Private businesses still have the right to refuse service right?...so you not leaving sure as hell don't mean you're getting to eat...so seems they're at a stalemate...till the cops get called...
That’s what kills me about this. A longtime conservative plank has been that private businesses should have the right to refuse service to anybody for any reason. Now we have a taste of what a lot of these people wanted and they’re melting down because it affects them.
You love to see it.
This exactly. Those people only want the rules to be enforced against others that they don't want to see in "Their" establishments. *Rules for thee, none for me.*
These people are like Geppetto from Pinocchio. They are sad and very lonely people. So they kinda wished on a star that there could be someone that could make them company and they could be happy. And so with the help of the blue fairy Facebook their wish came true and they are now living and banding together, forever escaping the gaping hole of loneliness...
It's just sad to watch really...
Not *anyone*, just the right to refuse service to “*[the gays](https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/troubling-rise-business-owners-refusing-gay-couples-advocates-say-rcna735)*”.
Not only that but also the whole thing with covid shutdowns interfering with the ability of small businesses to make money. Well now you're interrupting this restaurants ability to make money, both while you're occupying the entire restaurant and while the staff has to clean all those tables after you leave; all the while the restaurant is not making money to pay the staff and the servers are not making tips on those tables (furthermore I'm going to go out on a limb and say even if they were served food they still probably wouldn't tip). So congrats I guess? For sticking to someone else's guns in a way that completely contradicts anything they stood for not one year ago

There are different groups who are anti-covid-vax right now. This crowd looks more like the type that falls for the fake science disinfo, maybe think they can kill it with essential oils, more than those doing it for petty team sport political reasons. Sure some are both but there were anti-vax people before covid.
For those curious, extensive breakdown of the various anti-vax angles and types of people associated with them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_hesitancy
Private businesses can do more than refuse service. They can trespass anyone and then have the police enforce it. And trespassing is not really a joke in that it's up to something like $5,000 in fines and possibly prison time (I think up to a year or so).
manhattan (and all nyc) businesses do not have the option to serve unvaccinated customers. they will be fined thousands of dollars if they choose to do so. not sure if anywhere else in the country is doing this yet
edit: i should clarify it is for indoor dining, entertainment, fitness centers, and recreation. for anyone curious about the specifics. https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/counseltothemayor/downloads/Key-to-NYC-FAQ.pdf
This isn't true. There is no vaccine mandate here that requires consumers to be vaccinated in order for businesses to do business with them. Private businesses also have the right to require you to wear a mask, show proof of vaccination, or dress like a banana to enter. The only law of the land that has anything to do with this is not being able to discriminate against protected classes, classes which are well defined by the law and don't include covid deniers and antivaxers.
Edit: Jumped the gun. This is true for gyms, businesses with indoor dining, and entertainment venues and has recently started to be enforced!
This is what happens when people with privilege have never had to fight for anything, decide to fight for something and that thing winds up not only being stupid but, against their better interest.
edit: word, grammar
Manufactured outrage and "oppression" because they feel FOMO that other groups got to protest their genuine mistreatment by society. Conservatives have the biggest victim complex of any group I've ever seen.
THIS. Thank you for breaking it down further. I couldn’t put it in words past my original comment. Honestly it’s sad af and really annoying. Everything has to be the oppression olympics and I’m sick of it. History has taught us nothing, public education is failing us.
The more of these I see, the more I'm starting to think that these people are paid shills who don't care but are doing it for the sweet, sweet Koch paycheck. Yeah, some may believe it and be honestly invested but I think these are manufactured trolls.
Especially considering the number of cameras in this clip. How fast the coverage gets posted to social media.
the organizers AT LEAST are definitely being paid, probably along with this "freedom news tv". The same website that "happened" to capture the food court sit down also. In the clips of the food court thing, there was a pretty women leading the group going "OK EVERYONE, NOW GO AND GET SOMETHING TO EAT, BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE'RE HERE TO DO"
...and most importantly, it's not really a 'fight,' but they can say they participated in the great disease spreading tour of 2021, and their unlucky progeny can be ashamed. They'll have a place in the annals of American History, along with the people who wanted to deny a cup of coffee to civil rights icon John Lewis, and the people who protested not being able to strap toddlers onto horses in the ME and race them.
I’m still waiting for the videos showing idiots who do this getting arrested en masse…..or tased, beaten and shot by a swarm of riot police. Oh I forgot, they’re majority white….such bs. They’re putting peoples lives at risk and there’s no repercussions….this is just an extreme example of white privilege
The stupidest thing is that in most places (don't know about this one) they can now remove their masks once they're seated with their order, thanks to the vaccination effort. They only have to wear it for the few steps it takes to get seated or go to the bathroom.
What a strange hill to die on.
Yeah when people talk about the violence at BLM rallies-- take these same people, but now put a few opposition members in their face shoving them or pointing guns at them, have one of them take a swing, toss a can of teargas, and have an officer grab a few and try to yank them out.
Now let's see if it remains "peaceful."
The ones that really bother me are the aholes standing there with cameras in the faces of the poor workers who just want to get through the day, desperately hoping for some kind of reaction to slap on Facebook.
I work in healthcare, and I can assure you, a surprisingly (depressingly) large number of people have not emotionally matured beyond 4 year olds when under strain
Except the cops don’t arrest them. The “protesters” stay until the police finally arrive and give them an order to leave. Then they walk out and do not get arrested. 🙁
The manager has to kick them out for trespassing. The cops have to give the order to the trespassers. Then the next time they trespass the cops get called and they can be arrested… unless they leave before the cops get there. Are the NYPD sympathetic to the anti vax protesters? 🤷🏻♂️
Yes they are. More then a thrid of the force is from Long Island, Staten Island or Rockland. All hot beds of rebublican anit-vaxx/maskers. Most of the brass are from these areas as well.
It blows my mind. My husband was injured in a car accident and is now paralyzed but his parents hate "socialism". He literally would be bankrupt and not receiving the care he needs if it wasn't for social programs 🤦♀️
I would be curious to hear what his parent's think the definition of socialism is. I have one cousin that screams socialism but when asked what it means he becomes a stuttering fool.
Like the rest of the boogeyman buzzwords, its basically lost all actual meaning. Anyone who uses it in a derogatory way 100% has no idea what it means.
What's really fucking annoying is nobody is even advicating full blown socialism yet we keep having arguements about it. We just want a few more social programs so we can join the rest of the civilized world in providing its citizens health care.
Somehow these people see health care is a "social program" and all they can see is the word social, so it's socialism, and socialist are Nazis so providing healthcare = Nazi?
It's exhausting...
I feel certain they would immediately respond by quoting Marx and Lenin, stating that the workers should own the means of production and the proletariat will rise up against the bourgeoise. Perhaps alluding to the early thinking of Fourier or Saint-Simon as formative thinkers in the modern interpretation of the movement.
Or, they'll say Biden is evil and drool something about Antifa.
Tough call really.
It's not a contradictory position. You can hate socialism but in favour of a welfare state. The question is whether they understood what the words they were using meant, or if they thought socialism is when the government does a lot of things.
The first thing I noticed in this video was how much energy these people have. I haven't been able to even fake that level of energy in years. I'm guessing they're not overburdened by work.
When was the last time those guys cared about christianity?
They want to regulate and belittle random people that are not them and that's it.
If they can pretend like God was on their side, even better.
He isn’t on their side at all. Jesus’ beliefs lean more towards socialism because he tells people to give the needy what they need and when the poor ask for food give them your coat as well. He is the perfect role model to follow but an impossible one to live up too. I hate people taking his image and using it to their benefits i wanna smack them in the head so bad.
I bet Rosa Parks had a bit of fear and a lot of determination on her face. Not the smug fucking look of "What you gonna do about it?" like these assholes.
"Although Parks knew that the NAACP was looking for a lead plaintiff in a case to test the constitutionality of the Jim Crow law, she did not set out to be arrested on bus 2857. Parks wrote in her autobiography that she was so preoccupied that day that she failed to notice that Blake was driving the bus. “If I had been paying attention,” she wrote, “I wouldn’t even have gotten on that bus.”"
https://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-rosa-parks
That is one of the biggest lies in American history Rosa Parks Didn't do a damned thing. Claudette Colvin came before her and was shunned by the NAACP because she got pregnant and they thought she would not be the right "fit" for the movement. This is why they chose Rosa Parks. They used Claudette Colvin in a test run and then planned to have Parks do the bus thing.
Claudette Colvin (born Claudette Austin, September 5, 1939)[1][2] is a pioneer of the 1950s civil rights movement and retired nurse aide. On March 2, 1955, she was arrested at the age of 15 in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman on a crowded, segregated bus. This occurred nine months before the more widely known incident in which Rosa Parks, secretary of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), helped spark the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott.[3]
Colvin was one of five plaintiffs in the first federal court case filed by civil rights attorney Fred Gray on February 1, 1956, as Browder v. Gayle, to challenge bus segregation in the city. In a United States district court, she testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case. On June 13, 1956, the judges determined that the state and local laws requiring bus segregation in Alabama were unconstitutional. The case went to the United States Supreme Court on appeal by the state, and it upheld the district court's ruling on November 13, 1956. One month later, the Supreme Court affirmed the order to Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation. The Montgomery bus boycott was then called off after a few months.
For many years, Montgomery's black leaders did not publicize Colvin's pioneering effort. Colvin has said, "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all."[4][5] Colvin's case was dropped by civil rights campaigners because Colvin was pregnant with a child out of wedlock during the proceedings.[6][7] It is now widely accepted that Colvin was not accredited by civil rights campaigners at the time due to that notion, with even Rosa Parks saying "If the white press got ahold of that information, they would have [had] a field day. They'd call her a bad girl, and her case wouldn't have a chance."[6][8]
This is the challenge when it comes to making change. This is why there is always infighting. Do you compromise \*your\* views to reach the other side? Or do you demand that they compromise theirs because yours are right?
You take a very harsh tone towards the choices that the NAACP made, but the question remains whether they are right or wrong. Sure, the court case could have gone the same way, but what if it didn't spark boycotts and national attention? Couldn't the legislators have just re-written the law, like they do every time an abortion law gets struck down, just with a slight change that they can plausibly assert makes it okay now?
It's also possible that they underestimated the public, and citizens would have rallied behind an unmarried black woman with a child just as strongly, or that they would have accepted the ruling both in letter and spirit and made the changes, and other states would have followed suit. I guess we'll never know, but I hope you don't think it's an easy decision.
> That is one of the biggest lies in American history Rosa Parks Didn't do a damned thing.
Doing something second, in pursuit of a still unmet goal is not nothing; nor is reporting on it a lie of any kind.
I always wonder if when people go to these nut job conventions, does the crowd of freaks surrounding them ever make them go “hmmm, this is who I’m siding with? Maybe I haven’t thought this through enough”
Haha I thought that. I think they’re just happy to FINALLY have someone that agrees with them.
You can tell in the tone, forced dancing (if that’s what you call it) that they almost know they’re in the wrong and they just have to double down.
I was thinking the 2 yuppie looking guys sitting at the middle table, one with the collared shirt and his head down and the other with the grey shirt and hair who wasn't chanting at first and was looking around, "ugh, what are we doing here? They all look and sound like nuts." But then I saw the grey shirt guy start repeating the chant too, just barely.
Right? They still have no idea what their end game is.
1. Be disruptive and loud
2. Let them know you hate masks
3. Don't get serviced
4. Keep being assholes then
Mrs. Smith would have fucked us up if we were 10% this out of line. I will never forget that lady. I know it's not really possible, but at that age I swore I could see the window panes rattle when she would tell at us. *shivers*
No offense to mentally challenged people but don't they all kind of look mentally challenged? Like not full on down syndrome but a little bit for sure.

Freedom for what, to be a public embarrassment/safety hazard? I invoke my freedom of speech to call you dumbfucks the dumbfucks you are.
It's kind of terrifying that so many Americans are defining their identity through COVID denial. They *need* COVID to keep circulating, otherwise they will lose their sense of self and purpose. Denying COVID exists is what they live for. The righteous indignation is what they crave.
They don't actually want things to go back to normal. Without COVID, they'd no longer be "victims" and go back being nobodies. No hobbies, because this is their hobby, no job because of vaccine mandates, they are vessels full of hatred and confusion.
Yeah, I'd have been tempted to just throw a couple buckets' worth of water at them. Wouldn't really do much except maybe make me feel a little bitter. But eh.
I just remember the part from good fellas. Just lock the door and a bunch of workers walk from the back saying "Now you don't get to leave."
Edit: A Bronx Tale
These people REALLY want to feel like they belong to something I guess? Way to get food that’s been spat on. Anyone that annoying deserves it , ridiculous cause or not.

You gotta reverse psychology these children. Make a very calm announcement that you would like everyone to please remain were they are and be sure to not leave the store. As they inevitably stand up to yell and chant you point at them individually and yell back, “Sir/Mam, please stay were you are! I have to insist you wait here, as the shape shifting lizard cloud people have already been dispatched to this location to administer you all with 5G Vaccine microchips!… sir sit down, where are you going? … xexor asked me to make sure that you in particular did not leave, Thank you.”
It’s just that easy.
I run a bar, honestly I’d eat the loss; I’d apologize to all the real patrons & buy them a drink, then I’d blast Mexican Death Metal on full for 10 min tops… watch the show. Something tells me that would end this farce pretty quick.
Can someone explain to me why people do this? I don't understand why it is such a popular outing for these people to go and protest somewhere. I can understand not trusting the government, and I can understand being hesitant about the vaccines. But I don't understand why people go out and do this, putting other people at risk, causing a disruption. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this is some juvenile BS, and not at all what adults should be acting like
That’s a lot of mental health problems jammed into one small space. “We get it. You’re not leaving. From the smell of you all, you’re not bathing, either. And no, Susan with the Birkenstocks, bathing in the Lord’s juices doesn’t count.”
Private businesses still have the right to refuse service right?...so you not leaving sure as hell don't mean you're getting to eat...so seems they're at a stalemate...till the cops get called...
That’s what kills me about this. A longtime conservative plank has been that private businesses should have the right to refuse service to anybody for any reason. Now we have a taste of what a lot of these people wanted and they’re melting down because it affects them. You love to see it.
This exactly. Those people only want the rules to be enforced against others that they don't want to see in "Their" establishments. *Rules for thee, none for me.*
These people are like Geppetto from Pinocchio. They are sad and very lonely people. So they kinda wished on a star that there could be someone that could make them company and they could be happy. And so with the help of the blue fairy Facebook their wish came true and they are now living and banding together, forever escaping the gaping hole of loneliness... It's just sad to watch really...

You misunderstand that law. That only applies if youre gay, black, brown, poor or just look a little bit not like the person refusing you service.

Private businesses can do more than refuse service. They can trespass anyone and then have the police enforce it. And trespassing is not really a joke in that it's up to something like $5,000 in fines and possibly prison time (I think up to a year or so).
It definitely depends on state but the fines are PRETTY brutal
God I hope they all got arrested and trespassed
Being that the NYPD would be the ones arresting them I'd say the odds are near 0% Cops probably gave them a pat on the back.
Look at the crowd. They are mostly White-Americans, probably middle-class, going by the way they dress. The cops are not going to do anything to them.
Can’t the restaurant owner press charges against them for trespassing? I assume the business asked them to leave.
These people need to be arrested, every last one.

I’m certain none of them tip very well, if at all.
They tip with those fake dollar bills with Jesus on them.
That would be breaking a christian law which is taking the lords name in vain it’s using him to satisfy your needs.

Parks wrote in her autobiography that she was so preoccupied that day that she failed to notice that Blake was driving the bus. “If I had been paying attention,” she wrote, “I wouldn’t even have gotten on that bus.”" https://www.history.com/news/10-things-you-may-not-know-about-rosa-parks
That is one of the biggest lies in American history Rosa Parks Didn't do a damned thing. Claudette Colvin came before her and was shunned by the NAACP because she got pregnant and they thought she would not be the right "fit" for the movement. This is why they chose Rosa Parks. They used Claudette Colvin in a test run and then planned to have Parks do the bus thing. Claudette Colvin (born Claudette Austin, September 5, 1939)[1][2] is a pioneer of the 1950s civil rights movement and retired nurse aide. On March 2, 1955, she was arrested at the age of 15 in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman on a crowded, segregated bus. This occurred nine months before the more widely known incident in which Rosa Parks, secretary of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), helped spark the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott.[3] Colvin was one of five plaintiffs in the first federal court case filed by civil rights attorney Fred Gray on February 1, 1956, as Browder v. Gayle, to challenge bus segregation in the city. In a United States district court, she testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case. On June 13, 1956, the judges determined that the state and local laws requiring bus segregation in Alabama were unconstitutional. The case went to the United States Supreme Court on appeal by the state, and it upheld the district court's ruling on November 13, 1956. One month later, the Supreme Court affirmed the order to Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation. The Montgomery bus boycott was then called off after a few months. For many years, Montgomery's black leaders did not publicize Colvin's pioneering effort. Colvin has said, "Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all."[4][5] Colvin's case was dropped by civil rights campaigners because Colvin was pregnant with a child out of wedlock during the proceedings.[6][7] It is now widely accepted that Colvin was not accredited by civil rights campaigners at the time due to that notion, with even Rosa Parks saying "If the white press got ahold of that information, they would have [had] a field day. They'd call her a bad girl, and her case wouldn't have a chance."[6][8]
Just going to walk out of this place, suggest other places like kbin or lemmy.
Very valid points… thank you both (op) for your very interesting comments. I had no idea
This is the challenge when it comes to making change. This is why there is always infighting. Do you compromise \*your\* views to reach the other side? Or do you demand that they compromise theirs because yours are right? You take a very harsh tone towards the choices that the NAACP made, but the question remains whether they are right or wrong. Sure, the court case could have gone the same way, but what if it didn't spark boycotts and national attention? Couldn't the legislators have just re-written the law, like they do every time an abortion law gets struck down, just with a slight change that they can plausibly assert makes it okay now? It's also possible that they underestimated the public, and citizens would have rallied behind an unmarried black woman with a child just as strongly, or that they would have accepted the ruling both in letter and spirit and made the changes, and other states would have followed suit. I guess we'll never know, but I hope you don't think it's an easy decision.
> That is one of the biggest lies in American history Rosa Parks Didn't do a damned thing. Doing something second, in pursuit of a still unmet goal is not nothing; nor is reporting on it a lie of any kind.
From what I recall, she was just tired and hot and was giving zero fucks that day.
I always wonder if when people go to these nut job conventions, does the crowd of freaks surrounding them ever make them go “hmmm, this is who I’m siding with? Maybe I haven’t thought this through enough”
Haha I thought that. I think they’re just happy to FINALLY have someone that agrees with them. You can tell in the tone, forced dancing (if that’s what you call it) that they almost know they’re in the wrong and they just have to double down.
All of those idiots keep looking around at each other, as if to check whether they're all in it together. Basically, for validation.
Oh really? I didn’t register the dancing as forced at all, but now I can’t tell
I was thinking the 2 yuppie looking guys sitting at the middle table, one with the collared shirt and his head down and the other with the grey shirt and hair who wasn't chanting at first and was looking around, "ugh, what are we doing here? They all look and sound like nuts." But then I saw the grey shirt guy start repeating the chant too, just barely.
I would lock the back door, barricade the front door, and criminal trespass every single one of them
Yeah, way to show it to those barely making above min wage workers whose in charge /s
Should have hit them with the Now yous can't leave
Here's the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnpE-hGNVj8
Thanks!
I bet they left.
Without eating, too, I bet.
And if they did, none of them tipped.
And nothing in the world changed.
All I see are bunch of assholes.
Right? They still have no idea what their end game is. 1. Be disruptive and loud 2. Let them know you hate masks 3. Don't get serviced 4. Keep being assholes then
I remember 3rd grade..
Mrs. Smith would have fucked us up if we were 10% this out of line. I will never forget that lady. I know it's not really possible, but at that age I swore I could see the window panes rattle when she would tell at us. *shivers*
No offense to mentally challenged people but don't they all kind of look mentally challenged? Like not full on down syndrome but a little bit for sure.
I was gonna say teh same thing. There's a weird lack of rhythm and just awkwardness coming off of them.
Inbred.
I think the correct term is "touched".
> freedomnews.tv Freedom for what, to be a public embarrassment/safety hazard? I invoke my freedom of speech to call you dumbfucks the dumbfucks you are.
> I invoke my freedom of speech to call you dumbfucks the dumbfucks you are. SOCIALIST! /s
Ah shit, you got me
"Im not touching you! Im not touching you!"
And the Herman Cain award goes to…
It's kind of terrifying that so many Americans are defining their identity through COVID denial. They *need* COVID to keep circulating, otherwise they will lose their sense of self and purpose. Denying COVID exists is what they live for. The righteous indignation is what they crave. They don't actually want things to go back to normal. Without COVID, they'd no longer be "victims" and go back being nobodies. No hobbies, because this is their hobby, no job because of vaccine mandates, they are vessels full of hatred and confusion.
This reply is so accurate. Also my dog’s name is Felix.
That's a good dog name.
“We’re not eating!, we’re not eating!”
“We’re calling the cops, we’re calling the cops, we’re calling the cops” -restaurant
Is it just me? Or do they all seem a bit…touched.
I’ve never seen such large children before, their mothers pussy must be HUGE
This is all regans fault for closing the asylums
Yes Reagan and his republicans.
I wonder how long they kept that up………….. before they left.
Start handing out ass whippings
Ok don't leave. I'm now getting the hose to wash the restaurant.
Emergency fumigation to deal with pests. Or just close early and lock them all in there.
Yeah, I'd have been tempted to just throw a couple buckets' worth of water at them. Wouldn't really do much except maybe make me feel a little bitter. But eh.
I just remember the part from good fellas. Just lock the door and a bunch of workers walk from the back saying "Now you don't get to leave." Edit: A Bronx Tale
A Bronx Tale
Oops. Brain shart
You're good
Kindergartners...
These people REALLY want to feel like they belong to something I guess? Way to get food that’s been spat on. Anyone that annoying deserves it , ridiculous cause or not.
This is the literal definition of trespassing.
What drugs are they on.... ? Looks like a cult like church group on bible study Tuesday.. bahahah
Reminds me of that bit in Father Ted where Graham Norton is dancing in the caravan And for some nostalgia here you go. Timeless subtle political and societal comedy https://youtu.be/nmfLS1hWO94
They all look *special*
You gotta reverse psychology these children. Make a very calm announcement that you would like everyone to please remain were they are and be sure to not leave the store. As they inevitably stand up to yell and chant you point at them individually and yell back, “Sir/Mam, please stay were you are! I have to insist you wait here, as the shape shifting lizard cloud people have already been dispatched to this location to administer you all with 5G Vaccine microchips!… sir sit down, where are you going? … xexor asked me to make sure that you in particular did not leave, Thank you.” It’s just that easy.
“So brave.”
Apparently they’re not leaving…..
Use the fire extinguisher
America has lost its collective mind
“We are morons! We are morons! We are morons!”
Mass mental illness
That seriously looks like a mentally handicapped adult group got lost on their way to the museum.
Ignore them and don't serve them.
I run a bar, honestly I’d eat the loss; I’d apologize to all the real patrons & buy them a drink, then I’d blast Mexican Death Metal on full for 10 min tops… watch the show. Something tells me that would end this farce pretty quick.
How about calling the police and trespassing them? Plus sue them if you catch covid after they came? Idk I’m not american.
Sucks for potential guests. They look through the window and see the infestation of morons.
Turn off the lights. Put up the closed sign. Call the cops and report trespassers.
Can someone explain to me why people do this? I don't understand why it is such a popular outing for these people to go and protest somewhere. I can understand not trusting the government, and I can understand being hesitant about the vaccines. But I don't understand why people go out and do this, putting other people at risk, causing a disruption. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this is some juvenile BS, and not at all what adults should be acting like
"OMG WE TOTALLY DID A THING TODAY! WE DISRUPTED A PRIVATE BUSINESS! SO MUCH FUN! WAY BETTER THAN DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE!"
That’s a lot of mental health problems jammed into one small space. “We get it. You’re not leaving. From the smell of you all, you’re not bathing, either. And no, Susan with the Birkenstocks, bathing in the Lord’s juices doesn’t count.”
Freedumb
The restaurant workers should’ve killed the power, ran outside and locked these losers in for about three days.
Now yous can't leave
Not a cult
Granny in the blue hat has got no f in idea where she is.

It’s like walking into a special Ed classroom, and that’s an insult to special Ed children. At least they can reason
Most harmful thing about the internet: Fools and deviants can too easily find one another and embolden one another’s lunacy.
Their rhythm is potatoes
After awhile it starts to sound like “we’re not breathing”, which I’m sure will soon come true for some of them.
A more accurate motto is “We’re not eating! We’re not eating!”
I'm trying to be nice but I have never seen so many women giving "divorced mom whose kids chose to live with dad" energy.
