One person has already made a massive difference, and the ruling class is scared. What if we had 100 Luigi’s? How about a million? How about 100 million? Luigi is inspiring people. Maybe he was the first snowball of an avalanche.

What’s super ironic to me is that taxing them actually makes them safer because if they pay their fair share people wouldn’t want to murder them as much as they do now.

Sure, as long as you also remove ChatGPT.

Two things can be true at once. Telling an American they aren’t allowed to criticize any government in existence because their own is also bad is asinine.

If you want something durable it’s best to go with two piece poles rather than three pieces. When poles bend or break it’s always on the bottom piece because it’s the thinnest.

Unfortunately two piece poles can be hard to find. I’ve been considering getting some MSR poles because it’s a reputable brand and they have a two piece option. I just wish they offered a model with cork handles because I’ve gotten used to cork and will miss it.

These are intended for snowshoeing, which makes sense considering the only time I’ve bent a pole it was while snowshoeing. But of course they can be used anywhere and come with regular mud baskets. If you’re looking for maximum durability, these are a good option.

Minnesota was already on his list, and I imagine you’re right. I wonder how they’ll spin these murders, considering it’s their people pulling the triggers. I wouldn’t be surprised if the police uniforms the shooters used were given to them by actual cops. Minnesota has a long history of corrupt law enforcement.

That’s just… insane. It seems like having a strong sense of empathy is such a weakness these days. I wouldn’t have celebrated the murder of Republican congresspeople, nor would I have thought that your townspeople would celebrate this. Well meaning people just aren’t equipped to handle what’s happening, but I imagine our lizard brains will catch us up quickly, hence the adrenaline.

Be careful.

Yep. I got an adrenaline rush when I read this and it hasn’t quite dissipated yet. My heart rate is still elevated, and I have the distinct feeling that my nervous system is expecting a civil war, even if my brain isn’t quite there yet.

Done. My bad!

There’s a heat wave this weekend near Seattle where I live. Saturday and Sunday have highs around 88 and Monday is like 85. June has a reputation here for being cold and rainy. There’s not a single drop of rain in the forecast this upcoming week or the one after.

If this summer is anything like the last two, we won’t get a single drop until October.

I can handle a lot of things. Even the fall of democracy in the USA. Because those horrible things are tangible and solvable. We can always have a revolution. That will suck, but it’s doable.

Climate change has me in a funk that just won’t quit. Nothing makes me want to give up more than this. This awful hot summer will be the coolest summer for the rest of my life. I can’t deal with something this hopeless.

You’ll have a few minutes to admire their cute little ears as they eat you while you’re still alive. Silver lining!

This is something that needs to be taught in public education. Capitalism has a way of destroying our self esteem and the cycle needs to be broken. It’s so frustrating that I can understand this but need to be constantly reminded of this by a frog.

It’s called negativity bias. It’s an evolved trait passed down from our ancestors. Only the people with anxiety who devoted a lot of conscious thought to unpleasant possibilities lived long enough to reproduce, passing on those tendencies.

I’m not sure if ADHD has anything to do with it, but it’s possible that there’s even more focus on negativity as a result.

This is a very inefficient method of telling everyone that you don’t know how to camp for shit.

The Democrats in charge benefit from the status quo. It’s that simple. They would prefer to let Republicans win elections if the only other option is letting a pro worker candidate win.

It’s refreshing that this article used the phrase “half a million” instead of the way the American protests have been framed as “tens of thousands” when they know damn well that it was millions.

I hope we get more Palestine focused protests!

I’ve done some reading about CPTSD and it’s… surreal to read about something that so perfectly explains my situation. Autism itself isn’t a disability, but rather it’s CPTSD that does the disabling.

I’ll have to check out those videos. I appreciate the suggestion.

While Cyberpunk is indeed not a happy game I still greatly appreciate the maturity, the heavy themes, and the critiques of American society and capitalism. Even the romances are mature and well written.
