People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

The idea of "freedom of speech" is important. But man that importance is tested when every fucking time, it's just some grown-ass mewling fuckwit, screeching slurs and hatred, wanting the freedom from consequences. Free speech? No. I'm removing your vocal cords.

And that's the cargo-trike stolen. Which in this fucken town means it's as good as gone because the cops are useless,both college kids and crackheads would sooner die than give up one of their own, and this useless-ass apartment doesn't have cameras for any building except their main office.

So let me get this straight. I have a medical insurance provider that considers me a client due to outdated paperwork (which they won't fix); The original source of said healthcare insurance that can fix the aforementioned provider's paperwork records, but WON'T; And the current source of state-

-provided healthcare that won't cover anything because the aforementioned outdated paperwork states that they are my "primary healthcare insurance provider." And all three of these dipshits are both aware of the outdated records, but won't fix it?

You know, growing up it was all about "welfare queens" and "lazy slobs slumming it on unemployment and making hundreds of thousands just bouncing between jobs." But now that I dare try and apply for benefits to survive a job hunt, it's like I'm being forced into a humiliation parade by the OR gov.

The strictest fucking checks into my life, the numerous number of "hey come into our office you need to do five more reemployment seminars," the immediate Rejection Notices if a desk jockey has so much as one mildly bad drive on the way to work. Hard to see how somebody can just scam through it.

I'm not a well-educated individual. Failed two different attempts at college. So maybe I'm just dumb. But is it just me, or is there something just weird about this time period's set of wealthy freaks? Even in the Gilded Age, billionaires wanted to be seen as philanthropic and "noble benefactors."

Compared to now, it's like a collective psychosis is infecting the small percentage of people above a certain net worth. It's all about exploiting and fomenting addictions, cutting people off to let them starve, building up your fortress gates to avoid looking at the peasants. What changed?

man. fuck job politics. fuck job interviews and ghost-job-openings and abusive employers. where's the gahddang quest board- where's the fucken adventurer's guild. Just post a task that needs doing. I go in, pick it, get the quest, finish it, turn it in, boom get paid.

I am so fucking tired of dog owners. "oh he's just friendly he just wants to say hello" He is trying to lunge over the counter and eat my face, but because you have the mental awareness of a sea cucumber your dog ownership means Sparkles here can run wild. And corporate doesn't care, because MONEY

Train your fucking animal how to behave in spaces outside of your goddamn house. Train your fucking animal to have some restraint, and not jump all over the fucking place. And if the animal doesn't respond to training, its your RESPONSIBILITY to keep them under fucking control. Simple as.

with Marjorie Taylor Greene being kind of a whack job and magic the gathering rolling every IP it can into the game, it’s taking longer and longer to decipher which one posts about “MTG” are actually referencing lately

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Was just thinking about how a lot of kids are growing up now with live service games as their "childhood games", and I wonder how many of those will simply not be playable in any form anymore once they reach adulthood

You can't defend gore, violent, gruesome media without defending sex and erotic media. Both go hand in hand, there's eroticism in the grotesque, theres horror in the sensual. Your "purity" about sex won't save you if you think making war is better than making love
