I agree.

Also when we’re all being fucked over no one has a right to say how we (in general) should be protesting. People get to show their anger in whatever way they want. It’s like people asking for civility so they don’t have to deal with uncomfortable messages. Um fuck no. NSFW all the way if that’s what one decides.

Thanks for agitating

this is why I believe capitalism is unsustainable.

when I talk about automation and labor, no one seems to get it. Hey, if your job gets automated, you get fired. Have you even considered that you could do less labor for the same pay because your work got automated? they just look at me like my head's been cut off.

This is a really good source of information by county:

One thing that people forget is that minimum wage is a factor as well. In texas a living wage is $14 and living wage of $25 in california. so you’d think you’d have a better cost of living in texas. However if you compare the minimum wage texas is $7.25 and california is $15.50.

For the amount you work, california is a better deal. However that makes it harder for people to come move to california obviously.

Tl;dr attachment styles are definitely a thing however it’s not set in stone. You can start doing things like going to therapy, medication, self-reflect to identify where you can do better.

I’m disorganized - been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder and cPTSD. I have the usual depression and anxiety. Just last year I found out the true root of the problem is undiagnosed ADHD and my whole family probably has it.

When I started dating my now husband I did horrible things to him. I emotionally abused him. I would get angry for reasons I wouldn’t tell him. Just take off and walk around the city and feel good that he was looking for me.

It’s only from the grace of the spaghetti monster that he didn’t give up on me. In 2008 I started to go to therapy on and off and our relationship got better. it was finally in 2018 that i decided to seek real help. Now I am on a cocktail of meds, happy, and alive.

My husband is the MVP of our relationship! We’ve been together 23 years and married for 17 of them. :)

You can change, but only if you want it.

Well the whole point is that no one person “owns” this to push an agenda to the entire fediverse. Each server is its own and connected by this software. It’s like Reddit broken into 1000000 pieces and held together by this software. If you want to ban something within your server you are free to do so. Is a server fucking toxic? Then you don’t connect.

Star Trek has their own server up and running already and it’s Startrek.website. It isn’t connected so if they decide that haters should be banned, it will just be locally.

I will not fight for Starfleet, but I will defend its ideals. Pacifism is not pacivity. It’s the active protection of all living things in the natural universe.

i was a right libertarian at one time.

The more research i did, right libertarianism just didn’t sit well with me. I couldn’t reconcile their politics because i have empathy. I wish i was lying. These are selfish fucks who twisted the word to fit their needs.

Hi from another person that feels similar (joins discord server, never engages) you’re not alone

Warehouse 13

So what i am hearing is that if libs read that stuff it’s unamerican but if they are reading it they are using it as a source book of authoritarianism of sorts.

There is actually a real definition to it. For example one day I realized that black people live in a world different than mine.

It woke me up to the realities of black existence

That’s why it’s “woke”.

When i had my kid and i read a bunch of stuff on parenting, i also came across those articles where black families needed to talk to their sons about police. It never occurred to me that people would need to so that.

Thanks!

When we were living in the high desert of california our friend would meet up at mcDs to let our kids play together. we were minding our own fucking business when a white stranger who asked our white friend if he was “okay”. As in was he ok with hanging out with us asians. This was before covid, only 70miles out of DTLA.

We don’t live there anymore thank god. Many are not fortunate enough to move away from this kind of hostile environment. How in the fuck can you say that for them to get a gun to defend themselves is irrational and insane?

Don’t forget that we have right of center (democrats), right (republicans) and left of center (bernie sanders).

Democrats are still rich and love the lobby money.

Clintons have invested in privatizing prisons for example.

It’s not just the republicans that take advantage of the single ideology vote.

I have iOS. I use minimalist. I bought the lifetime access for the widget. I can also add whatever on a list without opening the app. It’s great.

I also used finch. It worked very well.

then you’ll be like cool. Now i get to be lazy AND look professional at the same time. 👍👍👍👍

Cast iron

We have one that belonged to my grandma in law.

We also bought 3 field cast iron pans for our kids to take when they move out. We rotate these every few months to season.

Fucking algorithm :/
