I recently started working as a mail carrier and it ticks a lot of those same boxes except I'm providing a valuable service to the community instead of doing imperialism. unfortunately it doesn't pay as well as the military, but you can make decent money with good benefits if you stick it out for a while, and it's a union job so it's almost impossible to get fired after probation. plus you're not risking your life so some baby-killing weapons manufacturer CEO can buy another yacht
maybe he could also look into becoming a firefighter? that's a lot harder I'm sure but it's something to be proud of
His niece confirmed that he was the sole provider for his family and had been sending earnings to his wife and daughter in Mexico
RIP Jaime Alanis. I've actually bought weed from the company he worked so I've probably benefited from his labor. he and his family deserved so much better
cannabis growers are braver than every troop and fascist cowardly ICE agent combined
yeah the phrase "we don't talk enough about" is often used in an intentionally hyperbolic or sarcastic way. probably this person was just stressing out about finding a costume at the last minute and made a lighthearted remark blaming their lack of foresight on their ADHD. I'd give it a 0.1% chance that they were actually suggesting there should be a serious discussion about this topic
I think the original tweet was just a lighthearted self-deprecating joke and the retweeter took it way too seriously. it seems the meme is saying that this Very Online interaction has motivated them to touch grass, but I find it ironic because hanging a tweet on your wall is pretty antithetical to touching grass imo
they released two versions but the "enhanced" one was literally just brightened and sharpened, which is totally pointless and probably contains even less detail than the original because the highlights get blown out and the artifacts become exaggerated. I'm honestly surprised they didn't do some AI "enhancements" (which would have been even dumber of course)
but yeah it seems they're saying even the "raw" version was modified here
I was born in a world without ICE, just like everyone over the age of 22. somehow the U.S. survived for 227 years without it, but these demons act like society would crumble if ICE was abolished. "moderate wing of fascism" is an understatement, there's nothing moderate about these ghouls
the right wing literally worships Epstein's former best friend, the government official, celebrity, and business leader Donald J. Trump, as a god
it's objectively a fact that Epstein was connected to wealthy, powerful, famous people. the FBI itself has come out and said this - before it was taken over by one of those people. by suggesting that discussing this fact is akin to right-wing conspiracies like QAnon, axios is literally covering for pedophiles. is their CEO in the black book too?
I 100% believe that pizzagate/QAnon was a psyop to make the public forever associate all discussion of wealthy pedophile rings with whacked-out conspiracy theories. now talking about objectively true, well-documented facts makes you sound crazy to the average low-information liberal
I agree that everyone who's able should contribute to society, and that's why I propose sending all CEOs, investment bankers and venture capitalists into forced labor camps
could have gone the rest of my life without knowing that Charlie Kirk walks around all day with a shitty doodoo ass, scratches said shitty doodoo ass with his bare hands and then doesn't wash the shitty doodoo from the hands that he scratched his shitty doodoo ass with
and drank the "technology will make everything better bro trust me" kool-aid
ugh same. got caught up in the ridiculous tech-optimism of the early-to-mid 2010s. I thought self-driving cars and VR were the frickin' future. it's hard to imagine now but there was so little public criticism of big tech back then
watching the bombs drop in Baghdad at age 10 was probably my first "are we the baddies" moment. after that I could trace my political development through the punk bands I listened to as a teen. when I liked Green Day I was anti-Bush but not really a leftist, my first exposure to anti-capitalism came from listening to Refused, and then getting into more anarcho-punk bands made me hate cops and the US military but still had "communism bad" brainworms. by my early 20s I had slipped back into being more of a radlib/socdem (Bernie 2016) and like most of you gradually became more of a socialist/communist from there
his band Black Sabbath were early pioneers of heavy metal. arguably the most important group in the creation of that genre
