All that aside, I used to be a repair technician for a specific brand of ice cream machines and out of all the types of stores and kitchens I’d go in to, country clubs were almost always the worst.
I’ve never been a golf club, but somehow, I have no problem believing that. But my impressions may be coming from watching Curb, lol…somehow that golf club just strikes me as being seedy…
Too busy worrying about ThE dEi, I imagine.
Yes, but they are PWNING TEH LIBZ!
Why can’t you see how that makes everything better?
Seriously, I was talking to one of the cons I know this weekend and he’s balls-deep in the MAGA Cinematic Universe. This is someone that thinks we were living under tyranny under Obama and under Biden, and now that we have “freedom”, he looks forward to the economy being so much more beautiful (he also idiotically thinks that the economy under Biden - and which was the envy of the world was just terrible - though to be fair, I keep hearing centrists, and quite a few so-called “leftists” say the exact same dopey thing in spite of all the evidence of my eyes).
Oh thank goodness these asshats are doing some performative bullshit to distract from their destruction of so many other things. I am still paying $4 a gallon for gas, but at least I can say that donvict is “owning the libs” or whatever the fuck.
Many of them will never get over vaccine mandates.
And many of them literally think that Fauci should get the death penalty for some supposed transgression. Nothing they say is even remotely rooted in reality and it’s all quite incoherent, but boy are they mad.
They hated so many things about the pandemic. I don’t think the Venn diagram of the various idiotic pet peeves and conspiracy theories is exactly one circle, but there seems to be a lot of resentment for many things coming from the same basic set of people, clustered in the Republican Party. They hated so many things.
The government stepping to help people in need with stimulus checks. This seemed to enrage a lot of them, even if they cashed that check themselves.
The notion that there was a safe and effective vaccine seems to have really driven them up the wall. I don’t know if it’s because they saw lots of people not relying on “thoughts and prayers” when it came to a pandemic? They really hated being laughed at about the horse dewormer stuff, let me tell you that much.
I think what drove some of them the craziest is that many of them have a need to be in-person to bully someone and Covid probably denied them a lot of that. I noticed the people wanting people “back to work” the most were these types. I think Joe being able to “campaign from his basement” as donnie failed to get re-elected and do the most basic of things to be popular during a pandemic really just drove them to total incoherence. Many of them were already marginal with the Pizzagate and Qanon shit, but Covid drove them right off a cliff. I think Obama getting elected, then Covid drove a large portion of our population into batshit insanity.
Thank goodness we have the stupid conservatives in power so they can politicize everything.
Like getting a “stamp” for having the Devil’s lettuce before states started decriminalizing.
A totally-compromised FDA, that is.
Well, fuck, what a “hostile and political act” to say the obvious.
In the mind of a MAGAt, you are supposed to go bankrupt, for “freedom” or some shit, I guess.
I also hate the excuse - and I just heard Spicer use it most recently - about how donvict/Republicans are “just” triggering the left.
That is their fucking excuse for so much, and even IF they were “only” triggering the left - why the fuck are supposed adults in government spending any time at all trying to trigger the left? How is that even in the least bit responsible?
Even the excuse, taken at face value, is complete and total bullshit.
I swear a whole lot of men vote Republican because of marketing - meaning, some of them seem to think their penis will turn into a vagina if they vote Democratic.
Yeah, but all the millions of the temporarily-embarrassed future multi-millionaires side with the obscenely parasitic rich, because my word, they might be part of the parasitic class too some day, and just imagine if a fraction of their wealth were to go toward someone getting reasonable health care coverage w/o being tied to a business, or having decent sick leave!
“But they represent the people”.
Or, better yet - “we cannot have mere MAJORITIES of those people in the cities overriding the good people (read: white people) living in the hinterlands of the state/country - land should be just as important a factor as the number of people in a region…”
So let me see if I follow the anti-vaxxer dumbfuckery…
Um, you have to be a special sort of moron to be Black and a fan of Hitler…sure, those Nazis might be your bud for a little while, and maybe use your money and fame to fund their cause. Right up until the Night of the Long Knives 2.0.
LOL, in New York Times headline, “and Post-Presidency Travel”
that dude seems to plan to try to stay by any means necessary until he shuffles off this mortal coil.
I seem to remember some testing they were trying out with some kind of computer-powered sail to give a big assist - the people interested were especially interested in the savings in cost, not so much the environment.
That was easily 20 years ago, so I’m guessing it didn’t work out.
All too expected.
