It must be so tiring for them being such miserable gits all the time. It'd be great if they could piss off and stop trying to impose their horrible world views on the rest of us. I think Alex Cooper is great and it's lovely news that she's having a baby.
Lemme tell you a thing.... I got hitched at 20 and knocked her right on up. We lived a life of abject misery, poverty, fighting and divorce. I walked out the door on my daughter's 3rd birthday and moved out of state to be with family. My daughter was raised absent her own father other than a week in the summer, a week at Christmas and rare phone calls because you still had to pay long distance. We are very close now, I tried to be there for her when I could.
I got myself fixed at 21 years old because I swore I would never sire another child with that woman.
getting married young and raising a family works out less often than these idiots imagine, but there is TONS of misery in the world because of it.
On the reverse side, just after college I went on a date with a woman I met at a show. She was really sweet and very pretty but attended Seattle Pacific University- a Christian school where students pledge celibacy and not to drink/do drugs. Good for her but I think young people should have sex and experiment with [some]drugs, so not a good culture fit for me.
"And let’s not forget about all of the MAGA Republicans who are always complaining that no one will date them because of how much they love Donald Trump."
Who certainly was far more in the "Sleeping with everyone" category all through his miserable life and yet they are willing to worship him in semi-divinity mode (but then all this control/resentment propaganda is aimed at women)
> Alex Cooper is actually living out the perfect feminist dream. The only problem is, that dream is not nearly as attainable for everyday women as they would like to believe.
It’s way more attainable than you want people to believe, and it’s way more attainable than you want it to be
Well, I don't hate to say this, and I could have said it a billion times better than that disgusting Pushaw object. She talks in trash SHITTERspeak/jargon and what little brain she ever had departed from the social media whoring rot.
There is another corollary to this kind of dishonesty in the Right and that is the Socialist who has nice things- according to them, you can't live in a nice place or wear nice clothes or go on a nice vacation if you are a Socialist because not wearing sackcloth and ashes makes you a hypocrite. It is the dumbest of dumb takes. Another is Poorz cannot have an XBox or a TV or even a refrigerator...my God these people are exhausting with their bad faith shaming and projection. Fuck then into the Sun!
It's always amusing to listen to "Christian" conservatives expect socialists to give all of their possessions away to the poor and live a life of altruistic service.
You know, the things Christ literally demanded of all of his followers.
Trump defends his $1.776 billion slush fund for fraudsters and insurrectionists, saying he could have stolen even more money from the American people if he wanted to.
Just saw a video about this here "super El Nino" that's forming. Apparently, those things can cause massive heat waves and droughts around the world.
Launching a stupid fucking war that will limit the ability of farmers to plant and care for food crops, due to the shortage and exorbitant cost of fertilizer and fuel needed for agriculture, is going to help so many people.
Help them to their graves, that is. The climate event brings droughts, so that should be fun for people in affected areas.
I've read, and can imagine, that dying of starvation is a pretty horrible way to die. People faced with starvation, like Russians during the post-revolution famines, turned to homemade Soylent Green.
"Russian Famine of 1921–1922: Affecting the Volga and Ural regions, this famine led to widespread reports of cannibalism and the illegal sale of human flesh in markets. American relief workers and Soviet officials documented thousands of cases."
I mean, my usual reaction when someone excitedly reveals her pregnancy is "Congratulations!" but I guess my etiquette book is outdated and the thing to do today is go on a pissy extended lecture and hold this woman up as everything you think is wrong with society.
I did some careful Begonia babby repotting from pure Sphagnum into a slightly altered Bagels standard mix. Adding some chopped Sphagnum to prepare the little ones for a life in what we plant people lovingly call "dirty Sphagnum", which is 2/3 chopped Sphagnum and 1/3 regular mix.
Begonia melanobullata has been taking off and should be just fine, Begonia amphioxous looks like it will be okay (fingers crossed), Begonia susaniae is just hanging in there without doing anything, and Begonia dracopelta's rhizome has withered but it was able to put out a babby leaf that has a tiny root. I put it into a separate little ICU but I'm not super confident that it'll make it.
Lastly, the Begonia 'Texas Shield' rhizome is about to take off. I just stuck the two leaves that snapped off during shipping and weren't in particularly good shape in water and hoped for the best. It's a propagation method I hadn't tried before, and I had nothing to lose with those already damaged leaves. Well, several weeks later, and the leaves have rooted and are making babbies along the petioles (leaf stems).
The funny thing is that I was never going to grow Begonias again because walking away from my last plant collection took a major toll on me. Well, fast forward about twelve years, and here we are.
The only classic old-lady plant that's missing are African Violets, and I have an itch to get at least a mini or semi-mini trailing and a standard miniature or semi-mini.
And thus concludes the dispatch from Bagels' plant-land.
So now, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will not be broadcast into a single American home, making it no different than The CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil.
My golly gee, the Byron Allen show looks as unfunny as a colonoscopy by an old beer can...even the commercials promoting are unfunny- the little person who mimes his kid kicking his ass and the woman who speaks so fast I can't understand what she's even saying...and the incel looking dude who complains about "carrot juice"???? Seriously WTF??!!🤬 this will not replace Stephen...
If less than zero were possible this would demonstrate it...bring back Taylor what's her name, at least she was self aware that her show was unfunny and that was funny!
At 73 and single my considered comment on all this is "What do I know? Nuthin, that's what I know. So don't ask me."

A marriage is not a core institution: it's a relationship....
At a more basic level, it's a contract.
Trump is likely to lose the midterms. But he'll go on a global crime spree.
The conventional wisdom says a weakened president is a contained president. The conventional wisdom is wrong.

He will really need to kiss up to dictators so that he will have a safe place to flee afterwards

You're not wrong here...
but if poorz cannot has cheap smrt teevees spying on them how can big cheap teevees make monies?
uggghh. who the fuck would want clarence thomas to swear them in? does that even count?
Was Roger Taney unavailable?
not since 1864 i'm afraid. i'm sorry you had to find out like this.
And Now...THIS...

"You could have stolen more? Prove it." - GOP/Supreme Court
Man, that guy is delusional - especially if he thinks anyone not braindead would believe his shit for a moment.
Oh, wait - there's all of MAGA....
Get the guilliotine. Call the tumbrels.
We'll need a reinforced tumbrel just to hold Donnybitch Two Scoops....
A dually tumbrel. Jacked up like a MAGA truck. XD XD XD XD
I dunno about tumbrels but Ikea and Home Depot got these nice big carts that
will hold at least 2-3 politicians/tech bros.
Not to mention cool cordless saws.
I hadn't thought of that!
"Instead I am helping others," Trump's fat, short fingers typed.
Very funny.

I mean, my usual reaction when someone excitedly reveals her pregnancy is "Congratulations!" but I guess my etiquette book is outdated and the thing to do today is go on a pissy extended lecture and hold this woman up as everything you think is wrong with society.
My default on that is still 'Congratulations.' As my wife had 3 miscarriages before we had a live one, we were happy and everyone was happy for us.
I guess some women get pregnant easy. My wife wasn't one.
I don't think I phrased that right, but I think you know what I mean.

Let's check the record, shall we?
Who has the highest divorce rate? Evangelicals.
Biggest reason for divorce among evangelicals? Infidelity and growing apart (after being encouraged to marry young).
So clear that log out of your own eye before pointing out the sliver in your neighbor's.
To say nothing of EVILgelical bitches trading in the old used model on a new younger BIMBO.
Callista Gingrich, anyone? LMAO
Love that TV's Frank!

Seriously WTF??!!🤬 this will not replace Stephen...
Watch it get 0 ratings...and I wouldn't be surprised if SEE B.S. then replaces it with informercials...
They're going to have to have some really cheap advertising rates.
If less than zero were possible this would demonstrate it...bring back Taylor what's her name, at least she was self aware that her show was unfunny and that was funny!
