thinking about how there's a nintendo game with a plot like "you were arrested for a crime you didn't commit. now, you must uncover the culprit to prove your innocence and clear your name"
and it's also the one with the chill summertime beach vibes
i feel like ppl only see fat characters as either a joke or as a horny thing and i'm just here like "ok but what if they were fat so they were better at hugging me"
I guess there's an argument on where to draw the income line on covid relief checks and that's what's holding them up.
Here's my hot take: if you're sitting here whacking off about how much is "too much" to receive aid, maybe you should be looking at how much is "too much" for tax breaks. At all. Any breaks. You'd make 100x more income than you'd save by stiffing someone who makes 50,001 bucks a year out of a one-time check.
Also hotter take: 50k/yr in Arkansas is VASTLY different than 50k/yr in California. In some of the more gentrified places here, 50k is poverty. That in and of itself is a major problem worth unpacking but not this post.
This entire thing is screwed up, friends. Not even on a "people in power are evil" level. It just doesn't make sense on any level.
