c/politicalmemes in a nutshell

People act shocked that I’ve managed to make it to 30 in decent enough health while only eating the same 2 or 3 frozen meals for dinner over and over.

My manager at my last job (grocery store in Missouri) loved telling about the time Chuck Berry’s sister came in and said this. Apparently she was a massive bitch who thought everyone should worship the ground she walked on cause of her brother who was a creep with how he handled his restaurant down the street. Like she was demanding stuff be free for her.

Just don’t be the asshole going to the store first thing in the morning for a $5 item and paying for it with that $100 bill. I still have nightmares about them.

I’m saying someone who isn’t openly a conservative running on the Democratic ticket has a better chance in a red state, but Dems don’t care what happens in red states. It’s why their presidential candidates never come here or campaign on things that help us.

Having an easier time making connections to get better opportunities. I’ve seen so many people bragging about how easy it was for them to get a well paying job so those who want better pay, but don’t get a better paying job are just lazy and want handouts.

I am lazy and want handouts, but I’d wager most others aren’t like me.

You’re using a purple state when I stated I’m talking about a red state…

I don’t care what polls say when I am literally seeing it happen in my state. In 2022 the Democratic choice for governor (or maybe some other government position) outwardly ran as “I was conservative, but the party went too far so now I’m running as a Democrat”. It was in all of his campaign ads. He lost BADLY.

I have lived in a red state my whole life. Every time I see a Dem run as a “centrist/moderate” or right of center, they get destroyed cause nobody who would vote for them wants that. Right leaning people will just take a full on Republican over Republican-light and libs want someone with an actual backbone that stands for their wants instead of somebody that’s already showing compromise on the campaign trail.

Watching the massive amount of shows I need to catch up on

I’m putting my playlist on shuffle and if that means we’re talking while listening to the Buck Bumble theme, then so be it. I ain’t compromising on music.

I had a panic attack at work on Friday, but other than that things have been fine.

I’m watching Big City Greens as I type this. That show is so damn good. Surprised even 4 seasons in it still keeps the quality up.

I was this person once. I think it was around 2015 I got stuck at a left turn light that puts you on the exit ramp to the interstate. I had only had my license for a year (if even that) and couldn’t tell where the sensor was. I’d keep getting blinking yellow lights, but traffic was a lot coming the other way so I could never go. I kept feeling as I scooted up I was getting too close to the cars crossing the intersection. I swear I was there for like 10 minutes or something.

I always put on one of Vinny Vinesauce’s vods from his Fullsauce channel when I go to sleep. He just relaxes me so much I’m normally out within less than 5 minutes whereas in complete silence I could end up taking half an hour or multiple hours to fall asleep.

I guess this place is different cause they have no standards for who they hire. If you can reliably show up and move your limbs easily, then that’s good enough. I have seen all kinds of examples of the people you say they wouldn’t want in just the 9 months I’ve been there.

I get along and enjoy the people that don’t make my job harder. Which is why I’ve been a lot happier at work lately cause I started working alone.

I work in a slaughterhouse in the middle of nowhere of a deep red state. I’m surrounded by people I can’t stand and have to listen to hateful rhetoric in the locker room every day. I don’t care cause I get paid to keep coming in and spend most of my time listening to music/podcasts.

Honestly I just hate personality based questions. I’m here to do a job and get paid. I’m not here to make friends and honestly don’t care enough to try working my way up some corporate ladder that requires connections and kissing ass. If the job just has me pulling around slabs of meat or cutting them up, why are you asking about my personal life? Ask to give examples of me doing similar work.

I’ve never really gotten it either. Might be because I’ve never really liked kids even when I was one. Loud human noises tend to drive me up a damn wall and if there’s one thing kids and alcoholics have in common it’s their love for being as loud as possible. Also every time I hear people talk about their kids, there’s always so much negativity even when they’re trying to make it sound positive. What’s there to gain from having them other than the supposed animalistic instinct to reproduce parents love to bring up?
