What about affording any of that? OR a home… or getting time off work for the 100th time this year.

Life is often unkind to those who need a bit of kindness the most.

The worst part is when people call somebody lazy or make other assumptions about them cause of their lack of wealth or expensive things or tidy hair. Some people never grow out of that schoolyard shit.

Better than Facebook - I had to delete my account and start over cause it kept showing me memories with my ex and old holiday photos. Cause that’s what people need - a reminder of their time in hell.

The only thing more pathetic and limp than this law is the men who wrote it.

I think they’ve navigated a situation that looked hopeless better than anyone in the west could have expected. We all hoped economic sanctions were enough to elicit a peaceful outcome when negotiating with Russia failed, but instead it’s turned into things like BRICS.

Many immigrants are lured into moving to Western countries with promises of a better life—safety, prosperity, and even the allure of things as trivial as Coca-Cola or a suburban home. The promise of no longer living under the threat of being shelled with U.S.-made weapons is understandably compelling.

But once they arrive in the very countries that invited them to “save the economy” and fill labor shortages, they’re suddenly labeled a national security threat. They’re painted as part of criminal gangs or conspiracies, blamed for societal issues, and treated as if their presence is an affront. In reality, their migration often isn’t about seeking a better life at all—it’s about enriching local businessmen who refuse to pay livable wages, instead trapping vulnerable people with exploitative worker visas.

Yes! My apologies, I kept alternating between posting the banner image or the link… This is my first post ever on Lemmy.

Problem is there’s too many vested interests. Bernie Sanders would have made a great president. In 2016.

Ah, I see one of the toxic family members is with us.

Anyone else see the MALP from Stargate?

This is exactly the kind of shit we must not stoop to. Let the Trumpers feed themselves to the leopards. They don’t need our help destroying themselves, they’re perfectly good at doing that themselves.

Threatening Europe so the apartheid inheritance child can get richer. The new lows from the new government start now!

Fuck Putin.

How many women do the Republicans have to kill before everyone else is too outraged to let it go on?

They sound nice.

If you’re really keen to try this, maybe try a less destructive approach like playing Pokemon? They even evolve within your lifetime so you can enjoy the fruits of your labour!

I share your view so I agree with the sentiment but I think the facts say otherwise, unfortunately.

Both sides are contributing to the gerontocracy and the problems associated with it.

• If Ruth Bader Ginsberg had retired during Obama’s term, Trump would have had one less Supreme Court Justice.
• Dianne Feinstein wouldn’t let go while in mental decline.
• Biden is doing the same damn thing as Feinstein but with the freaking presidency. He might’ve been the safe bet to take back the white house in 2020 - but couldn’t the Democrats have coughed up someone who isn’t OLDER than Bill Clinton? That’s fucked up IMO.

Imagine if the older politicians of both sides of politics retired on time.

I was quoting Doctor Who ;)

Don’t you think he looks tired?
