I like Jill Stein. She can’t win this presidency. Voting for her results in Trump winning. That is a fact. I don’t like it either, but voting for her is the same as handing a vote to Trump. Again, I cannot stress this enough, I do not like this. I don’t want Kamala. I want a socialist. But Trump is a massive fucking threat, and Kamala is the only option that can beat him this race. Vote ideals locally, strategy federally.

That’ll just lose us more rights when Trump gets elected.

I would be one of you if they didn’t purge my accounts years ago. The trust will never return.

I see. There’s the disconnect. You offered both an anecdote and an objective statement. You called the comic inaccurate, as well as stating what happens as though it’s a universal experience. And then you offered an anecdote. The response was geared towards your first couple remarks, not the anecdote. They were snarky about it, but the sentiment is true. You were speaking for everyone, not just yourself. Your retort doesn’t make much sense because they weren’t doing the same thing.

Genuinely curious. What do you mean by this?

Loud and stupid are affectionate descriptors from my friends. I also struggle with volume after being too quiet for my early years and overcompensating in the later ones.

I grew up poor and black. The illusion was never there.

Definitely under duress. I wouldn’t do it if I felt I had viable alternatives.

Ignorance has always been a fake excuse for much of what’s wrong with American politics. The reason is usually summed up by a combination of greed and malice, and a system not built to combat those traits.

I’ve got ancient blogs and comments left on ebaumsworld from when the internet and I were still children. Every now and again I like to revisit the site and see the ghosts of the era. It’s probably been 5 or so years since my last visit. It’s a particular feeling for sure.

Jesus Christ. What a tragic life…

“So’s Animal Crossing, but I don’t think less of you for sinking all your time into it.”

Apocalypto is my biggest case for using death of the author to enjoy creative works. I don’t like the guy, but that movie is a must-watch.

I had no idea this existed. Thanks for the share!

Fair enough!

I have a cloak vendor bookmarked. I haven’t pulled the trigger because I don’t know if I wanna be the cloak guy, but dammit I want a cloak.

I never got to see these things in action while in school, but I remember hearing they were on the way. To this day, I’ve still only interacted with analog boards.

I never would have guessed.
