I have this urge to go put some of these “I support the thing” signs in some of my neighbors yards. We live in the lowest crime area of our city in NC, and it’s all custom brick homes with perfectly manicured lawns. About half our neighbors are completely detached from consequences and thus reality. The woke neighbors are 100% NIMBYs.

It’s a well armed neighborhood, but the “I support the thing” neighbors are completely rules for thee. It became insanely obvious through Covid and extends to guns and security even though we don’t yet have any actual crime (I’m sure it’s coming because the city voted like 78% Biden). They think people “like us,” not currently getting robbed, stabbed, raped, shot at can “handle” guns, but “less educated” people can’t, even though they are the victims of actual crime.

My neighbors would know exactly who did it, since they complain about the fact it’s not worth going anywhere more than 5 minutes from home because of the raging crime and I’m quick to remind them they voted for it. 😂. Fortunately in person most people still have a sense of humor and while annoyed they’d at least laugh. At least I think they do.

African Americans have the greatest rate of obesity of any demographic, yet the woke obsession is confined to only the label rather than the contents of the bottle which is essentially a tub of high-fructose corn syrup -- the #1 precursor to obesity and diabetes.

It's OK to be fat and sick so long as you're not offended by the label.

An equitable toaster will of course only toast Breads Of Color. It will automatically detect and refuse to toast White Bread (or apportion less toasting power to achieve less toast-ness for White Bread).

Yukon Dave's avatar

To be fair. No one misquoted Trump. Trump pointed out in his experience, a great number of women are attracted to him because he is rich and a star and they throw themselves at him.

For some reason we have people that do not know about this phenomenon and pretend it does not exist. The women he supposedly grabbed, he was going to see her that day and they were going to go shopping together for furniture. Not the behaviour of someone that has been assaulted.

Yes, I know. Which is why I have been stockpiling "to the rafters". Even before the current threat of world famine and skyrocketing food prices, I have been a prepper. For years. It's in the blood, as I tell people; Father was a Mormon and Mother was a tree squirrel. It's good to be prepared. Think we have at least a winter's worth of food put by. My goal is two years' worth. It takes planning, commitment, know-how and some space, but it can be done.

Let’s remember that Dr Simone Gold is in prison right now, just a few days into her 60 day sentence for “trespassing”. She’s a political prisoner, a doctor and attorney in a very scary environment. We’ve been hearing every day about Britney Griner (who also doesn’t deserve the sentence she has in a Russian prison) but the US is being equally arbitrary and punitive. It’s a damned shame. Whatever we can do to support her, let’s do so.
