I work in a museum and get very few hours a month which works because my family supports me (and also needs me around) but also sucks because I can't commission anyone since all my money goes to bills/food.

That's going to be challenged and overturned as unConstitutional because it violates the First Amendment. I'm pretty convinced they just hate seeing people happy and healthy in a general way. It's hard to figure out any other reason than sheer malice.

The worst part is they actually believe they're the ones saved and doing God's work. They cannot see their own hypocrisy.

One person commented their feed looks like the Ewok party after the Death Star was destroyed.

Cynicism is sort of like the Dark Side. It's easy to fall into and it often feels like the only sane way to be in a world of disappointments.

That's understandable, but don't forget it's okay to be happy about small victories too.

The worst part is that if Trump wins it's Hitler time again.

At this point, I'm wondering if the Independent voter saying this just wants to see if the US will actually become a dictatorship under Trump. Like, I wish I had a better candidate to vote for, but if it's not clear by now that Biden's the sane one it never will be.

I ascribe to the idea that however much a person may suffer through a bad system, they will suffer it gladly as long as someone they hate suffers the more.

I think "war criminal" would more likely be reserved for Andrew Jackson. Though, to be fair, they could have a list under that.

Mine would be Sears/Kmart since that's where I worked and I'd take great glee lobbing things at the customers.

One thing I hate is the feeling of Trump becoming president again as inevitable. It shouldn't be. Yet, I've seen how history is with authoritarians. They always seem to get a second chance, and with it do evil that is remembered for generations.

Thanks! Though I got it immediately when you mentioned the letter change.

Well, yes, that's the more modern variation. I'm still lost on the racial slur unless there's something about the use of 'bugaboo' I'm not aware of.

Now my head hurts, because I'm trying to figure out how one goes from the antiquated 'bugaboo' to a racial slur.

I'd argue it'd be more common to hear 'bugbear' than 'bugaboo'. And it *still* mystifies me how it'd even get in there.

I still don't understand how he could get close to a racial slur in a budget discussion. MAYBE in describing the direction of a chart, because there's an unfortunate alternate meaning for slant, but *that* is stretching things beyond reason.

No, no I can't. Like, why would you even have something remotely close to a slur in your speech?!

I compare it to Scylla and Charybdis. Neither is a good choice, but at least with Scylla you'll still have a ship.

I should specify that when I say I will vote for someone who doesn't want to be a dictator, I am damning them with faint praise. It's a thing that shouldn't even need to be said in the US, and if that's the strongest point going for one, that's pathetic indeed.

My mode of thought anymore is that, unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, it should be assumed that once there is a Hole of Wrongness found, it is a bottomless one.

Even with as much work as one can put in, there are people who will never accept because it would mean they were wrong, and the humility it would take to admit *being* wrong is too much for them to endure.

Where it *ought* to outweigh the biases but, for some people, accepting the reliability also means accepting being wrong, and that is, for them, a step too far.
