It is an utter tragedy and travesty what happened yesterday. RIP Richard Simmons.

Richard Simmons, Dr Ruth, and Shelly Duvall make this death trifecta. That other goon didn't qualify to be associated with the wholesomeness and entertainment those three good people brought to the world.

Shelly Duvall was a few days ago, I would put the third as Shannen Doherty

Wait she died??? What was she like only 55?

Thereabouts but battling cancer for the past decade

Who the hell is Dr Ruth? This is like the third time today I’ve heard that name and I’ve literally never even heard of this person before.

Ah you missed out on some good TV. She was a sex doctor that spoke in a plain and positive way about intercourse, sexuality, etc. Yeah, we all tittered and giggled but I don't know anyone who didn't learn at least something from her show.

What a fucking way for me to find out! 😂

If i'm not on several already, then I'm not doing things right as it is.

Eat the rich!

I know for a fact I’m already on them. I found out through channels that the police would visit my property on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to see where I was. I don’t think that’s been the case now for years, but it was when I was more actively involved in local activist leftist groups.

It's a little more obvious when you don't live near anyone, and they have to come down dirty country roads to park across from your property on a DWP service road, and pull out binoculars.

I used to grab my own, and wave at them energetically like I was excited to see them if I had to go somewhere.

A lot of people from my area who went out to escorts clinic-goers got the same treatment.

Nobody ever got stopped, but the moment you were seen doing nefarious things like protecting women seeking Healthcare from harassment or worse, you could expect a police tail within 5 minutes of getting behind the wheel, and cops slowly driving by your house at all hours.

That sounds so boring for those cops. Good.

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The longer they spend staring at me, the less time they have to harass minorities and beat their wives.

I support the protection of our NHS and fair electoral reforms, I'm already on a list.

There’s already a room reserved for us in gitmo

As someone that rents in a rich person neighborhood let me tell you that rich people rent their "on property" rentals at a steep discount to cops. Usually cops take over all the rentals in a neighborhood, and they terrorize anyone that doesn't let them and their landlords act like despots in their neighborhood.

As it happens two FBI agents, four prison guards, four sheriff deputies, and five PD live within four blocks of my house. And there is also the one ex-cop who, IMHO, murdered someone in the town just north of here and moved into this neighborhood to protect himself from 21st century vigilante justice.

Let me know if you want any addresses to send chocolates. I have a lot of them.

There's nothing careful about it. There are posts and comments glowing like they're radioactive.
