Does anybody really give a shit?”

Well, here’s a whole fucking article about a whole fucking thing about people caring about it so MMM, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS?

Jesus fucking christ, doesn’t it ever get tiring

I quite like Rose as a character. 

My sense of disillusionment and despair about the reality of our system of government has hit all time lows.  I’m more angry at Democrats than I am Republicans.  Pelosi in particular.

It's mostly a man thing.

(3) He treats women like an 85 year old with white male privilege. He should get off the bench. If you do’t understand the world, you shouldn’t be making decisions about other people’s lives.

I feel like maybe he should avail himself of readily accessible knowledge pertinent to the case over which he’s presiding, and if he feels unable to do that, perhaps he should retire. Technology is increasingly involved in our interactions with each other, and consequently, our litigations. And Twitter is hardly new.

Given the average American’s understanding of basic Civics concepts—or their understanding of the founding documents they swathe themselves in (having had to memorize the Preamble in eighth grade doesn’t count as having read the entirety of the founding documents, folks)—it follows that Trump’s using the “if the

That’s that thing I never get.  These Billionaire’s standard of living would not change in the slightest.  The difference in living with $17 Billion in assets and $15 billion in assets is...nothing.  Hell, the difference between $100 million in assets and $1 billion in assets is nothing.  Literally nothing.  Fuck

“...government spending is wasteful as fuck.”

Climate devastation isn’t going to wait for “fairly soon.” Illnesses aren’t going to wait for “fairly soon.” War isn’t going to wait for “fairly soon.”

Warren’s wealth tax would be easily accommodated. Any properly invested fortune would still grow, it would just grow a little slower (this is fine).

“It would take less than 10 years for someone paying an 8% tax on their wealth to lose 50% of it, just from paying the tax.”

I'm dismayed at how small the rates are in Sanders' and Warren's proposals. I'd like to see wealth at more than, say, $100,000,000 taxed at something like 50%, and anything over a billion taxed at 90% or more.

The entire premise of all your concern is that people DESERVE wealth (as opposed to income).

[Insert my opinion]. This is barely debatable. [Call yourself a realist or something about common sense.

Disagree. Far left has only this chance. Once the opposition is no longer a stark raving lunatic, everything will settle back to where it always is.

It’s not so much that billionaires shouldn’t exist. It’s that the INCOME gap should not be measured in 1,000,000-1,000,000,000% differences. We’re no longer talking about exchanges of labor anymore, which is the whole point of ‘money.’ We’re talking about owning other people’s entire LIVES — which is little more than

Eh. As long as he’s not holding Rick and Morty up as a genius paean to the misunderstood value of nihilism that only true intellectuals can fully appreciate, I’m down. I kinda dig the show myself, but I’ve never felt the need to storm a McDonald’s for Szechuan sauce, nor do I think I’m particularly erudite for

That sounds very isolating.

There are a lot of skin conditions that I see everyday related to anxiety disorders: trichotillomania, alopecia areata, vitiligo, psoriasis, acne, even dermatomychosis. But there are also skin changes that are very particular to some psychiatric disorders. Psychotic patients, for instance, have a very particular sort
