You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A terrifying journey into the depths of human depravity. Next stop, the Trashy Zone.
Following these rules will increase your odds of making it out of the trashy zone alive.
-
Be nice. Rude, aggressive and antagonistic commentors will be made leave.
-
I don't want a classist definition of trashy being this subs main interpretation of trashyness. Posts depicting decadent displays of wealth are encouraged
-
The five patron saints of the trashy zone are Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank from IASIP. Please pay homage to them whenever possible.
-
No overly dark topics like sa or child abuse. I want a light tone to this place. What consistutes too dark is currently up to moderator discretion.
-
Once this server hits 5k subs a community discussion post will be created. Ideas to build this community will be shared and discussed.

She'll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it's time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly
Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.
It's like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.
Don't paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.
She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn't dying early. It sure isn't dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.
This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.
I didn't say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you're feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it's showing more about you than about me.
She should have retired between November 2014 and January 2015 after the GOP won the Senate elections but the Dems still had a few more weeks of control.
But they were afraid of the optics. Unlike the GOP, the Dems have a sense of shame.
You sure? I just pulled it from Wikipedia. They could be wrong and I make no secret of the fact that I'm wrong pretty often.
We were discussing RBG and the guy's claim that she "died too early", not Feinstein.
It's almost as if conversations morph into sub-topics, or something.
Someone should really do something about that, like put indentations on reply comments or something.
What are you talking about? We're trying to discuss Dianne Feinstein here and you chime in with these random thoughts about sub-tropics. It's very distracting.
Are you not able to follow a conversation?
You have a brain injury and you think thats a good time to try and correct other people about politics?
Hey, bud? Maybe you should be nursing that brain injury instead of getting involved in serious conversations if your brain injury is preventing you from following serious conversations.
Oh noes
Nope, 87.
Yes, but OP was referring to RBG, not Feinstein.
She had the opportunity to retire and let someone younger take her seat. She didnt.
Yeah no. She's an idiot, fienstien is an idiot too. Most old people are.
Clarify how they're wrong if you want to label them ignorant, please.
EDIT: Of course they won't...
Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?
Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?
If I had known the amount of hate I'd get from "my side" if I "overstayed" my welcome I'd also cling to my post out of "fuck you too"
One party holds on their members until their corpse rots in jail, and the other abandons them the minute it smells of fart...
Politics are fun!
It's almost as if one side plays unfairly to the status quo and has more power, and the other side has to actively fight for and defend progress and doesn't want to take steps backward.
So you would abandon your morals if asked to give up power to prevent that power being used against your accomplishments?
Sounds like you get along swimmingly with rgb. Power over progress was her motto too.
