Mr hawk I got your stamps!
Crazy, computers use power?
This country isn’t worth fighting for. Shit pops off and I’m stamping my own card because I’ve suffered you assholes long enough.
It is but with inherent negative connotations.
One schemes to get away with shady shit but plans to do good things.
I’m so tired of being told I’m sad because I don’t have drugs.
I’ve tried a dozen medications and they all make me feel worse. One made me allergic to fucking sunlight.
Our world is broken and dying as the rich hasten it along and we’re gaslit to accept the blame for it.
The police are thugs servicing fascist tyrants and protecting them from us.
Wall Street, Walmart, schools, healthcare, fucking everything is about controlling and exploiting.
When I was a kid, super soakers were a hundred dollars. China has basically battery powered water rail guns at that same price point now while we still have the same hand pump plastic shit. The US gets farther and farther behind the world and yet somehow even more up is own ass despite being one is the dumbest and fastest countries on the fucking planet.
I’ve given up on hope. There’s too much money to be made off suffering.
Ironically, forgiving the debt would generate immediate economic activity that the government would tax and collect that money back with far greater returns.
Every dollar in food stamps generated $1.70 in economic activity and that’s just for “normal” poor people.
The problem isn’t (just) the cost of education being insane but that wages aren’t increasing to cover the bigger numbers.
The problem is that it’s becoming harder to hide the entire country is a “company town” or African diamond mine where keeping you trapped in debt you’ll never escape is the goal and it’s perfectly legal because they own the laws.
I have been with my employer for a decade. My nominal wage has increased 50% but once you account for inflation I’m still basically at my starting wage even after a decade of promotions and certifications.
“about a meg” because it’s almost unthinkable anyone cares about 3 tenths of a meg much less 2 hundredths.
Because you asked what I meant. Of course what I meant didn’t include your response to it. You almost seem offended my thoughts weren’t yours.
In short, Kant said people should be the goal, not the means.
It’s ok to make yourself dinner.
It’s ok to make your friend dinner because you want to make them happy.
It’s not ok to make your friend dinner because you want to have sex with them.
It’s not ok to make your friend make you dinner because you don’t want to cook.
Every facet of capitalism is exploitation by design as profit is unpaid labor. However classless socialism isn’t automatically devoid of exploitation.
None of us asked to be here. I certainly don’t want to be here anymore. Placing the value of a life upon the imaginary lines it landed between, how much money it’s parents had, or the color of it’s skin are all pretty fucked up.
Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.
The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths’ willingness to sacrifice others for power.
But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food… All fucked to make the richest richer.
Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.
That’s fine. The Democrat plan is to normalize fascism.
“Both sides are the same” is ultimately true because both empower capitalism’s subjugation of democracy. Every time the GOP tugs right and the DNC meets them half way. The greatest accomplishment of the Democrats in the last 20 years is the ACA- designed by the heritage foundation but stripped of the greatest cost savings measures.

Some of this is objective. Some is just nostalgia.
You can still download music and play wow. On this front you probably miss simpler times when you weren’t aware of problems you are now or resent responsibilities that took you from things you enjoyed and make you feel old.
On the other hand, society globally is markedly worse than before COVID with substantial right-wing shifts.
Unfortunately, end of days accelerationists and techno fascist billionaires have been working quite hard to make the world a worse place for several decades…
So I largely agree. Personally, in terms of skills and assets, I’m in a much better place than I was 2000 years ago. However, in terms of happiness and hope for the future… I actually still had some then.
“Rushing change” is a glorious example of “liberal” media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.
And this is how social media hijacks brains.
Absolutely. Great video on the matter: https://youtu.be/xDgzgDSInt0
I work 4x10 wfh and I’m more productive than the people that go into the office despite spending no less than half the day playing videogames.
I always keep in mind the first doctor to advocate washing hands after handling corpses was laughed out of medicine and died alone in an asylum ironically enough from sepsis.
To that point, the vast majority of research on nutrition is done on the presumption carbohydrates should be the foundation of our diet. Even “low” carb diet studies with have 30% of the calories coming from simple carbs. Oddly enough, the human body works much differently and much better when you don’t give it -any- sugar: https://youtu.be/cST99piL71E
I can expand, but briefly, sugar acts like a sandblaster through your heart and shreds the endothelium (the finger-things that move things in and out of the bloodstream). LDL is a repair van that drives around with cholesterol and saturated fat to repair the plaques. (HDL brings empty LDL back to the liver) The entire logic of blaming cholesterol for heart disease is like blaming bandaids for stab wounds. Doctors say eat less fat and more “healthy whole grains” (carbs) and the liver makes more cholesterol. Doctor sees cholesterol is still high because the body needs it and prescribes statins which impair production. This leads to nerve pain because it’s what literally every nerve in the body is insulated with.
The problems with cholesterol stem from it sitting in the bloodstream and glycating due to prolonged sugar exposure. Sugar staying in the bloodstream is basically ketoacidosis, so clearing sugar is a priority that results in LDL gumming up and going bad, essentially.
I can expand on this, but basically the human body needs predominantly fat with some protein and actually zero carbs.
That’s not how you spell executed.
