I vaguely remember someone here had an anecdote of responding with “Oh, so the people from the hard times of 1918 Russia were strong men?” and got left on read. (it is a silly method of historical analysis, but if it at least shuts that sort of person up)
I wonder about these sorts of things on stuff as minor as local public transport, and I feel like the security guards are not earning their money back (so to speak).
(also, public transport should entirely be paid with land taxes)
Gonna be a rough few months. Also summer, I’m dreading the continual mid-40s (celsius).
I’m sorry! sobs
What did they say?
I used to just never eat at school. I was always kinda jealous of kids whose parents gave them money for lunch or did packed lunches
“Don’t delete this, might need it later - JP”
I ain’t doing great.
My mum is at the stage of increasing heart rate, sinking blood pressure, both clots and excessive bleeding stage of dying. We thought she was going to die 4 days ago, but she responded well to antibiotics. She’s stopped responded to antibiotics, but she’s not in as much pain as she was last Sunday.
While this is happening, I’m at my sisters place to be closer and help out with the pets and kids. But I don’t know where anything is or the rhythm of the household so I keep feeling like I’m getting in the way.
I think I’m going to get evicted in December, triggering another round of destroying half of everything I own because there’s not enough time/money to move everything and I tend to downsize.
I feel like I’m losing my job. I’ve been given “bereavement leave” but I’m a casual so it just means I’m not getting paid.
Recently because I’ve suddenly got a full time (hours, not legally) job, I haven’t had enough time to complete many of my projects or even really feed myself properly. Shops are too far away and apparently I will actually starve myself if I can’t satisfy a craving. I apparently want kfc, I have perfectly edible leftovers in the fridge, I can’t bring myself to eat them. This gets worse as other aspects of my life get worse.
I am finding I cannot make decisions about anything. The longer term decisions are even worse, but getting up and going to the bathroom has to get to a painful point before I will do it, let alone meal planning. If someone yells at me to do stuff I will sometimes do it, but there is no juice left for “initiative”
This thread feels like someone half remembering playing technomancers in shadowrun.
Aaah another one (sorry, have had to cook a lot of group meals and am fairly happy to accommodate a lot of dietary stuff, but almost everything I cook starts with sauteeing a bunch of onion, garlic, and ginger) (best friend of a few years did not like onions, except when she didn’t know about them in, like, burger patties, we just stopped eating together pretty rapidly)
Most libertarians I’ve met are also nationalists. Especially ones that are anywhere near their local party. They tend to also be pretty extreme nationalists, believing all the war hype unconditionally.
Screencap for historical records
I despair at the people who see that and take from it “the IPCC is therefore always lying, doesn’t know anything, and we should burn more fossil fuels”
Oh good, we can cancel a submarine and use that money to build high density housing
Does that mean you’re living in hotels or??
Go on
the weaponization of the law to serve a political agenda.
I… What would law be if it not for this?
Israel would never influence the American political landscape
This economic policy is certainly very good at making a country’s assets for sale and for certain people to flee with cartoon bags of money to the US. >.>
We had a month of free transit here and everyone said the results were very positive (its already mostly paid for by taxes anyway), so… idk, I’m guessing neolib Labor will ignore it and carry on. We have free transit on Sundays now
