my dad didn’t bail me out of shit and i ended up not being able to speak up or advocate for myself about anything. since i never had a safe out i ended up desensitized to uncomfortable situations, spending the most formative decade of my life working out the suicidal ideation i had developed after getting bullied into an injury that i lacked the self-advocacy to speak up about. i sure would’ve appreciated a hand.

“weakens people” reads to me like the extremely flawed mouse utopia experiment that i still hear thrown around as a deflection to the reduction of suffering. fuck off with that bullshit.

i swear ever since i was born into bush the goalposts just keep moving and all the adults seem to do is blame the kids, instead of taking any of that accountability for themselves like they greedily do with everything else

no actually i can back them up, you suck at making a point

a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, you’re the one responsible for that evidence bro try growing up a bit

??? this isn’t my fight bro lmao i’m just saying you have nothing to back up your whataboutism so don’t throw stones in a glass house

pretty rich talking about comprehension when you can’t even read a username

surely you can see the irony in placing blame back onto the individual with this reply lol

had a close friend try to defend 6 sick days a year as "generous"

lmao.

SCHEISSDRECK

unfortunately i see it way too often in this country, eventually you get deep enough to become unable to reject the absurdity, as it would mean acknowledging your own status as a slave

they're being facetious lol

and you didn't even mention the car itself lol

this one’s clearly tinier

afaik it's more the other way around, the leading theory i've heard is that consciousness emerges from conflicting cognitive processes (spotting food next to a predator) to arbitrate in the interest of self-preservation

capitalism creates egocentrics, it makes everyone think they deserve to be the slavers capitalists

thanks for the kind words, now i’ve made it out the other side of the OR in a resounding success

turns out it wasn’t just one loose rib strumming one nerve, but 3 loose ribs strumming a whole damn chord of nerves ahaha

and the ones most insistent on bearing arms against a tyrannical government are the ones who support diaper in chief the most, so it's all for naught!

of how capitalism is broken

FTFY

i made it to an operating room after 15 years of being dismissed by doctors and reprimanded by my biological sperm donor after getting a slipped rib

never stop advocating for yourself

conflating single issue voters with closet bigots is how you make the situation more divisive and foster animosity btw

regardless of how this guy actually voted, i know many people voted for him in 2016 because his campaign was extremely vocal about ending proxy wars. the focus shouldn't be on them, it should be on the people who voted for him 3 times and still try to dodge accountability and deflect shame by marketing themselves as a "centrist"
