I’d settle for “needed healthcare and was denied coverage”.

In Germany even! I’d expect that in the US, shocking for Germany!

No worries! This is what mods do! :)

My wife LOVES Gwenpool, and especially when it it involves Jeff the Landshark.

Hogg is a single issue politician, for him it’s all about guns and ONLY about guns, for understandable reasons.

I get it given his experience, but politics is bigger than that, and if you want to primary people, you can’t limit yourself that way if you want to win a general election.

Good luck!

You may not be able to help the situation, but your #1 priority is to protect yourself.

Think of it like this, there are a wide variety of things going on right now that are 110% outside our control. How do you best insulate yourself from the worst of it? How can you make it so it impacts you less?

You don’t have to actually solve the problem, all you have to do is make sure you come out the other side with as little emotional/physical/psychological damage as possible.

Maybe that means getting help from other people, which is what you’re doing here. Maybe it means reaching out to your in person support structure. Maybe it means admitting to someone else you need help, which is the hardest damn thing to do.

I don’t have all the answers, all I can say is you need to look out for yourself, and things that make that harder to do (like weed) aren’t your friends.

Sooo… when I took a motorcycle training class, they taught us a life skill that keeps you alive while biking, but at the same time is a valuable life skill outside biking:

SIPDE

1. Survey your environment.
2. Identify potential problems.
3. Predict what will happen.
4. Decide what you’re going to do.
5. Execute your plan.

For example:

I was riding my bike to work, the rising sun was at my back, and I see a car in front of me with her left turn blinker on.

1. Oh, crap, there’s a car.
2. No way she sees me with the sun behind me.
3. She’s going to pull out in front of me.
4. I better put my hands on the brakes now.
5. She pulled out in front of me, I hit the brakes which is why I can tell you this story now.

Now, you might not ever be on a motorcycle, so this is an extreme example, but weed interferes with the process that can help keep you safe anywhere and everywhere.

There are many problems and threats in life, intentionally ganking your perception of them may make you feel better, but in the end is not helpful with dealing with them.

I was going to say… “Different from an actual ICE agent how?”

“is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party”

Yeah, imma call bullshit on that statement. I don’t agree with Hogg although I totally get where he is coming from. But this is just a way to disenfranchise someone they aren’t comfortable with.

Customize and save with Liberty Bibberty.

I’ve never been able to get to the end of their gamification to actually check out, I’m not seeing that as a bad thing.
