• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't have a plan⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The thoughts and trauma also don’t just go away, they fade like old scars but sometimes your finger runs over it and you remember how you got it. It leaves you harmed in such a way you now don’t fit in exactly well, if you even did to begin with. Some find solace in pure solitude, others through substances. Neither of those situations is healthy. It’s hard to take the bowl they purposely broke that is you, and glue it back together to continue holding water. It leans, constantly, and no amount of patching fixes it fully or forever.

  Why is this relevant? Anon may be such an individual that the idea of even doing something to improve their quality of life seems insurmountable due to depression and trauma. Can’t say for certain, but it was not a single instance.

  Even if the LLM worked flawlessly, you’re just proving your lack of purpose to the company which means they’ll fire you. What do these people even think?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi Mangione sacrificed his freedom for Nothing.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Social murder is what you’re describing. Through policy, red tape, and just wealth inequality people die who didn’t have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaires hate democracy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheaper than what they deserve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The System does not work.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The system only works for the few, as capitalism has always done so. As feudalism before that. The secret ingredient to both systems is systemic racism, oppression, and exploitation.

  When it’s flushed.

  If Obama had not humiliated him at one of those press dinners who knows, he may have never really ran.

  Watch as the metal blade slices through the skin with supreme ease, then continues on through the main muscles of the neck etc?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It declared itself communist but history has shown the most countries have gotten is to socialist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does China have so many multi billionaires if they are aiming to be a communist country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  China has stopped being communist for a while now, it’s developed into some flavour of capitalist society though I don’t remember much about the different variants. It’s certainly top heavy though like the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There’s a lot of confusion about what democratic socialists want, and that’s fair. Even within our group, there are differences among us.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s highly satirical, but I don’t doubt some of MAGA will think it legit. How they react though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨greeting a CEO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We were playing couch co-op Halo on my old XBox because he hadn’t played it before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨greeting a CEO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that an angled blade would create a more thorough cut as it’s a smaller point of contact for cutting. So it’ll cut through ligaments, maybe even vertebrae. Where as a flat one it is initially a small point that gets bigger which requires more force to go through the neck further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centrists have such a Hard Choice.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t have a large, cohesive, left party. There are people who are certainly left in the USA, but we have no real representation out of a handful of congress people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Obama wing of the Democratic Party is declaring “war” on progressives. Why don’t they ever bring this energy against Trump? Why do they hate working class people even more?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The ratchet effect has been going on long enough that the best case scenario is they’re not competent when in power to get anything done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh a little genocide, as a treat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Try to eat local then if possible. While they’re not immune to this, if I had to eat out I’d rather it go to my local sandwich shop instead of Subway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So many reasons to not eat out and especially where that sandwich is likely from. Better to make a good meal with chicken, rice, and veggies for pennies compared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The size decrease of fast-food over the last 5 years.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard shell tacos from most places suck eggs. Especially with how greasy the low quality meat they use turns it into dust. I try for soft shells now when I do buy. Or those weird combination ones with an inner hard shell and outer burrito tortilla.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially thinking Stalin would be a democrat. The difference between him and Hitler was what they said the economic system was that they used to exploit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When do we riot?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s when those in charge start destroying the circus and the bread isn’t affordable people usually revolt as well. They’re in the process of that (ID laws for internet and rising food prices) but we haven’t reached a point where essentially death is a preferable outcome to not doing anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AOC vs Graham on Social Security.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m already not retiring as it is. There’s no way I can save millions of dollars at this point. I treat my “retirement” accounts as just long term savings accounts that automatically accrue when I earn. Nothing else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No Enforcement ⚖️⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well when you don’t hold the permanent members of the security council responsible for their actions, then of course it’ll be disregarded by those not on it permanently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MAGA just wants to be openly racist and anti-LGBT+ again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How preposterous to see a black man running around free! My word, they should immediately be put to work and if they refuse hung! That’s how we did it in the olden days and we should bring those back! /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*landbastard intensifies at the right of replacing a 2 dollar light switch".⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in the same place for over a decade, the deposit I’d like back but the place is kinda infamous for nickle and dime issues to keep as much as possible. Also the new management company have been sticklers for keeping things “clean” without saying what the standard is. I wipe up when I make a mess, sweep and mop when it’s worth my time. Still, they made a stink that I wasn’t perfect. So now I pour oil down the kitchen sink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate him no matter who he represents.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they cannot get over the novel idea that people don’t think that way and thus are lying or doing it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That thump is the door hitting you on the ass on the way out fascist. Fucking neo-liberals lack introspection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any politician who disagrees needs to go⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can tell you who disagrees, anyone who still believe in capitalism. If they say capitalism hasn’t failed or is failing are the enemy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alternative medicine⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So close to a Darwin Award.
