I have given up thinking i can beat libs at limbo.

Lemme take a crack at their brainworms thesis.

"hamas infiltrated the military. it stands to reason hamas inflitrators did most of the killing. IDF may have killed some with crossfire/shrapnel/missile failure.

Lots of billionaire money being funneled into those low level positions too, sorry to inform. They spend a lot getting their stooges to fill school boards, disrupt meetings, etc. it's a full on quiet war being waged right in front of us, which becomes even more apparent if you try to dip your feet in local politics. It's turtles allllll the way down i tell ya.

Kristoff best pack his bags, cuz that's the only possible effect from his tepid rebuttal of biden, now. It's not like anyone seriously believes the DNC will move on from Biden, right? Why even bring it up now unless you are tired of your PR job?

The wife's told me they spent 5 minutes talking about golf and the rest was gibberish. Who won the debate? Depends ...

It could be more that they want to win but the tools they could use to win are "out of bounds". They do want to win, but they have to win somehow while giving us nothing since the donors that brought them there will remove their power to do anything the moment they go against their will.

It's not that there's a conspiracy or anything, it's a simple reason that you already know: the democratic process is thoroughly and completely bought by corporate private interests to the point that it can only work for them.

Dem voters only know what they are told to know by the boob tube and right now they know 'china=bad' trump=no more vote History is meaningless to them, everything happening is divorced from previous events.

They know also, because they have been told that by agreeing with the tv they are smart, that disagreeing is only for people who don't have all the info, or are dumb/racist. They don't want to be dumb/racist so they agree and defend the TVs lies as their own, as they have been convinced by this trick that their very intelligence is on the line.

It's pretty sad, cuz i don't know how to move one from this headspace. I think maybe those types need to come to some kind of revelation on their own before they can be radicalized. I wish i could do it, because (i think) if those types ever did realize they had been played for fools their absolute fury at this would help communism grow.

Living paycheck-to-paycheck doesn’t necessarily mean hardship, and LendingClub makes the distinction between those can pay their bills easily and those who can’t. Only a fraction of high earners -- roughly one in ten -- reported issues covering all their household expenses in April, according to the survey.

I guess the distinction is whether it means hardship for LendingClub. Fuck me, imagine reading shit like this credulously.

Rolling pronouns? (hexbear.net)
submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Ok so i learned about a person coming out as non binary recently and this reminded me of my confusion about (i think they're called rolling pronouns) she/they and he/they specifically.

I have looked around at some sites speaking to it but none of them have made it clear to me whether use of "her" or "him" instead of "theirs" in the case of someone who wishes for (s)he/they is misgendering.

I had (mis)understood before that (s)he/they meant they were fine with either their gendered pronoun AND the gender free option, but am i way off base? Is the "they" not an option?

Apologies if this is breaking rules or has been answered, i didn't see anything on the sidebar so here goes nothin...
