  • If he was Roman Polanski and a member of The Rich Rapist Club it wouldn’t be a problem.

    Does anyone remember how that guy raped a 13 year old and is still *marked as active in the film industry on wikipedia? Oh and how Hollywood elites defend him constantly?

    Yeah, I don’t feel bad at all about supporting Luigi.

    *edit - not necessarily making movies, but is active in the industry at 91.

    I mean, to be completely honest, it was a relief that it wasn’t children or random innocent adults getting gunned down this time.

    Ffs the police rarely get the right house when busting someone’s door down and shoot the “wrong suspect” all the time. This guy shot his intended target and hurt no one else. He’s not only less evil than health care CEOs, he’s less evil and more competent than the police.


  • If private schools are going to exist they should have a minimum curriculum actually enforced so that students attending them aren’t put at a disadvantage.

    For example, sex education should be required as part of health and human biology. Not it’s own separate, needlessly controversial thing.

    Many private schools are religious and refuse to teach certain topics, or replace them with nonsense and it hurts their students.

    But also don’t give them tax money. They rake it with their excessive tuition already.


  • I just want to add to the conversation and bring forward the fact that health insurance corporations give millions to both parties during election cycles and continuously lobby for a system that allows them to do what they are currently doing.

    The people in the government aren’t just writing laws that allow health insurance companies to do whatever they want for shits and giggles. They’re convinced. Either by pressure campaigns done by their lobbyists or they just straight up use bribes. It’s seriously fucked up, and when I think corruption can’t get worse I learn something new and find out it already is far worse than I ever imagined.


  • That has to be one of the most depraved and appalling things I’ve ever read. I just got a piece of mail from cigna telling me to sign up for their supplemental insurance before something terrible happens to me.

    I think I’ll use it to curse their CEO and lackeys instead. I don’t know if that shit works, but it might offer some catharsis after finding out they deny epileptic children with cancer treatment and are baffled when parents “freak out.” Seriously, those inhuman husks can eat shit and choke.





  • I was a pack a day smoker, and a 2000 hit vape cart will last me almost a week.

    I smoke a lot less. If I just wanted one drag of a cig I’d end up smoking all of it. Now I take one hit off my vape put it back and I’m good for a few hours.

    It’s interesting how vaping changes people’s smoking habits. I’ve been experimenting with substituting nicotine gum for the vape here and there. Hoping my body will accept that after awhile and I can stop vaping, then quit the gum with regular gum. It seems like a bunch of extra steps, but it’s working so far


  • I think healthy skepticism when it comes to the government is good. Especially if people want transparency. Holding them accountable for abuses is even better, but has been less than ideal in practice over the years.

    Unfortunately, people tend to skip healthy skepticism and dive right into conspiracy driven paranoid delusions, and lack of government accountability does feed into that mindset. Combine that with Maga propaganda, fox News, and other extremist media and we’ve got a shit show.



  • Ours had a really sluggish menu with ads until we disconnected it from the internet. Now it has zero ads and the menu to switch sources is as fast as it should be.

    I wish I had never connected it to begin with though. I didn’t know better. It used to default to whatever console was on, but it updated and no longer does that for some shitty reason. So I have to go through the menu and manually switch sources now. Probably to make sure I saw all the ads before using my playstation. Assholes.

    Birth control is nothing more than a form of medical technology. People against birth control and abortion(also medical technology) are Medical Luddites.

    They must be afraid of losing their jobs at crisis pregnancy centers, or be afraid they won’t be allowed to shame young single mothers anymore.
