I once went out with a friend to the clubs while I was on vacation at his house in the big city. He had gotten a new job as a director and I was a minimum wage scrub.

He wanted to go to the restroom, so he gave me his coat and some money to store our things away. I find out they were charging an extraordinary rent for what many others offer for free. I refused thinking it was abusively outrageous and went back with our stuff thinking we could just store them elsewhere at a reasonable price.

He was pissed. He told me off and decided our night out was over. He railed at me, made me cry, and basically told me our friendship was over. In my mind, I was only trying to protect him. I left the next day.

He called me back a couple of times months later but I had already moved on. I want to think that he regretted it, but he’s in the big leagues now and probably thinks less of me.

the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker

That’s not my conclusion from all this. Presidents like Biden and Obama cared about the law somewhat and tried to play by the book, which only seems like their hands were tied when they weren’t. The same goes for other politicians who do get away with a lot of shit. The difference is that Trump likes to make a spectacle out of it.

Studying medicine. 😅

You can search it

E: Oh, right, I forgot Lemmy likes being spoon-fed even though it’s the top link when you look it up. My bad.

On your Tarot cards or… ? 😅

Genocide is wrong. Boom. There you go. What else do you want? You’re so ridiculous.

Huh, if only you’d invest that much of your anger towards the administration that’s actively trying to engage in genocide right now. Idk if you saw, but that link was from 4 hours ago. Where’s the outrage? Or is it that much more important to get your fix by picking a fight on Lemmy about an administration that’s not even in power right now?

the insinuation that anyone who has a problem with literal genocide must be a republican is a centrist go-to.

The insinuation that anyone who complains about you endlessly complaining about genocide must be a centrist is also quite something.

No, you just have a weird fixation with associating the Democratic Party with genocide by the looks of your last series of comments. I wouldn’t be surprised if your entire comment history is peppered with shit-talking on only one side. It doesn’t seem to phase commenters like you that the Trump administration is just as friendly with Israel. How come you’re silent about that?

Saying shit like “the Democratic party revolves around genocide” is what gets you push back. Try saying something realistic and people will agree.

Oh, I’m not entirely versed in child-bearing, but they claimed doctors didn’t give women the option of giving birth in any other position than lying on their backs, but now I know this is false. You can request to give birth in any position that feels more comfortable.

Another was that giving an epidural would create a cascading effect of needing another drug to cover the side-effects, and then needing another to cover those side-effects as well, and so on just to tack on the bill. Of course, that’s not how it works.

They’re probably in on it, too. This administration surely drew like-minded people.

I did believe the US government orchestrated it for a while, but I’m not sure anymore. It’s still one of those “holy shit, this could go either way” conspiracies for me. I’d love to find out the truth once and for all.
