When I was a kid, my parents would wax poetically about their summers spent picking strawberries and green beans earning 25 cents a day in California Central Valley. They loved it, apparently.

Good, honest work they told me. Then as I got older they demanded I attend college and get a white collar career established, lol.

I dunno man. I’m a white male, grew up with privilege in an upper middle class family.

I’ve had (2) times when totally random people tried to murder me at night. One while I was cycling, another when my friends and I came out of a movie theater and got chased halfway across the city by a carload of thugs.

Trump is going to demand billions in cash donated to his personal bank account, from every country on earth. He just takes in $170 today from businesses paying him bribes.

He’s saluting the crowd for their support

He pocketed $170 million today

Is this supposed to be funny, or are you a bot trying to normalize how fucked up this is?

30 minutes? I got a 24 hour ad one time, during the pandemic. It was this trippy art video thing where worms were eating the universe. Or something. I don’t know, but it was animated in a hand drawn style.

Those were strange times

Oh I have. I had a coworker who used to brag that when his daughter had a date, he would open his garage door and start cleaning his guns so the kid would see him.

Nope, not at all. My parents berated me until I was 35 to “wait until you’re ready to have kids.” Then they were like, why are you waiting to have grandkids?! You’ve been married for 5 years!!!

This is just more of the left war against Christmas!

Jesus would definitely approve of… Dicks out for Santa.

Oh damn! Shoplifter! I remember that!

Apple is just overcooked Linux.

Interesting. Our local art museum pays their philanthropic director about $170k. Smaller org of course.

Last time I checked prison was the real alternative.

You think a zoo CEO being paid $1.2 million per year is normal? Really???

Wow, that’s crazy. I just checked out my local zoo and there are only 2 executives with a pay package of $200k. The rest are unpaid trustees.

When I was first teaching my son the alphabet, we got to “W” and, before I could say it, he called it “two vees!” It was so cute.

Stores still accept cash? What is this, the 17th century?!

I hate self checkout. I work all day to then check out my shit and bag my own groceries? And pay 2x for the same food and less service than 5 years ago?

Having been banned from every subreddit I ever subscribed to, this sounds about right.

Then you message the mid, nothing.

My favorite was when I posted one comment on some obscure have subreddit about the Ukraine war.

Then I was immediately bagged from like a dozen other subreddits, many of which I had never heard of. Reasons included violating political rules … on a gaming subreddit about a game that simulates war between Russia and NATO. Go figure.
