With the economy as it is, we may all need to switch to Faygo.

His job, canonically, has been freelance photographer. I think fashion probably beats that.

Oh fuck. You’re right! Totally worth it. We’re so selfish.

TRUTH

Can’t SLEEP!!! Thinking about TARIFFS (and how NOBODY gets them except ME!!!). They’re actually VERY SIMPLE — but the Fake News and the globalists don’t want you to understand!!! We used TARIFFS to make AMERICA RICH AGAIN — billions and billions pouring in!!! Other countries were LAUGHING at us before I came along — NOT ANYMORE!!!

They said, “Sir, you can’t do that!” and then they watched as we WON, and WON, and WON!!! Maybe it’s just SMARTS, maybe it’s GENIUS, maybe it’s something HIGHER — people say it’s like GOD HIMSELF said, “Donald, FIX IT.” (and we DID!!!)

Anyway, bottom line — TARIFFS = GOOD for EVERYONE!!! Sleep well, America. I NEVER DO!!! 🇺🇸🔥💪

Source: ChatGPT, but also probably exactly how he’d “explain” it.

He’s not. I bought a Subaru with an 820 credit score and still couldn’t get less than like a 6% APR through my own shopping and dealer even looking. This was a year ago. My payments are in the 500 range though.

Thankfully my other car is paid off and we’re in a position to afford the Subaru without issue. It’s become my wife’s daily while I drive the paid off Hyundai.

Yeah, I get it. I did say city and the suburbs around, what would be “Chicagoland”, all had their own as well such as Evanston, Wilmette, Oak Park, La Grange, Elmhurst, etc.

I’m sure people from the burbs came into the downtown for this as well, but there were so many all over beyond downtown which is what that 250,000 is counting I believe. It was a 2 mile long stretch of protesters for downtown Chicago.

That’s about 8.3% of the city population (approximately 1 in 12 people).

My son has major anxiety, so in order to not provoke it I have not gone despite wanting to. I am absolutely against Trump’s authoritarianism, but my son’s health and safety is more important to me right now.

some of them still feel a sense shame

I wish I could feel confident that this is why, but it was probably that they were told they needed to resign or they’d be fired because their involvement is bad for business.

Um, isn’t discord and telegram technically part of the dark net? I always thought the dark net was just direct communication lines and direct links to self-hosted sites/data from individuals.

I worked in a field that dealt with child care and I know there are a couple of different checks you can get that are more quick checks and then others that are thorough checks. Cost of each is different. Also, background checks are only good right at that moment so if something happens after then of course it won’t be on a background check until it gets reported and you do another check.

I’m not saying that’s what happened here. I am only trying to point out some specifics about background checks themselves.

For sure. You also may have offended the noble Nosferatu!

Are we in the Peacemaker timeline?

The whole idea of Stephen Miller is awful, but the charisma comment actually made me laugh out loud.

Watch them choose Charlie Kirk’s wife

We will see if the progressives like Mandani can do what they say. There is still a lot of resistance in law and interests against them. I think that’s why people get these aspirations to do big positive things in government and then can’t because reality hits. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s going to take multiple years and rounds of those kinds of elections and the voters do not have that patience.

Pritzker is a guy who comes from money but actually does try and govern for the people. I live in Illinois and he did a bang up job for COVID, is actively doing things to try and fight/resist ICE and shows up in person to talk to the people, has signed vaccination protections to law, he helped to get stalled projects (like road repairs) going, he’s helped with education funding and requiring homeschooling to have more standards, and more.

Yeah, he’s not perfect but he’s at least one who fucking fights for the people and is trying to find ways to make things better for us in Illinois. I truly believe he would do the same on a national level.

Ah shit. Gamers are delicious. They’re so salty from all their crying that they make for a nice savory snack!

On a serious note—I thought I changed it, but autocorrect wins. I’m leaving it.

Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.

You’re right. I thought about editing my post but didn’t. However, yes, poor people they don’t fucking care about either. They only care about what makes them money.
