  • Not great

    I mostly voted at all in order to avoid people I know looking me up and giving me shit for non voting, but voted 3rd party, basically camouflage.

    But now it has me forced to pretend to be recently upset in my work and family social circles. I have to fake shock and disbelief about trump winning, despite me feeling nothing but more of the same dread I’ve been feeling for a while and would have continued to feel regardless of the results.

    Silver lining I guess is at least I’m not so isolated in feeling like we are fucked now. Everyone suddenly agrees that we are totally fucked, even though their not realizing it until now is stupid.













  • So much stuff like that is just priced right out of the range any reasonable person would buy it. I feel like things that were very high quality and used to cost like 2x, 2.5x what the “cheap” versions cost, these days cost as much as 16x the price of the cheaper options, with some going way beyond that.

    Just pure inflated price. I try not to take it personally, its just mindless undirected greed, but it really feels intentionally directed at the working class to keep us from having the same “stuff” as the wealthy idiots overpaying for everything





  • “Individualism” is one of the cursed internet words which will have a different meaning for every person who uses it. Discussions about it tell you more about the community having the discussion than anything about the word. And it can cause arguments when interpretations differ within a single discussion.

    The contrast you see between opinions about the word is just a reflection of the general contrast between liberals and leftists.
