- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 16 hours ago:
Step 1: Have money.
Step 2: Rape children (and adults).
Step 3: Put an “R” next to your name.
Congrats, you are now immune from consequences.

The fuck are you talking about? Political party reform is totally possible and has happened multiple times throughout American history. Conservatives just did it in the worst way possible to the Republican party. Positive political party reform is how the wealthy used to be taxed out their assholes back when America’s middle class was strong.

The 2009 supermajority was very short lived. And abortion had been settled by the SC for decades. Not exactly a priority.

I like it when people focus on one thing and ignore all the actual accomplishments. Or maybe you aren’t ignoring them. Maybe you’re entirely ignorant of them.

Yup.
Literally what happened last election.
Got a bunch of fools to throw their hands up with the Democrat party and then fascists waltzed in and are currently speed running destroying our futures.
You can have problems with the Dems and that’s fine and dandy, but if you’re posting about how they’re not going to accomplish anything (fundamental lie if you pay attention at all) then you’re just helping fascists continue to obliterate our futures.
Bottom Line: The Democrats MUST win.

then the US public needs to occupy Washington by multiple millions with a list of demands.
I wish. But honestly, look at us. We don’t have it in us. We’re currently being abused (Constitutional violations left and right) and we haven’t dragged them into the street yet.
We’re weak. We can’t get on the same page. We can’t mobilize.
Or general strike.
You can definitely forget about that. If we aren’t occupying D.C. there’s no way a general strike is happening. Generally speaking a general strike is just not something that would happen. You aren’t going to convince a nation full of people living at the edge of poverty to stop going to work. Not happening.
I’m not trying to dissuade people from doing things, I’m just making realistic observations. And realistically we’re either voting our way out of this or waiting until everyone is starving to fight our way out of it.

Reminder that it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense to reform the Democrat party than to shit on your vote and throw it away with a non-viable 3rd party that isn’t even trying to be viable.
If you vote 3rd party you will watch your country burn while you cross your fingers and hope for a miracle.

It’s been sitting on my hard drive for a few years. I just don’t want to go through the learning curve. I don’t have a lot of time and when I game I just want to hop in and go.
Are there any resources that can help me do that with this game? I’m not a huge survival/crafting fan. Can this game be played without getting too deep into that side of things?
I hopped in once when I first bought it and just felt like there was no direction to go.

I like this comparison because the reason Jetson could work so little was because of the technological advancements.
We live in what people from must a couple centuries ago would consider a wizard magician magic world because of the insane technological advancements we’ve made.
So why the fuck are we still working this much?
The answer is simple. Because the fruits of our labor and humanity’s advancements have been stolen from us by a greedy minority. And we aren’t nearly as mad about it as is necessary to get what we deserve.

He’s a conservative. They think they’re experts at everything. That way they don’t have to learn anything or refer to experts who make them feel inadequate for how stupid they are.

I mean this is far and away the most disgusting, overtly evil administration the U.S. has ever experienced.
It’s comic book villain levels of absurd.
This is what you get when you can’t see the forest for the trees and allow conservatives to outvote liberals. Conservative reality will always be clown reality. And you will live in it unless you take the necessary steps to prevent it, even if you happen to be kinda sorta mad at the Democrat party, which is justified, but do you really want to keep doing this?

But I really just want to be home with my wife.
Sorry, can’t have that until you’re 65-70. Then you’ll just be sitting in hospitals with each other and figuring out how you’ll pay for end-of-life care.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
Same story here.
My parents had to step out of the shithole grind they’d been normalized to before getting enough perspective to have sympathy. And even then, they didn’t have to deal with one million applications and a super intensely competitive job market with shitstain computer moderated hiring processes that we do. They had their career jobs by their late 20s. I didn’t get mine until 35 and that was after a super long job hunt and crazy background check and living pretty near poverty level the whole time.
My dad liked to think that me complaining about jobs meant I didn’t want to work and jerk off all day. Nah. I wanted to be treated with human decency and not worked like a machine until I burned out, without much to show for it.
Our work culture is dogshit.
- Comment on Forty hours, one life... 1 week ago:
I’ve wanted to blow my brains out at every job I’ve ever had except the one I currently have.
I decided that I was going to blow my brains out unless I could find a job that treated me with respect, paid me fairly, and gave me decent benefits, without piling on so much work that I felt like I was being physically crushed.
I got lucky and after 1,000,000 applications and basically at the end of my rope, I finally got it. Or, honestly, I probably would have blown my brains out cuz I was pretty much over this shit.
Our work culture is fucking dogshit.
