Lets ask Australia. Or any of the other countries in the world where it doesn’t happen regularly.

Every single weekend in Chicago is jam packed full of neighborhood events. Every single day brings a multitude of cheap or free activities. This violence isn’t happening because of a lack of constructive outlets for youth to take part in. This violence is happening because of socio-economic issues, peer pressure, and…

It would be even safer if you just preemptively locked up everyone under the age of 18 and didn’t let them out of their cells. For their safety

I know you mean well, but this really isn’t helpful. My father lives with me, and I’m a primary weekday caregiver for my nieces and nephews, so it’s a little tough to just avoid them. I’m sick to death of people saying “we have to learn to live with the virus” like it’s not still killing hundreds of people a day and…

Thank you. To me, it’s a simple gesture recognizing that I’m mindful of others. And recognizing that you’re mindful of the fact that kids under 5 can’t get vaccinated yet. And that immunocompromised people exist and deserve your consideration. And that healthcare workers are fucking exhausted and still need our help…

This pisses me off so much. I’ve got a trip coming up that I’ve put off twice now, first when delta spiked and then in February with omicron. I bought this ticket because everyone on the plane would be masked, and now I don’t want to go. The mask mandate combined with the relatively short travel time (under 3 hours)…

that’s what the people who want to go back to the 50s forget. The only reason the 50s were so good was because every other country on the planet was recovering from WW2. Now we are finding out we’re not special and in fact aren’t that great in all sorts of ways.

I mean, to be fair, we never really were a civilized country. We were just strong because our neighbor didn’t bomb the shit out of us in two World Wars, and we didn’t get the shit bombed out of us by a foreign power across the world. The US grew from the wars and became the super power. Then we pulled the new money…

People could just be better?  Obviously you’ve never met people before. 

Yep. At this point there’s no way for the government to ensure that an individual church isn’t violating the IRS’s “no politics from the pulpit” rule, so all of them need to be taxed as if the pastor were stumping for a candidate every week (because a hell of a lot of them are). It’s too bad, because there certainly…

Tax the churches.

It is more than right wingers that are concerned about trans women such as Thomas competing against cisgender women. And it hardly advances reasoned discussion on the issue to pretend so. Whether it is pure talent and determination that brought Thomas these wins, or the skeletal-muscular and lung capacity advantages…

I’m not suggesting he’s a paedophile for crying out loud.

What you’re calling “work” may not be sitting around eating bonbons, but KK absolutely meets the definition of a socialite, and being a socialite and having a career are not mutually exclusive anyway. Lots of socialites use their social position as a launching pad for careers (interior decorator is a favorite), which…

I fucking hate this goddamn country. I loathe the ineptitude and cowardice of the Democrats, but I guess I have to keep fucking voting for them. Fuck. Nothing matters. Nothing means anything. Why the fuck even bother?

So the beacon of freedom is sliding backwards while the rest of the world progresses?

Christians hate gays because they don’t manufacture more Christians. Which is ironic, because Christians keep manufacturing more gays.

I was raised conservative, am very leftist now, and as a PR professional, leftists make me want to bash my head against a wall almost constantly. Our messaging is AWFUL - it’s not the only reason we lose elections, but it’s a big factor.

Pro-abortion? Is that what we’re calling fundamental and essential healthcare now to make the title more click-bait? The fuck does that mean, pro-abortion?

I don’t have kids. I can’t imagine the worry you go through. I do, however, have preexisting health issues. According to the back to normal narrative, I’m expendable. I’m never going to have a normal. I’ll be wearing masks for the foreseeable future. I literally see one person a week because I have to. I understand…
