  The fresh air and movement can improve your mood as much as just being away from the funsuckers.

  Who doesn’t look forward to going home, putting on some comfy clothes, and chilling with their cat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon finds a new way to get protein⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And then there’s the other kind of cat (mine) that uses all the protein to become pear-shaped.

  The guy that killed the blood sucking parasite who got richer denying critical care to insured patients after they’d paid his company tens of thousands of dollars?

  Sounds like a hero to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hit a little too close to home? I never said you were an asshole mod but if you feel like it was directed at you maybe you should reflect on that. This is a shitposting community after all, I wouldn’t expect much serious business here.

  You can continue to threaten people when they try to talk with you though, like you just did with me. That’s definitely not something asshole reddit mods do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m simply having a conversation, it’s weird that you think this is trolling. Can you show me where I was trolling you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Welcome to the internet, I would’ve assumed you’d be used to it by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve all received violent threats Squid. Anyone who isn’t a rabid right winger has received threats of violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You wouldn’t know it wasn’t reddit by the way some of the asshole mods act though.

  I say “the thin and crispy tortilla chips” and Tostitos is the company that makes those so they get my money.

  “Please quote me showing my fragility.”

  Bro I pushed your button this morning when I got to work by copypasting a well-known quote. You’ve been arguing over more and more tangential shit since then just like I knew you would. We can argue for a week because you can’t ever let something go.

  Seriously though “please quote me showing my fragility” is the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile. Thanks for being my entertainment today.

  Sure thing champ, “I know you are but what am I” stopped working in 3rd grade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your fragility is hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The dictate usage? It’s not a lie just because you didn’t know that usage, chalk it up to a learning moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why nobody likes you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You lost the plot a long long time ago champ, please stop responding to me now. Go be pedantic and argue useless bullshit with someone else ya fuckin’ clown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve contributed nothing and only put marginalized people further at risk by your inaction and pedantry. Find some way to help and do that (or just keep arguing on the internet, that’s totally helpful).

  Have a nice day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus christ you’re simple. Go pick another argument with another user champ, that seems to be your hobby.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dictate: Lay down authoritatively; prescribe

  Like what you did trying to tell people, idk what you’re even trying to tell them, to not arm themselves and get on the train when it’s time? That armed resistant to Nazis is dumb?

  It’s not an accusation if it’s apparent to everyone. I’m glad you could flee but frankly your risk is now minimized and your opinions on what people still here should do isn’t worth much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A .world mod who was so stressed about helping his queer daughter escape rising fascism he was suicidal now thinks he can dictate to people who weren’t able to escape and is unable to see how a relevant quote applies to him.

  "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

  So you just glossed over everything in my original comment except the part about saving (food, money, medicine, anything) and owning a gun? I specifically said network with like-minded people. Community is the only way we’ll get through the next decade. If buying a gun is a financial hardship that’s fine, look for other steps you can take. Don’t just throw your hands up and say “no!”

  People are going to have to learn to rely on themselves (and their neighbors) because infrastructure and public services days are basically numbered. Soon prices will start to rise for the most basic goods, people will reduce their consumption. They will “make do” or they’ll do without. Talk to your grandparents who survived the depression. Remember the covid toilet paper panic? That’ll be a fond memory.

  You can dislike my message, I don’t care that much. I’ll even agree that everything you said should be done. However, my messages is meant for marginalized, radicalized individuals who are at very real risk of being exterminated. People who have the means and the mind to organize and resist.

  My “queer hiking” club has already established second lines of communication and started spitballing what to do as things become progressively worse. This is real and I do not plan to get on the train willingly. Moving abroad isn’t an option, so this is what I’ll do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m willing to entertain any other suggestions you have. Your method isn’t possible for me or lots of others so please, if you have some suggestions this is the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My dirt poor aunt has a closet full of canned goods, she saves her excess.

  Do you think Trump is a risk? You fled for that very reason right? Would you have suggested Jews disarm in the run up to the Holocaust? Not all of us have the resources to flee dude, despite your implication that I have some sort of wealth, which is rich coming from someone who legitimately was able to relocate.

  You do not automatically come up with good solutions which are beyond criticism and people who criticize them aren’t people who are just ignoring things.

  The only criticism I saw was “no that won’t work!” from someone who’s already ensured his safety. I’m all for sharing ideas if you have any Squid but maybe all you have to contribute is “no!” maybe you could lurk more and let the people facing the risk face it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saving what?

  Anything you can. Rice and beans.

  How do you do that in a small apartment?

  In small planters I guess.

  You know shit about me Squid, I grew up dirt poor in the ozarks. Don’t lecture me about poverty while you flee the country. Wtf are you gonna do when the SS comes knocking on your door? Buy a plane ticket? You’re poking a lot of holes but I don’t see any action plans from your safe haven in England, just a lot of flak for people with skin in the game.

  Ya’ll acting like you can discuss your way out of a camp are playing with your own lives (and those of your families). Maybe you don’t have anything at risk, that’s great disregard what I’m saying. But if you’re a trans/queer/non-Christian “other” maybe it’s a good time to look into protecting your and yours.

  Or you can listen to the… idk, are they supposed solutions? And ignore what’s happening in our country and get some protection before they decide you have a mental illness and aren’t allowed to have one.

  Bravo for spending your time arguing with a pedant, truly more patient than I would’ve been. People like that make lemmy insufferable. They’re just looking to score a point in a debate and will find any angle to do it. Productive discussion isn’t as important as SLAMMING the “opponent” with a gotcha, it’s exhausting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electoral politics doesn't get the job done⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Start saving now, start learning how to fix things, grow food, make do with less.

  A whole lot of people may not have any choice about going without pay for awhile, much less one day, the time to start preparing is now. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities, learn how to to grow food and repair things.

  The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He might’ve been mentioned once in a class but we definitely didn’t learn much of anything. Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation was of course covered a dozen times. Granted this was decades ago in the 90s.

  For context, I’m in the Midwest and had an 8th grade history teacher/football coach tell us black people had an extra bone in their leg and it made them good at sports. That guy (a beloved teacher) was elected to the school board about 5 years ago. They’re definitely out there and they definitely have some backwards views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No I’m saying people get murdered in Canada, your experience isn’t everyones.

  I haven’t been murdered in the U.S., that doesn’t mean people don’t get murdered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty telling that he’s not mentioned in history books. I didn’t learn anything about him until well into adulthood.

  Nah you’re just sheltered.
