Amen brother. People who believe Left Behind “theology” will believe literally fucking anything.

THANK YOU. 19th century dispensationalist dumbass innovations are frickin annoying.

In many instances it makes perfect sense. What about all the people with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Jean,” “DJ,” etc etc. Am I supposed to guess their pronouns? What about jobs where people work with internationals who may not be familiar with the gender that is typically associated with English names? And perhaps most importantly, why not make pronoun signatures commonplace as a low-effort way to help transitioning people to feel welcomed in the workplace instead of pointlessly alienating an already shit-upon population? In other words, why be a dick? It’s more fun to be cool.

I think we’ll be seeing more about him someday. Many pieces perhaps.

Tractor man, stupid dogs, horse people, fast truck, guy who waves, people across the way.

Yeah, I’m rural

Not in this economy!

I am poor in the US. My family is on Medicaid. Depending on household size, a family qualifies for Medicaid based on household income. Renewal is a pain in the ass. We always get denied initially, then have to fight for reinstatement. It’s scary. I have a kid that depends on medicine to stay alive. I’m working on growing my side business to pull us out of the poorhouse but it’s a dance. I have to time the growth to occur between renewal periods. I could grow enough to get kicked off Medicaid for good but not enough to afford private insurance. So I have to either stay poor or have phenomenal growth in a six-month period. If I fail, I could lose everything and my kid could die. Poverty: 0/5 stars.

I agree. I also hope there’s someone to actually root for.

I don’t like him, but this is funny.

In a perfect world, yes, but at least where I live it’s easier to get rid of something by making it expensive and drowning it in red tape and tax code. People love their freedumb.

Simple solution: tax the shit out of short term rental income.

A) this is the western view B) I first read “sin free” as “free to sin” which actually made more sense to me since the biggest assholes I know are highly devoted Christians.
