Yeah you’re right, unfortunately.
Damn, I kind of want you to create a community to post about all these people.
But I want even more for them to not find out who your alter egos are!
I’m waiting for the malicious compliance stories. Any Oklahoma teachers reading, maybe reach out to The Satanic Temple for ideas.
+1 TO BIDEN POPULAR VOTES = +1 TO TRUMP TEARS 💦
Share if you believe! 🙏
Maybe comfortable is the better word.
That is, anger, outrage, paranoia, and ignorance are their comfort zone. It’s what they know. And in my little corner of the world, the more vociferously conservative they are, the less self-aware they are about it.
It’s really pervasive in ways I never truly realized until way too far into adulthood when I was working to get that shit out of my own head.
I’ve never seen anybody do Krusty so dirty. He’s just a depressed celebrity with substance abuse problems. Necessarily a bit shady, probably not a great role model, but there is a human being somewhere under that makeup!
My ADHD brain has conditioned me to be very optimistic about what I’ll do tomorrow, or what I’ll do once I get home, lol.
It just thinks you’re a garden variety redneck.
Young me: education! Work hard! Plan ahead! Prepare for the future!
Old me:
At this point it’s pretty easy to imagine a governor or president giving the SC the finger and doing what they want.
Unfortunately when I see that play out in my mind, it’s a Republican doing it. Yes, even though the SC is biased in their direction.
Yet another thing that tens of millions of people across the country would instantly lose their job for, made even MORE ok for the people who can cause the most damage by doing it. Every corporate conflict of interest training I’ve taken at current companies makes it abundantly clear that even the APPEARANCE of a POTENTIAL conflict needs to be disclosed and handled appropriately. Never mind there being literal, in writing, cash money kickbacks.
When it comes to having lower standards for state officials given special powers than we do for random schmucks, at least we’re consistent. From the lowest local cop to the highest federal politicians, why do we not only refuse to set standards but also remove ethical expectations?
I can’t get enough of these familiar spacefaring faces!
Making my first Lemmy post because this moment in my DS9 rewatch made me think of you all.
I think I’ll call her Captain Gilora Lochley.
Also, DS9 is even better than I remember. It’s been a while!
It is if you take it seriously rather than as a parody of the modern version of FWD:FWD:Re:FWD:.
