Annihilate your demons

There is also a cut off difference with the economic collapse.

The millennials that graduated into a good job market and those that graduated into a bad job market. The ones that graduated into a good job market are more similar to boomers in my experience.

The only millenials I know who actually made out like bandits are the ones who knew how to code or how to bullshit as though they did, were born early 80s, and went straight from high school into the dotcom thing before it burst.

On the chest of a barmaid in Sale, were tattooed the prices of ale. And on her behind for the sake of the blind, was the same information in braille.

I was born in 84 and got into industry just before it all went to poo poo in 2008 and had enough of a reputation and was willing to basically travel wherever they wanted to send me to stay on, and also know how to code...etc.

I also took the route of going 'right into a job' at a big contractor instead of doing the whole 'professional development program' which is basically interning 3 different departments over 2 years, a looooot of them got laid off.

So uh, when Republicans do strip away protections for pre-existing conditions, how are they going to explain that? I mean they'll blame the Dems somehow, but what's their end game on this? Hoping no one cares?

just being extremely racist so no one notices their extremely unpopular economic policies like the last uhhhhh 60 years

Look man, everything you need to know about America can be extrapolated from reading The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber.

Relevant to the current discussion, everyone has a calling and predestination is the correct theology. If you're being a royal poo poo to immigrants, it's because those immigrants are bad people who deserve it and also because you are following your calling - which god pre-ordained for you to follow, which means it is actually a very good thing for you to do and you should keep doing it. If any of the outcomes and premises herein were false, then the situation wouldn't be like it is; that the situation is as it is gives proof to the fact that these suppositions and their conclusions are correct. FYGM, and also I am going to heaven.

gillum is gonna sweep and desantis will scream the N word in rage at the concession speech or some horrible poo poo. also that is probably the plan but it won't work because trump and the current GOP is loving terrible at propaganda for anyone outside the Base.


also on a nice note, My family moved to a new house and now we have a gently caress ton of tricker treatiers, its awesome. happy Halloween nite crew.
