8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.

Scrip is kinda low key a thing again. My SO works for wawa and there is definitely some scrip vibe. They have a company store, a points reward system, they will put you through school if you take classes that benefit the Corp, and the only way to move up is to basically bootlick management at weird company festivals.

It all has this very dystopian vibe of “everything within the corporation eco system” and my SO is a very principled women who is shy and kind and she refuses to take a step to elevate herself within the Corp, but getting a union going is pretty hard where we’re at, everyone is very much of the boot tasting, welfare queen bad variety.

Not having children is my retirement. I will probably work till I’m old and gray so I just tuck what I can away, buy things that hold value, and live my life.

What were we talking about?

It’d be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

Look it’s a commie! Get that dirty hippy!

China is the high-water mark of human governance!!

Don’t forget to collect your college credits on the way out!

The wheels fell off this one for sure

That’s cause they’re all about my self interest🥰

I was literally just realizing that now. I just checked inbox for the first time, and it’s pretty annoying. I would mind less if there was at least the entire comment chain within that top comment, cause I often forget what the hell I even said. I was using jerboa before, and there are features I’m really really missing. Sync would be great for perpetual lurker, but I’m addicted to commenting lol. No post creation also a drag, so I’ll just use sync and jerboa in tandem for now.

Yea that’s fair, and tbh, the way I live my day to day, I probably won’t end up ever seeing it. Lol

I used jerboa for last few months, but I got sync the other day, and it is very smooth but I’m really missing certain things from jerboa I found super intuitive. Also in sync I can’t seem to highlight, copy, paste from a posted comment…perhaps that’s a paid feature only? Also no post creation is kinda lame, and I hope that is not behind a pay wall too. …I don’t mind paying guy for his work, but I can’t afford it.

I was also a RiF user (:

Oh that sounds more of a nuanced theme than I was expecting. Cool.

I feel you, but if the movie shows any type of struggle against power, it is probably a more universal theme than what we percieve , especially here in the US, its probably just not that great of a movie otherwise, but with a relatable message. I have zero interest in seeing it, but now that it’s become this culturally charged, I feel I must.

damn dude. I hate people too, but jeez.

I legit don’t remember the last time I went to see a movie…maybe like…one of the hobbit films? Or a Pixar flick with my niece? My brain is so addled, I do not recall. Oh well.

OK, I just asked my way more intelligent and practical wife, and it was Dunkirk, with my crazy mother, whos now all into wild conspiracies.

Was looking for you here lol

Me when I see the amazing memes at /autism, hear the term neuro divergent for the first time, read a ptsd pamphlet, or anything about indoctrination.

Also me when any trump news breaks “wait am I a sociopath too?”

Maybe I’m a passive hypochondriac, or just terribly unaware of anything at all.

I had this exact thought right before I scrolled to it. Depending on my brain, I can either lay and go dead sleep, or if I’m racing ill pick up the phone or whatever. I just took my blind cat out to chase moths and I’m not in the mood to sleep. Maybe in a few min. -lemmy addiction
