its probably the pilgrims' fault but holy hell america has to kick this thing where we insist that life must be hard. i feel like whether you believe in God or not, the point of human existence is not just endless toil.
one of my closest friends and i are from immigrant families and something i tell him all the time is our parents came to this country and often did what would be regarded as "menial" work so that we could be educated and have a better life.
my mom used to tell me that one of her proudest moments was when i surpassed what she had earned and i did it by not having to do back-breaking labor.
now multiply that by the people who have much deeper roots than i.
we're not doing anything wrong by not going into the mines. our forefathers and mothers did the work so maybe - MAYBE - we can make life easier for everyone.
this idea that we cant have nice now because it sucked for someone before is... awful.

the thing with the potato head (other than it being idiotic) is that this is their beloved free market working. the market has said the existing potato head is at a saturation point and hasbro wants to move units, so theyre attempting to widen their customer base.
the invisible hand of the free market is what made potato head gender neutral, is what im saying.
they think all of a sudden the ceo and cfo at hasbro are up there getting super-woke. its like the credit cards that were like "hey, if we appeal to blacks, latinos, and lgbtq+ families we can... make more money"
we have been training elite squads of ninjas to sneak into the houses of men and steal their penises. they just need a "go" signal. please, i counsel patience.
"I told Joe to come over and pet the dog, but that was three hours ago, I know he'll eventually come and pet the pooch but he's very busy SIGNING DOCUMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE" ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
like with political "news" it also shows you that 24 hour news is not news. its about 15 seconds of news for every 3 hrs of breathless uninformed speculation and argument
In ten years you’re still going to have liberals believing something is going to happen to Trump on the legal front “soon.”
Every time I post on this people are like “so you think he didn’t do anything wrong?” And it’s like... no, he’s obviously guilty as sin but we have a limited amount of time to devote to things and wishcasting about some unlikely fantasy scenario detracts from real things.
Marco and the others gave away billions in tax cuts to the mega rich but refuse to help out ordinary people with the equivalent of pennies.
A lot of people will still buy this Republican fiction that parents and the disabled aren’t doing “work,” but I feel like millions after having gone through the mortgage crisis and now COVID are understanding how full of it Team Marco is.
