A conservative douche bag would want me and my friends dead or as good as dead. I cannot really care about what they perceive, let alone for some absolutely fictional situation as you've just described.







I'm fighting to survive, but I sure don't see Patton sending people my way to drop me a couple grand. I do believe there is something to the idea of 'killing with kindness', however, there are people far more deserving of having willing donors sent their way than a racist bigot. That people in here are more willing to condemn those worried more for the suffering of non-shitty people is deeply distressing.

These dudes are so full of s*** how many of them are actually fighting to survive on a day-to-day basis

I can't think of a single piece of entertainment media that's not conservative

Being entertained is an individualist activity, saying what makes me happy in this moment, rather than thinking collectively about what problems I could be helping to solve instead

Being entertained means deciding your own pleasure is worth more than aiding actual people suffering around the world

Wrong.

Destiny II is a communist manifesto. You need other people to achieve you goals, and the chance at great rewards is identical regardless of your overall performance compared to the rest of your team.

You know, I’m pretty sure this is true, and that dan Akroyd and them have actually said that over regulation and was one of the themes in the movie.

Notice that the main human bad guy that sets in motion the worst part of the ghosts is from the EPA. It’s not really a hidden theme at all and doesn’t really warrant a video, imo.

In 1984, Reagan was super popular. Everyone was a free market conservative.

Those glory days of a really strong economy under Reagan are actually probably why the GOP is at all competitive. Reagan, of course, would probably be a blue dog Democrat by today’s standards.

It is in  a way a direct result of his racism/bigotry that he is getting treatment. Instead of just simply getting treatment because health care is a right.

Honestly mate I don’t wanna make a value judgment on ya. I get what youre saying. Im thankful everyday for our system.

America needs to take care of its people regardless of who they are. I doubt anyone is arguing against it.

Racists are frequently rewarded and given power over minorities. Too often we’re lectured about being too mean or confrontational while racists get all the understanding in the world.

It’s really frustrating to see people huff their own farts over donating to some arsehole who would vote against the very thing that would help them.

Yall clutch your pearls at us but it’s not like we have any power here. Dudes still 30 grand richer and I’m still a distinguished black fellow ‍♂️

he won a lifetime supply from a grocery store, so i assume it's more like, he just can get as much as he wants forever or until they go out of business

that's usually how those work, and like after your first two months of binging on free peanut butter you barely get any ever again

those usually aren't transferable though, you can void the deal by making explicit that you're getting it for other people...i think in this case they probably won't do anything, especially since he's an austic kid trying to help out

The incessant negativity about Bernie in this place continues to be bewildering to me. As if he was Trump 2.0 or something. I'm not American, but I really liked him back in 2016, and he probably would've beaten Trump...
If anything, he's Ron Paul 2.0, which in some ways is worse.
Quote
First of all he is not a democrat. He is an opportunist who is in it for the attention more so than most other politician. He also doesn't believe that white people can be racist

So is Bernie the Rubio of 2020, where for a singular message robot with potential to go far he bungles it

required AOC posts in thread about anything:

Yesss.

US needs a socialdemocrat considering AOC isn't running.
Quote
You have to be at least 35 to run for president, so in 2024/2028 [AOC will] most likely run. Until then she'll be building up a legacy and clout in congress.

Unless the laws get amended by then...
Quote
AOC is not going to endorse Bernie with his history on addressing racial issues. If Bernie owns up to his failings on race and has a clear message on how people of color are still worse off than their white counterparts at every income level, then I can see AOC supporting him.

Smart money is on her not supporting anyone in the primaries because she holds more leverage by not being a wedge in the party.

thanks for self-doxxing

but i didn't actually check the details of the story, the kid did have like a crate full of peanut butter though in all the pictures, i assume it was primarily as a visual like when lottery's do gigantic checks or whatever

yes, coupons are common, but i have seen at stores where you have an account they are now putting it on the account so it just auto-coupons the items for free, no idea about this store

Guess he actually did get a shitload of peanut butter:
Quote
Fifteen-year-old Eric "Bean" McKay loves peanut butter so much, he eats PB&J on an English muffin for all three meals every single day. So when Lidl peanut butter went on sale for 78 cents, his mom stocked up with 72 jars.

"Like many kids with autism, he's sensitive to textures and self-regulates his food," Bean's mom, Tracy, wrote on Twitter. The Virginia teen was thrilled by the amount of peanut butter the family had and accepted the challenge of finishing 72 jars.

Bean labeled each jar with a number. It took him nearly a year to get through all of them, but he finally got to jar number 72 in October. The teen then tweeted to the grocery store chain about his peanut butter feat.

https://twitter.com/BeanPhilosopher/status/1052011757307396096

Bean explained that he finished all of the jars his mom bought, adding: "My mom says it's time for you to have another peanut butter sale."

The tweet got Lidl's attention, and they told Bean if he could get 72,000 retweets, representing the 72 jars of peanut butter, the company would give him a lifetime supply. In the meantime, Lidl sent 72 more jars to tide him over.

https://twitter.com/LidlUS/status/1052675840511799296

Bean got to work on his new goal of reaching 72,000 retweets. After about three months, Bean not only hit the goal, he exceeded it — he currently has 76,000 retweets on his initial tweet to Lidl.

"Congrats Bean! We're over the moon that you reached your goal," Lidl tweeted to the teen. "The Lidl elves have just received a fresh shipment with your name on it! Could you stop by our warehouse tomorrow?"

Bean went to the Lidl warehouse in Fredericksburg, Virginia to claim his prize. The first batch he received is about 5 years' worth of peanut butter, WTOP reports. Even Bean, who loves peanut butter and eats it for every meal, knows that's an insane amount of the sweet spread. So he decided to give away some of his supply.
Quote
. As a result, any federal employee who is not being paid because of the government shutdown can pick up three free jars of peanut butter at the Lidl store in Dumfries, Virginia.

Guess he actually did get a shitload of peanut butter:
Quote
Fifteen-year-old Eric "Bean" McKay loves peanut butter so much, he eats PB&J on an English muffin for all three meals every single day. So when Lidl peanut butter went on sale for 78 cents, his mom stocked up with 72 jars.

"Like many kids with autism, he's sensitive to textures and self-regulates his food," Bean's mom, Tracy, wrote on Twitter. The Virginia teen was thrilled by the amount of peanut butter the family had and accepted the challenge of finishing 72 jars.

Bean labeled each jar with a number. It took him nearly a year to get through all of them, but he finally got to jar number 72 in October. The teen then tweeted to the grocery store chain about his peanut butter feat.

Bean explained that he finished all of the jars his mom bought, adding: "My mom says it's time for you to have another peanut butter sale."

The tweet got Lidl's attention, and they told Bean if he could get 72,000 retweets, representing the 72 jars of peanut butter, the company would give him a lifetime supply. In the meantime, Lidl sent 72 more jars to tide him over.

Bean got to work on his new goal of reaching 72,000 retweets. After about three months, Bean not only hit the goal, he exceeded it — he currently has 76,000 retweets on his initial tweet to Lidl.

"Congrats Bean! We're over the moon that you reached your goal," Lidl tweeted to the teen. "The Lidl elves have just received a fresh shipment with your name on it! Could you stop by our warehouse tomorrow?"

Bean went to the Lidl warehouse in Fredericksburg, Virginia to claim his prize. The first batch he received is about 5 years' worth of peanut butter, WTOP reports. Even Bean, who loves peanut butter and eats it for every meal, knows that's an insane amount of the sweet spread. So he decided to give away some of his supply.
Quote
. As a result, any federal employee who is not being paid because of the government shutdown can pick up three free jars of peanut butter at the Lidl store in Dumfries, Virginia.

If the company doesn't mind him giving it to federal employees for free (since they gave it to him for free): Good on him for looking out for others. But he's probably violating their agreement.</nitpicking>

it sounds like the company actually did the putting up of the three free jars on their own, based on his idea, "taking it out of his supply" when it's really just cheap free PR to bring them into the store

This is all from just the same page as that gif :lol

That would mean supporting a candidate who's also progressive with race and issues around sexism. Bernie's not a progressive.

The incessant negativity about Bernie in this place continues to be bewildering to me. As if he was Trump 2.0 or something. I'm not American, but I really liked him back in 2016, and he probably would've beaten Trump...
If anything, he's Ron Paul 2.0, which in some ways is worse.
Quote
First of all he is not a democrat. He is an opportunist who is in it for the attention more so than most other politician. He also doesn't believe that white people can be racist
Quote
So is Bernie the Rubio of 2020, where for a singular message robot with potential to go far he bungles it

required AOC posts in thread about anything:
Quote
Yesss.

US needs a socialdemocrat considering AOC isn't running.
Quote
You have to be at least 35 to run for president, so in 2024/2028 [AOC will] most likely run. Until then she'll be building up a legacy and clout in congress.

Unless the laws get amended by then...
Quote
AOC is not going to endorse Bernie with his history on addressing racial issues. If Bernie owns up to his failings on race and has a clear message on how people of color are still worse off than their white counterparts at every income level, then I can see AOC supporting him.

Smart money is on her not supporting anyone in the primaries because she holds more leverage by not being a wedge in the party.


This is what happens when you ban, stifle, drive away, all the people smart and patient enough to explain high school civics.
sigh

that's not the best NBA tickets giveaway though, just the best store giveaway

the best NBA giveaway was when the Clippers gave away tickets to "underprivileged youth" with a racist looking ad in the paper :lol
