  • Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

    There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

    Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

    Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.


  • I used to see a lot of “I paid off my student loans in 18 months, here’s how. I saved all my money and got a director job from my FIL / Mom gave me a house / my spouse paid for it. Just work hard and you can too!” I think I saw one legitimate one of “worked hard as a nurse and paid it off in 7 years” out of 10.

    Turns two very good breeds into a mystery box. The breeders claim that they are hypoallergenic, which is not guaranteed, and they claim that they don’t need to be groomed, but they usually do. Most reputable breeders don’t breed them so they are usually in worse health than pure bred dogs from a reputable breeder for more money.

    Basically, they are a scam. The puppies sure are cute though.





  • I actually believe that this is how it should be. If it was a tyrannical government (but it’s not) citizens could vote in a president that was falsely accused or imprisoned (he is 100% guilty of that and much more).

    I do want to clarify that I also believe Trump and the GOP will either destroy or renew (through third party actions) the USA as we know it and if they didn’t constantly break the law this could be a good precedent.

    But the people voted and he got both popular and electoral votes. The people want the grifter. If it turns out low elo meddled with the results, well, see that third party actions comment.





  • We were talking about winning the lotto at work once and I said with a million dollars I would probably quit if I could earn 5% interest on it to get 50k a year. My boss was like, that’s not enough you have to think about daycare and mortgage and car payments and everything. I then reminded him that I was currently making 30k a year. He stopped talking very quickly lol.
