What’s Kennedy driving these days?

"It was just a prank, bro!

Ah yes that well-beloved classic Pippin Took and the Temple of Khazad-dûm

Like a lot of Republicans, this guy needs therapy. And medication. And anger management training.

And to be removed from a position of power.

Thanks. I don’t take my work home as such but I also do have a partner that lends a sympathetic ear when I need it. So I’m lucky in that regard. Truthfully, I get to focus on my home life the moment I’m off the clock.

At the time of answering though, we could have used a few extra hands.

My work. We’re understaffed and underappreciated.

The GOP’s problem is that it’s full of Republicans

I can’t imagine being able to travel the world at my leisure eating the finest foods mankind has to offer and saving millions of lives through charitable donations and yet wasting my life, money, and time picking losing fights with governments while defending indefensible shitbags on the internet.

Must just be something about billionaires I don’t understand 🤷‍♂️

I’ve lost four senior pets in the last 3 years, all between 14 and 23 years old.

You make them as comfortable as possible for as long as you can, and you shower them with love and treats for as long as they live.

When you have to let them go, you stay with them until their last breath and you thank them for all the years they gave you.

Go home and bawl your eyes out. Grieve for as long as you have to.

But never, ever, ever give them up or give them away. They deserve better.

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

That’s some high-level incel shit right there

His legacy could have also been “80s real estate and business failure goes to prison for SA and financial crimes.” Instead, we have a two-tiered justice system and he gets to climb onto Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe at 72 years of age.

We’re numb to injustice.

Two completely different standards applied simultaneously, amplified by media’s fawning obsession over this narcissistic shitbag and Harris’ status as a WoC

“Moderate” Dems have been trying to appear palatable to an increasingly unhinged conservative voter for decades now, so they won’t push for anything too controversial

Ours is a culture of complacency. Even where demonstrably untrue, we for generations regard ourselves as number one in all aspects of nationhood. The propaganda works as designed. We don’t expect more because we already think this is as good as it gets.

This allows the slow erosion of rights and denial of progress that we’ve seen over the last 50 years. We won’t be protesting or demanding things most democracies would consider mandatory. We’re too busy trying to get by at this point.

You guys have friends?

Indeed this is quite a bullshit.

Def strikes as an old fashioned phrase

What I really find disappointing about this exchange is how disingenuous this scenario is that you paint. You set up a very vague and overbroad situation and then follow it up with a very specific to the point of anecdotal example as if that refutes my rebuttal.

Like, do you really think I should get bogged down in a response to this new scenario like it’s worth considering? Do you genuinely think a random person on the internet is incapable of imagining a scenario such as the one you described and would be floored by it? C’mon dude.

But ok. Sure, let’s do this like you have a good point. Here’s what should happen. Domestic violence experts who are trained in psychology and deescalation techniques could intervene and create a safe exit for victims of abuse and violence. But you know what? I don’t know what exactly that task force would look like or how it would operate. What I do know is, it shouldn’t look like those guys in blue who shoot black people in their own homes while existing and chuck flashbangs into cribs.
