    Why did my autocorrect change toenails to tonsils? 😩 Another GREAT yuk ruined by modern technology!

    Unless... Would you be interested in selling your tonsils also, after having them graded @Gloves?

    I can start working on my @Gloves fullset, one body piece at a time! 🤣

    I think I have the capability to safely remove a kidney, just let me know when you're ready for that step of graded Gloves 🤣

    Donald Trump told "Proud Boys" to stand by and later asked them to patrol the polls; essentially, voter intimidation, which is illegal.

    If there's anyone here who still denies that Trump is a fascist racist and a supporter of white supremacists, I'd love to hear your argument. 

    I didn't watch it until this morning.  I swear we have to be getting trolled at this point.  There is no way the moderates still vote for him now right?

    I want this to be a joke but I can't be sure anymore...

    I'm waiting for the day when we basically have a floor for people to go trade daily like the stock market.  I have honestly debated grading some of my modern favorites just to display but I feel so slimy doing that.

    I honestly feel bad for the people who resort to scalping.  They are probably making something like $30-40 grand a year and that extra $50-100 goes a long way for them.  A lot of us don't have the luxury to go wait in line at launch for something or check a store daily.

    If I can't get something I want at launch, I'll usually try to wait for it to come back around.  If not I just live without it, most recent example being the RE3 Collector's Edition.

    I aim to please.

     

    Anyone else watching the RNC? Jesus, I mean- after 1 night, ive already heard how California is all used heroin needles and human feces and Trump is the “defender of western civilization” 🤣🤣

     

    Didnt even watch the DNC but read about the roll call and saw it compared to the RNCs sweaty parade of white men who were all trying to please daddy Trump lol

     

    Any republicans want to say what they enjoyed about the 1st night? What policies you are excited about? I mean Biden only had a plan to stop the corona  virus, he definitely didnt have “celebrities” that are famous for pointIng guns at protesters. 
     

    Not trolling, looking for real discussion. 

    I couldn't bring myself to watch it for more than 5 minutes.  I honestly don't know who to vote for in this upcoming election.  I feel like my vote is wasted on the independents, but this two party system has offered mostly garbage.  I know I for sure can't vote for Uncle Donald again, but Joe definitely hasn't won me over yet either.

    Are the cities considered more liberal?

    Cleveland and Columbus, plus Akron and Canton (fairly large cities) are definitely more liberal than conservative.  It's weird though, where I live a few suburbs north of Akron is pretty mixed, but the conservatives aren't your normal Trump people (no maga hats/signs but will most likely vote for him for financial reasons)

    It would be paid for by taxes, which would average out to less than people currently pay for health insurance premiums. But most people don't understand they're being raked over the coals by private insurance companies, while still being at risk of going bankrupt if something bad happens to them.

    My job pays 100% of my premium and I'm still in favor of m4a because cancer or even a car wreck could be enough to wipe me out.

    I was lucky enough to need a minor couple of heart surgeries in my early twenties.  If I didn't become a pharmacist my parents would still be in debt because of that for sure.

    Mmmm. That's not true. There are a dozen studies that show it saves money. 

    And to your point if people had preventitive care they wouldn't be showing up in the emergency last minute all fugged up.

    I am saying I don't think it will save money here.  Source, dealing with fat unhealthy people every 5 minutes in the emergency room.

     

    Preventative care should be made available to all though, we really need a complete overhaul of the entire insurance system.

    How did it work out in 2016? They failed in 2016, that is my point. They are making the same mistakes by ignoring their base as they did in 2016.

    My endgame is to try and get a government that will create programs like Medicare for All because that will lower the burden on the lower and middle classes. With that burden eased, the economy as a whole will be more sustainable and less susceptible to the boom and bust cycle we are in. 

    These programs are supported by a majority of Americans. Three quarters of Democrats support Medicare for all. It is the politicians/corporatist that are standing in the way of giving people what they want. 

    Democrats need to learn how to differentiate between the people giving them lip service and those trying to help them and Republicans need to stop pissing in the wind. 

    Medicare for all is a ludicrous idea in this country because of how many people we have, but more importantly how unhealthy people are.  Even if we strip other massively bloated areas of the budget (of which we have tons, like military/defense and politicians pay) we still couldn't come up with that money.  Ideally it would be great if we could make it work, but I don't see that happening here in our lifetime.

    The problem is that when that inevitably happens again it will still be way too early.

    Maybe if people weren't fucking pigs in general we might be in better shape?   It's pretty sad when you have to remind grown adults to wash their hands with soap and warm water.

    Or that keeping you from baseball games and making you wear a mask isn't infringing on your rights or freedom.

    It was shooting up here in Ohio but appears to be trending downward for the last couple weeks.

    I can't speak for the rest of the state but we are holding steady in Summit and Cuyahoga, not decreasing.  They aren't enforcing it enough, especially at bars and gyms and places like that, it's where a ton of our cases come from.  I really wish they would give an incentive to those who want to be smart and let the rest do what they want.  It wouldn't take long for everyone still in denial to change their mind.
