This makes me feel old, but not as much as realizing I’m less than 10 years from senior discounts

I’d like to say I don’t understand what you’re going through.

I’m a 3x attempt survivor, disabled, and terrified. I’m on SSDI, Medicare/Medicaid, and in HUD housing. My situation is not the same but I see you.

I wish there was more I could offer, but you are not alone.

As a nearly 50 year old dude, never heard of it either

Ok, so does this kick off WW3 or are other nations just going to roll over and allow this to happen?

How the hell is this even a plausible timeline we’re living in?

Oh hey! I narrowly avoided this one. No SNAP here (yet)! Only SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and HUD housing 🤨

And Schumer will send another strongly worded letter.

Freaking ass had the chance to alter history potentially and he fucked it up.

I once worked at a retail job where at one time I had to work the 7AM shift. I get there and I’m the only male and all three of the female coworkers were pregnant.

I learned more about the female body than any single man should ever know.

9. Every day.

Wait…. Did I miss something? What’s going on in South Africa that we take on refugees? Shouldn’t we be, I dunno, accepting refugees from Gaza and Ukraine instead?

DEI and “woke culture” made me feel seen as a person with a disability and a facial paralysis. 100 years ago I would have been an orphan and hidden away. Not long before that I would have been “sacrificed” as an evil baby.

Did corporations cash in on that? Yes they did because that’s all corporations are supposed to do is make money and bleed the consumer.

If you are anti-woke and anti-DEI then you’re really saying you want to include everyone who looks like you and relegate those who don’t to obscurity either by way of deportation, exile, slavery, or death. It’s exactly like what every country perpetuating genocide has done in history.

What is your solution to my problem of again not feeling like I can go out in public because of this administration’s policies. What about to the LGBTQIA people who are afraid that their marriage will be nulled or are also afraid to go out in public?

Are you ok with fixing people different from you back to isolation, declining mental health, and attempts to take their life because of getting rid of DEI?

Someone has got to start talking about “inclusion” instead of division

You know what…I’d rather live in the Looney Toons universe over whatever the hellscape we’re living in now is.

Also I seriously want to visit an arcade now.

Stairway to Heaven / Highway to Hell

I agree with your version of entering hell being a trap door. Heaven would look like an alien abduction.

I think that’s very subjective to each person doing the recommending and also the person wanting said recommendations preferences.

Song; Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog

Bands: Linkin Park and Soundgarden

Kurt Cobain was the first death that really freaking hit me as a teenager, but I am not bothered by Nirvana.

When Dime got killed it took me a while to be able to listen to Pantera again. That was a damn gut punch.

Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington still haunt me to this day because I felt like I was seen when I listened to their music — especially Chester. I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life and have attempted 3 times (along with being an alcoholic). Those two bands just remind me of the dark times and I never want to go back.

Hunger Strike just because Cornell was part of that band and I loved the hell out of that song.

Bonus song: Bother by Stone Sour

Take everything I said above and multiply it by 100 with this song. Every word feels like a mirror on my soul and things get ugly

Ben Stiller

I just can’t. He makes me anxious just seeing him on screen. I so want to watch Meet the Fockers because DeNiro is one of my faves, I just can’t do it.

I dunno, I enjoyed the hell out of his acting in Sons of Anarchy

Holy cow!

Any guess as to what will happen? The US also has a debt ceiling issue coming up very soon too

I have both Medicaid and Medicare because I don’t make enough on SSDI to be able to afford Medicare premiums but it’s a requirement of SSDI to have it.

“There are 18 very important trading relationships, and we are currently negotiating with 17 of those trading partners,” Bessent told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government on Tuesday. “Approximately 97 or 98% of our trade deficit is with 15 countries, 18% of the countries are our major trading partners. And I would be surprised if we don’t have more than 80 or 90% of those wrapped up by the end of the year, and that may be much sooner.”

Uhhh…I’m not sure you understand the gravity of the self-made situation when you have major retailers saying shelves could be empty in weeks because of this stupidity.

“Obviously, we’re working as expeditiously as possible, but we’re not trying to make deals that are Band-Aids for the sake of making deals,” the official added.
