I'd heard of this story and been horrified by it, but the fact that her mother is who found her is new information for me. Just absolutely awful, this poor girl. Heads should roll but this is America so I'm sure at most they'll settle out of court.

Those racists sure are mad at Jason Hickel.

We have a complex and frankly fragile system of family members who care for one another's kids and maintain specific work schedules so that one grownup is always available in my family, that we built from scratch (not really from a cultural background where this is the norm, it's out of necessity) and it's frankly the only way my family has been able to support any children.

I'm genuinely not sure how a person pays for rent/mortgage, utilities, gas and food while also paying the kinds of prices that childcare costs in even low COL areas of the US.

This part tipped me off

The rise in interest rates could complicate the Biden administration’s efforts to get the student loan crisis under control and relieve borrowers of the pain of interest accrual, experts say.

He's the one DOING this! What do you mean his "efforts to get the student loan crisis under control" he's actively making it worse. Big "Biden isn't doing enough to restrain Netanyahu" energy. Every bad thing this motherfucker does is framed as him not doing the opposite, good thing, enough.

Reddit discussion is all about how Russian air defense sucks, based Ukrainian ingenuity, so brave etc etc.

I'm scratching my head thinking, this is bad for exactly the reason that soldiers pretending to be red cross to hide in plain sight and ambush their enemies is bad right?

This encourages the destruction of civilian aircraft.

I'm a Russian lib

Hmm

I'm a... lib

notion that he's a nazi is a Baptists and bootleggers collaboration between both western and Russian pro-war forces.

Okay so I've seen the cockroach video. Can you explain why I shouldn't believe he means what he said in that video?

You could compare it to how Ukrainian libs allied with Ukrainian nationalists during the maidan.

Well if I do that I just have to

at this news. Allying yourself politically to fascists makes you a fascist.

I hope you cry about China so much tonight that your eyes bleed you stupid racist dog.

Russia and Israel are both more militarily powerful than the countries they're at war with.

We used to allow downvoting, we just got rid of it to stop trolls from making multiple accounts to downvote every comment from people they disliked (specifically trans users were getting their comments brigaded like this) and it turned out to be a great choice because it encouraged discussion if you disagreed with someone.

Also we're definitely not "Russian or CCP farmed trolls" why would they have paid people to talk amongst themselves for three years? I mean I could really use the supplemental income so I wish, been putting off car repairs for months due to finances.
