Once the Abrahamic Religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) became huge. It’s all about “Women are evil sluts who do nothing but sin and tempt the good and pious men”, it’s pretty evident in modern societies that have large populations of people that follow these religions.
I started lifting weights (again) and accurately tracking my progress (I bought a “cheap” workout and weight loss plan, which requires a lot of data so you can see your progress (or regress)).

Data from Brownsville ISD seen by The Observer showed its officers made 3,102 student arrests between May 2021 and Nov. 2023. Nearly 60% of those were on felony charges and 76 of those kids were in elementary school.
What the everliving fuck is wrong with these people?
He’s coming right out and saying it. What more do people need? You’ll be safe if you’re a white, cishet, Christian man. Anyone else who helps this guy into office could be potentially signing their own death warrant and he’s coming right out and admitting it. Promoting it.
He did this before with the “I’m going to kick all illegal immigrants out of this country when I become president” and people with illegal immigrants in their families still voted for him!
I remember a new story shortly after this happened of a woman who voted for him crying because her husband was being kicked out and her words were “I thought he was only going to kick bad illegal immigrants out of the country! My husband isn’t a criminal!”
These idiots are all for this shit until it affects them personally.
It’s been going downhill for a while but I feel it’s gotten exponentially worse.

This isn’t as ridiculous as the headline makes it out to be. You still need to be licensed, which means a college degree. You can’t get through college without reading. They’re trying to get more teachers by reducing restrictions, although what they should be doing is making being a teacher a higher paying, less grueling job.
My mother was a Special Education teacher for 40 years and was at the top of her pay scale at 89k. I work in tech and 5 years out of college I was making 4 grand less than her. 5 years later I’m now applying to remote jobs where they’re offering $60-75/hour or upwards of $150k/year! I worked for Disney+ and was making $110k/year not including benefits and was literally doing nothing half the time, meanwhile she would literally have to bring work home with her multiple times a week. People I graduated high school with were working in her district and were making like $35-45k/year which is fucking ridiculous.
I find it hilarious that they’re like “It’s 14F! Break out the shorts and T-shirts!” Meanwhile anyone anywhere else (except the Arctic regions) is like “This is pretty fucking cold”.
Simply put, a lot of people hate socialism aka “I’m paying so you can get something for free”. I’m all for it.
My 73 year old father supports Trump (not one of the crazy people, just misguided) and hates Biden. He said one of the biggest things that Biden did that pissed him off was student loan forgiveness because my dad said he had to work 3 jobs in the early 70s to put himself through college (which he dropped out of and went into the electrical trade), so everyone else should have to struggle like he did, regardless of the fact that college cost him like $2,000 a semester and it costs like $12-15 grand now, assuming you’re not living on campus.
“My actions in this incident should speak loud and clear that I perceived a hostile threat after the defendant aggressively put his hands on a police officer,”
Jesus fucking christ some of these cops are the biggest over-reactors it’s ridiculous. “He put his hand up so I punched him 13 times, it was clearly his fault he shouldn’t have put his hand up!”
