With depression, I’ll take every win I can get.

If that is just a small reprieve from the existential dread of a potential Trump win…?

Or the anxiety over needing to vote today, dealing with the crowds, getting my ballot cast, even with the rest of the shit storm on the horizon…

I’ll still take what I can get for now.

I’ll be there when I’m called upon but know that some of us are already fighting our own battles.

Please take me to Isengard, with the hobbits…

My part in this battle is done, the war is far from over.

This one is over for me at least, and for now that’s enough, but tomorrow is another day.

After Trumps assassination attempt, allowing you to buy as many guns and as much ammo is as you want is not a certainty.

Capitalism has destroyed the middle class and absorbed all of the wealth…

No one has disposable income to upgrade to a phone that has no major feature changes over the one that came out over 5 years ago.

Until workers are seen as assets rather than expenditures, the enshittification of all facets of life under capitalism will continue to get worse.

Yeah, it’s an hour walk one way to that store…

Where I live owning a car is a requirement :(

I live in rural Oklahoma…

Here are my walking distances: * To the nearest convenience store: 4.667km * To the nearest chain supermarket: 24.140km * To the bus stop: 27.358km * To the nearest park: 321.869m * To the nearest *big* supermarket: 33.7962km * To the nearest library: 32.1869km * To the nearest train station: 70.8111km

Yeah, there’s way to much money being made by private prisons to decriminalize, and way to much money lost if Pharma can’t monopolize.

The only reason the schedule 1 drug list includes marijuana is because people of color and counter culture members against the Vietnam war were the primary users. It was in Nixons best interests to make pot and psychedelics illegal because it was making people realize war was bullshit.

I get what you mean. I am 100% behind any humans right to be whoever they want to identify as. I am also not naive to the fact that hormones do alter muscle density and development.

I am not an expert, but I do have critical thinking skills.

That being said, I feel like if a trans person wants to participate in sports with cis gender of the same sex, maybe they need to have their hormones monitored to be in line with the average of that gender for a decent period of time so they don’t have hormone based advantages?

If anyone has a better suggestion, please by all means, let me know. That idea is the best one I could personally come up with while defending the trans community from a co-worker that leans very far right and brings up pedos claiming being trans to go to opposite gender bathrooms and trans people having unfair advantage in sports after some body builder claimed to be trans and got world records even tho it was obvious that person was doing it specifically to get the unfair advantage…

What time period did you work for free while also working shitty jobs for rent?

Lots of people are working two full time jobs to barely survive…

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you have to look around and understand that a 1 bedroom apartment can easily be one full time jobs worth of salary to rent if you’re a GenZ, then your second full time job is utilies and food… And depending on where they live, that’s WITH a roommate.

Once you’ve worked 16 hours a day, plus commute time, unpaid lunches…you basically only have time to sleep.

Where in that schedule do you propose someone donate their time working for free?

Start making up job experience on your resume, then say it’s not OK to contact your previous employer.

It’s not using a “frickin laser beam” to blow up the world, but a lie to improve your chances of getting a job, justified in my opinion.

Even if you get caught for lying after the fact, now you DO have “previous job experience” that you would not like new employers to contact…
