If by “them” you mean ecocidal narcissists in their stupid pollution powered people killing machines I agree wholeheartedly.
- Comment on Team Car! 16 hours ago:
Translation: it really hurts my feelings when you point out all the factual reasons relying on a pollution powered people crusher for my personal transportation is bad for society and the environment, please stop!!
- Comment on Team Car! 18 hours ago:
I hope you see how this attitude is just as dumbed as someone who thinks cars are the only solution.
Nope. Bcs at worst I’m annoying some people who’ve embraced ecocidal narcissism. Carbraims are people who are embracing ecocidal narcissism. If you don’t see the difference there, I don’t think there’s much hope for you.

There is also basically no public transit in my state, city or not.
And yet you still choose to live there. That’s the problem.
Hard to believe if all you’ve known is big city privilege,
And as hard as it is to believe with terminal carbrain, I grew up in the suburbs and lived for a while in rural Appalachia before moving to “the big city”. And it was a sacrifice to move here, it sucked for a few years. But now I don’t have to destroy the environment to get to and from work. You should try it. When nobody is willing to stay and pay taxes in car dependent shit holes, the assholes who run them will start “footing the bill” for decent transit infrastructure. Til then, staying just means you value your convenience over a habitable planet just like every other carhole on Earth.

this is such a fucking privileged take that it hurts.
From where I’m sitting the privilege belongs to the people making zero changes to their daily lives in response to climate change. Why the fuck do think it’s ok to live 25 miles from work? Why not move? Bcs it would be inconvenient, got it.
People should not live in places where a car is required. Unless they are doing jobs that have to be done outside of the city. You wanna live like a modern hermit? Ok, but you need to get a job working on a farm, in a mine, or at a logging camp.
Otherwise, move your ass to a denser area with good transit or stop pretending that anything but selfishness and a desire to avoid inconvenience motivated you to stay in suburbia.

Anyways nenunna car has already made the decision that their minor convenience is worth the possible death of someone they don’t know and also worth the definite degradation of the shared environment everyone needs to live.
Expecting such a person to give any more of a fuck about the people around them than is necessary to avoid the “hassle” of hitting a pedestrian or cyclistsl is a laughable concept.
Good people don’t drive cars as personal transportation.

I’m not the one who’d eat poop to fit in, and I’m definitely not the one so bothered by what other people eat that I need to lecture people on the Internet about it.
Now go ahead and draw your false equivalence between calling out ableist bullshit and malding over what other people eat so everyone can see what a serious adult you are.

Yeah, “medical issues are fine but fussy eaters are dickheads” = “I am the sole arbiter of whether your disability counts or not”. Because not every neurodivergent person is gonna give your their entire medical history to explain why your shit food isn’t going to work for them.
I swear every Neurotypical alive would eat feces directly from a toilet if someone somehow convinced them everyone else was doing it and it would be weird of them to refuse.

Actually, given that most pizza joints will happily sell you a pizza for take-out, it just means their laziness of not wanting to go get their own pizza means more than their principles on the matter.

Good. This is the experience people using these garbage apps deserve, tbh.
- Comment on onions 5 days ago:
“you’d better learn to like eating food your body will treat like poison so I’m not mildly inconvenienced” is…well that’s certainly a take.
Why does everyone seem to have this insipid hate boner for people whose restricted diet is due to medical factors outside of their control but nobody gives people any shit for their 100% voluntarily restricted diets?
Where’s this kind of energy when people eat Kosher? Or Halal? Or Vegan? Nobody’s entire neurology is fighting against them breaking any of those food taboos, but they’re generally respected by the same Normies who push for torturing neurodivergent kids with inedible food “for their own good”.

Amazing how easily you can dismiss casual ableism as “just a shitpost”.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
personally, do want to move away from the city, own a car,
Then you are 100% a part of the problem and aiming to become a bigger part of the problem.
I can keep saving and be…rich
Lol, so you’re not only toxically individualistic, but delusional too.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
You act like people can’t own apartments, townhouses, or condos. An ideal housing law would require all housing to be as dense as is practicable for the geology and geography of the lot and ban all forms of for profit rental.
- Comment on onions 6 days ago:
Because anyone publicly displaying ableism really ought to be ashamed. But most of you secretly agree withost forms of ableism and so you’ll never shame people for it. Case in point: you’re here defending naked bigotry because the people being discriminated against are weird and/or childish in your estimation, so they obviously deserve the bigotry, or at least the bigotry is neutral.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
Nobody is special. All single family homes are wasteful. Suburbia is a breeding ground for Fascism. You sound like a preteen railing against having to do chores.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
Yeah your “Hell is other people” bullshit isn’t really beating the toxic individualism allegations. You see that, right?
- Comment on onions 6 days ago:
Certainly a bigot is a far worse thing to be than a picky eater.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
Lol, no. I’m not interested in living in cousin-humper country just so I can have a shitty patch of grass to have to mow.
You should learn how to coexist with other humans in a shared space instead of thinking you and maybe your immediate family are so fucking special you deserve to take up the space where a dozen families could live in actually dense housing.
- Comment on Housing prices 6 days ago:
Yep, selfish and toxic. You probably think it’s better to live in a car dependent suburb where “those people” can’t bother you, don’t you?
- Comment on onions 6 days ago:
Remember kids: all shaming of “picky” eating is just socially acceptable ableism, and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
- Comment on Anon follows the rules 1 week ago:
My parent is also raised me to avoid alcohol, partying, and sex. Which is why I moved out at 17 and started living on my own terms. And I will absolutely never respect anyone who stays at home for money when their parents impose rules on them. If you’re an adult and your parents still phrase things in the imperative when they speak to you, you’re not actually an adult.

- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
Lol, no it isn’t. I make that now, can’t afford a house anywhere near a city where a job like that is available.
Single Family Homes are the epitome of wasteful toxic individualism and your yearning for one marks you as a selfish, toxic person.
- Comment on Housing prices 1 week ago:
Yeah. Fuck it. Let’s blame immigrants. Any ol’ port in a storm to avoid acknowledging the role of commodified housing and bipartisan neoliberalism for forty fuckin years amirite?
Supply and demand mean nothing in the market unless someone can use them as an excuse to price gouge. That goes dou ly for housing. Build hundreds of new units every month and rents still don’t fall, because landleeches know that “every seller in the market wants too much, I’ll do without until prices fall” isn’t a valid choice for housing.
I read earlier today about a study that showed rents have gone down in areas that ICE has targeted.
Go ahead and drop a link to that study here, we’ll all disembowel it for you and have a good laugh at how gullible you’d have to be to attribute it to fewer immigrants and not to the massive loss in desireability for a neighborhood where masked secret police are disappearing neighbors in the middle of the night.

Nothing broke.
This is capitalism working as intended.
- Comment on Take cover 1 week ago:
it’s a mistake to conclude that every employer the world over is the same.
Nah, that’s a 100% correct assessment. Every single employer is looking to exploit someone’s labor by paying them a fraction of the value they generate. That’s where your profit comes from.
To that end, every employer will, to one degree or another, deliberately make their hiring process more difficult than it needs to be tonweed out anyone not sufficiently desperate to accept whatever ridiculous low-ball offer the employer intends to make.
I get it, you didn’t invent capitalism or wage labor, but you’re sure as hell profiting from it. So pretending you’re doing the people you exploit a favor or that your time is more valuable than that of the people you exploit is more than just a little rich.
- Comment on This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen? 1 week ago:
The Democratic Party is where progressive movements are captured and murdered, or at least neutered. It’s the party’s main function. That’s why they’re fine with throwing an election to Trump and fundraising from the minority for a few years, their donors reward them either way as long as they stop those meddling kids.

Would love the kind of job where violence is an acceptable response to hostility from people you encounter, money is easily made by looting bodies and opening random treasure chests in the wilds, and magic works.
Where can I apply?
