- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 23 hours ago:
I read somewhere on Lemmy, the idea of running as a ‘Radical Republican’ and push leftist policies. Just focus on working class issues and nepo-wealth corruption in the business world. That might help win over the same disenfranchised that helped trump win.

I know there is a difference, but…if the purpose of a system is it’s end result then is there a difference?

Well Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Does that mean God can’t enter heaven? Maybe they can start selling indulgences again.

If God made people in his image and people are also corporations, then that means God is a corporation?

KFC has gotten shittier chicken. I don’t even eat there anymore. I would rather get a rotisserie from a food library.
Wendy’s has gotten worse with their ‘sauced nuggets’. I’m 100% convinced the quality of meat in their chicken nuggets got worse and the new CEO is trying to cover it up by adding sauces as a gimmick.

Well…maybe, but my original teacher stopped teaching in the middle of the school year. There were rumors of him getting a BJ from a student and being fired. He might have just retired. You know rumors. They moved in a couple different temp teachers to fill in for the last half of the year. One of them was bored one week and just started playing the trilogy. Good old ‘principles of technology’ class.

Fun fact about me, the first time I watched the original Star Wars trilogy was in high school. My teacher didn’t really want to teach us anything, so he put on episodes 4, 5, and 6 over the course of a few days.

- Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement? 1 week ago:
Well…yes and no.
Yes there was a point, but that wasn’t the correct time to complain about that problem. It’s silly to me to try to compare police violence against white lives vs black lives. There is a biased based on facts. Black Lives Matter highlighted this difference, but people argued ‘against’ the message with a bad faith argument of ‘All Lives Matter’. The whole point was black lives are being killed more often than they should be, so black lives matter, also. Not that the are the only lives that matter. To paraphrase Michael Che, if you see someone with a 9/11 never forget shirt just say “excuse me, but all buildings matter.”
Dem outreach to whites or white youth is a different topic from police reform. It should be anyway.
- Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement? 1 week ago:
No they are ignored youth (like most youth) and the fascists are actively recruiting them while the Dems aren’t. There are plenty of young white Americans that could use some outreach, but it doesn’t happen.
I’m not saying other sects of youth don’t deserve outreach and attention too. They all do. The Dems talk about the other sects of youth just not them, so the young whites feel left out.
You can try and dismiss them (like Dems do) and hope that they find the right path, or you can talk to them. They are growing up in a rapidly changing world and probably have less of a grasp on it then the older generations. People think kids know stuff because they grew up with computers. That’s not how stuff works. People are people. Some know and some don’t. Don’t dismiss all of them.

Billionaires own the way most people in the US (the world too) consume their news. It is a form of entertainment for many people. They stopped caring about facts and morals. They just care about “their team” winning and the other side getting hurt. The 2 party system has an “us vs them” mentality that hurts all of us in the long run.
Most people that hate on AOC haven’t seen her speak in Congress or give statements. They just heard fox claimed she wants to ban steaks and burgers because of cow farts.

- Comment on Anon wants a cute girlfriend. 4 weeks ago:
I know people have different hardships that I would never understand, but the outlook of ‘woe is me, I can never be happy’ I see in some people is just poop. I know people need to vent and this might be a little of that and not a 24/7 type of attitude for the people that post it.
Plus there is a whole nother part that might have mental health issues. I wouldn’t even start to pretend to understand that.
I was mainly focusing on his “it’s over for me” attitude. I know life is hard. I don’t like being social, but I learned how to turn it on if I need to. It is just very draining, but it is a good skill to develop. I’m pretty introvert but I was in the military and had to go recruiting. I was a nerd in high school and didn’t have too much of a social life. During recruiting duty, I developed some character to act like when I need to be more open and talk to groups. Not a completely different character, but more of an idea of a person to start acting like for this role. It was like old Colbert Report energy mixed with quiet samurai jack endless drive to accomplish his goal. It sucked recruiting but I made it. I was with people that hated their life too. Knowing that I was with people that hated their life and were struggling too made it easier for some reason.
I’m not trying to complain about my fate here.
I mean, go ahead if you want. It’s good to get your thoughts out.
I don’t really have a 100% correct answer, but there are different answers you could try that might point you in the right direction. My non-solicited advice is try to find a hobby that you like and work getting to know people around that. I can find places near me to do baby goat yoga on the weekend. Even if you don’t like yoga, you can check out baby goats! You can look up any comic shop, they usually host events. I want to get more into gardening and I just started looking in to amateur radio. I guess there are a bunch of ham radio groups, so I might be able to talk to people without being near them.
Public libraries host events too. They are awesome and need some more love.
Idk. I hear a lot of people are on twitch now, but I’m too busy between work and Lemmy so I’m content. Sorry for rambling and I hope you didn’t/don’t take offense, you might have tried all of that stuff. I totally understand the wanting to leave a place when I’m out in public. My wife and I have been known just to disappear early during social gatherings.

They are blaming bad luck for their shitty personality. No matter how ugly you are. You can do things to make improvements and become more attractive to a potential partner. (Diet, exercise, breathing through your nose (for real), getting a hobby that a potential partner would like (music, draw, express yourself through poems?, car maintenance, something))
They think they’ll never find anyone because they’re under 6ft or don’t have dimples or whatever other thing these guys obsess over. It’s really because they have a shitty personality that they won’t improve their lives, so they blame everyone else for the actions that they aren’t taking.

Pick up a hobby, read a book. Not sure how Japan or other countries are living, but one thing we still have in the USA are public libraries. We can download an app and check out books. For free. There is a lot more stuff at the actual library, but downloading books and reading them for money sounds like something I can retire doing. I take book reading days at my current job. As long as I put in “8 hours” of work they don’t care how I spend my 8 hours.

Thank you for letting me post this. Here is a copypasta that helps explain it:
I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”
“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”
“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”
“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”
He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
“Because I was afraid.”
“Afraid?”
“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.
