what crisis? i never see any unhoused folk in my cute little gated community

in the oppressive west, i paid for my school meals with my fingerprint. since i was born poor, i often didn’t eat

i didn’t really know this was an lgbt thing, i thought it was just a tumblr thing (synonyms synonyms). not quite knowing the difference always makes sending posts to my mates a fun lottery

well yeah, because the other option is real life women/lgbt people/POC/whatever being harassed. i’d much rather some photos get “stolen” by AI than start getting stalked by 4chan for being too visibly gay

Drowning out speakers and disrupting exercises in politics, regardless of its cause or the target, is wrong on principle.

if you think this is ~the end of democracy~ or some shit the only wrong move is the one that loses. fucking liberals

happy ding dong the witch is dead day lads

having just gotten into a similar situation as my first ever job, i feel exactly like . like, your exact situation is Waiting for me

but i think i’ve missed my window to apply for a phd this year, partially because of executive disfunction and a sudden funding issue, but partially because i was too busy trying to get/keep the bullshit job that i got explicitly to tide me over until my phd starts TO FUCKIGN WRITE MY PHD SHIT

don’t worry, as a scientist i’m also intimidated by hexbear. i can tell you all about deep space hydrogen distribution and its implications about dark matter, but the level of care and understanding that people here have about history/economics/current events is insane - i couldn’t imagine being up to date and articulate enough to have written all those news megas for instance

ngl i am not the most familiar with american media and for a moment i thought this was meant to be a transition timeline lmao

he blames me for not looking after my daughter

kill him

drinking in order to be able to speak to people

solidarity there comrade. i hate that i black out so easily, because the times i have drank at house parties and such are the only times in my life that i remember being socially functional and normal-adjacent, or enjoying being around acquaintances/strangers/friends of friends.

god i wish i could do that shit without writing off the next day

no no no, you see, if you ask a woman anything like that to their face, they’ll lie to you because of the universal Woman Conspiracy that specifically exists to fuck with you. like, this isn’t even some incel shit, theres a whole completely accepted genre of boomer joke about “ugh why won’t your wife tell you her problems/how she feels (don’t worry, its just Feeeemale Disease)” ((protip: she almost certainly has, you just didn’t like what she said))

but yeah no you can’t ask women anything because of the Women Illuminati we’re all in, sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the subway: we need to stop fare evasion otherwise we’ll run out of money and die

also the subway: this shit

in theory, yes. in practice, its incredibly variable. i don’t think they get the same insane power trip that cops go on, they’re often just people who needed a job and won’t give you trouble if they can avoid it, whereas cops become cops for a reason. hell, since we’re the last two people out of the building, the security guy at my job literally encourages me to steal from work and he does the same. they can be chill, they want to slack off just as much as any other worker.

if you’re being offered a position or something comrade, don’t feel bad. take it. just be cool about it.

the “violence is justified if you are oppressed” rabbit hole

fucking WHAT? “actually the slaves/indigenous/haitians/etc should have just laid down and died uwu”

THE HUMBER BEING COUNTED AS PART OF YORKSHIRE LETS GOOOOO FUCK THE SOUTH

being in school: dealing with immature jerks

being an adult: dealing with immature jerks BUT now if they hit you its an actual crime

i know what i prefer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Steven Bonnell: No, no, I’m just saying that there were two tricks-

Norman Finkelstein: You said nothing, as you always do.

Benny Morris: No, you don’t know Israeli pilots-

Norman Finkelstein: I know, thank God.

FUCKING GET EM NORM the complete open lack of respect he has for destiny especially is phenomenal. he really has gone full joker huh

comrade i’m sorry you had to be exposed to this fucking cognitohazard but also thank you for exposing yourself to it so i don’t have to watch/read the whole thing

as a dumbass, recent graduate, and person who just started programming for a finance company as my first job - how/why are finance companies immune to the crash? it makes sense that they must be, because we do nothing and spend too much and honestly this company (on my level at least) should be fucking hemoraging money. its the most David Graeber bullshit jobs thing possible and yet we’re actively hiring, its wild
