Agreed, and you also have to factor in long COVID-sufferers who can’t - literally, physically cannot - work jobs that have you on your feet all day. I know of someone who got it at work (office job but they didn’t do shit for protection) and she can’t walk for more than 10 minutes at a time without getting winded, and…

Another, very sobering reality is the number of dead Americans who once filled a large number of these low-paying positions. Those that had to deal with the no-maskers, and in close contact no less. These are the people who got sick first, and let’s be real about the ability to have a healthy body when you’re not paid…

Cool. Now that we’re “over” covid, we’re expected to go back to working slave wages, no benefits, no vacation time, no raises and needing to work multiple jobs to make ends meet? Fuck this country, fuck the union-busting bullshit and fuck billionaires. 

I think cults prey on basic human weaknesses - fault lines that exist in the human psyche in general, not just the “damaged” ones. For example, everyone feels lonely sometimes, like nobody really understands who you are inside. Cults exploit that. You might come from a happy family, you could be in a healthy…

No. Any “Reveal Event” is corny and stupid, be it pregnancy, product or gender. Even the....

One of my best friends and I were like, “THAT GUY????” But he plays the “harmless intellectual guy friend” so well. If you’re a damaged person (which, who isn’t) it’s so easy to fall for that. 

Ask and you shall receive.

I do feel like Allison Mack was a victim, but she hurt a lot of people and recruited a lot of people into this cult. I doubt she is gonna get no time.

“I believe that other people can have a PhD level in understanding themselves. You don’t have to think, ‘I don’t have a bachelor’s degree, I don’t have this certification’ or whatnot, you can curate your own learning that is specific to who you are, to what your passions are, to whatever transitional phase you are in…

Kevin Federline quietly becoming the most responsible and sane adult in the extended Spears family drama was certainly not something that I saw coming in the early 00s.

His face in that header is the bewildered expression of every straight white guy who came up unexpectedly against a reality they have always denied.

Right. He's the embodiment of the meme about what happens when the world's worst person makes a good point. He does make some good points on occasion, but he's still an opportunist, and I just can't get down with that

He really seems like one of those fragile types who believes his own bullshit. THIS time, the grandiose project really is going to take off. THIS time, he won’t overpromise or underdeliver or build on the backs of others’ labor. And he’s always got an excuse for why LAST time didn’t work out.

White people LOVE Shaun and keep him relevant while Black people have been sounding the alarm on him for years. 

That is why in life I just go for “shallow” and miss the window dressing.

The scam goddess episode on him is everything. Literally every second of it was great.

100%

Every time Shaun is trending, I hope this is gonna be the time his grifting ass is finally sent packing. It hasn't happened yet, because white people.

I don’t for a minute believe Shaun King is biracial; you know why? a quick DNA test would shut everyone up, but he’s never taken one.
