Gulags but for self-imposed self-betterment.

My politics aren’t really on the ballot, however I really hate the idea that if you vote for something you believe in you’re somehow doing democracy wrong. I have never understood the vote shaming rhetoric (especially for people voting for Green party or PSL or anything outside of the primary binary). If you vote for the things you want, you’re doing democracy correctly. Even if you are voting for things I don’t like or hate, if you and your stupid ass are voting for your stupid ass values, you’re technically doing democracy correctly (and stupidly).

$15 for a D-tier sandwich?!?! Does that at include a chip and a drink? This is truly Brandon’s America.

When people say “slop” I truly do think of Subway. They are charging $10 for the sub? Not even as a combo these days? I’m so glad I don’t go to out to eat.

I feel like 96% of things that 1 in 4 millennials and Gen Z-ers won’t do is due to finances.

My favorite fantasy rule/trope, the dripp-ier the hat, the better the magician.

The one in the back right with the feathered cap sealed the deal for me. They look great!

Hold up. If Hexbear eldritch abomination worshippers wouldn’t we trying to attract local fediverse instances/realms/networks into our for one grand sacrifice? One can’t be a cult and hostile to outsiders, it’s just outsiders that may ruin our plans right?

Profound Pain

then Sandy Hook

I’m not trying to be weird or sound weird about it, but when the blood of white children can’t tip the scales against the gold of the gun lobby, it’s over. Roll credits.

It’s so frustrating that we have done zero things other than give more cops more resources. That’s been our only thing we have done to protect kids and teachers. I hate it so much. It sucks so much such vulnerable group is just left to without protection in any sense of the world. We done nothing socially, infrastructure-ly, poltically, any other -ally i can think of other than give cops more money. I hate it.

I hate how desensitized I am to these things.

I hate how much my brain just ticks this as “this is just a thing now, don’t think about it much man”. It’s not a just a desensitization to me, I’m mad that it’s “normalized” to me. These kids, teachers, and staff should never EVER have to even think about this sort of thing. School is hard enough without the looming threat of real mortal death.

underemployed English or philosophy majors and generally the sort of people that probably wouldn’t be out there building railways if Patreon didn’t exist

I wish English/Literature/Philosophy types had more options. It kinda sucks that outside of academia teaching those things there doesn’t seems to be a good venue for them to make some decent income.

America journalist (and America as a whole to be honest) wants Sinophobia to be cool again so bad. In the same way American media are overtly okay with Russophobia (which is of course not okay cause -phobia isn’t cool), I think the media wants to be a Sinophobia to okay too.

It’s fucked up to think we think ourselves so great that anytime anyone else does anything they are either cheating or doing some sort of evil [insert some vile trope about some other group here].

Without sounds utterly heartless and mean, this is why I hate “charity”. I hate when barons, pharaohs, kings, and merchant princes, ask me to donate to a charity. It really always makes me think “how about YOU donate dude?”, and dude can be a person or a MEGACORP. I hate when I got to a store buy my goods and they ask “Would you like to donate to XYZ?” and I just think, why are poor people asking other poor people to donate to a charity on behalf of a MEGACORP? It just feels so wrong to me. I tend not to do so. I’ll donate to a “gofundme” or a something I know that organizers are really doing some good work for those that really need, but I always feel like so many “XYZ research fund” or “ABC foundation” tend to feel more organizations to make money and do charity on the side.

I think altruism is cool and good in my book. It’s one of humanities greatest strength. Caring for others purely out of a desire to do good rules and I think that’s one of the beauties of anarchism as a mindset. Being kind and building up others and support your fellow human is “bussin fr”, but I hate how non-profit NGO charity industry gets in the way of altruism intentionally.

Nael is wants the global working class to break their cage. Nael is a six-year-old Marxist.

If you die at work the underworld has to give a special pass. You should get to go to the good place regardless. Dieing at work must suck

I want to believe that kid is the sixth Jan. The only successful genetically modified child to live from the cloning vats.

The bespoke scythe guy > the broke knife guy.

This is deeply upsetting and a low for the US (in)justice system even for them.
