  • Lmao I basically did this as a kid on the school bus.

    Bus driver forgot my stop(Small school, so we were dropped off directly at our house). It wasn’t until the last kid besides me was dropped off that I realized the driver wasn’t just taking a weird route that day, and it wasn’t until we got to the FUCKING BUS YARD that I actually popped my head over the seat and made my presence known.

    To explain why I didn’t say anything, I lied and pretended I had been asleep the whole time and had just woken up








  • On one hand you’re not wrong. I’ve been driving with expired plates all year because I can’t afford the work needed to pass emissions, and I already used my hardship extension last year. The alternative is losing my job, my ability to get a job, my ability to get to a grocery store in under an hour, etc…

    On the other hand, though… I’m not sure what this guy was expecting. Like, the vast majority of the cops in my area do not give a flying fuck about expired plates, but I’m still gonna make a turn I didn’t need to if it means avoiding passing a cop. This guy literally livestreamed himself committing the crime he was accused of directly to the judge.


  • Okay then.

    Explain that to a diabetic child when Trump gets rid of the insulin price cap that enables their parents to afford it.

    Explain that to a trans person who, if the republicans gets their way, will be considered a sexual predator and imprisoned(at best…) for simply existing in public.

    Explain that to a woman forced to carry her rapists baby to term when, if Trump gets his way, abortion is federally criminalized. Scratch that, explain that to a child forced to die from their ectopic pregnancy.

    Explain that to Ukraine when we stop supporting them against Russia… hell, explain that to Ukraine when we end up supporting Russia against Ukraine.

    Explain that to EVERYONE when Trump’s “I’ll be a dictator, but only on day 1” comment becomes a reality and doesn’t stop after day 1.

    I could go on.

    By all means, continue to delude yourself into believing you are making the just and moral decision. It won’t stop anyone else from seeing that your morals are entirely performative.


  • Third party candidates and parties exist. They don’t suddenly cease to exist simply because the 2 right-wing parties we’ve had forced upon us have gone out of their way to prevent them from participating.

    Ah yes, the great and amazing third parties of the US. In this corner we’ve got the Libertarians, aka the “republicans that like weed and dislike age of consent laws” party, and in the other corner we have the Green Party, aka the “pops up every election year to complain how both sides are bad, before promptly returning to the ether upon the elections conclusion” party.

    Such good options, I truly don’t know why anyone wouldn’t want to vote for one of those two. /s



  • I’m Canadian and have absolutely no dog in this fight.

    Then kindly shut the fuck up. I’m an American, I’ve ACTUALLY had to live in this country with Trump and Biden as president, and it’s no contest for me. I’d take Biden at his worst over Trump any day. That doesn’t mean Biden is good, it means Trump is just that fucking bad.

    It’s not a valid question at all. “Are you legally able to work in the United States” has been a question on literally every single job application I’ve ever filled out. There’s zero valid reasons for the interviewer to not know the answer already, and even less than zero valid reasons for them to phrase the question the way they did.
