You don’t want to collect trash off the streets? Well, looks like our city will look like shit forever. You don’t want to work as a cashier? Well, looks like our supermarkets will remain closed.

Every time I read this I just hear loud licking sounds.

How about paying those people enough that they want to do those jobs?

I’ve tried about half of those and liked two of them. I’m sort of fine with missing what keeps flowing out of the P R E S T I G E T V slop vats at this point.

What I’m saying is sometimes you don’t know what you want. I don’t really believe in leagues. I believe in finding someone who makes you happy. And when you’re happy, you stop caring what other people think.

The “objective/10” mindset for measuring living, breathing, thinking, feeling human beings is poison, agreed.

The clown does stand out in that picture, so that’s something.

Sure.

Those same people could also accept criticism of all of the above (regarding D&D, I won’t just accept criticism of the game system, I will join in and rant for hours about what a hot mess 4th Edition was) without tying it to their identities to the point of getting enraged when consumer products (or the means used to make them) are criticized as if it is an attack on themselves.

There isn’t much worth responding to in your wall of label-dodging sophistry.

Politics exist, “bullshit” to you or not. Almost everything imaginable has political context and connections even if you plug your ears and make loud noises.

I’m sorry but

You’re not sorry. Spare me the Reddit cliches.

I don’t believe you made this comment in good faith at all

I don’t think you’re willing to leave your bubble and see that the world is larger and more intersectionally connected than your selfish whining about how the world other people inhabit isn’t as comfortably easy for you to ignore anymore.

I do see value in harm reduction

Categorically, regarding the still-open concentration camps across the southern border, the murderously neglectful lack of a meaningful covid response, the expanded oil drilling and permissive retention of the previous regime’s planet-burning deregulation policies and the tax cuts and kickbacks to the rick being maintained, harm is not being reduced at this point.

Bruh

yourself.

But something.

Your “harm reduction” president has not reduced much harm at all, no matter how you scramble in the dirt to try to hold up shiny things to wave at me.

It’s just

We need to take the wins we can get

The last three years, especially with covid and climate change, were not wins. Even the pretense of slowing the damage down is weak to false now.

Making my own boot discs and fucking with a balancing act of EMS/XMS virtual memory to get Descent and Ultima 7 to work on my 386.

The differences between them are getting less and less apparent over time.

Biden rolled back next to nothing of his predecessor’s policies and executive orders. The border concentration camps are still open for business.

but I want more progressives in office

You’re not getting them because that’s not what the ruling class wants from the DNC.

Harm reduction, bro. This time it will be different, bro.

Harm reduction, bro. This time it will be different, bro.

Why are you lot so obsessed with reddit? Can’t you leave that place behind?

Can you blame people for being reminded of Reddit when you and your posts reek of Reddit?

I digress.

You and your ilk

ad hominem

Pretentious shit like that is the stench of Reddit.

And what makes you think I am a libertarian?

So far you’ve claimed not to be a liberal and not to be a libertarian, so if you’re one of those very tiresome “I have no political ideology” bullshit artists trying to dodge labels to seem extra enlightened, as seems to be the case, that’s actually a move that has overlap with both.

It’s fuckin hilarious lmao

You like it that

It’s funny that

It’s ironic that

It’s interesting that

Reddit minded people like yourself keep trying to mask their rage behind such tiresome “totally not mad” sentence fillers.

You and your ilk

Who the fuck is anita sarkeesian?

Literally who, amirite

And what makes you think I’m a liberal?

Everything you have posted so far, liberal.

Ushe my knowledge, I beg you and sho on and sho on

Ironic. He could save others from their unexamined ideology… but not himself.
