My parents: "Adoption is amoral. Those children come from godless families."

My sister can't have kids, adopts two.

My parents: "Adoption is God's way of making sure every child can grow up in a loving home."

🤢 As someone who just went through a very lengthy adoption process to rescue my niece and nephew from the system, that first line makes me feel extra sick. How the fuck can you be so full of nastiness towards parentless children who got into the system through life circumstances they couldn't possibly help.

Well it probably happened to you because you are a sinner or smth. That is how they think.

Religion is a cancer on society. All religion. You cannot changemty mind.

She, like most republicans, was an absolute fucking cunt and nobody of worth mourned her death.

My dad:

"Student loans shouldn't be forgiven, they should be paid back! Oh, you still owe $10k in student loans? Well I hope yours is forgiven"

America really needs a better schooling system... Here in Switzerland the ETH, (which is rated 10th place of the best schools in the world I think) is only 800.- (about 1-2 week's worth of salary) per semester, which is nothing compared to what private schools in the US demand, whilst still having quality education. So I believe the biggest issue is the quality difference between state-owned schools and private schools, as private school should be allowed to charge whatever they want, but the state has the responsability to provide quality education to everyone for a decent price.

TBF they still don’t give a shit about you, they’re just fixing things for themselves and the collateral damage is that it helps others in similar situations.

There was a website that estimates IQs (emphasis on estimate) based on writing. It estimates that news reporters averaged 100-120, Stephen Hawking's last work was in the 150s, Alexander Hamilton had works in the 160s, and Qanon conspiraters on Facebook averaged 75-89. Obviously they're estimates, but it seems rather accurate within margin.

Edit: found it!! so you guys can try it yourselves!

I entered sections from my papers I wrote during my master's and I guess I range from 128-151 as my lowest and highest during that time. Great ego boost for the day lol.

Fuck you Nancy and the privileged piece of shit horse you and fuckface Ronnie rode in on

Rock Hudson called up Nancy and Ronnie after he was diagnosed with AIDs - they had been friends for a long time. He asked them to help him get treatment from a French hospital, to send some sort of message or advocate on his behalf. They refused.

Ronald Reagan’s inaction on HIV/AIDs is what turned it into a pandemic. There was a refusal to fund research or advocate for preventative practices, because it was the “gay disease.” Nancy and Ronald can rot in piss.

when a congressman suggested to his colleagues that we even look into what AIDS is, he was laughed off the floor because "Why do you care? Are you one of those people?"

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (4 children)

You say that, but Nancy Reagan gave a lot of blowjobs and didn't get a lot of returned favors in kind.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The act of giving is its own reward

Practices astrology - something that gets tagged as "satanic" by the evangelicals and their entertainment industry - to the point that there is ~~one~~ an astrologer in the White House or Reagan payroll, gets praised by all the evangelicals anyway. Fishy, fishy people that they are. Stinky and slippery.

EDIT: added detail for clarity

[–] KreekyBonez@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

they would order air force one to delay landing if the astrologer told them landing too early was a bad omen.

they gave the astrologer classified information, which she then sent to "people with computers" to analyze their relevance to star charts.

the astrologer gave ol' throat-goat Nancy the idea to be tough on drugs "in the community," but like, not the white communities.

even when Ronnie was almost assassinated, the astrologer said she totally saw it coming... but didn't say anything.

it's almost like there's a chimp-with-a-machine-gun methodology for the GOP to hire the most inept people, and end up hurting themselves in the process of using the country and citizens as pawns and property.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Being able to understand other people struggles is only called "empathy" if you are capable of doing it without actually being in their situation. Otherwise it's just sparkling hypocrisy.

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago

This is the biggest problem with the GO, iif you forgive the racism, gaslighting, lying, faciast, authoritarians, war mongers, idiots/morons... ect. The issues are too big for everyone one else to wait til an issue actually affects you.

[–] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Republicans are basically just knock off Nazis

[–] LucasWaffyWaf@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can only call them Nazis if they're from the German regions, otherwise you call it sparkling fascism.

Wasnt she the throat goat? I’m sure there were a few actors who mourned the loss of her skillset

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

She still doesn't give a shit about you, her interests might align better with yours but she still only gives a shit about herself.

yeah its like a baby. if it doesn't affect me it doesn't exist. lots of people in power share the exact same mentality. that's why most of them act like babies all the time.
