"Yes, but poor people abuse the system!"

Do they? Let's talk about how rich people abuse the system then.

Tip 1:

Become a Fire Wizard.

I just can't stop thinking about how boring rich people are. I like having money, getting cool stuff, traveling, but mostly it would be nice not to have to stress about making it, but if you manage to achieve that, why would you possibly want more than that? Like you can do basically anything, and your plan is to make more money?! That is just baffling! And then you want people to like you for that?! When you could legitimately spend every single day making people's lives better, and it wouldn't even make you not rich, but you just don't, and you wonder why people don't like you.

I'm sorry, I'm on a rant tonight, but seriously, some people would rather buy a President than just do one thing that would make them likable and interesting.

"I mean sure, it's a great idea, but it would never work in America."*

*because the Ogliarchy only wants to complain about problems they cause, but not fix them.

I will never be a single issue voter, but if I was...

Bros always assume you think Crypto and NFT's are a scam, because you don't know how they work. My brother in Christ, I think it's a scam, because I do know how it works.

I've spent the last two days in the ICU with my Mom. Today we had to make the decision to take her off life support. We knew it's what she wanted, but it was tough. I'm at home now, surrounded by all her things, knowing I won't take her home this time, and I feel adrift. I feel exhausted, but I can't sleep yet. She has lived with us for the last 10 years, the last 6 and a half with me as her full time caregiver when became a paraplegic. It's strange thinking I'm an orphan now, the people who made me are no longer here. October 2nd would have been her 66th birthday, and instead of celebrating, I will be planning a funeral.

Biden steps down, and endorses Kamala Harris.

Record breaking fund raising.

Harris clenches the nomination within 36 hours.

Media: Democrats in Chaos and Turmoil?!

So, when people start yelling about there only being two genders, we all get to roll our eyes and say, "Omg, you're being so middle school right now!"

I saw this story, and had to share:

Last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street, and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. Most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag. He's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.

Then the old man called for that person to come near him. The whole parade stopped. Everyone just.. stopped moving. They didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst, and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, and approached the old man, and then... they traded flags. He hugged the person, and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.

And Jesus just over here chilling with one titty out...

Goodbye Lynn.

I love when the world tells older women they are becoming irrelevant and invisible, and they're just like, Good, now I can do what I want, and no one will bother me.

Until she retires, and then it turns out some 60 something woman named Deb was holding half the company together lol

Friends: Who are you listening to right now?

Me, very hip: Oh, you wouldn't know them.

Where do you live and how do you feel about it?

Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.

I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.

Pros:

This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.

Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.

It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".

I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.

We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.

Cons:

Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.

While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.

We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.

I've decided what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm not distracted, I'm on a side quest.
