Dairy Queen has been selling food since 1958. They are not “an ice cream store” any more than McDonalds is

middle managers suck.

FTFY

SOME of our hearts are in the right place

Okay, you seem to believe that every American is somehow perfectly reflected by its government, which is reductive but I get it, you’re upset.

But if you live on planet Earth, whether or not it suits you, it absolutely IS your problem. My government is an extractive, imperialist bully. My government’s military is single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and biggest single institutional emitter of greenhouse gases. My government has no qualms about making it your problem.

Pretending it’s not your problem is like pretending the neighbor’s house on fire isn’t your problem. You can get away with that for a while, but eventually you’ll burn too.

Nobody is being quiet about it, though. People are on the ground doing real things to try to change this. Like, ALL kinds of people. It takes time, and saying things like “your country is whack” isn’t helpful in and of itself. Saying “looking at this thing happening in your whack country right now” (like this post) is helpful. I didn’t ask anybody to solve our problems.

Me too!

We are. It’s going to take some time, and it will probably get a lot worse before it gets better, but we are.

Yeah, we’re working on it. Things are just getting heated up now. It takes a lot of critical mass to do what needs to be done. That takes time, unfortunately.

Yeah, again we know our country sucks. What else do you have? Because if you seriously think that “It’s not anyone else’s problem” then, have I got news for you

Thanks, we know that. Got anything helpful to share with the class?

I usually try to figure out what the weather and temperature are going to be for the duration of time I’m going to be out, plus a little more just in case, and then dress accordingly. So it’s not always about the weather RIGHT NOW, per se

$0. I would not have any it if I didn’t pirate it. I was never going to spend any money.

This is genuinely not true. Same goes for 2016. Non-voting democrats tend to skew conservative. You’re just trying to start a fight with the left. That’s not helpful to our current situation; it literally only helps the fascists.

You have big “tipping the waitress a penny for bad service” energy

Up here in Minnesota it’s roughly March-June, but when I lived in Oklahoma for a little while it seemed like it was Mid Summer

As someone who lives in the Midwest, let me tell you, there absolutely IS a tornado season. We’re actually in the tail end of it right now.

This is so true and so depressing

I’m kind of really tired of liberal news outlets doing this. Let me make it clear for those of you in the back of the room: THEY DON’T CARE IF YOU CATCH THEM LYING.

They don’t care about being hypocrites. Calling them out on it and shaming will not work on the shameless.

No, but this manosphere shit isn’t new. It’s been around since at least the “Men Going Their Own Way” movement in the late 90s and early 2000s, which me too and the Right’s culture wars are a reaction to. So yeah, watch, like, ANY movie starring Michael Douglas, or basically any movie that involves a male/female relationship dynamic and you’ll probably see a LOT of proto-manosphere stuff. (Pretty Woman?)

Like basically every movie prior to the 2010s, yeah
