I’m fine with an easy out.

I don’t need them to think about their actions. I don’t need them to stew and marinate in their guilt. I certainly don’t need them to have avenues to still exert influence.

They need to die, anything else is a distraction.

1. Their buddies own the prisons
2. Every day spent in prison cost money tax payer dollars fund
3. Them breathing is a waste of oxygen

I saw my naivete during the George Floyd protests when state police came to my city with blacked out badges and punisher masks.

They are HEAVILY armed.

It’s a nice sentiment for garden tools but you need actual firearms. Regrettably, I’ve yet to go to a major protest since trump has been in office. Somewhat a relief since we know now they are using footage to put protesters in terroist databases. If you aren’t going to protests even partially in black bloc you are ill prepared. If you aren’t arming yourself you are ill equipped.

I hope this ends, yet I have zero faith in peaceful protests to stop a fascist regime. I’m not saying don’t protest, I am explicitly saying that force must be met in kind. When winter ends I anticipate things escalating and heating up a lot more.

Anything less than death is far too little for these sick fucks.

Swift and quickly, this needs to end and be left in the past.

I disagree. Purely for the fact that some of the most powerful and influential people on this planet are engaged with a global child sex trafficking ring and are wholly committing to maintaining it. Their connections run the legal systems they would be tried in. If convicted and jailed, their connections also run the prison systems.

There is no salvaging this situation with these people. They are willing to rape, torture, and murder those they deem are disposable and their opposition. You can’t pose that we live in a just society with them still living. Ideally, maybe, gen-pop like everyone else. But we know better, we clearly see some of them CURRENTLY getting preferential treatment while they are supposed to be in a maximum security prison.

My morals are intact and uncompromised. Rather than asking what is gained from their deaths; what is lost with them still living? What influence do/will they exert even if rightfully imprisoned?

You don’t heal a rotten festering limb, you remove it. I won’t dehumanize these people. They are, unfortunately, just as much human as you or me. However, where you and I may wax philosophical about morals and civil society, they have sought to pursue corruption with no concept of a bottom. They have put every effort in place to escape justice and are fully aware of every criminal act they committed.

They have forfeited any good will that ought to be extended.

When I saw people’s already processed orders getting cancelled with no reason other than to price gouge I was infuriated.

The level of greed in this world sickens me.

I’m kicking myself so hard right now. I went in and upgraded my PC when word of tarrifs were coming back in 2024 but decided to chill on ram because the prices were still low and I felt I had enough. I have 16gb of DDR5 and my rig feels like it’s chugging with newer software.

I should’ve bit the bullet and future proofed with a 64gb set up. My ass decided to buy a house instead 😮‍💨

Honestly I started hooking up with a girl who worked in the same building as me for a few months after I broke up with my ex at the time. She was hot and clearly interested in me so we started flirting and it didn’t take much time to escalate. We were both in our early 20s and she was a year younger than me. She said she was divorced, which was a red flag by itself at our age but I ignored it and gave her the benefit of the doubt…

So anyway that was a lie that turned into," oh we’re actually just separated", then “well, we still live together…”

Again I was a mess myself and she was literally one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met. We continued to hook up under the assumption that all parties consented and we’re aware of what was going on which was fine but in hindsight was still dumb. She was constantly lying, little things and big things. I never really knew the truth and she always had weird justifications which I didn’t really push her to explain, I just filed them away as ‘evidence’ for lack of a better term. We fuck for hours at my place then she’d go home looking disheveled and smelling like sex only to complain that her husband was in a bad mood. That shit was just disrespectful and I had no ntention of rubbing it in the other dudes face like that.

It got to a point where I was like, damn do I have to worry about this dude coming after me at some point? He was in the army and they got together at 18. I don’t know how much he knew about me but with the tension between them, our relationship was quickly becoming a liability. He had firearms, I didn’t. She also only had male friends, many of whom were clearly in love with her and pining for her affection, so more men who were against me.

We were on again off again for a while. One of the last times we hooked up we went to her house and as I took my shoes off I saw size 13 Nike SB Dunks, I didn’t even mention them but it was clear that I wasn’t the only dude she had coming around. And it sure as hell wasn’t a relative. At that point I was mentally checked out and done with the drama. Realized I was gonna get caught up in bullshit if I kept fucking around with her so I told her straight up I’m done because I can’t trust a word she’s saying.

I liked her a lot but we both had our issues, her problems were definitely more substantial tho, not to absolve myself or my actions. I wasn’t into it in the end; the infidelity and lying became far too much on top of the other mental/financial instability.

Apparently he was constantly cheating on her but IDK, so much of the story was iffy. For now on my rule is I’m open to dating a divorcee but only after the divorce has been finalized for over a year. Im not going through that shit again

The user interaction metrics they’ve added have been interesting tho. Millions of south and SE Asians are flocking to reddit.

It’s been wild to watch how the site has grown over the past 15 years for me. Back durning trump’s first term I deleted my account and alts due to paranoia. I’m starting to think I should do the same for newer accounts or abandon the site entirely; hense my presence here.

I heard murmurs about Lemmy when the API shit was going down a few years ago but it was so small back then the switch didn’t really make sense for me. Now that the paranoia is back I don’t feel as comfortable/safe commenting on reddit anymore

Despite what top comment says, what other options are there? Why wouldn’t these be the initial comms options besides jamming? I’d argue for yes up until jamming happens then you pivot. Saying no because of a roadblock and offering nothing else just reads as apathy.

I volunteer usually doing horticultural related work on restoration projects and in urban farm spaces.

This includes everything from planting to weeding and even sees construction of things like garden beds and other platforms for growing

Children.

Fully and wholely children. Politics matter; shutting your ears and eyes to reality is not a viable strategy long term, honestly not even in the short term.

Children arent expected to participate in civic matters, at least to the degree adults do. You shirk those duties you are a child in practice. I’m not saying you need a stance on every thing that happens in a society but saying I don’t do politics (no the same as saying I’m not informed enough to have a strong opinion) is not becoming of a responsible adult in a functional society. Unfortunately we have a lot of people who say they’re not into politics as a cover for their beliefs in bad policy.

Huge difference between having it and not needing it and needing it and not having it.

I think the person you’re replying to is 100% correct since you’re coming at them so heated

As someone who tries desperately to bulk, fitness/health marketing is so frustrating.

I need calories, these small portion minimal fat and calorie bull shit foods low-key piss me off.

Y’all really ain’t ready for the slavery in the US agriculture sector conversation. It’s really bad, and this ICE shit is just acceleration

You gotta be fuckin kidding me man
