Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

  • I miss the days when the world only fell apart with soul-crushing disasters like, once every two months.

    That's 8x better, or something, idk, I'm not good with math.

  • 'Whites-only' community banning Black, Jewish and gay people set up in Arkansas

  • Fucking insane. I wish I could say "Of course it's Arkansas", but I'd suspect this of almost any rural area anymore.

  • MP Diane Abbott has said it "is obvious this Labour leadership wants me out" after the party suspended her for a second time over comments she made about racism.

    Labour has launched an investigation into Abbott's defence of a 2023 letter to a newspaper in which she said people of colour experienced racism "all their lives", which was different from the "prejudice" experienced by Jewish people, Irish people and Travellers.

    She apologised for those remarks at the time following criticism from Jewish and Traveller groups and was readmitted to the party after a lengthy suspension.

    Asked by the BBC's James Naughtie if she looked back on the whole incident with regret, she said: "No, not at all."

    In a brief statement issued to BBC Newsnight, Abbott said: "My comments in the interview with James Naughtie were factually correct, as any fair-minded person would accept."

  • Houthis threaten to escalate attacks on ships linked to companies dealing with Israel

  • They've already been attacking ships at random - what's expanding the excuse a little more?

  • Not strictly speaking - market economies, even under predominantly capitalist systems, still include a large number of workers' coops and sole-proprietor firms. Markets predate capitalism, and markets will likely post-date it too.

    Capitalism is in reference to systems of limited-liability stock corporations which allow extremely fluid (and divided) ownership of capital by an investor class.

    1. Coffee as a luxury is uh, pretty fucking far. Do you know how cheap store-brand coffee is? The only way you're dropping below that for the price of drinking is literal tap water - which, even in places where it's safe, often has a distinct taste (source: grew up in a town where the tap water tasted of iron - city said it was fine, but it instilled a reluctance to drink from the tap).
    2. Lacking goods and services regarded as ordinary is a form of suffering - running water in a home is not a necessity either, but most would regard being without it as a form of suffering. Running water is a luxury - and one which we can easily provide.
    3. Disabled folk are often receiving benefits on the basis of being disabled, ie that they cannot reasonably and consistently earn more than that in their lifetime. If your view is that disabled folk should lack luxuries entirely because they dared to be born disabled, that's fucked up.

  • Thank you! It does genuinely brighten my day to hear these comments

  • Hope you’re doing alright!

    Mostly I am. It's just a underlying current in my thoughts that's hard to shake. It doesn't rule my life or anything, it just... comes by intermittently.

  • Thank you. Unironically it's one of the main reasons I post - I like to give people a little entertainment (the other reason being that I want the Fediverse to survive and thrive, and it needs activity for that).

    I'm always happy to see you upvote and comment, by the way! Stay safe!

  • Well, I'd certainly ask for 40k a month, but I've yet to receive it XD

  • It's honestly something I still struggle with. Issues of capitalism aside, I, from an objective standpoint, consume far more resources and services than I produce due to my disabilities. It often feels like I deserve less than I have, and I don't have a lot.

    It's one of those confusing points in-between feeling blessed and feeling like a burden.

  • I feel the need to point out that disdain for the disabled long predates capitalism.

  • It do be like that some days

  • I think the phrasing you're looking for is "SMITE ME, O MIGHTY SMITER!"

  • Yeah. Yeah, it is.

  • Miserable summer this year

    Jump

  • I appreciate the advice, but I don't have that kind of money on hand. Or the willingness, for that matter, to take any of this to court. I get stress ulcers enough just dealing with day-to-day life. At this point, I'll be content to just get out of here.

    And like I said, it's not uninhabitable. Place is practically a basement, so it's only on the most miserable days that the heat seeps in enough that I mourn I can't fit myself in the fridge, lmao.
