every field trip i had had a permission form with the cost on it that had to be signed by a guardian or you were not allowed to go.
the last woman i dated was 100% against this type of thing, because she was 100% against taxes on the wealthy.
She was 100% for taxes on poor people though.
She was 34, and her father was still paying her rent, while she ranted against poor people and children who 'were getting hand outs'.
We broke up over it, and she pulled the 'you are too ugly for me anyways'.
The selfishness, cruelty, and immaturity of conservative types of people is beyond the pale. And they feel like they are the victims, that school children being fed is them being abused and stolen from.

been here a month or so.
def seeing more abusive people show up, and nutcases who are spamming their ideological nonsense on every post who have think being first to post about their victim hood as misunderstood holders of THE TRUTH is some sort of relevant commentary and they are being oppressed by some other group of a different ideology.
this thread seems to be exhibit A.
also way more low quality shit posting and memes which i have to spend several minutes blocking each morning.
i sexually identify as nuclear armageddon. my pronouns are Minuteman III/Trident II
I can't turn on the radio TV without them talking about AI every 5 minutes. It's bitcoin bullshit allover again. Or Big Data, or 'new media' or etc etc.
Buzz buzz buzz.
which is why people want to be rich. it's way bigger benefit than the money.
people think about all the maga types that are 'one day millionaires'. nah, it's not about being rich for money, it's about they back a guy who does the stuff they wish they could personally do. like be rabidly racist in public without consequence
