  I made better decisions, have more realistic beliefs, and understand the complexities of the world.

  Trolololo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Che Mangione⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony here is that Che Guavara was a medical doctor AND in charge of torture for Castro… So that’s kinda similar to United Healthcare.

  People keep saying the family is so wealthy, but if that’s true; even they couldn’t keep up with the medical bills.

  Meanwhile Australia found mass graves of dogs and kept it legal for the sake of big corporations who produce nothing but poverty for addicts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm having second thoughts about quitting my current position, I'm scared and I don't understand myself. What's happening to me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, it should always be a surprise attack. Your employer is NEVER your friend. You will always have competing interests.

  Their aim is to exploit you, your aim is to be well paid for doing very little (eg. The fabled “cushy job” scenario).

  There’s no room for a friendship, it’s adversarial. You’re cordial to get long until there’s a viable move to make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had multiple comments deleted on Lemmy about the UHC shooting.

  Feel free to upload more pictures claiming to be him that aren’t, post them to Reddit, send them to the news claiming to be from an official source.

  Protect your folk heros America.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Backed Trump With Over $250 Million, Fueling the Unusual ‘RBG PAC’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Peter Thiel funded a two year career in politics for one of his lackies then introduced that man (JD Vance) to Trump as a VP candidate in exchange for money and analytics (Thiel did the analytic algorithms for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and has since done them for the CIA, FBI, and Mossad).

  …so yeah, JD Vance’s political career is only two years old. Imagine that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How embarrassing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s embarrassing was seeing lemny try to cebsor commentary and discussion of events whilst reddit just let things rip.

  I thought this was the free speech platform but reddit put this place to shame. What a let down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How embarrassing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out mainstream journalism, news agencies, and even forums that deliver “the news” are actually there to force a particular culyural interpretation of the news whilst preventing others. We can see this in the sane washing of Trump.

  It’s another aspect of Cultural Class Warfare - The Frankfurt School pointed it out in this essay. They called it "The Culture Industry, and Marcuse said it was an inescapable part of the reproduction of culture in the age of “mechanical reproduction”… Which is what Marcuse’ book “One Dimensional Man” is about.

  Russia is getting really low on vehicles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California lawmakers to begin special session to 'Trump-proof' state laws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They should also consider creating networks of sub unions and commonwealths that pool different kinds of resources that are beyond the clutches of The Federal Government. Perhaps holding them in trusts which are obligated to share them as forms of mutual aid under specific rules and conditions.

  Distributing parallel forms of government might be a way to keep Trump’s power in check. If certain networks or interstate agreement/trusts/commonwealths get large enough, they might even develop internationally recognized travel documents, and welfare systems.

  The point would be to try to remain stealthy though, and avoid conflicts or the appearance of competing with the Federal government. So all Federal obligations would still have to be met.

  A new European Union might be a model to follow, it would just be…an American States Union.

  …a distributed American States Union. DASU, rather than USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smug Viruses⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bats use heat to fly off their viruses, they get pretty bad ones, but when they’re flying Bats get really hot. So it burns them off.

  Also, some viruses have evolved into us and ended up serving functions in the human bawdy.

  Migrants from war torn countries unfortunately. In some communities there’s a lot of people with birthdays on Jan 1st, because they don’t know.

  It’s tough out there in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I threaten a politician to kill them like Trump did to Liz Cheney could I be arrested? If so how come Trump hasn't been arrested for it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump has Musk and Murdoch money behind him. Vance’s life up until this point has veen thoroughly sponsored by Peter Thiel… They all have Epstein connections… A whole lot of people should be in jail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How funny, right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, that’s not what this is about.

  It’s commenting on the fact that sometimes abuse survivors share traumatic stories as if they’re normal or even fun, when compared to a normal upbringing they’re actually incredibly depressing or traumatic stories/memories. Because to them, those stories were the normal seeming parts.

  So sometines they’ll do this with no sense that it’s a traumatic story - because it’s far from the worst things they experienced.

  When this happens, it has the mood of the two characters in this gif. So hope that explains it for you.

  Or rather than soak them, you can manually separate them, oil and salt them, then cook them on a lower setting until they start to go golden brown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Australians knew the whole truth about Indigenous history, Lidia Thorpe’s royal outburst would not have been a shock | Celeste Liddle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Way to make up a stawman quote I never said.

  You’ll note that most of my comment was spent saying your deceptive, and have to twist words… So the fact you responded by fabricating a quote because you couldn’t find one, is hilarious.

  But no, races don’t exist… Ethnicities do. Go look it up for yourself. There’s more genetic diversity within “darker skinned people from Africa” than there is between light skinned people (what you would call “white people”) and dark skinned people (whom you might call africans).

  Race doesn’t exist, it’s not a scientific concept. Ethnicity does, because it’s a mix of culture, shared history, and appearance (and no, that’s not a euphemism for race because it includes how groups dress/behave), so no, “White people” isn’t a real race… But Finnish people exist as an ethnicity, Germans exist as an ethnicity, French people exist as an ethnicity…

  They all have different cultures, languages, traditions, dances, customs. Things constructed culturally.

  They all share superficial bodily characteristics (as do the rest of humanity)… But there’s no unified culture or country called “White”.

  Like I said. There’s more genetic diversity between “African” ethnicities than there is between white people and “black” people. But you’re just doing an evaluation of people’s skin colour and how they look superficially amd saying that’s race. Go look up whether race is a scientifically valid concept. Go find the country of “White”… It’s not a thing.

  The world has cultures, histories and ethnicities, not races.

  Race is socially constructed not a scientific matter of genes and procreation, that would be genetics. That’s why albino indians are still ethnically indians. They’re nkt suddenly Finnish or German just because of sharing a skin colour.

  Anyways, I’m sure you’ll misquote me then pretend a misinterpretation you put in quotes yourself is what I was saying…

  … because like I pointed out earlier, no matter what I say you’re going to have to twist it. Because not only are you a believer in an outdated ideas of Racism (bloodlines and purity and what not, when in actual fact we all trace back to the same people), you also have to lie and construct strawman arguments out of desparation.

  It’s not surprising you don’t knkw Australian history. You also still think race is a scientifically valid concept. You’re a liar, outdated, and ignorant of the facts, as expected.
