Buddy, this is a pathetic coping mechanism. You want so badly to believe they are miserable, because you just can't fathom that life would be so unfair as to make them happy.

As the lone liberal in a large family of conservatives, let me tell you, they're not miserable. My family group chat has been filled with happy vacation photos, play date arrangements for kids, jokes, and laughter.

The truth is, most conservatives don't actually care about "sticking it to the libs"; they just don't give a shit at all. They don't listen to the news, they don't talk about politics, they don't have any significant worries. They go to their straight, white, Christian churches; talk to their straight, white, Christian friends; and discuss how great their straight, white, Christian families are.

Of course they have fear and hatred of anything that isn't straight, white, or Christian; but that by no means makes them unhappy. They live in their bubbles, and inside their bubble, everything is nice and perfect. It's those filthy liberals, who were so cruel as to occasionally make them look outside of their bubble, that were the real problem. And now that they're out of office and they never have to leave or look outside their bubbles again, everything is once again perfect. Just perfect.

Stopped what shit? At the end of the day, what did it accomplish? Cops still kill black people, and most face very little repercussions.

In the words of Bo Burnham, "We all deserve love; even on the days when we're not our best; cuz we all suck, but love can make us suck less"

You shouldn't seek a relationship just to fix yourself, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't seek a relationship. I think you're being too hard on yourself.

You are not as broken as you think you are.

Lack of job protection

Lack of healthcare protection

Inability to miss or reduce even a single paycheck due to cost of living

It's winter, and most major cities North of Texas have had below freezing temps with brutal wind chill for the past several weeks

The recognition that no protest in the last 20 years has accomplished anything in the US.

Put that all together, and is it any surprise people aren't protesting?

Also a lot of people between 110 and 150, so I'm sure there is a larger answer.

However, Social Security cuts off at 115, and they supposedly found like 10 million people older than that. Considering there are only ~50m people on Social Security, and the database they were searching wasn't even about current recipients, most people would conclude that there is likely an error in data, rather than immediately jump to fraud. Of course, ketamine is a hell of a drug and Elon is not most people.

Nah, this is crazier. Ignore the DEI angle and this is a state suing a company for the crime of not being profitable. That's way more out of the norm than a racist gunman shooting people because he's racist.

I don't think that comparison works since, according to Disney, Ariel is clearly black.

It's absolutely the case here. It's the retailers buying from them that have to pay the tariffs, not the manufacturer. So they're not increasing costs to make up for the tariffs, they're just increasing costs that retailers will have to pay ON TOP OF the extra they're already having to pay for the tariffs.

Its like a company trying to justify increasing the cost of their goods just because the sales tax on their goods went up. The company's profits are unchanged by the tax increase, it's just the consumer who's getting screwed twice.

Early in my engineering career, I was told that a screw hole on a part needed to be increased one size. Not knowing any better, I increased the size but made the thread count the same. Little did I know that the machine shop head had recently gotten unfairly grilled by management about following engineering drawings to a T, and had adopted an attitude of malicious compliance. So rather than reach out to engineering to check if they really needed this obscure thread size, he instead just went ahead and purchased a new $7000 threading tool for that size that would never be used again.

I learned a lot that day about common fastener sizes and to always be nice to the machine shop head.

So many words just to say "I'm a fascist piece of shit"

Was it ever explained what Scar did to ruin everything? Like, was it overhunting, or mismanagement of resources? Like when Simba came back, everything was a wasteland. Then after overthrowing Scar it rained like once and everything was fine again.
