry to the country properly, that's it. They aren't the police or the FBI.

>Trials are for actual citizens
By this logic, the entire criminal justice system only exists for citizens, so non-citizen victims of crimes aren't entitled to their day in court, either. Ideally people would be extradited to their country of origin for a trial, but if their country's judicial system is barely functional, that's a problem in and of itself. The problem with the judiciary in the U.S. isn't that non-citizens are given due process, it's that people can declare "asylum" and be allowed to stay here for the two years it takes for their asylum hearing to be adjudicated. That's horseshit, asylum should only be granted for people who are legal citizens of a small selection of extremely unstable, war-torn countries, and immigration courts should be better managed and funded so they can get to all these hearings faster.

Ideally you'd think they'd be more critical and scrutinizing but they are unfortunately humanly flawed. That being said, I don't think it de-legitimizes the things they are correct about, but on certain things, they are factually incorrect whether that be their so-called morality getting in the way or just ignorance.

It's not uncommon for foreigners to randomly get chosen for more thorough screenings at border control.

He's saying Norwegians should make sure anything "not allowed" is not brought into the US. In this case…memes, he's not saying that the guy didn't have his paperwork in order.

Most people get $1000 bails and you only have to pay $100 of that as long as you show up to your following arraignment court date.

Jail Anon again: on the subject of ICE, I can say that some states are more strict about overriding ICE than others. When I get ICE detainers at work I just delete them. I don't even read them. If it doesn't have a judge's signature, it's going in the trash. Sometimes ICE will hang around outside the jail for the person to get let go and then they just arrest them in the lot, and we can't control that, but we aren't just letting people go because ICE sent us an email. They need to go to a judge. Usually when they actually get a judge to sign off, it's because the charge is actually disgusting. I am happy to get scum out of our country, but I want people who are really trying to become citizens to have a chance.

It's so strange to me their first reaction is that they're paying for women to fuck men that aren't them. I always saw government support towards single parents and their children as the idea that the children and their main caregivers need to be protected, or else the foster system will get even more exhausted from the amount of single parents that will either die or need to surrender their children due to medical conditions. Anyone who's raising the future generation of this country deserves to be cared for, regardless of relationship status, so they can give the best and most quality care the child can receive. A mom who has to skip meals and not get medication can't do that. We have the resources to ensure children have good futures but people rather just punish mothers

That law has been on the books since 1973, Abbott isn't responsible for the measure.
Nonetheless, it's genuinely authoritarian and absolutely an example of the type of government overreach Republicans purport to oppose. Fucking absurd that someone can have as many fully automatic weapons as they want, but god forbid someone own too many rubber dicks. Thankfully, this law is never enforced because no DA is retarded enough to prosecute for it. Charges were dropped the few times some dipshit tried to arrest someone for it, but if they hadn't been, the appeals process would absolutely annihilate the provision. Hell, it wouldn't even need to be appealed, because a judge would just throw the indictment in the trash.

The scientific process is a valuable path to truth and objectivity, but scientists themselves are flawed human beings who engage in confirmation bias and self-serving behavior just like anyone else. Gender "medicine" is not the only instance where we see this playing out. Alzheimer's research has been absolutely plagued by methodological problems, which are perpetuated by the replication crisis. Gender research has more of an issue with publication bias, where only pro-trans researchers get funded, and only research with positive results gets published. We know this happens because a lawsuit revealed that WPATH tried to prevent Johns Hopkins from publishing research they found unfavorable.

It's really easy in so far as don't be a dick, look up basic cultural differences (i.e.; Parisians tend to say "hello" and "goodbye" when entering and exiting small shops), and learn the basics if the country you're going to doesn't speak English ("hello", "goodbye", "can you assist me in english?", "please", "thanks", "I don't speak (x) well").

I can kind of understand it, as a lot of social programs are just funding bad behavior. People are supposed to use food stamps as needed and get off of them later, not make a multigenerational business out of it. Children really do do better in intact families with fathers as long as the father is not abusive. Paying people for negative behaviors inevitably creates more negative behavior. It's why homelessness only increases the more money is spent on it.

The average Republican doesn't have very different views on women as the average Taliban member. Yeah there are main differences like no burqas and such. They already make horrendous judgements on women for leaving their homes, first we're thots for going out with friends, then if we do nothing but go to the grocery store, work then home then they'll somehow make weird judgements too. Especially if the woman has kids and for whatever reason, simply left the house without her male partner

They already took away dei, which would have been fine if they didn't threaten to fine companies for pursuing dei, which essentially means hiring anyone who's non white or a woman. Anytime a woman is successful they assume it's dei anyway. There's almost no repercussions for people who abuse and rape women, hell we made a rapist president. The best republicans can come up with is denial or victim blaming, child marriages are still a thing and maternal and infant mortality are sky rocketing in red states (all similar to countries under Sharia law)

I think ideally it should be someone with experience running things (like a business), that isn't just from wealth, unless they have a good understanding of how to manage it. Rich kids are used to money coming from trees and not having to think about this. You can see this in Mamdani's arbitrary proposals like 65 million for trans kids, but also 60 million for free food.

Have you considered that putting any kind of corporate tax, given current loopholes, would fund much of this? He isn't looking to increase to match NJ's: a lot of companies relocate back and forth between JC and NYC to claim losses for tax purposes. Closing these kinds of loopholes would pay dividends and force corporations to actually pick a place to stay. Easy argument is "well, why not just stay in JC/NJ then", no? Easy: nobody wants to commute there because NJT is godawful and talent loss/cost of rehiring and training is insane.

As a New Yawker who lives outside the city, I (luckily) don't need to worry about voting but I'm torn. On one hand, you have Cuomo who is a rapist and will not do much except lick Trump's boots, and Mamdani who wants to defund the police to liberate queers or some shit. To me, these are two incredibly crappy choices but, given Mamdani becomes mayor, at least we would get someone beyond the usual cycle of neolib/establishment dems in office. In fact, I keep noticing a lot of people blaming dems for being insane and voting for him, but no scrutiny for Cuomo who basically did nothing during his campaign except relying solely on name recognition.

Contrary to popular belief, Florida is not all at 5foot elevation above sea level. Bok Tower in Polk county has an impressive elevation (for Florida lol) of 295 ft, almost 100m. The view is incredible! Go north of Orlando and we have gorgeous hilly landscapes here. Is south Florida flat af? Yes, so is the Tampa Bay Area and most places south of polk county. We have areas with decent enough elevation that even from my own self acclaimed Doomer worst case scenario perspective on climate change won’t be underwater for a century or more. Society will collapse way before most of Florida gets flooded kek. South Florida is fucked and so are some coastal zones, but by and large only rich motherfuckers live in the super dangerous evacuation zones that are most likely to be flooded. There are some outliers where disenfranchised and impoverished folks live in mobile home parks that are in evacuation zones prone to flooding/perilously close to the ocean/large lakes/swamps which is very sad but not generally the norm for those areas.

South Florida and Tampa Bay are the most miserable places in Florida by far imo. The traffic is enough to drive you insane.

South Florida I’ve visited a few times and each time I swear I’ll never set foot south of West Palm Beach ever again. The Trumpers on the treasure coast are kinda outta hand though. Orange, Seminole, and (WEST) Volusia counties are probably some of the best places to live in terms of culture and closeness to actual nice/interesting nature that isn’t just the beach. Marion and Lake counties can be neat and nice places too, but the traffic in Ocala is infuriating. Also Atlantic coast beaches are so much better than gulf coast beaches imo, the water in the gulf has been so slimy ever since that fucking oil spill.

I swear to god Tampa and its suburbs are some of the hottest places in the fucking world. You can SEE the heat just sitting in traffic! I fucking hate hillsborough county nonnie.

I may look into it but this time around I paid because my mouth was starting to hurt like hell. I did have the spare savings to do the amount under insurance, but it pissed me off.

Ah sweet, another loss for women's health
>The 6-3 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by the rest of the court’s conservatives was not directly about abortion, but it comes as Republicans back a wider push across the country to defund the organization. It closes off Planned Parenthood’s primary court path to keeping Medicaid funding in place: patient lawsuits
>The justices found that while Medicaid law allows people choose their own provider, that does not make it a right enforceable in court. The court split along ideological lines, with the three liberals dissenting in the case from South Carolina.
>Public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but Medicaid patients go to Planned Parenthood for other needs in part because it can be difficult to find a doctor who takes the publicly funded insurance, the organization has said.
>South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, said Planned Parenthood should not get any taxpayer money. The budget bill backed by President Donald Trump in Congress would also cut Medicaid money for the group. That could force the closure of about 200 centers, most of them in states where abortion is legal, Planned Parenthood has said.

PP was a lifesaver when I had to get a cervical polyp removed that had been causing irregular and heavy bleeding for a month or more, and all the OBGYNs around me were staffed by burnt out weirdos who stopped giving af long ago. "Because of troons" "because of muh abortions", isn't fooling anyone. If that's all it takes to make someone say they don't fuck with PP anymore and that it's grounds to defund them then I seriously have to question if they actually gave a fuck about their fellow women in the first place. But I shouldn't be surprised when people are eager to throw us under the bus just to spite something or someone they hate. Troons aren't worth losing our goddamn rights and healthcare over.

but everything you listed can be obtained from a doctor's office. most people use the doctor's office for basic women's health, telehealth makes it even easier and less shameful. planned parenthood was always for teens to get access to things that possibly their parents would object to, like abortions, which are down. mission accomplished, teen pregnancy is down and parents are more amendable to getting their daughters on birth control as soon as they start puberty, which is why PP had to expand into gender care. this doesn't even get into how questionable birth control really is, and how much lack of research there is from throwing hormones at women for each phase of their life cycle, birth control from 13 to 30, then fertility drugs in 30s, then from peri progesterone to menopause, then HRT from menopause to death. maybe it's common libs who are short-sighted, they never listen to anyone's reasoning, they just default to common reddit clichés "voting against their own interests," "this study jon stewart cited scientifically means conservatives are dumb." maybe the people repeating common slogans are stupid.

Okay, so lots of girls needed abortions, are we blaming the center offering services for them to safely terminate the pregnancies? What should the alternative be? Abstinence does jack shit, even hyper conservative mormons fool around, it's better that people have easy access to reproductive healthcare where they can get low cost contraceptives, medicines, or procedures if they need them, And again, there are other health concerns, not particularly sexual, that teen girls or even adult women may need to see someone about at a low cost center due to a lack of availability in other nearby clinics. Bottom line is, Trump could ban HRT for troons outright but the conservitards don't like the idea of women being in charge of their own reproductive health, much less when the scroids in charge don't even understand it themselves and would love to raise the teen pregnancy rate, despite the fact that biologically miscarriages happen much more often to teens and girls in their very early 20s.

The fucked up thing about abstinence is that women are even shamed for THAT. Moids just start crying "waah how are we supposed to take care of our NEEDS?!" and rush women into unhappy marriages too young so they can have bad, unhygienic sex (abstinence goes hand in hand with no sex ed whatsoever) or use it as an excuse to be hypocritical creeps.

the issue is that planned parenthood is no longer focused on the humanitarian mission of getting girls abortions and is focused on getting girls on testosterone. so much so that the threat of being shuttered doesn't stop them from giving up on prescribing minors testosterone, which is insane because when i got one it was $600 for the nonsurgical procedure, can't imagine what it costs now.

No. 2581549

look if planned parenthood actually stood for it's humanitarian mission of helping girls out of the life ruining tragedy of unwanted children, the administration threatening to defund or shut them down if they won't stop prescribing gender medicine should have been enough for the organization to say, okay we'll stop! women and girls reproductive freedom from men's coercion is our mission and most important goal, but they didn't. it has to make you wonder exactly why that is.

I can confirm this nona's experience, this is how it's done at the Planned Parenthood I went to in Northern California. I had a pregnancy scare years ago and learned about the steps to take but luckily I didn't need one. Abortions are only available on certain days of the week where they try to fit everyone in.

right. It's more unfortunate when the loudest voices in social media and news organizations are only evoking the attention of women and trans people to:
>manufacture consent for some bullshit under the guise of it being for or against the rights of these groups
>virtue signalling to get brownie points with a base they're trying to cultivate
>data so they may sell it
>the conversation to continue endlessly with no real path towards a conclusion - so people may continue to make money and pull influence by evoking the pro-trans anti-trans pro-female anti-female amalgamation.
I really believe we are all being psyop'd by being constantly provoked to have "national" conversations about these topics. It all waters down to hyperbole and disinformation when you see two idiots on TV having a "conversation" about abortion, where they may not even have those beliefs, but are directed by the news organization to play the roles in some kind of high school debate set up. And those idiots will always be able to have abortions and health care or bottom surgery, they have money and connections and can do whatever the fuck they want. What they want us to do is just assign ourselves to teams and suck on their curated slop. I feel so retarded in America. No child left behind so all adults are now retarded

The unemployment rate for degree holders ages 22 to 27 has reached its highest level in a dozen years, excluding the coronavirus pandemic. Joblessness among that group is now higher than the overall unemployment rate, and the gap is larger than it has been in more than three decades.
>The rise in unemployment has worried many economists as well as officials at the Federal Reserve because it could be an early sign of trouble for the economy. It suggests businesses are holding off on hiring new workers because of rampant uncertainty stemming from the Trump administration’s tariff increases, which could slow growth.
>The growth of artifical intelligence may be playing an additional role by eating away at positions for beginners in white-collar professions such as information technology, finance, and law.
>Higher unemployment for younger graduates has also renewed concerns about the value of a college degree. More workers than ever have a four-year degree, which makes it less of a distinguishing factor in job applications.

No HR, no recourse besides trying to take him to court which is usually too expensive and will likely be tossed out as he-said/she-said. Even then, making any sort of fuss could get you blacklisted in your niche. Same sort of shit happens to women chefs all the time and that's in full view of management and tons of witnesses.

It sounds nice, but when guys like this get into power they actually do let ALL of violent moids off scot free. My area has had elected officials who say things similar to this and then walk it back with a similar intellectual argument, but when they are actually put in charge of prosecutions they let all the violent domestic abusers and rapists go free, not just "package thieves" like they claim.

Heres another one from my wonderful state. I can't say it enough. DON'T TRUST THESE MOIDS. These stories have been weekly since 2020 when we got a lot of these types into office. It's always some horrible crime and the violent moid who gets a slap on the wrist immediately goes and commits more crimes. In this case, he killed ANOTHER poor cat. So I don't believe for a second they just mean package thieves because I've seen what they do in power.

Mamdani is a Muslim male. How do Muslim men generally act? Do they love protecting women and giving them a happy and free life? Or do they like seeing women raped and humiliated if they aren't trapped inside their house 24/7? Hmmm. I wonder why a Muslim man would possibly be in favor of policies that let rapists walk free?? Wow, a real head scratcher! He probably doesn't really mean it, guiz!!

Most of the moids who want restorative justice/ prison abolishment want it so they can get off scot free when they get hit with child pornography charges for what's in their browsing history. I don't trust a single one of these SCROTES and i never will.

It was moved due to prop 66, which requires inmates to work to be able to pay restitution to the victims.

It’s phrased badly on purpose so that it can be interpreted however the voter wants to think about it. A normal person can think he doesn’t actually mean it and do the same gymnastics as they do for the defund the police slogan, but the anti carceral people can interpret it as he’s on their side.And this way he can capture both the normals and the extremists. This creates a situation where you never really know what these guys support or what you’re really voting for. And trying to strong arm normal voters by insulting their intelligence if they are concerned about him electing policy he rhetorically aimed at the extremists is not a way to woo them or instill any confidence. It’s bait and switch by design that most people are rightfully leery of. Someone as educated as he is shouldn’t be able to phrase things “badly,” it’s literally a politician’s job to be excel at communication. If he’s making these blunders in earnest, he’s not qualified.

The bill is likely to cut billions of dollars in Medicare funding, though Trump swore he would not touch the program. It strips coverage from authorized immigrants and might trim Medicare’s savings programs, which help poor seniors afford care. An older couple earning $21,000 a year could spend $8,340 more a year on premiums and out-of-pocket costs, according to one projection.
The legislation eviscerates Medicaid, stripping it of $1 trillion in financing and shrinking it by more than 10 million enrollees. The proposal would require 19 million childless adults to demonstrate that they were working or volunteering in order to qualify, and would force them to reenroll twice as often as they do now. Studies have shown that Medicaid work requirements do not raise the employment rate, because most adults on Medicaid already work if they can. They just don’t have fancy white-collar jobs that come with health coverage, such as senator or president.

Kinda. Polygamist Mormons exist but officially the Mormon church disavows the practice of polygamy. Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints are the sect that practices it. There are compounds that are comprised entirely of these communities, primarily in Utah. If you ask a random Mormon they will argue until they’re blue in the face that they aren’t the same and aren’t also Mormons but they are kek. You (probably) will never meet a FLDS member unless you live in a Mormon majority community in Utah so it isn’t like they’re proselytizing in the way the more vanilla Mormons do.

Tbh pornsickness is just as big of a problem amongst males in religious communities as it is amongst any others. They're all watching it too regardless of whatever they say, male integrity ends at the waist and religious dogma is inherently porn-aligned because of the way it encourages males to group women into Madonna/whore fetish categories.

I think it's fascinating that the US (and I assume other countries) gonout of their way to prevent people from committing suicide. But when useless people acknowledge they're useless and try to remove themselves from the equation, is denied this and then is useless but needs money to survive, then everyone gets mad they're sapping from the government funds? Like make this make sense.

I don't know anyone that gets disability just for being suicidal. The issue is that they don't provide any help besides just keeping them in a hospital which does nothing but speed run prescriptions but never acknowledge what to do

If they're suicidal because they can't find a job then why isn't there incentives such as investigating past work places/places they've interviewed for to figure what the issue is? If it's someone they live with then they should get the resources to help them move out

Ever since the 2024 election, I've wondered: Should the internet (not every form of it, necessary communication is excluded) just be nuked? Should we just start over? Would everything be better if we didn't have algorithms polarizing people, desensitizing them, putting little boys and girls through pipelines where they join decentralized cults because tiktok kept recommending russo-ukraine war gore porn on their feeds, showing older folks fake information and conspiracies that isolate them from the people they love, making men and women extremely polarized, contributing to illiteracy among our youngest, pushing the school shooting problem fucking worse and making kids think it's normal, showing kids literal porn because it gets these rich fucks engagement, fragmenting media to a point where everyone is getting a completely different story, and more that got us to where we are today? Because why am I supposed to actually think that it is any specific policy issue at this point when it's literally this??? Why the fuck else would Musk buy twitter? Why else would he PURPOSEFULLY make it so people's feeds were separated by their political party? Why have people been on Meta's ass for this for fucking years??
It's frustrating that our younger politicians try to adapt to an environment that does not work in their favor and it's frustrating to see older politicians who are extremely out of touch.
The internet is srs bznz now. I'm sorry. Ever since the pandemic has happened it's fucking hurt to see children lose empathy because greedy content farms who get pushed by the algorithm know they can make bank off of this. This has also been an issue since the late 2010's but of course these greedy fucking tech corps refuse to acknowledge it (It makes them money!!) There has to be some way to nuke the internet and restart. I'm sorry but I refuse to adapt to this technology until it benefits humanity. If the printing press needed human blood to survive, I'd probably feel the same way.
It's really depressing, I could go on and on about what it has done to our society. I've tried to get off of it(mainstream social media, worked with some sites), but everyone my age uses it. I limit my time. When you convince them about how horrible it is, they believe you, they've just adapted to it to the point where it has become integral to the way they live. This has everything to do with the state of the US right now, everyone gets their news off of these garbage sites because they feel like they're talking to real people. I get why everyone is so nostalgic, I miss the slow news cycle. I miss when people wouldn't take their attention off of important issues because it isn't entertaining to them. Now it formed into this; A sub 10 IQ retard causing shit all the time and literally diarrheaing himself and people find it entertaining and sufficient due to the fast paced news cycle. Who ever shits themselves the most wins. On the left and the right, I bet people will forget about this bill. Not because it wont effect anyone, but because they'll need to set their eyes on something else. I hate it so much. It's only getting worse. There needs to be light at the end of the tunnel.

was literally thinking about the same exact thing just now nona, how funny. though i've come to the conclusion that things are the way they are right now because most have yet to fully comprehend it all; it hasn't really sunken in for them yet. the internet is still seen and treated as this mystical, divine thing that does more good than harm rather than something that was always meant to be tamed. no matter how many people say "it's that damn phone" etc, they will still use and build a life around said phone nonetheless because even though they don't truly understand exactly what it is that it's doing to them, it doesn't matter to them as long as it's convenient and comforting. those two things are why we're here today, along with the fact that most refuse to utilize ways to live life that doesn't rely on said internet and certain technology. maps and street signs etc still exist, you fundamentally don't need a phone to get by. people of the past were able to do it so can we, but most are too comfortable to be bothered to go out of their way. early internet was only good because it wasn't a place that was monetized and weaponized until companies, politicians, etc realized it could be and that it could be more than just some niche, probably loser thing.
the only light i see at the end of this tunnel is that it'll become objectively regulated and more controlled in the future. i'm of the belief we're currently living in an age where the internet is allowed to be and do absolutely anything. the 'wild west' era of the internet never truly ended, it just became not only profitable but what amounts to legal psychological torture and brainwashing over the years. as long as you continue to let this technology shape what life means to you and consume content you know isn't good for you, you get to have an internet where you can anonymously spread hatred with little to no consequence and access anything if you look hard enough. i truly think that will change one day the more these things fester to where it's not so easy to avoid anymore and the boomer generation dies off; they're on their way to anyway once we enter the 2030's. once they do younger people will be able to enter politics and other important spaces to where we'll then finally make concrete, concise laws and regulation around the internet among many other things. at least, that's what i'm really hoping for. either way i foresee that the internet will be reshaped entirely one way or another, we're just again currently living in its chaotic phase. i'm just left wondering if people are willing to sacrifice the current internet for a more safe and cohesive yet 'boring' one. at the end of the day though i choose to have hope and remember that these things don't last forever; they're either reshaped or eliminated entirely. the next generation will definitely suffer but there's still room for things to change and improve, always. hope i made sense the period pain is making me disorientated asf right now lol

Yes if I give a homeless woman $20 she might spend it on drugs, yes if I give her food she might trade it for drugs.

If they already qualified for benefits how will it be decided who really counts as disabled enough and who doesn't? Who will they consider able bodied enough that they haven't already vetted?

That's literally the logic they use. Take ACA for example. Republicans always talk about how bad ACA coverage is and then turn around and nuke it at every chance they get.

It's really hard to get disability benefits as an adult to begin with unless you have a readily apparent physical handicap (like blindness or a missing limb), though not impossible. It's also expensive due to legal fees and getting all your paperwork in order. Most people on disability are either elderly (who can't work) or children (who can't work). I work with disabled children, and one of the kids has been investigated for fraud already. Thankfully, his disability is readily apparent (he's completely blind) so it was quick. I think they did it just as an easy 'win' honestly because anyone could stick their head in the door, look at him, and go 'Yeah, that's a real disabled person.'

A thing to note is technically in the language of the bill all recipients would need to find work, but you can get exemptions for being pregnant or disabled, and who knows how long it can take to be processed. Additionally, they are required more "renewals" for medicaid, so just because you proved disability once doesn't look like that'll be the end of it.

Then you add on itll make it harder for hospitals to receive funds, and there will likely be layoffs and maybe even closing certain services altogether. Huge swathes of poor parts of the US already struggle to find and access care and will make it harder all around.

In my state, that only counts for SNAP, where you have to either be employed, looking for a job and connected with the local employment agency (run by the county government), or have an exemption (like homelessness or disability). Medicaid doesn't give a fuck if you're working, just your income, but I imagine they'd do something similar where you can technically be unemployed but still looking if you're held accountable.

Prices are higher but not much compared to where I live in FL and considering the wages in CA, it levels out or is slightly less expensive.

An incredible amount of hiking trails, mountains AND beaches, so much to do whether it be paid or free (so many botanical preserves in FL cost money, many I find here are free) beautiful weather, lots of healthy food, diversity in people (not all old fucks).

I can't watch it anymore because it hits too close to home but my favorite episode is Homer's Triple Bypass from Season 4.

Out of all the countries you use to push the "don't be doomer" narrative you choose the most polluted countries with the highest suicide rates on the planet? All because you don't see their news?

People with ukrainian and irish heritage are often polled as most attractive in blind tests when it comes to both genders, resentful-anon

The fuck does that have to do with anything? I don't want your white trash culture in my native land, bogtrotter. Latinos overwhelming have indigenous heritage and you have absolutely no claim or reason to be here. Go back to your hometown and marry your 3rd cousin.

Nta but I always thought the Irish were considered ugly based on american media, a lot of older stuff portrayed them as downright subhuman like even compared to Italians.

You're still taking a job a US grad could have. Crazy how soon the Irish forgot how hated they were in the US now that there's a new group to hate. It's doubly ironic because the Irish Catholics aren't particularly known for small families either

Why would an island surrounded closely by other distinct cultures - who they have always done trade easily with (other than the british) be more inbred than picrel? It looks like the alcatraz of the world kek

>i'm just left wondering if people are willing to sacrifice the current internet for a more safe and cohesive yet 'boring' one.
A free, anonymous and unrestricted Internet is the only thing that matters and i'd defend it to my last dying breath. You should just go off and join a monastery or something.

Nah but even into the mid/late 20th century they weren't as favorably viewed as Italians were, I always thought it was odd, despite the love for Italian Americans in pop culture came from the glorification of the Mafia in books and movies. I don't simply mean caricatures when referring to the treatment and sentiments surrounding the Irish.

>the Chinese often have to stay indoors due to horrific air quality that will leave you sick
The Chinese fixed this issue and their entire car industry is electric. They get about 70% of their energy from renewables and their electricity production is the greatest in the world. Your info is outdated as fuck, China is the de facto most advanced country on the planet at this point while Trumpy and this whole retard country is still clinging to fossil fuel.
