people still get up in arms when you diminish 9/11. Not “dark humor” joking. Just calling it out as an insignificant event… especially in the context of Palestine or even USA COVID-19 deaths. “But muh towers”

This is Lemmy, not Reddit. You can say Luigi Mangione. I’d say that would be my last straw but I’ve long since broken. I just don’t have direction.

Vance and Musk need to be taken out as well. I don’t think MAGA would last long without a leader, but as stupid as WE think Vance/Musk are, remember we also see Trump as a lying con-man, and MAGA supporters rally around him.

Already looked at emigration. I’m sure doctors and scientists and researchers are leaving in droves, but for the average person it’s quite difficult until there is some amnesty policy.

Could start with you; Could start with me.

I feel every part of this. I just wanted to be an artist and make video games for people to enjoy. Now I’m screaming in terror watching every facade of normalcy be torn apart like paper mache. My two cents is that we need to get armed and fast. We’re beyond the point of “wanting” or “not wanting”. I’ve been spending the last several months desensitizing myself to violence and coming to terms with the idea that I do not have a future. I was not a violent person but I know I need to be.

This is not a world of reason, stability, rationale, future. This is a world that is run by the enemy. This is the time we need to assume the worst because the cost of under-estimating is too high.

yeah… :(

As an American I know I will never look at America or other people the same way again. The last few months have opened me to ideas I never considered before and have completely changed how I view myself and even the people I used to trust. This is certainly the Gen Y/Z generation-wide trauma event. I’m not sure the AIDS epidemic was even this bad. Government negligence is one thing. This is complete disregard for the law.

They’re dressed in plain clothes. It wouldn’t be hard to get another civilian to join in defending yourself. Especially when the target is a white woman.

Better to lose your job than lose your life

All Cops Are Bastards

I’m certain she is. Jasmine Crockett is the same lady who told Trump to “stop being Putin’s ho”. She told Musk to “Fuck off”. She’s an outspoken progressive. She’s trying to spur the Democrats and non-MAGA Republicans into action.

yes we hit that point 3 months ago.

okay Switch to Linux if you can and are willing to undergo constant troubleshooting. I chose not to, and this is how I managed that.

I’ve been using my device for well over 5 years and have had zero issues. And there isn’t much of an alternative if you need Windows compatibility.

my two cents - install an older version of Windows 10. I use 20H2. You can find clean ISO files on the Internet Archive. Disable automatic updates, and use services like Blackbird (getblackbird.net) to de-bloat your instance.

Passport. You need a passport to fly domestically. The End.

“if we’re happy together we stay, if we’re not we split.” Beautifully put. You and your girlfriend have been together for 5 years, which seems like a commitment in itself.

Personally I seem like marriage is an outdated practice, from a time where women were treated as property. It’s a legal contract, like you’d make with a business partner. Marriage isn’t even permanent (nor should it be). It just makes separation more expensive. Even if both participants want to split, and they agree on how to do it, now they need to get a judge to dissolve that contract.

And in the modern economy, many couples are choosing to forgo marriage, and put the money they save toward a shared house, which is a commitment in itself. People might argue that it’s necessary if you plan to have children, but most couples can’t afford that, some others don’t want that. And if children are a future goal for you and her, wouldn’t you have a commitment to that child? Plus, there are child support systems in place, whether the child was born in wedlock or not.

I could ramble on. The whole system of marriage only ever mattered because society said it should, and now that women aren’t forced to be a “side-piece”, and people don’t gasp at the idea of premarital sex, it’s just an expensive celebration. Marriage won’t make a relationship more stable. It will just make it harder for both people to leave.

It is her politics and her strength, and Also her transparency and her target demographic. She represents the people - not the big corporations, even the corporations that favor Democrats. She’s here for the 99%, and to help her people, she is willing to take from the top 1% that never should have the money they possess.
