ve never been to a rural area of the country, have you?

I've lived in them almost exclusively.

I once got in trouble because I asked my mom how she knows Christianity is the correct religion, as I had been getting fascinated by dead religions.

The conversation was roughly

MoM: because the Bible is inspired by god, and it's infallible.

Says who?

M: the people who wrote it.

The dozens of middle eastern men over hundreds of years? Most of whom never had contact with each other, and then many hundreds of years later a bunch of old white European dudes decided to put them in a specific order, and throw out a bunch of things they decided weren't needed?

M: they were all guided by God.

So the entire belief in this is backed up by the fact that it says it's telling the truth and we're just supposed to take it at its word? What if another book was written that said IT'S the only real one and that you have to murder 5 people every day or you go to hell? How do you know which one is actually true and which one you just happened to grow up with?

At this point I was grounded. And told I should read the Bible while grounded. Of course by then I had already read it cover to cover, and wondered why the church I went to was giving these things to children given some passages are pretty graphic or explicit.

Assuming you spend $10 on avocado toast every day, as well as $75 on eating out for every meal, $20 for Starbucks, and ALSO assuming you have $150 worth of monthly subscriptions:

It will take you 25 years to save one million dollars. That's assuming you never get sick, never lose a job, never need to buy a car or have major repairs, or basically any kind of surprise expense or setback that could wipe out savings.

To be the richest person on earth, you would need to save that money every year for over 6 MILLION YEARS

"Stop saying you have it good. Hundreds of people all over the world go to sleep every night deciding which country they should exploit for billions next, they have it SO MUCH BETTER than you, and to say you're happy while others have THAT to deal with is just wrong."

Sounds kinds stupid when you flip it around. Wonder why...

Thanks to how history is being recorded, there's no chance that he will be forgotten until civilization collapses.

I wouldn't want history to actually forget any shitty person (or good person) because that makes it way easier for someone with similar ideals to take power again.

It's more the sentiment.

I have a metaphorical bucket of piss just for Margaret Thatcher. ^26+6=1^

I remember reading all about how Springfield was covered in illegal immigrants burning businesses and homes, robbing trash cans, rating babies and kidnapping cats.

Some of that might be mixed up, but the again so was I considering I thought it looked rather pleasant with tons of people having fun outside as I rode my bike around for hours literally the same day I read the posts

Clearly the shady criminal underbelly is just cleverly concealed and the residents all work together to cover up the crimes that happen to them.

Then the friends I was biking with started getting flyers from various hate groups shoved into their mail telling them "immigrants and negroids aren't welcome"

MAGAts sure do make the country a place I want to live in filled with hate, misery, and death...

Comments like this are one of a few things.

Bad faith, and useful idiots intentionally trying to keep people from wanting to go out and vote, which only helps MAGAts.

And dumbass, blind as shit privileged people who think nothing has changed in the last decade because you're simply not part of the target groups yet.

Life is so much worse for so many people because of Trump and to pretend like it wouldn't get worse with a second presidency (you know, the one where they intend to destroy democracy and the voting process and have said as much and have documents detailing how they plan to do it) is simply idiotic.

Oof. That's heavy. I never would have gotten that far, even.

I don't know about you, but the moment I realized (years later) I actually yelled "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???" to myself because it was so obvious in hindsight!
