White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that complaints about the strikes were an effort to “distract” from the ongoing government shutdown.

We can be angry about multiple things at once, like the Trump admin killing random people in boats, and the Trump admin disappearing thousands of immigrants, and the Trump admin pressuring congress to avoid negotiating lower Healthcare costs, and…

Sorry, too busy trying to not be disabled

This is the first time I’ve seen what they plan for it to look like. Cheap-ass kitchen chairs, tacky table settings, random AI human-blobs. The ceilings, windows, and chandeliers all inspired by the historical period when slavery was still legal

“Johnson imagines himself in the role of cult leader”

He was cast because he was in the mad max movie a couple years before, and the director thought he could hold his own ground opposite Schwarzenegger

I’m about to list my house for 20k more than I purchased it 3 years ago. When it goes on the market there will only be two other houses in the same price range (~100k range, with mine in the middle).

What she’s saying is so insanely out of touch. That’s a 70+ year old house and my elderly millennial ass could just afford it after years of saving

I won’t be recomping the improvements I made to the house, that 20k is basically going to the realtors lol

Fiscal conservatives doing what they do best

I remember having BMI tests before training and once in boot camp, but not after I got to my first duty station. I was quite underweight when I was serving, but that was so long ago that I assumed they’d moved on to a better standard by now lol

It sounds like dipshit thinks BMI is a good standard for fitness measurement

I prefer plain sparkling water. No flavors or sweetener, just bubbles. Unfortunately my bladder doesn’t agree that it’s the best way to consume liquid, so now I’m dehydrated all the time because I can’t convince myself to just drink still water like a normal human

The VA secretary already said a doctor can refuse to treat a veteran if they are an unmarried woman, among other things like atheism or being LGBTQ+. I can only imagine how hard anyone will have to fight for their benefits during this administration

Definitely pricy. For comparison, with the coupon it’s still more than a Samsung Galaxy S25 and an IPhone 17 Pro.

Weird, all I’ve ever heard about is how high the suicide rate is among trans people, nothing about murder rate.

Also weird to consider “trans rights are human rights” to be nihilistic (Political belief or action that advocates or commits violence or terrorism without discernible constructive goals)

Edit: I meant as in trans people murdering other people. Trans people are overwhelmingly victims of violence than perpetrators

I mean, I blocked the sub after they asked me to send a picture to comment. I have no idea what their actual policy was, just what my experience was

I still can’t believe they wanted people to send pictures of their arms to prove they are a person of color before posting/commenting. Okay, maybe I can believe that. What I can’t believe is that anyone defended it

They do not contradict each other. I’m certain there will be more stops as the city grows, because they keep improving it. I used to live in a city, in another state, with one of the best public transportation systems in the country, and they also kept improving that system to include the surrounding cities in other counties. Just because something isn’t perfect already does not mean we can’t take it seriously and strive for perfection

It’s a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.

I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I’d cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn’t have public transportation. Now I can’t cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it’s so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess

Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn’t carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol

I know the answer is “don’t get fast food and just eat at home”, but I’ve also been so tired after work/school that I’m not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn’t a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between “cities”

Wyoming is next to a couple other states with significant Native American populations. The thing about vaccines is there’s a lot of resistance in those populations, especially if it’s white people administering them. Some of that crowd immunity we expect to have really needs to protect them too, and without it, they will be devastated by white people’s policies again.

That’s a very simplified statement without much cultural context, but I think it’s so painful to blame the ~500k people in one large, mostly rural, largely uneducated state for this when much denser voting populations did too
