Pandemanium

If the media can report on Trump's incoherent rantings and make that sound like anything more than hot garbage, then they can absolutely do the same for protesters with varying causes, who are nowhere near as incoherent.

Well, you're reading it wrong. It's latin, like magna cum laude. It basically means "with."

Maybe that's the point. Citizens aren't going to deport themselves, so it's just a really random extortion racket. Or maybe it's not random, but so far it's unclear whether all the people receiving those letters have anything in common.

Still? Fucking really? Supporting Palestine is now fucking thought crime, and you're still saying genocide Joe not genocide Donny? Gtfo.

If you're a professional cook, it's literally a health code violation to have painted or fake nails. Long fingernails harbor bacteria. But yeah, spend enough time in the danger pit playing with fire and knives and you'll end up with some extra confidence.

Why would insurance even think of covering something like that? As if rape is just another cost of doing business... and not just any business, specifically God's business.

It's the way people keep bringing it up. Like my mom, who I'm pretty sure doesn't even know anyone who is autistic. But she continually wonders why there are "so many of them now," as if it's a problem. She doesn't consistently bring up any other societal issues such as, why are there so many traffic accidents or increases in cancer diagnoses (although she does bring up increased crime even though it hasn't actually increased). I just can't fathom why she worries so much about autism when her life isn't affected by it whatsoever.

I guess you missed the post where everyone was complaining the protests are only filled with centrist libs? How many actual tankies exist in the US, do you think? Maybe all of them live in your city.

I'm sorry but after the details OP shared, the chance of this happening are close to zero.

"...whenever I try to say something that I think will make him proud, I always leave disappointed telling myself "never try again".

I know exactly how that feels, and OP has likely been trying for more than 20 years. Plugging emotional quarters into a slot machine that never pays out. Talking to a brick wall feels better than trying to connect with a parent like this. At some point you just have to accept you didn't get what you needed from them and you won't, ever. It's not a matter of you trying hard enough. The parent just isn't capable of that emotional connection.

And to OP, I haven't figured out how to not let it affect me either. You could look into trying to reparent yourself, though that only goes so far. I think looking for healthy male role models in spaces like this or IRL is also a good step. If you haven't read the book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" I recommend it.

Wait are you saying you think Quebec is a country or that you don't know where Canada is? I guess the username is appropriate either way.

We should protest in every capitol except DC. He'll be deprived of an audience, which he hates. And when we show up in 49 different places it makes it harder for counter-protesters to have any effect.
