I think the moral of the story is blame Nestle Match Group

This is why I prefer pets, and babysitting kiddos - they tell me exactly what they need/want and when they want it 😆

Retaliation from the neoliberals. Getting in their scumfuckery before January was expected but still frustrating.

This little nazi chihuahua bitch has been playing trump like a fiddle for the past two years.

Waves of good news putting a balm on my burned heart today 🥰 did not have this on my bingo card but that’s an awesome win!

Within two weeks those two are bonded and kitty is no longer your kitty, but the pup’s.

As long as straight, white, wealthy Protestant men aren’t the victims. They see suffering while poor to be their own fault, and original sin fallacy means women must also endure because god has to punish them for being born female. It’s honestly kind of terrifying to see.

It’s terrible for him to be breathing the world’s limited supply of oxygen

“Law and Order” means “legally enslave anyone I don’t like”

Any idea what program that is? That’s pretty cool to be honest

There’s an assumption all people from/under current and former world powers are hive minds- GB, China, US, Russia, etc.

My agnostic ass is praying to everything this is satire

The secret is saying it four times

Ah yes who needs ethics

Roosevelt energy. Forward and unafraid + progressive pretty clearly wins in the US, historically. Seeing it again a century-ish later isn’t surprising but it does give a tiny spark of hope.

Yeah it’s ignoring the cultural and definitional heuristics inherent in language, and provides an almost circular argument. “It is because of the way it is and that’s just how it is.”

“They’re behaving in a frustratingly willfully ignorant and dangerously selfish way to the point I can’t distinguish it from malice” is not something I can concisely say half a dozen times on my commute to and from work. (Examples include: braking to an almost dead stop in the middle lane on an open highway, refusing to use their blinkers multiple times in a row, nearly cutting off the front of my vehicle while doing so even though I’m willing to give them space, etc.) I’m also not assuming everyone is “stupid” either; in my example my spirits are lifted when other drivers obey traffic laws and the surrounding social contract.

We also can’t fucking mind-read so it’s not unrealistic to put a temporary mental marker on whether or not someone is worth spending more emotional and mental effort around. The use of shortened language to describe a situation is not the same as dismissing someone or something wholesale and to assert a wholesale assumption on others for a perceived behavior is directly contradictory to the author’s argument.

The use of Minneapolis as an example is definitely good for proving it can be done in the U.S. How we manage to do this on a national scale remains to be seen but local/state-by-state strength is possible, at least.

Gotta slowly reverse boil the frog - these are definitely great first steps and will hopefully warm the public up to demilitarizing, then defanging, then defunding/abolishing the police state.

If I could have one wish it would be decent public transit in this shithole I’m stuck in :’)

An affordable used electric/hybrid would be nice if I can’t have that though

Krita’s pretty close, but unfortunately not quite as close as the program our friend Wilber represents :’)
