Please feel free to shoot me a message on Matrix. I'm lonely so I will probably respond to anyone lol

  • I love that for the girlies who rock that, but I just got a tucking clip and GOD I didn't realize how much I would love having a camel toe

  • ... who's saying contact/combat sports are bad?

    If I met a guy who plays sports I'd be thrilled. They're a great way to stay healthy and socialize. (Except golf - fuck golf)

  • Oh, sure. The system is working as intended. Although Trump sure is being a lot more obvious about it

  • I downloaded full spectrum resistance and I'll be reading it over the next few days. Thanks for letting me know about it!

    I don't really know much about unions but I'll look into them

  • There's a lot of us and we're angry at what you're doing. If you don't listen, we'll start using force.

    Yeah, I get that protests/rallies are more a show of solidarity than actual action. That's why I asked the question! I'll definitely be sniffing around to see what the unions are up to, although US unions are pretty toothless at the moment :(

  • Real talk for a sec - what can US citizens be doing right now to support Venezuela and hamper Trump's power grabs?

    Obviously people are already protesting - I'm planning on going to one tomorrow - but in the face of something this big a protest just doesn't seem like enough.

  • Also how tf is Bow not in the bi column??? Bow/Glimmer is literally canon I shrjdhfjejrbrjrj

    This is Bow erasure :(

    (Also thank you for the meme, comrade, much appreciated)

  • probably something in the same vein as pemmican or trail mix?

  • Wow. greenwashing at its finest.

    "offsetting" - whether for emissions or meat - is both usually a scam and inherently less effective than just abstaining from the harmful behavior.

    If you're going to use these offsets, you should only use them for things you genuinely can't control, not as an excuse to keep consuming.

  • The native people of Palestine are more Semitic than the European colonizers who settled in what we currently call Israel. I don't care what religion you are or what your holy book says, you don't just get to take people's homes.

    After the Holocaust, should the Jews have gotten their own state? Perhaps, but in that case it should have come out of Germany. That would have been much more fair, and more fitting with the fact that that's where they already lived.

    Obviously we don't have a time machine, and we are left to deal with the present as it is, but yeah. Zionism is both fascism and religious supremacy and it has no place in the modern world.

  • If it was truly a democratic proces then we wouldn't even be able to have this conversation, because Adams would have been removed from office as soon as he was found to be corrupt. (Which is a prime example of how the "rules" only apply to the poor - why should we follow them blindly when those in power don't!?) But the system isn't working and hasn't been for decades (If indeed it ever did) and to cling to it now as though the government will save us is foolish.

    I care about the rules, this whole conversation started because I said I didn't like the idea of blanket rescinding of executive orders. It sets a bad precedent. But we can't cling to "the Rules" as though they are a self-enforcing mandate from some deity.

    There are no gods here to save us. Politicians will not save us. The system will not save us.

    WE will save us.

    We will use the system and the rules when we can and abandon it where we must. But no matter what, we must not put blind faith in anyone or anything, because power corrupts and those in power cannot truly represent our interests because they are not one of us. And that distrust must always also extend to the rules they have written and force us to follow at gunpoint, because they add exceptions for themselves and catch-22s for us.

    Of course I don't want one mayor deciding things. But I also sure as entropy don't want him sitting on his hands because of some stupid rule like the filibuster or whatever when he has a mandate from the people to represent their interests.

    I'm sure he'll turn out just as spineless as any other politician, but let's not handcuff him just yet. He might just prove us wrong.

  • You assume those processes were ever democratic to begin with. The truth is that they've been rigged against the common people since they were first written.

    I'm all for following the rules, but we can't ever put the rules before people's lives and wellbeing. If the law is unjust, you have a duty to disobey it. This includes legislative gridlock engineered to stifle progress and thwart the will of the people.

  • In theory I 100% agree. But right now our legislatures are typically in gridlock and executive orders are the only way things get done.

  • You'd be surprised how many small publications are owned, controlled, or at least heavily influenced by the wealthy.

  • Sometimes, yes. Depends on the tactic - obviously we shouldn't be kidnapping people based on their skin color - but yeah, we can't afford to be too cautious right now. The very notion of democracy sits on a knife's edge.

  • It feels good to see a politician who actually shows attention to detail and cares about the people they're supposed to represent. That's definitely not the norm.
