@WashedOutGundamPilot @Humpleupagus @dew_the_dew But Aerith is canonically beautiful (whether or not you agree, it is the case in-universe). So she cannot be trans.

Also, would have to choose Tifa over Aerith.

@Kinochet @Terry thank for the info.

@Kinochet @Terry Sorry, who or what is TRS? Sounds like cringe if they believe what every big tech platform was circling the wagons to proclaim.

@BallisticPig Yeah, avocado toast is another meme. The point of that statement, as boomerish as it is, was not that avocado toast was breaking millennials' bank accounts, but rather that they are making too many small purchases over time that add up to a lot of money, especially eating out.

You are probably right about fathers too. Though having a father in the home is no saving grace if he is reckless with his spending too. But having no father is usually far worse.

Women are especially guilty of the sentiment that "I have to go traveling." They may make the excuse that they cannot let down their friends who also want to travel. Chances are, their friends are also guilty of the same bad financial practices and using the same excuses to spend money they do not have.

Don't get me started on how many people think that they are "saving money" by getting airline miles. News flash: you have to spend a lot of money to get those "free" airline miles.

Yes, the meme of "but paying for Netflix is not the reason I am struggling financially" may have a point regarding that expense not causing financial problems alone, but that is just one of many sacred cows people have in their lives. All of which add up to far more than they think.

It's even worse when debt spending is involved for purchases, as that just makes the problem far worse for people who already cannot afford everything they think they have to have.

Every time I observe someone discussing how terrible their financial situation is, I am always curious about how exactly they are using their money. How much of it is going towards expenses that are wasteful and unnecessary? Often, this is the case, since many people do not track their spending or understand how "going out for drinks once in a while" ends up biting them hard in their wallets.

@BallisticPig I forgot all about the thot audits, and that was before the IRS expansion crap going on. With the IRS expansion, there is no way they are not going to happen now.

@BallisticPig @CoolhandJames I remember when it did not take days into weeks to figure out election results. "But it happened in this case!" Which usually means there was fuckery going on. For example the 2008 election with the Democrats in Minnesota "finding" more votes for Al Franken in the back of some cars. Totally legit and not fraudulent at all!

@Aether @deprecated_ii This assumes that there is any merit to the climate change hysteria. Given that there isn't, picking a year that is convenient to the narrative is par for the course to implement their globohomo agenda.

@deprecated_ii They made a big deal about taking back Kherson, but there has not been a peep about that whole offensive. Meanwhile there has been nothing but celebrations about taking an area that was far north of Kherson and was probably not that heavily defended.

Yeah, I think they failed trying to fight Russia once again.

@CoolhandJames Teachers in the US (not sure how many other countries do this too) get 3 months off every year in the summer. So much of the "underpaid" meme is due to only work 3/4's of the year. Add 33% to whatever their claimed pay is and you get a better idea about their earnings. That is, if they were to work the full year.

Apologies for paywalled content. The article alleges what many have suspected, that they have killed people with Covid19 protocols. Whether it was mindless order following or malice, this shit is why we should not just "trust the experts."

@Tfmonkey @spectre If Putin starts taking women's rights away in Russia, then we will know for sure.

@Nirty_Digger NPR is one of those "news" organizations that wants to make it seem like certain topics have a lot more complexity than it really does have, because the simple explanation that is most accurate is inconvenient to their narrative.

Case and point, rather than say that gay men are highly promiscuous, let's just pretend that there are other factors that could be involved other than faggots having no restraint with their screwing.

@furgar Now they are debating this after pushing the clot shots on the populace. Gee, what convenient timing.

"White people are not ready to talk about racism."

True for some that don't want to make waves, but I am ready. Every time a "conversation" comes up, I guarantee somewhere downstream that the "solutions" always come down to taking money from white people. Be it direct distribution or tax dollars that are paid by whites, they want money, plain and simple.

And no amount of restribution will ever be enough.
