Yeah she’s legally a manatee. Or maamatee if it identifies as a ma’am. With that level of BMI everything is a death sentence. Of course she doesn’t think it’s her fault that she can be seen from the moon station by a naked eye.
She's fat enough that it may actually be a danger to her.

I think you're wrong about that.
We have a common enemy - our government. Liberals hate it, conservatives hate it.
Patrick saysAmerica is not doomed by diversity though, we just have to stress unity as Americans to overcome the obvious enormous harms of diversity.
It hasn’t been done I think, because it’s too easy to divide. We have very little that unites us right now, it worries me.

No no no.
They want government to do more for the population. They complain that all this money is wasted on war, and they naively think they can get the government to change, if they just get people to vote in a certain way. They are the gullible among us.
They think they can FIX the government, Conservatives realize they can't and would prefer to abolish most of it.
Go take a look a Jimmy Dore for example:
https://www.youtube.com/c/thejimmydoreshow/videos
Now I know many people here don't like him because he's a "liberal" - just remember, liberals aren't your enemies, they are just naive. Most liberals (except the fringe ones) don't give a crap about Drag Queen Story Hour, or the LGBTQ "agenda" - they want student debt relief, and the government to "do more", like handle the homeless crisis and provide "free" health care.
They are just naive. They're gullible - they aren't "stupid", they just don't realize that the "liberal" wing of government doesn't give a fuck about them.

I agree. I think that naivete is a huge problem
My mother-in-law thinks that it's very cynical of me to say that Fauci created the virus in order to sell the "vaccine".
I don't understand how she can ignore the easily available evidence. Fauci did indeed fund the lab that created the virus, and he does indeed push the jab.

She's just unable to understand the nature of true evil. She doesn't know how to think like a sociopath.
If you can get her to play some video games that are competitive - and if she's able to kill some players and NPCs (literal ones) - ask her if she felt bad for any character or person she took out. Of course she won't. That's how a sociopath thinks about people.

Liberals problem is that they grew up in homes where rationality and credentialism ruled.
In their minds, somebody with a degree/position can't be corrupt because they were vetted by their bourgeois surroundings.
Even a Liberal who had the SAT taken for him and went to Harvard on an Alumni admission thinks he is one of the capable, credentialed, virtuous people. He doesn't see his Alumni admission or SAT Fraud as being corruption or nepotism, but things he needed to do get that "Certification" as one of the "Better People". The Credential makes him one of the Most Highly Virtuous.
"I must be a good person because I had a re-usable grocery bag, I have the correct positions other bourgeois admins/execs have, I read the NYT and Economist and watch Late Nite Funny Men, and I have the proper credentials".
Words to the contrary simply don't compute. They have massive Doublethink.
This is why leftists can pivot from "Watch out for the Media and Big Pharma" to "Praise the Media and Big Pharma" in a minute without neck injuries. Best illustrated in one of many NPC memes where they get new instructions from NBC or WaPo or NPR.
Or they can have no problem with 1/6 solitary confinement for misdemeanors, but can excuse massive BLM/Antifa riots and violence; censorship of Alex Jones and Donald Trump and COVID counter-official narrative opinions, but claim to be for Free Speech.
Look at the ACLU, now claiming they won't automatically defend Free Speech cases if the accused are legally armed. They carefully phrased it so they CAN defend BLM/Black Nationalist groups that are (legally) armed.
When we replaced Western Classic Virtues and Christian Virtues with Radical Bourgeoisie Credentialism, John Dewey's mindset, that was the turning point for disaster.

Yep! Because they control them. Before, when they didn't, corporations were controlled by the "Man".
It was wicked evil for Walmart to pull a Rap Album full of cuss words, and whore this and bitch that, talking about gunning down people and slapping women, off the shelf without ID. Total oppression of Artists and Free Speech.
But now that they control Corporations, it's simply MUH PRIVATE COMPANY and Woke Virtue to ban Trump, Alex Jones, etc. ENTIRELY, adult or not adult. Regardless of content.
Hate Speech is Obscenity for the Left, except unlike Obscenity which is only limited to adults, Hate Speech must be restricted for ALL. And Hate Speech is simply Speech leftists (and liberals) hate.

That's interesting. It does seem that mega-corporation management has become quite leftist socially, while of course continuing to exploit the masses the same as ever.
Or maybe they just advertise that they have become leftists with the sodomy flag and BLM logos, while laughing at the leftist plebes who believe it.

Why am I NOT surprised that this is in Montgomery County
Among the material associated with a Maryland public school's five-day social justice summer course is a slide that identifies the phrase "Make America Great Again" as a type of "Covert White Supremacy."
The slogan, often abbreviated "MAGA," has been a staple of Donald Trump's political career.
Judicial Watch obtained the slide and other materials related to Thomas Pyle Middle School's course titled "Reading and Taking Action for Social Justice."
"The enclosed materials were prepared to include in the class; however, many of the materials were not shared with students," according to the cover letter provided along with the course records. It also states that the class "took place July 13 through July 17, 2020 and met for 50 minutes each day. No grades were given and no actual work was due."
The middle school is connected with Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, a school district that awarded more than $454,000 for an "Anti-racist System...

I try not to be an optimist. Optimists tend to be angry most of the time, mostly because their hopes keep getting dashed by reality and the stupidity of other people. Especially these days. It’s bad being an optimist. I’ve been angry for so long. I don’t want to be angry anymore. I want to be at peace and pessimism is good for that. The world is fucked and most people are selfish and stupid. That’s reality. Accepting that reality brings an ability to accurately predict the course of events.
I know that people aren’t going to do their research before making a decision on whether to take an experimental jab. They’re going to take the advice of someone they respect (even if he is a dumb ass or propaganda mill) and do whatever he says.
I know that 90% of the parents on my baseball team aren’t going to help even before I meet them. People are selfish. I’m putting myself out there as a volunteer, training their kids, investing time and money, and they still can’t be bothered to help with field maintenance. I know this. So I’m not surprised. I do it for the kids. This way if a parent does help I am pleasantly surprised and they go on my private list of people who are “alright.”

Agree with this, but I'd add you have to be pessimistic for it to work out in the end. I live by a rule to expect the worst. I have a knack for spotting situations going south and by being pessimistic, I'm able to prevent drama and am prepared for a negative outcome. Over optimism is toxic in my mind as Shaman is eluding to. The idea that things will just go right will fool you.
If you think you're going to win and continue to fail that has consequences mentally. You have to go in trying your best, but understand and accept there's a possibility you'll lose or something negative will happen. Being overly optimistic is not healthy.

Here is a different way of approaching a challenge through a lens that's not pessimistic. It's a challenge, how to confront/deal with the situation, solve the problem, make the best of a bad situation, figure out and navigate through the less bad of bad options. A test of one's intellect, problem solving, or values. Approach it with a positive outlook, you'll win even if you lose.
Being overly pessimistic is not healthy.
Like people of faith, optimistic in the knowledge that our fleeting time here is but a test, can face challenges with an overall optimistic outlook. Such are folks whom Hipsters and Snarksters like the Bay Area is chock-full of, would refer to as Simpletons.

Forgot to share an idiocracy moment from my kid's school: because of "covid" they are not allowed to have their lunch inside, but couple of weeks ago they also were not allowed to be outside because of poor air quality caused by Caldor fire. The solution our brilliant Vice Principal came up with? Kids should have their lunch inside (because covid!), but seat on the floor instead of at the tables (because air quality!). Or was that the other way around....

Each life is different. For mine I HAVE to expect the worst and be prepared. Just dealt with family Sunday with a MIL who is an alcoholic and showed up plastered to my sons birthday get together. If I thought she'd be sober, I would have been blindsided with a drunk that knocked over glasses, drank our booze and ended up staying the night. Then she made the kids cry in the morning.
Stuff like that is volatile. It wears on you when it happens at every event. You have to be prepared for it so you don't overreact. So maybe pessimism wasn't the best word. 3 out of 10 times she's fine, but I'd rather be ready to deal with the 7 or 10 times she's fucked up. I got lucky with the good one (wife) out of 5 total girls in the family. But my wife's family is extremely fucked up as are most as I've noticed getting older.
My MIL couldn't even move out of her house the day of closing last fall. I had to rush in and save the day with the trailer. I knew it would be that way, so I thought negative and I was right and not overwhelmed. Preparing for negative is not negative in and of itself. It's just realizing what might happen.
For things I do personally for myself, I for sure go in thinking and believing the outcome will be good. For others around me I generally think what bad could happen. Honestly, I'm right most of the time. I have a knack for predicting bad outcomes, so I'm prepared for them so it doesn't devolve into a shit storm or physical altercation.
I think only once I missed the signs things were going south. This will get some laughs. An argument over Guns N' Roses being better than Poison. What resulted was the dumbest thing I've maybe witnessed in my life. It included my wife and I getting punched. Brass knuckles and broken beer bottles with people trying to stab others. Was quite the melee. That event changed my outlook moving forward on people. I've stopped more fights about to happen than I can count. We're talking randoms in say Nashville or some other place on vacation.

Because the purpose of public schools is to serve the teachers, not the students, nor the community.

Covid laid this bare even to these who didn't want to see it.

I’m 100% serious. This is the second or third one this school year.

Now the teachers unions have managed to also fuck over working parents. People with jobs are expected to quit them to stay home with the kids and homeschool them. Regardless of their budgets of course. The only thing that matters to the teachers is that they get to stay home and still get paid.
Now the LA Unified School District has authorized free daycare for teachers who are parents, so they have someplace other than home (which is where they will be) to send their rug rats so they won’t have to care for them while “teaching online” everyone else’s kids who don’t get free day care.
In my neighborhood there are several gyms which have opened as daycare/schools able to provide daycare for school aged kids with staff who can help the kids with their online lessons. This costs $155-200/week and goes until 3PM same as a regular school day. Working parents who can’t be home with their kids to help them are expected to shell out $650-800/month per kid to “educate” their kids while public schools we all pay for are shuttered because teachers are scared of Covid. But NOT too scared to send their own kids to day cares as long as the school district pays for that!
Fuck teachers unions. Seriously.

It’s in the article, buried:
“Teachers also will be provided with child care.”
