I was talking to @PegMeMommy about Valentine's Day. I was telling him about how me and my siblings got our mom flowers and stuff for Valentine's Day. During the conversation he said he had never heard of kids getting their mom something for Valentine's Day, and he doesn't know anyone who does this. For me, this is the opposite: Where I'm from, everyone gets their mother something. Now both of us are wondering which is normal.

Decided to make a poll!

Do you buy your mother something Valentine's Day?

but on the other hand the person who made the reddit post is called lana and lana is a hot name too

what is the correct take here

@HailVictory1776 would have loved this one these morons literally gave the pigs tacit permission to ransack the car then screamed about knowing their rights

I'm sorry, what the frick is "Dr." Phil there for? Is he an ICE agent now? Is Phildo the new Mike Lindell?

I won't link it, but there's a video of "Dr." Phil on his social media page basically interrogating a detained immigrant. I wouldn't be too surprised if this turns into a recurring segment as a propaganda piece à la Live PD.

Ugh I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility at all. He would selectively choose the craziest and worst people caught to highlight and make it like it's a representation of all the detainees. His daytime audience of idiots would eat it up

How stupid is it that conservatives doubled down on calling Kamala the Border Czar so hard they invented the position in the next administration so that way their criticism of her being in the aforementioned fictitious position would sound legitimate. She got tasked with brokering a deal with Latin American countries and businesses and successfully reduced emigration from those countries by around 20-30%. But no, it's easier to pretend like she was given the task of overseeing the border directly, which she wasn't. Lol

B-word did nothing STFU neighbor

So why are anti-Nazi posts taken down here now?

I saw the post - it really was pretty far into advocating violence overtly.

I get why it was taken down.

I must have missed those parts, thanks for the explanation.

Am I not punk anymore? Anyone else feeling the same now?

I'm in the US and I've considered myself punk since high school so ~10 years. I still go to shows often, participate in mutual aid, volunteer. I'm in LA and even the last couple weeks I've been sharing resources, volunteering, and donating what I can due to the fires. I come from a minority

---

• immigrant background, I am not rich or even middle class by any means (single mom) and I have a child with disabilities.

With the new presidency and all these executive orders being signed, I know now is the time to get out there and advocate and protest more than ever. However, I actually have felt the opposite which makes me really sad to say. I'm trying my best to keep up but just end up upset and logging off my social media and news articles. In a way I feel like I can't make much of a difference, I feel like every identity of mine or things that matter to me and my family are being targeted. The day of the inauguration for the first time in 10 years, I thought maybe I should take out all my piercings and cover my tattoos and buy some more normal clothes to blend in as best as I can. I actually felt like "Is this what is needed to survive the next 4 years?" Is this normal or has anyone else felt like this? Does this mean I am not punk anymore?

You have someone relying on you and it's not everyone's responsibility to be fighting every single fight. You have every right to keep yourself and your loved ones safe and anyway punks look after each other. You looking after your youngling is a perfectly punk thing to do.

Stay safe

>youngling

You're still punk. You EXIST. You are having a strong reaction to bad people and their bad acts. Pace yourself... Given yourself breaks. If we cannot individually effectively, healthily exist, there cannot be resistance. Focus on your community close around you, starting with you, family, friends, coworkers. We cannot take on an entire government structure or administration alone. We have to be stalwart, but be Gentle with yourself. Resist on the ground, where we are. You're doing better than you think. It's not the look or outward loud defiance all times.... just carry the sentiments in your heart and actions and let them guide you. Some of us like the loud, fraught fight. Some of us have a more quiet, sustaining power. Do what is you, but don't you quit. Don't you give up. We will make better days ahead. It's worth fighting for in the very way we live our daily lives.

punk is when, you exist

they have this exact post like every time something happens, and it gets tons of upmarseys idk why

this is adorable

Republicans will never be punk.

Yeah, punks aren't usually those with all of the power in society and who oppress the most vulnerable.

Thinking you're punk just because people find you vile is some real soft brained shit

It's like when we found out eric harris was actually a popular kid and a bully himself. You're not oppressed or outcast by society, fighting back. You're actually the one with power. You're just a ladygarden.

Yeah the peepeeheads that would go to punk shows in the 90's were usually yuppie Republicans that wanted to fight "non conformists". They didn't care about the music or the scene they just wanted to fight. They saw a room full of aberration and wanted to impose order. A lot of the ones I knew of personally, went on to become cops.

Cops can't be punk either.

No such thing as a republican punk. Just little b-word butt posers

Why did I even bother? This subreddit says the exact same things alllll the time. It's so boring! ...and new reddit algo pushes the sub pretty hard.

you won't have any problems if you can't remember them. my name is my advice to you all

I saw this:

• https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/snow_bunny

2. (Canada, US, slang) A young, attractive, female skier; a sexually active young woman attracted to the promiscuous après-ski way of life.

naturally, I looked it up immediately:

• https://www.google.com/search?q=the+promiscuous+apr%C3%A8s-ski+way+of+life

VICE confirmed it's foids slooting, whether rich or poor I just wanted to see the term used somewhere:

"while, I went on a one-woman rampage, spending most of my days either up to my armpits in soap-suds and other people's pubic hair, having s*x with stoned, broke teenagers on Tabasco-soaked mattresses"

https://www.vice.com/en/article/belle-de-neige-ski-underbelly/#:~:text=while%2C%20I%20went%20on%20a%20one%2Dwoman%20rampage%2C%20spending%20most%20of%20my%20days%20either%20up%20to%20my%20armpits%20in%20soap%2Dsuds%20and%20other%20people%E2%80%99s%20pubic%20hair%2C%20having%20sex%20with%20stoned%2C%20broke%20teenagers%20on%20Tabasco%2Dsoaked%20mattresses

For some reason I had to click at least one Reddit link before I backed out. This proved to be a good idea, shout-out to epic definition definer /u/Piper6728:

It originally meant after skiing social activity, but it eventually became lewd and sexual (in superman 3 evil superman used Après ski to screw a woman's brains out)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

You're equating slavery to supporting a political candidate which is pretty disgusting.Btw many people supported the candidate because of terrible leadership failures on the left. Trump is a byproduct of bad policies all around. Nobody would have considered him if the left hadn't failed so epically. Don't get me wrong, Trump is a narcissistic idiot but the left failed us in more ways than one. (-8)

Actually, just no.Trump is not the result of failings on "the left". Trump is the natural end of the trend in the Republican party that has been happening since Reagan. The pattern has been consistent. Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump have made terrible domestic and foreign policy decisions that have royally screwed us over. Each worst than the last. Democratic presidents have not been perfect, but they have been doing their best to pick up the pieces of inherited disasters, and then they get blamed for the fallout of decisions their Republican predecessors made that were not easily fixable. Clinton was the only President in the past four decades to balance the budget and start to decrease the nation debt which skyrocketed under Reagan. Obama was left with remnants of a phony war that W started. People like to blame Obama for increasing debt, but a lot of the increase in his years in office was consequence of things he couldn't control. People blame Biden for inflation that is a direct... (20)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Mmm sounds like you're uneducated on Donald Trump being a racist. Let me educate you….Trump invited leaders of the HBCUs to the White House in his first term, proceeded to help get them more funding. The Platinum plan was drawn up to create safer urban neighborhoods with the highest policing standards. Introduced new criminal justice reform most of which greatly affected the black community….all of this comes at a time when the Left is telling you he's racist, but Americans that have interacted with Trump tell you he is one of the most genuine humans in the world. Which is shown by his Numerous Humanitarian awards/nominations. (0)

Assuming he isn't racist, who cares? What I can't stand about the man is that he is weak as a human and he misuses his power for stupid stuff. I am a Republican but I walked away from Trump when I heard him badmouth John McCain's POW status…this tough talk from the coward who failed to serve in the same war. Taking away security details for his enemies is petty and immature (MAGA morons wont care to admit it but Biden reauthorized those security details…that is how a real man behaves…you rise above the petty crap).Like Trump MAGA losers are all tough at the keyboard but everyone I have met IRL can't even look me in the eye when I ask challenging questions, like the McCain scenario…one guy, a vet, denied it happened then when I showed him the clip he made some lame claim about editing or whatever.I heard the quote as it aired in real time. Trump is a coward.Character counts. (1)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Yeah, frick freedom of speech!! (-12)

"oh no, I have to care about other people to be accepted by society"!!!!!!!!!!!! If you sit there and spew hatred and then people genuinely don't like you as a person, then people DONT want to hear you, be around you, or spend time with you dude. That's just reality and basic human relationships. If you cannot reconcile that concept, consider thinking that if you are not capable of considering the other person when you interact with them, you're probably stuck on caveman shit. Genuinely - if you are an unkind butthole in this current society - people don't want to spend time with you. That's the end of it. They don't want to hear from you because you think LESS of real human beings. Because you think that poor people don't deserve the same respect and dignity as other human beings. Because you are willing to condemn innocent people to death because of their religion, race, sexuality, or otherwise. That is NOT the human connection or intended experience. "Do no harm" commit no evils, ... (3)

OP

Canadian here. Not sure if this is PreperIntel worthy but just reporting something I've honestly never seen in my life. Canadians woke up today feeling super patriotic. And super pissed. Not that we aren't usually patriotic but we aren't a bunch of flag wavers. It's more a quiet patriotism we keep to ourselves. And we are generally a polite and reserved bunch in general.

Not today. Holy... the mood in Canada is ... PISSED.

Most of the anger is aimed at your current head of state but also at your country as a whole. Not so much individual Americans. You will be perfectly safe traveling through Canada or visiting. But there is outright anger directed at any product with a "Made in the USA" flag. Every store in Canada is going around with maple leaf stickers marking the "Made in Canada" products. Consumer boycotts are springing up organically across the country. The talk is really sort of ... ugly.

I get the sense there has been significant damage done to the US Brand in Canada. And I don't think it's confined to Canada. I have friends in the UK who say the same. They are also just frankly pissed beyond all reason. I expect it's the same across Europe.

Hopefully it dies down. It's absolutely non-productive and unCanadian. America and Canada have been ride or die BFF's for a century or more. I live in Arizona 1/2 time and I love LOVE it here. I have yet to personally meet an American I didn't genuinely like. You are good people. You do not deserve any of this.

Unless of course you voted for this. In which case... hope you get everything you voted for and then some.

also RIP to /r/prepperintel, it has turned into just another 'Drumf le bad' subreddit

I passed a small group of young women listening to music in the park on my walk to the butcher shop this morning.

They had a speaker and were dancing to an extremely catchy tune.

“G’day, ladies,” I said. “What are you listening to?”
