Here in Colorado we have some idiots in at least one county who wants to secede from the state and become part of Wyoming. Personally, I would love that because those people have no idea what they’re asking for. Wyoming is one of the strictest states when it comes to cannabis, which would become illegal again. You can’t have it both ways where you keep your blue state protections and have your red state affiliation.

They wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. Just send the world’s largest military around their border. That’s where it backfires for red states

Well their policies are anti-life so maybe that

What’s even better is him thinking he’s not going to be in prison long because Trump is going to win the next election and pardon him. My brother, there’s a greater chance of Trump becoming your cell mate.

Those are the same people who called Jesus weak so I think it’s a bit late for the pope to weigh in

Wow, that’s one I haven’t thought about in years

When I was younger and made next to nothing, I ended up in the emergency room with a bill I couldn’t possibly afford to pay. I called up the billing dept and told them about my financial situation and they told me to contact Health Quest so I qualify for a discount. It was relatively easy and not only did it erase my previous debt but it gave me a 0% liability for any hospital fees for the next 6mos. The funny thing was that the hospital ended up selling my my debt to collections by that point so every time they called id fax them a copy of a letter and id never hear from them again and after a few times of them selling this debt to other collectors it just got dropped. This was in upstate NY in like 2010 so YMMV.

I was an early Reddit adopter and can remember how lonely it felt back then. It took years but it got better in ways and worse in others. I believe in Lemmy because it isn’t susceptible to the pressures of a company trying to be profitable. Sure it’ll have its own challenges but I’ve personally had enough of idiot CEOs running social websites into the ground.
