This is easy for me to say but progress requires sacrifice, it requires death. If we can kill the GOP quickly by eliminating Trump, DeSantis, McConnell and everyone who is not an acolyte of Emperor Palpatine's chosen succesor; Maybe we can minimize the carnage; Fewer women, regardless of gender, would die or face torture; Fewer children permanently damaged by hegemony and fear. Traumatized, indoctrinated children, women who make up 50% of the population, every minority that scared the GOPs beast and ultimately it's because I'm an Atheist and the Nazi's just came for the Jews, I'm not next but I'm on the list. I'm scared, I'm a beneficiary of the hegemony but I always thought the world could be better if we were just nice. I know the Orcs have a long march to The Shire but if we Hobbits of the Heartland help now we can save Hobitton AND Middle-Earth. May the death of the GOP be swift, brutal, and absolute; If Pete Ricketts is still my Senator than the GOP will return like cancer.

2023-04-11 05:35:28 +0000 UTCHow do you have hope in a world where there's nothing coming to save you? It's the world we live in there's no happy fairy tale that everything's just going to work out but how do you have enough hope to greet the day without just ending it all? I use productivity to distract myself from that for a while and I don't do that anymore cuz it didn't go well.

2023-03-09 04:32:34 +0000 UTCI know this isn't on topic but I need some advice from you know the people that'll understand where I'm coming from hopefully. Life has been kicking me into teeth repeatedly lately. Not even lately it's been years. I feel like a raw wound and while working on pulling myself out of a hole I've run into another person that is spouting off universe woo and it's just making me more angry and sad. The insurance exam course I'm taking the instructor has on more than one occasion said the universe is there for you and the universe leads you on different paths but it all happens for a reason. It makes me so angry whenever I hear that bullshit because it feels like the same false hope as pray about it. God will never give you more than you deserve or that you can handle.

2023-03-09 04:30:45 +0000 UTCCan you subscribe to the RSS feed, or by MP3 player do you mean an actual old school MP3 player? RSS is the easiest way to get podcasts so you don't miss any.

2023-03-06 03:38:31 +0000 UTCEli got me. When he said "Sight scuff" on the quaran I assumed they were downplaying it because my brain did fill in more details, assuming no way would they suspend 4 students over a scuff but looking at the pictures, WOW! Not a single one of my year 10 textbooks were even half as nice as the "desecrated" book. In year 10 it would have taken me one period at recess to do twice as much damage gently dropping my books next to the soccer field to go play. If anything, those kids took good care of it for their age. It honestly just looks like they let their books touch the ground once ever.

2023-03-06 03:36:24 +0000 UTCOK, how do I get these podcasts now? I don't listen to podcasts much in the winter, so I tend to get pretty far behind. But I came here to download new versions to my mp3 player and the download link doesn't work for most of these. As far as I can tell, the "Download" link still works through SA515, but after that it only works for SA523. For all of the rest of these, clicking on the "Download" link only opens up a new tab in my browser, giving me no opportunity to download the audio file to my mp3 player.

2023-03-05 15:24:27 +0000 UTCI enjoyed it again this week. Especially the bit on the nonsense happening here in West Yorks. People are still losing their shit over it even though it, and it's getting harder and harder to not just go full Heath on them.

His creditors and the court will use the proceedings to track down and seize all his assets, and it's very likely that Alex will ultimately go to jail for the efforts he'll take to try to defraud them.
