We don’t let individuals own nuclear weapons. We shouldn’t allow individuals to wield financial weapons.

Right they hate these straw people. I mean, I;m not going to say my own cognitive projection of “conservative” is 100% accurate, but at least my nightmare scenarios are about actual bad things happening, and not like conservative nightmares of genetically inferior people getting to enjoy the gifts of civilization.

So… huh, so what’s the alternative then? I guess some other flavour of linux?

What?? I was not. I thought it was compatible, or like a fork idk… Guess I’ve got some reading to do.

I’m checking out Graphene OS next week and pretty pumped about it. This Google ratfucking has been just the push I need to get off Android.

And obviously I haven’t stopped telling people around me haha

I’m a recovering indoor shoe wearer, so socks are like my harm reduction. But I’m trying to wear them (and shoes) less in the house, because I believe it’s better in the long term for your feet and back muscles. At least it feels like more work to me, and so it’s probably good for me.

Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.

I just use startpage

I got pretty confused with the shifts schedule. It was just a printed sheet on the wall and changed frequently. Really the main reason is someone else shared my same initials, and I just consistently showed up to the wrong shifts. Probably would have figured out a system eventually, but got canned before that happened.

Me when I got a job working counter at train station (I got fired because I cannot figure out fulltime shifts)

Do people not even Emmet anymore?? Tsk…

I’m sure there are all kinds of different cases, but let me just say that I didn’t have to hustle nearly this hard just to get by in w 2005. It was fine that I was “absent minded” but now it’s like everyone’s got to be full-on all the time.

Like wtf happened?? Things used to be chill, now we’re fighting over the meagrest scraps.

Real? This is news to me!

This comes up a lot, and the comments for these posts always get mired in the complexities of for whom and forwhence and forwhicontext this is good advice.

Basically, there are people for whom this is really fire advice (like people who are unnecessarily repressing quirky aspects of their otherwise lovely personalities), and people for whom this is really bad advice (like people who need to stay hidden for safety, or jerks).

Broad, overlapping categories with many dimensions. Not really something you can wrap up in a prescriptive axiom.

That all said, the thesis of the OP holds up. It may be really hard for some people to find someone who likes them for who they are, and there are people who really should change, but it’s still true that you won’t find many people who like you for you if you don’t actually show them who you are.

Sounds like the perfect way to meet with yourself though

Gonna make it illegal to look up next?

Yeah now it’s like let’s watch how exactly rich people are trying to make the future suck for me and it doesn’t even work, and even if it did it wouldn’t make our lives any better

Spotify must die

I know cops are scary, but white people need to realise their power in a situation like this. Being white gives you like a +80% modifier in interactions with the police. Even just getting in the space and being a clueless white dude asking questions spreads that modifier to allies in proximity, including those being arrested.

By getting involved you raise the expectation of civility, because our fucking society is racist.

It also makes 0 sense while still sounding racist, so definitely trumpian
