If you don't recognize Suzi Quatro, she is the prototypical female Rockstar. This is who Joan Jett wanted to be when she grew up.

No, civilians should not perform a traditional military hand salute during the national anthem; instead, the proper civilian etiquette is to stand at attention and place your right hand over your heart. [1, 2, 3]

The traditional hand salute is a formal military courtesy reserved exclusively for individuals serving in uniform and, by customary extension, military veterans. When a civilian renders a hand salute, it can sometimes be viewed as inappropriate or even disrespectful to the proper protocols

In fairness, they attacked President Obama for not doing a proper military salute.

“Holy shit two cakes,” I mutter to myself as I do fucking anything these days, this post was a godsend

[ruffboi-mags]

I know it’s not July yet, but guys, happy 10 years of “two cakes”. This post on god has been a godsend not only as a writer myself but as a friend of artists and writers who I love to encourage. This was legitimately a game-changer.

OP thank you so much for this.

I met someone driving one of these while stuck in traffic. I remember that the engine is a modified high output motor from a Ford Mustang.

I wish they would realize that universal healthcare doesn’t mean they HAVE to get healthcare through the state, just that it is there. You can still pay millions of dollars out of pocket for your own treatment at a private hospital.

America actually has terrible healthcare compared to a lot of nations with socialized medicine:

But you can see how powerful the ‘America is the greatest country on earth’ propaganda is in our schools.

As someone who works for a health insurance company, I can tell you that the Venn diagram between "Commercial Health Insurance Medical Policy" and "Medicare/Medicaid Medical Policy" is closer to a circle than you think.

Also, your friendly neighborhood megacorporation can "self-fund" policies, which means they make their own rules and pay an insurance company to serve primarily as an administrator for backend stuff like claims payouts and service questions.

Would you rather trust a CFO with your medical care?

[byjove]

I KNOW. That was what made me so angry about that. You do not trust the government to make choices about your healthcare (valid, the United States government has made terrible decisions about healthcare) but you trust your insurance to decide if you deserve your surgery or not? Socialized medicine puts more power in the hands of doctors, so many doctors are distinctly frustrated with the health insurance system deciding what their patient needs or does not need to survive and denying necessary treatment because it is expensive and there is another (ineffective) treatment. Our medical system in the US is not working, I don’t know one person who has not had a negative experience, it kills people, it incentivizes people to ignore symptoms and warning signs until they are too sick to treat, we have massive healthcare deserts in poor areas because for-profit medicine does not want to help people if you cannot make money off it.

Apparently the government is more efficient when there are less of us. Less poor people. Cut government assistance and you can save money on gas chambers as well. Save money on bullets when the revolution is hungry and diseased. He's not "gonna get us killed," he's killing us.
