Breaking away is sometimes the right thing to do, and from what you're saying, OP, maybe you should break away before Turkey Day, not after.
I broke away for 13 years, enjoyed things better without them than with them. By the time I came back, some of the family had mellowed, others had died, and we actually have decent holidays now. It gets better.
There are things going on that are less important than which monstrous Republican is Speaker of the House and which office Nancy Pelosi's desk is in, but Republicans are fucking the world over in many, many far more important ways.
Jamie Dimon is a wealthy old fart who never worked a day in his plush lazy life. What he says interests me less than analyzing my neighbor's dog's poop as its eaten by bugs.
Seconded. I've thought the Pope's knowledge and support for Nazi Germany and the Holocaust was common knowledge. Feels like something I've known for thirty years, at least.
Maybe I just have a knack for the extremely obvious.
Whoa. That totally Keanues me. I had thought of the lack of infinite scrolling as a bug, a feature I'd hoped was in development, but this srsly rejiggers my ears and everything in between.
I already spend too much time online, so ... I'm with @dessalines@lemmy.ml — no infinite scrolling, please.
Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you'd need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it's an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.
Everywhere I go I'm usually the oldest person in the room, and I've been hearing that line since long before I'd ever heard of Donald Trump.
Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.
And Bernie's right. I ain't arguing.
Sure is a bucket of swill we're always forced to drink from, though.
There's a lot of smarts in what you're saying, thanks.
I don't have any science to cite, but I've certainly known LOTS of people who attend church more for the socializing than any spiritual reason.
Hell, I'm basically anti-social, but give me a 'club' to attend once weekly and listen to a mini TED-talk and then chat with like-minded people afterwards, and I might be there.
What utter bullshit. The Catholic Church is one of the richest entities on this planet, but we'll let them pretend their San Francisco branch is a separate entity, so the church can get away with centuries of kiddie-diddling and continue kiddie-diddling until the Rapture.
I couldn't stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.
You're now banned.

And all of this has been public knowledge for a long, long time, long enough that anyone paying tithes to the Catholic Church is scum.
Perhaps I live in a bubble of pessimism, but — isn't the looming collapse of civilization well-known, and essentially a certainty?
Well, nobody certainly didn't see that coming.
Hockey has been dead to me since the NHL made this announcement.
It is folly to cover Scalise — or most republicans — in this way, as if what they're doing is normal.

I should worry that this info is exposed?

I am grumpy today and also tired of Twilight Zone memes, but this one made me larff. :) Thanks
"It's a racism crisis," my pimply ass. Don't white and Asian Muslims read the same Koran?
Kinda pointless pretending logic is involved, when dealing with the indoctrinated.
