As someone who unfortunately lives in Texas. Yes. Let this whole fuckin’ state secede, and I will happily indebt myself to whoever I have to, to gtfo to a bue state.
Let Texas leave and take LA, AL, FL, MS, and GA with it.
I would just feel bad for any kids who live in these states with asshat parents.
I hope he fucking sues the FUCK out of the county for wrongful imprisonment.
PLEASE let this man get a pay out!
Holy shit! Like right after I saw this I saw the picture wirh Van Hollen and him that was posted like an hour ago! I’m so grateful that I’m wrong!!! Now fucking bring him home!
Jesus, can we at least get some proof of life for this guy?!?! Like at least?!
Clocking in!
Oh I believe that 100%!
I suppose I’m a little more patient with it because I went through the same change myself, AND because I like people (finally) pointing out that we do have a system for socialized healthcare in America!
I mean, tbf, joining the military IS what made me start looking into the concept of Socialism and what it means.
Is the military socialism? No, us Enlisted have no power and the Officer corps is the “owning class”, but we have good, tax payer funded social benefits that I believe everyone should have access to.
It’s like a gateway drug into anti-capitalism idealogies. If the US is never going to go full socialist (or at least not in our lifetimes), then I think raising taxes and giving everyone TRICARE, VA Loan benefits, tuition assistance, and a pension will go a long way in solving most people’s biggest fears/relieving a metric fuckton of oppression caused by capitalism.
Also, having been to the Middle East and seen firsthand the stark difference of people driving around Ducatis and Lambos, parking in front malls inlaid with real gold, while 10 minutes up the road whole communities had built their shack homes in the desert with random odds and ends and thrown blankets over their windows was…I cant really describe the feeling I got. Dread, anger, immense sadness, just a whole myriad of negative emotions. Couple that with the intense religious fervor that is rampant in the region, and yeah, I have no idea how a military member can look at all that and be like “This. This is what America needs.”
Granted, yes, unfortunately a lot of our service men and women are still unfortunately extremely pro-Capitalism/Trump and Elon Musk fanboys…I just don’t know how.
Either way, my comment got long, but when people start in on the “The Army is Socialist!” Dont be mad. Educate! They’re at the very least coming from a place of “Fuck, we really could make everyones lives better if we give everyone these benefits that we enjoy so much!” And that shows compassion for others, which is something so fucking desperately needed right now.
You know what? I actually just saw her perform over the summer and she is still Queen status.
Better artist anyhow. You right!
Oof yeah. I’m so sorry about that.
I was never a Neil Gaiman girlie, not because of any vibes or anything, I was just reading other shit in my youth. But it was VERY clear from that thread that he was a very beloved author who touched a lot of lives. A LOT of people seem heartbroken about that.
Finding out those we look up to are awful incarnate is the worst feeling.
I am so fucking on board with this, lfg!
Maaaaannnn, all these people in here are clowning on her for her shitty music. But “Before He Cheats” was my way to own my “Drunk Basic White Lady” status at Karaoke. Now I can’t even be a stereotype anymore.
Jokes aside, fuck you Carrie Underwood. I was a fan in my youth and grew out of your music, but there was still two or three songs I got good nostalgia vibes from. Not anymore!
Ugh I hate when people I’ve supported turns out to be monsters.
Every time I see this quoted somewhere, I immediately think of that fateful moment on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 7, Episode 16, when they’re all at dinner in Hong Kong.
Lisa Rinna and Dorit Kemsley are feuding, and Rinna leans over the table and point blank just asks, “Were people doing coke in your bathroom?” 😂
Low key the dinner from weeks prior that Rinna is referencing WAS weird af (the whole table of women got up and just left her there alone to all go to the bathroom together), and chaotic, so I do think they were doing SOMETHING in the bathroom.
Bruh, you just made my fucking MONTH with the knowledge that this is on Steam! I never even thought to look for it there.
Holy nostalgia. I spent so many hours as a child trying to beat this game!
Just bought the complete pack for $2. Thank you for this!
That lady wishes she could be known for something like Leroy Jenkins.
Nah, she’s one of those family youtubers with a bunch of children, and they came under fire recently because it was found out that they live in a one bedroom apartment and her and her fiance share the bedroom while her kids slept on mattresses in the kitchen.
Ah, the Resilient Jenkins approach.
Also in Texas, also desperate to leave, but currently still Active Duty. I hope you get somewhere safe, not because I think you should have to, but because this state is a literal fucking hellhole for anyone not straight, white, and Christian.
God speed and safe travels, my friend.
Deleted prior comment because the comment didnt add to the conversation and I got lost in my own spiral.
But Squid, I think its admirable to put your daughter first. Everyone with half a brain knows that decisions like this, uprooting an established family and everything you know, isnt made lightly/on a whim. You’re showing your support of her well-being, and every time you talk about her on here, you come off as such a loving parent. We should all be so lucky. And, youve talked about having chronic illness before and it sounds like youre headed to a place with socialized health care. I wish you and yours all the luck in the world.
As for my husband and I, we’re childfree by choice, so we’re the best kinda people to stay behind. The kind who can weigh decisions against our own well being and decide what we can/cant handle exposing ourselves to without mixing up a child in this mess.
Fuckin’ not staying in Texas tho.
Anyone who is not an able-bodied straight white Christian male with money should be concerned about this user’s viewpoints.
Bruh, if I got out and fulfilled my IRR honorably and whatnot, and then I was recalled years later, I would promptly smoke all the pot in reasonable distance from me the moment I received that recall notice.
Another FF8 enjoyer here! My husband and I got married on Halloween, so for the reception, I was Rinoa and he was Squall!
10/10 fantastic game!
