See, I was born around 8:00 AM and I hate mornings. I figure it’s the trauma of being ripped out of my nice comfortable home into this weird, loud, cold setting I never asked to go to.

Ha. As if there’s a process. I just stumble across a hill one day and realizing I’m willing to die on it.

damn, they really are teaching CRT to elementary schoolers

I’m probably going to keep using both regardless, though I may cut back significantly on my reddit use.

Not a subscriber yet, but I might become one after I finish Fantasy High.

Sure, but that’s true of any job. If everyone were a doctor, society would fall apart. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with wanting to be a doctor, or even with a significant portion of the populace being doctors.

I’ve briefly considered setting up a horny instance, but a) I don’t think I have the tech know-how for that, and b) moderation for porn is probably a nightmare.

Not all influencers advertise. A YouTuber who makes money solely from their Patreon is still an influencer.

What’s the difference?

I dunno. I kind of wish there were an anti-corporate place to be horny. Right now there really isn’t.

I do it from the bottom. It’s much easier that way.

I think that if you feel you must clean them, you’re supposed to use some kind of water pick or something, but you’re not really supposed to clean them much at all.

I hold a pencil wrong. I’ve done it this way my whole life. I used to have a callus from it, too.

You are not supposed to use q-tips to clean your ears. But if it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

You’re the ones who don’t understand that socialism means worker ownership of the means of production, not state ownership of the means of production.

But holding a few individuals to account for systemic problems will rarely accomplish anything. Societal problems require societal solutions. We can only achieve meaningful change via collective action. If it were the case that individuals could simply get up in their own homes and choose to change the world, we would already be in a better world, because most of us want that better world. The mere fact that shit sucks right now proves that the will of atomized individuals is not enough to change anything.

Tankies are just right-wingers who simp for different countries.

People like that guy either don’t realize that choosing to allow slurs is also a political decision, or they do realize it and are simply cynical. I’m honestly not sure which.

Caring about humanity is why I care about politics, though. Politics is the vehicle through which humanity’s fate is decided. If you don’t participate in it, you allow people who do to run roughshod over you. Politics decides whether your country goes to war or not, whether people die in poverty or not, whether the climate apocalypse kills us all or not.

Note that by politics I do not necessarily mean electoralism. Voting is a stopgap measure at best. But there’s much more to politics than voting and elections.

As someone who is far, far left, I just want to say that Lemmygrad doesn’t represent us all. The libertarian left is very different.
