The cylinder in which porky and pals sat was the center segment that imploded and shattered. The hemispherical end cap (not pictured) and tail portion which held the support hardware (shown in the screencap) were bolted to either end of the deathtube.
While I regret that our health care system regularly forces people to consider cost when making life-or-death decisions, I’m grateful that insurance will help my husband and me pay for the health care we need.
Still love the truck, though!
The level of self-submission to ruthless, cutthroat capitalist ideology on display here is astounding, not surprising any more but astounding. I would even classify this as self-harming thought. The people of this country are utterly beyond hope.
I want to believe Kamala Harris is right when she says “we are not going back” to a time when every calamity leaves us on our own.
I, too, am pumped to see what other progressive, highly beneficial bangers the "2.7% interest rate reduction on Federal/non-private student loan debt while operating a charitable business for >3 years in a disadvantaged community" capitalist comes up with next.
This reactionary shitstain getting iced by some rifle-toting kid from his own side of the political spectrum is the most poetic justice shit I've seen in years. I'm genuinely happy for his death. The world is a slightly better place with people like this in the ground.
Add on-campus housing and food plan and it's another $8-15k per year on top of that for in-state, maybe more now. And that covers the two main semesters only, summer and winter sessions have their own extra costs.
This 4chan teenager got us all figured out, we're doomed. He learned well from his middle-aged neo-nazi groomers on /pol/, his brave screed is worthy of a crosspost between /r/IAmVeryBadAss and /r/cringe!
Also got scammed by an obvious mlm scheme
They didn't take him for enough if the shameless POS still can afford internet and housing to spew his sociopathic shit from.
People are more convinced that inflation will keep falling, and their outlook on their personal finances has also improved.
The rate of inflation fell ever so slightly, my 'outlook' on personal finances is still "work my body and joints to dust until 5 years before biological death" but hey, I can maybe retire to a lavish life of discount bulk pet food and a cardboard box apartment paid for with 70% of my Social Security income like 2 days earlier than previous, now. Pop the fucking corks!
The job market remains strong
Strong for who? Strong for fucking who? Try getting literally any god damn job as a blue collar these days. Nightmare mode if you have psychological issues. Just fucking try and you will see how swell it is. That one blissful year or so of companies hiring any warm body off the street during and immediately after the COVID19 outbreak is over, the 'getting a job' process has been back to business as usual for over two years now.
That entire post reeks of Langley holy fuck.
I'm comforted by reasonable suspicion that for posts like that, with the perfect English, drawing the ludicrous comparison to Jewish people to light up the outrage neurons, and all the fucking JAQing off and sealioning bullshit almost guarantees you could trace that user back to an IP in the US.
I've seen that prose, childish storytelling with the loaded questions, and "how do you do, fellow Freedom™ lovers" angle so many times on that shithole site since at least the Hong Kong fiasco in 2019. It's just too obvious any more.
He's a snide liberal shithead and always has been. Back in 2018 or so when /r/breadtube was new, I remember the lost libs and socdem types there showering his name in praise because they believed he "moved people left" or some other delusional nonsense (to them it was 'moving left' just with Ronald Reagan as the starting point I think). They thought he was some kind of leftist because he shot down a few actual right-wingers in debates, a very low bar to clear for even a liberal centrist.
Then I watched his debates with Luna Oi and a separate one with some left-aligned guy whose name I forgot and he showed his whole pro-capitalist ass. The chat stream from his followers was no better. Probably half of them were regulars on /pol/ and had browser tabs open to that shithole, judging by the endless racist and edgelord remarks I was able to read as they flew by.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on, and his followers too.
If that old billy be the Devil, I'd have danced with him myself
