Search Results: i lost her for good

It seems like one of those shows that are dragged out FAR too long. Fairly Oddparents included. As for the more-adult audience, Family Guy and South Park has most certainly lost its charm. Back in the 2000s, cartoons were fun to watch for the entire family. It is funny I recognize adult humor that I missed in cartoons as a kid.

I am reminiscing of the 2000s. I miss that era, especially early-to-mid 2000s SO MUCH! People were well-mannered, more down-to-earth, youth culture was amazing, and this PC garbage that exists today was pretty much nonexistent. Adults were actually more like adults that held things together.

My adulthood has turned out to be such a massive disappointment in many ways. Although, I am still thankful for the last remaining good things.

• No one cares who you are or what you think unless you’re super successful/famous
• Don’t forget the nice guy finishes last. Being nice makes you lose at life/women
• Most men are slaves building the world while receiving minimal pay, minimal recognition for skilled work. Like a builder for example, even saying you’re an engineer wouldn’t impress many especially women.
• Most of the things women prioritise in men don’t even make a good person/man - like how much money he has, how tall/muscly he is, how handsome blah blah. Women are evolved to only care for the best specimen of man on the planet
• I myself am baffled how I haven’t managed to find a really nice pretty girl, because I often wonder - what don’t I have? I got it all
• Why do think it’s mostly men that tragically end themselves - because all the cards/odds are against us, the whole game is rigged and too insanely competitive.
• Not to mention, women are empowered whereas men are just toxic masculinity?
• As men we have to go through things on our own. There’s often just no other choice most of the time. Our frustrations and feelings mean nothing and are mostly disregarded and viewed as pathetic weakness. I’ve heard of women lose interest in a man when he cried or showed emotion

Rant over. What do you think? Fair?

American farmers are pleading for exemptions from President Donald Trump’s tariffs. GOP farm states reps are working to deliver the relief farmers want.

Tariffs will indeed hurt farmers badly. Farm costs will rise. Farm incomes will drop. Under Trump’s tariffs, farmers will pay more for fertilizer. They will pay more for farm equipment. They will pay more for the fuel to ship their products to market. When foreign countries retaliate, raising their own tariff barriers, American farmers will lose export markets. Their domestic sales will come under pressure too, because tariffs will shrink Americans’ disposable incomes: Consumers will have to cut back everywhere, including at the grocery store.

Farmers will share this tariff predicament of higher costs and lower incomes with almost all Americans—except the very wealthiest, who are less exposed to tariffs because they consume less of their incomes and can offset the pain of tariffs with other benefits from Trump, beginning with a dramatic reduction in tax enforcement.

Farmers are different from other Americans, however, in three ways.

First, farmers voted for Trump by huge margins. In America’s 444 most farm-dependent counties, Trump won an average of 77.7 percent of the vote.

Second, farmers have already pocketed windfall profits from Trump’s previous round of tariffs.

Third, farmers can better afford to pay the price of Trump’s tariffs than many other tariff victims.

But if a farm family voted for Trump, believing that his policies were good, it seems strange that they would then demand that they, and only they, should be spared the full consequences of those policies. Tariffs are the meal that rural America ordered for everyone. Now the dish has arrived at the table. If rural America cannot choke down its portion, why must other Americans stomach theirs?
