rosa-salute I'd burn one but that would require having one in the first place. No one where I live has one hanging either.

This might be the most mundane game I've bought so far, but I picked up Supermarket Simulator and liked it enough to mod it.

It's so fucking tedious, but I can't pull myself away once I get through the first day. burgerpain

All these streaming websites are wild for charging $4 to watch a movie made in 1940.

Here's an archive link for the Grapes of Wrath movie, no torrenting or downloads required. phoenix-evidence

Watergate? That shit was above water baby, aged like fine wine. Apparently, Nixon did nothing wrong.

If you become president, you can start referring to Gitmo as Gottem. Send anyone there you want as long as it's official business, fuck it who's going to stop you?

Is the irony poisoning leaking out of my brain and dripping from my eyes or is that what was basically decided today? Cause it looks a lot like the subtext has become text. i-voted

Had this happen to me a couple of weeks ago with a coworker. Knew they were Christian for years, didn't know the church, didn't want to know.

They shared a video with the whole group and my autistic curiousity got the better of me when I saw the church name in the description. Wish it didn't. Now I'm stuck wondering if my coworker did even less homework than I did picking out a place they probably give at least 10% of their income to, or if they genuinely will never see the women around them as equals. Either way I'm back to keeping to myself at work after years of wearing down my shell.

"Leftism will never take off if you never talk to open minded people!" Ok yeah, but I think my odds are way better talking to people under 40, and I'd rather not risk my job thanks. Not trying to do the "OMG I'M SOOOO QUIRKY!1!" line here but I'm such a fucking weirdo even outside of ideaology that I have no idea what part of myself will set my coworkers off and end with at least one of us getting fired.

You ever get that feeling where you're falling down a rabbit hole and your mind splats against one of the edges so hard that your curiosity ends and you pull yourself out?

Yeah well that weird church I mention the other day? Past all the nice fluff and friendly people in their lobby with free coffee willing to answer any questions you have for them, well it turns out they preach THE DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS. And yes, they include dictators like Hitler with the logic of "If they became leader of a country it must be part of god's plan!" And yes, of course it's not sinful to follow whatever orders a fascist can come up. Questioning authority would be the real sin! An amazing message I found in a Jesus wouldn't vote shweaty, we're all enlightened centrists here sermon. (Just let the other megachurches pour their money into politics and reap the benefits for free. The ratchet effect will do its job eventually since it's part of god's plan!) I'm sorry I just find it wild that this ancient brainworm is heavily burrowed into a church that is trying to appear modern and progressive. Like hating kings is the ONE THING Americans typically get right smh.

Is this the kind of shit actual leftist progressive Christians have to deal with when new people come to their congregation? I've seen enough, and as much as my little gremlin brain would like to ask my coworker if they know about this bonkers ass take I'm gonna end my curiosity here and go back to not socializing at work.

I need to get the out of the south.

Ugh, just made the mistake of learning more about someone I respected at work.

The church they're passionate enough about to volunteer with posts all this shit about love and acceptance and then you search the website past the flowery wording and find out they view all lgbtq as sinful (Just be celibate the rest of your life, it's your personal test! internet-delenda-est ), that women can be in leadership roles... unless they want an actual position of power in the church as an elder lmao get fucked literally and keep popping out those babies, funds an anti-choice "support" organization that puts CHOICE in the name to trick isolated pregnant women into visiting and wasting what little time they have to get an abortion, considers alcoholism and masturbation to be equally serious in their men's group, treats 10% tithe as mandatory and peer pressures up to 20% tithe, and apparently once you get deep enough into the group they tell you that other Christians from other types of churches aren't real Christians and to not only cut them out of your life but to also cut out anyone that leaves your congregation.

And of course they're too cowardly to post an easy to read list on one of their main pages for all this, you really have to go out of your way and even listen to audio only pages and branch news sites / online gossip for most of this. They know how unpopular these once common stances are, honestly it's only thing that gave me hope today. So yeah I'm glad I don't share much about myself at work but lately it's been getting difficult to resist the urge to stop masking altogether. Normally that's a healthy urge, but I've got bills to pay.

If a leftist revolution ever succeeds in this country, reeducation for the general population will be a requirement. xi-plz

They just had us do corporate affirmations over a teams meeting first thing this morning. Thankfully I was on mute because I couldn't stop laughing. I can't say the exact lines but it was something like:

"When we work together we make outcomes that affect our company" huh

They also kept talking about teamwork like it was some sort of secret??? 5 basic workplace practices that will blow upper management overlords away (Number 4 is a secret shhhhh) Naturally bootlickers were slurping it up in the chat. Only after did the actual meeting start.

Hey, you. If you're disgusted by this but still eating animal products this free documentary might help you make the final push.

Me personally, I'm autistic with a binge eating disorder and I used to think I could never become vegetarian, much less vegan. Pretty much all my favorite cope foods used to have meat in them and some of them were just meat. This spring marks my 3 year vegan anniversary in large part because I watched Dominion and confronted the truth with genuine curiosity. I'm not going to lie to you and say it'll be easy. It's a big life change. Enough of a change that people will treat you differently once they know, for better and for worse. But it is easier than it used to be even just a couple years ago and as more people become vegan there are more resources available. I would personally be willing to help you if you need any advice, and I'm sure plenty of other vegans on here would answer questions as well.

(A general abuse/mass death NSFL CW for Dominion, you will not be able to unsee the footage or watch the behind the scenes footage of actors covered in fake gore making jokes like you would with a scary movie. It's all real.)

I have a general feeling that they're bad (the org, not the individual children lmao) but am fuzzy on the details of why. It's generally agreed among leftists that it's child labor right? And that they love teaching little kids that capitalism = cool and good. I've got a niece in girl scouts and I'd just like some more concrete examples and reasons not to support them so that my family understands that I'm not just being cheap... although yeah ok I admit it the shrinkflation over the years is one of the reasons I don't give them money, fine.

Or uuuuuh if you think they're good actually then explain for the class pls. Make me feel bad about buying knockoff treats for a third of the price and then not donating the difference. finger-wag 🍪 walter-breakdown 🍪
