Mike Pence will release a statement announcing he agrees with President Trump and that he, also, condemns Mike Pence for his actions.20 points

Dearest Bertha, The reports are true and the worst has happened. I should have you hear the truth from mine own lips, rather than the papers of those wicked newsman. Some of the lads and lasses of our group have killed Mother God and decorated her face with the powder that glistens, and her body with the illuminating mechanical apparatuses of Christmas, so that we can see her and offer tributes without the aid of torches. She was secured inside the bag of sleeping, as Clem couldn’t keep his hands and his pecker from worshipping her holy temple in an inappropriate way. The group had become particular about the words coming out of her mouth, and the resulting action has led to my feared prognosis being proven correct. The winds were rife with rumors, and we quickly broke camp and began our march. After a short pause of half a day, I felt myself completely vigorous and rested, so that I, after some hours of rest, should again be able to put behind me five or six miles without any aggravation, for which I initially thanked the Universal High Soul and Mother God. After the march, our group numbers four men and three women. Unfortunately, even with our march, we were unable to have a good opportunity to put things in order, and the local officers of the law quickly ensnared us in their cuffs of hands. I have asked those officers of the law to keep you instructed as to my condition. I am now fully focused on repairing my clothing and occupying myself with the protection of my posterior, as some of the residents of my prison have taken a liking to me. Their tongues ask me about Mother God, but their eyes have a more personal interest. I have several times done services for others to earn the friendship of those who share my enslaved condition in the hopes that they may protect me, but it is to no avail, and I fear that the main assault is but a few hours away. My one good fortune is that my sense of smell is no longer being assaulted by the emanations arising from Mother God slowly joining her ancestors. My love always, Jebediah18 points

Everyone likes to bitch about the CIA but what are we supposed to do when a bunch of farmers in Central America want to run their own country? Just let them? Do you know how much money Dole would lose? You can either have democratically elected governments run by the people of those countries or cheap bananas. I believe it is my right as an American to buy 2 pounds of bananas for 75 cents and then not eat any of them and throw them away. God bless the CIA.11 points

This is Prince. He just turned 15 in January. He was diagnosed with heart failure last year, and kidney disease yesterday. He's currently in the hospital. He's truly my best friend and the sweetest pup ever. I can't imagine my life without him. Sorry, I needed to vent because I'm pretty broken right now.10 points

Went to the local Dollar General to pick up some AA batteries. It recently re-opened following an arson attempt. I asked the checkout lady if they had done anything to the dumbass teenager that set the fire. She gave me an icy stare and said her son was innocent until proven guilty. https://www.hillsborofreepress.com/news/front-page/arson-shuts-down-hillsboro-dollar-general-for-short-time9 points

perhaps the craziest part of this simulation for me is the 'IT'S JUST THE FLU' crowd mocking people's predictions. remember when 'BODIES IN TREES OMGZZZ!' was the go-to retort when people predicted 300K dead...welp, 578K deaths later and y'all are still fucking yapping. crazy simulation.9 points

No hero chatter from me for being a barely decent person. She's doing the bare minimum, same as Romney. They still have abhorrent views and are still fully regarded troglodytes when it comes to LGBT rights, taxes, police reform, government programs, etc. Not sucking off Trump's Big Lie and being polite to the President as he's coming down the aisle to address Congress is literally the barest minimum. Sadly, both of those things will mean they will lose their jobs. Cheney will be replaced in House leadership and lose her primary - Cheney, Bush, Romney, etc. going to bat for her in a primary will just make it worse for her. Romney may be a Mormon hero, but some Mike Lee wannabe is waiting in the wings to primary him. Both of them don't even have the backbone to buck their party's core ideology (i.e., "obstructing everything Biden is trying to do") - walk softly and carry a big noisy stick that you never use.9 points

They're aware of it, they just think that leftists and Republicans are the same #resist it's not a questionof Republican/Democrat, it's a question of empire yeah the CIA does a lot more than that they also create international drug trade and fund extrajudicial murder squads internationally and organize and train terrorists and depose democratically elected leaders and spy on peaceful domestic political movements and murder civil rights activists. Oh and assassinations9 points

I've been thinking about this for a while so I now present my longest post ever: smokebomb's Austin Homeless Solution First - I think it is important to divide the homeless up into 4 distinct groups: People who are homeless due to circumstance and are trying to get out of it. This is the population that most people are the most sympathetic. People who are homeless due to mental illness. I would argue that this segment has the a lot of sympathy from the population as well. People who are drug addicts. This population has some sympathy but is lower down the chain. People who do not want to conform to societal norms or who just don't give a fuck. This is the segment no one cares for and who give homelessness a bad name. Rightfully so. This is important because we need to create a solution that focuses not on group 4 but groups 1-3. Fuck Group 4. We can help them but we don't have to cater to their lazy asses. My solution (and it has been mentioned by many others): Use the Home Depot at I-35 & St John's the city purchased over a decade ago. We don't even need the building - just the parking lot. With the Home Depot lot: Allow anyone to camp out in the parking lot - draw out 12x12 boxes and let people put up their tents. Even offer free tents to those who need them. Provide port-a-potties. Have them emptied daily. Maybe provide some outdoor showers. Provide police patrols and implement quiet hours. Arrest anyone dealing drugs as well as buying in the parking lot. Kick out anyone who is involved in a fight or who is disturbing the peace. Make it safe but don't focus on making it a place for PIs & pot busts. Provide dumpsters & create a trustee system to pay people to keep the area cleaned. Have doctors come weekly & provide checkups. Have social workers onsite daily to help with those that need it. Eventually use the Austin City Library and provide training The above ideas could be implemented in a week (except maybe the showers). Even if it took a few weeks/months, it would be a start. Once certain people have shown they can live in the lot and contribute (maybe through the trustee system?), put them on the list for the hotels / city-assisted living. Give those that are actively trying to better situation a much needed boost. With the social workers, maybe they can identify those that really need mental help and convince/guide them to the correct facilities. With drug addicts, maybe the social workers can help them achieve sobriety. Even it is just one, it is a win. For others, they will take advantage of the system. Some of these people will not follow the rules. That is fine - deal with them accordingly. Kick them out if they cause problems but let them stay in the parking lot if they don't. Some of these folks will not want to change their situation but if we offer them a place where they can live safely and not disturb other residents, everyone in Austin benefits. However, this alone will not solve the homeless issue because a one-size-fits all solution will not work. Some people will use the above assistance while others won't. It simply provides a first step but a first step that the city council so far as failed to even attempt. Now my Adler/City Council Rant: Telling people to just camp where they want to and ignoring the situation was not a solution. It was criminal for the mayor and the city council to think so and then not do anything in the last two years to address the issue. The fact that Adler tried to make it a Democrats vs Republican right before the election was almost as disgusting as the city's inaction. However, it was even sadder that voters fell for it. The best part of last weekend's election wasn't just Yes on Prob B, it was No on a strong mayor. This showed Adler that the city is tired of his schtick. Hopefully people come out in the primary and vote his grifting ass out of office or he will continue to push his bullshit, real-estate agenda.8 points

Full disclosure: 99.9% of my post are tongue-in-cheek. Regarding this thread, I find it interesting. I'm vaxxed. I try to convince everyone I know to get vaxxed. I've rewarded my employees who get vaxxed with a paid day off, plus a bonus. I've masked everywhere I've gone, including my office, as soon as the CDC recommended it. I believe these are the correct things to mitigate the spread and get us to this point... However... Now that we are here, we are straining at gnats. Seeing Biden and a Congress socially distanced but still wearing masks is theater and I'm going to mock it. Talking about vaccinating 10 year olds seems like overkill but they are your kids, you do what is best for your family, but why make others feel as if they don't have the same considerations? I'll try to post less gifs. I find them funny, @mdmost thinks they are too much. He's a good poster, so I'll take his advice. I'd gladly buy most of you a beer and we'd have a great time. I'll do better in trying to make Surly less surly with less gifs. PEACE OUT AND FUCK AGGY7 points

Quite a few on this site seem to be unaware that there is a huge amount of criticism coming from the left at the mainstream of the Dem party for their use of identity politics as a salve to cover all evils. Torturing brown people and overthrowing their democratically elected governments? Look how intersectional these CIA agents are! How dare you prioritize breaking up the big banks over ending racism! Or sexism! So on here, to criticize woke-ism is to be a racist asshole who wants to polish Ted Cruz's knob. Both parties are full of shit about it; the Dems use it to paper over financial and military wrongdoing and the Repubs wield it as a grievance for their butthurt white boys to perpetually be aggrieved over. Criticizing both parties for politicizing what should be simply basic human decency is valid.7 points
