can we yeet all these individualistic, self-righteous fucks into a volcano already?
I’m so tired of having to convince these unempathetic, short-sighted dregs that caring about your fellow human is actually a good thing, and, y’know, kinda the whole basis to having a functioning civilization
Preach
I hear they’re selling 9mm volcanoes like hot cakes. Got yourself some if you’re sanguine about it.
Because “f u, I got mine” (and the other side of the coin too: “if I got fugged, so will you”) is the one true creed in American society, and everyone that opposes it is a heretic/commie.
Hooray for me and fuck you!
Do we know if she supports paying for her son’s incarceration?
Oof is not really the appropriate title.
The title should be whatever response you would make when somebody detonates a nuclear warhead directly inside of your soul.
If I was her, I would put my phone down and walk outside of my house into the woods and never return.
The title should be whatever response you would make when somebody detonates a nuclear warhead directly inside of your soul.
So oof.
For me, it’s more of the Wilhelm scream.
I will never understand how I can always hear that scream perfectly in my head when its name is mentioned.
Like, I can’t remember what I had for breakfast ten minutes ago.
Oh gawd I hope this is real…thats <stable>
Noooot really a shitpost?
one person’s shit post is another’s shitpost
Allow me to shit-respond.
Reality has a “left bias”.
This is why all conservative subreddits have to curate who can post there because it easily shows that they are really a fringe group that don’t reflect the general population.
Yeah, liberal/left subs definitely don’t do that.
You mean tag users and automatically block comments from users that weren’t approved?
Lemmy LOVES this ragebait shit
Lemmy is not some homogeneous hive-mind.
The show-me state strikes again
Perpetuating the myth that student loan forgiveness means “your taxes are paying off student loans,” when it really means “government is telling banks to fuck off with their excessive interest rates on student loans.”
Tax money isn’t going to the banks* or the students. The students have usually paid off the loans, and are now struggling with the interest debt. The gov’t telling the bank to give up on that debt isn’t hurting anyone, but the bank doesn’t get as much profit as they could have - and since the banks own the senators & media outlets, we get the myth that student loan forgiveness means “taxes paying off student loans.”
*note - I think some deals do include the gov’t giving the banks some money to “cover their (imaginary) losses.”
Also in the US, the bottom 50% don’t pay a dime in federal income taxes.
Also the concept of “MY” tax dollars is super selfish.
Imma need a source on that. Bottom 50% of who?
The bottom 50% of Americans make less than $40k a year. They do pay some federal taxes, but with the standard deduction, the 19.3% of working Americans that make less than $15k a year don’t pay any federal taxes. The standard deduction goes up to $22.5k for a head of household (i.e. a single working parent). Given that the federal minimum wage still works out to $15,080 a year, that means a full-time minimum wage worker doesn’t make enough to get hit with income taxes.
Edit: Here’s a wikipedia article with the numbers I pulled and the tax bracket info is on the IRS website: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States
An important thing to note is that 50% don’t pay federal tax, as you said here
They still pay sales tax and taxes of that sort (which actually are significant), just not the federal income/property taxes
Yes, federal income tax. Let’s also add that sales tax are far more regressive than other forms of taxation. Some places use those taxes more that are more likely to disproportionately affect the lower income population.
I know this is not the point, of the post, but what the hell do they mean by calling the raped teen a Battlefield teen? Was she a pro gamer?
I think that’s the town where it happened.
Ohh I see, thanks
Battlefield is named for its proximity to the 1861 Battle of Wilson’s Creek, one of the first large battles of the American Civil War.
It would not have occurred to me that you’d call a town that.
Our ancestors worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week. Maybe we should go back to that just to be fair. My grandparents didn’t have the polio vaccine better stop that too.
We’ll all become peasants who serve a lord and we’ll call it natural living
CEOs, “Sounds wonderful. Lets!”

I’m not saying you’re wrong, because it could very well be the case, but it doesn’t mention in the post that he is her husband-son.
You went to school, got the degree, and accepted the terms of the loans. Welcome to adulthood.
Ah yes, the I suffered so should you argument
No it is more an argument of responsibility. Many students didn’t go to college because they researched how much it costs, the terms of the loans, and made the decision they could not afford it. These are the people being cheated and I don’t support that.
You’re missing the part where, because of federal interest in schooling loans (because the government wants a well-educated population, typically), you have a captive market with colluding loan companies that abuse said federal interest to jack up education prices and interest rates. In other words, you don’t have an option but to accept the ‘terms’ of the predatory loans unless you don’t go to college… except the federal government wants you to go to college.
So student loan forgiveness is basically the federal government yanking the collusion back and going “no, they pay off the loan and a REASONABLE AMOUNT OF DEBT, and the rest of the absurdity you’re trying to shovel gets canceled because it should have never been tried in the first place.”
And then conservatives whine and cry about their tax money going to 'paying off student loans" because conservatives are idiots that can’t comprehend why a rich person would lie to them.
Your education has nothing to do with societal expectations, political parties, or the evils of capitalism. You made a choice, gave your word, and entered into an agreement. Honor your agreement.
The point is that you DIDN’T make a choice, because you were colluded against. Why so much focus on honoring your agreement, when they aren’t honoring their agreements?
This women doesnt want to pay for someone elses university degree, she cant have that opinion, lets hang her!
