I find great joy in knowing that literally anyone could get him into a hissy fit. Any random twitter account, no matter how famous or completely anonymous, can cause him to feel utterly hurt with the weakest of burns. You could call him a booger head, and he’d be fuming about it for hours. The most powerful person in the world could be brought to mental ruination by a 3-year old. I should find that horrifying, but instead I laugh.

Any random twitter account, no matter how famous or completely anonymous, can cause him to feel utterly hurt with the weakest of burns. Moreover, we now know basically all of his triggers, so you just need to daisy chain enough of them together to make him really explode. For example: "hey @RealDonaldTrump! Your personal wealth is the same size as your hands: tiny. Also you're stupider than a dog and you lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton. Get stuffed."

The eviction apocalypse won't be that bad becasue what's really protecting people in a lot of places is state or local eviction moratoriums, not federal ones. Many of these are still getting extended. CA for example definitely will. It will still be real loving bad though.

I can't really think of a non-fascist situation in which people use the word "contraband". Its explicit use in context is always "these things that are bad, but if we called them what they are it wouldn't sound bad"

Just realized that those mason jars will probably be big enough to contain a teargas grenade. Also just LOL’ing at what they consider contraband = anything that is used to defend against attacking police. Contraband would be improvised melee weapons and crossbows.

As a Canadian, I find everything so loving baffling. Some states it's just totally cool to carry an AK47 into Walmart or a McDonalds. You know, just totally normal and cool, and not at all threatening. Meanwhile, having a Hockey stick at a protest is "contraband" because what, it might suggest violent intentions? Because guns in everyday life doesn't?!

Whoever planted it was a moron and the “Molotov” wicks ended up wicking all the fluid in the jars out onto the magazines. If it was some kind of fuel oil or kerosene it probably had some solvent action on the paint. The whole thing is dumb af

If anyone was wondering about life at the edges, I'm fortunate enough to be getting unemployment in Washington state, since I can't teach fitness in person anytime soon. That's $235/week now that the $600 is ending. Luckily, I'm now eligible for food assistance without that extra $600. So that's an extra $43 for food. A month. I really wonder why they even bother with it, because it seems like it'd cost more to adminsiter than the $11/week they pay out. Average rent in Seattle is like $2,000. I'm fine financially, and none of that is a plea for help or anything. But as the nouveau poor, hats off to anyone who has/had to survive like that. But there's a real figure if you know anyone that thinks people are living well off the government teat.

SubG posted:Those are anarchist beans. You can tell because they're not Goya. Also, there’s a free food kitchen (Riot Ribs) literally across the street to provide free aid to protestors, the houseless, and anybody else who wanders by, and which has been repeatedly raided/smashed/destroyed by the Feds when “clearing rioters”. So there’s a real good chance those beans were just there for eating and the cops picked them up off the ground.

Anyone was was living off the government teat, like the disabled or elderly for example, have a known fixed income and live within those means. For the millions of people who went from surviving or living well to barely making enough to eat is going to hit a lot real hard.

It's one thing to know the statistics but hearing and seeing the loving deprivation people are being forced into is just infuriating. I hope you (and all of us) make it through this okay. Are there any mutual aid or food support organizations in your area that you can reach out to?

I really didn't. I certainly didn't know how little people get with food assistance. When the lady on the phone said I'd get $43 I said, "a week?" and the way she paused before saying it was the for the whole month was a mix of "look at this new guy" and "it breaks my heart to tell you this". I'd never been on unemployment before either. I had some background awareness that it was tough (and expensive) to be poor, but not the specifics.

It's a powder keg. Is "it will not be 40% of all renters in california (or half of lousiana or texas, or whatever) getting evicted bad, but still very bad" too complex a thought for you to grasp? The federal moratorium that is set to expire is not the thing that was preventing most evictions. A lot depends on state and local eviction moratoriums. The apocalyptic numbers that the chart I was responding to was putting up won't happen. That doesn't mean that really bad poo poo won''t happen. It probably will.

Apparently the new proposal makes the federal UI supplement count towards eligibility for low-income programs (it didn't before), which by my napkin math means I'll lose my eligibility for Medicaid while I'm still dealing with the fallout of a severe medical situation Oh well, it was nice while it lasted

Is it genuinely just Biden's opposition pulling them there? I always thought Biden's opposition didn't matter since the money and lobby, not to mention the voters, are all behind it so it's a no-brainer that they'd force his hand on. Jesus Christ just when I let the tiniest bit of optimism in too.
