People die because other people believe help is harm.

Probation which seems like a trap to incarcerate

My legs stopped working about a week ago and I dragged my stupid ass out of traffic. Still grinding

I'm going to jail, dude, and I'm almost happy because they feed you. I'm pretty fucked

tacocat  ·  464 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pubski: January 4, 2023

I'm way more fucked than I'm letting on. My mom is laying in bed and accusing my stepdad of cheating because I guess she has nothing better to do. There's no insurance finagling in her head. I guess some old ass dude is hitting on her too and she's not real happy about that. Fucking train wreck and me and my brother usually end up talking about Elon Musk being a moron somehow thankfully

Spanner in the works. Whatever

My mom had an aneurysm last year too

You always know they're going to die. Then it hits

And somehow you have grandparents who hang on forever out of spite and hatred

Looking forward to the thoughtful conversation this inspires

A podcast called Behind the Bastards has no business being as good as it is. I've also had some fun with Worst Year Ever

His Twitter is a great resource for what's going on in Portland too

I've had this stuck in my head for like a week after deciding I wanted to write a queer reading of it. Like 90% of the day. This is not unusual for me and has a medical name I can't remember. I basically stopped listening to music for a year because of it

I love how he keeps talking about individual mass transit. It reminds me of the running joke in Airheads about the band name being The Lone Rangers

Both sidesing this is murder apologia.

Believing things could be better is nonsensical and ineffectual. Just push the blue button and get the shit kicked out of you like a rational and effective voter.

He said as much in an interview with Dave Rubin who has a conservative audience but other times he's been evasive or contradicted that interview. As a single person I might be able to make it on $12k a year but also my roommate is on disability, food stamps and supplemental housing and dude ain't exactly making it so maybe I couldn't. Add a few kids and you're SOL

Bernie critics: his base is a bunch of cultists no different than Trump's

Bernie voices an unpopular opinion

Bernie's base: this man is dead to me

Bernie critics: this is cult behavior

I'm not sure I haven't watched one of them in jail

An XM dj said Pharrell wrote the chorus of Ju$t and it's hard to square that in my head with Happy and the Arby's hat. But respect to him. Failure on my part

tacocat  ·  1411 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: 385th Weekly "Share Some Music You've Been Into Lately"

Did a quick revisit of System of a Down. The first album is not as good as I remember

The second is better than I remember

I just kinda sampled some songs. I think they still hold up. One of the few bands from high school I don't hate

tacocat  ·  1427 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Reddit's Top User Leaves Platform After Harassment

Asking for healthcare compensation for stress caused by a volunteer position that you made worse by adding more to your own workload is quite the demand

I got banned from /r/art around the time this guy made his account when the mods decided I'd committed a technical violation of the rules on titles. Completely ending any chance of me selling my work by being #1 in the largest art sub, being confused by why I was pissed the fuck off and then whining about how hard their "job" is.

Cry me a river bitch. What did you think you were getting into? Having a lot of power on a popular website is the honest answer

tacocat  ·  1448 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Alex Jones is craving human flesh

I recommend his books as audiobooks. Hearing him describe Alex Jones putting on a disguise to sneak into Bohemian Grove and panicking when he thinks he's going to be caught is a thing of beauty. I think the disguise is just like a Columbia shirt, shorts and some sunglasses. He describes them as looking like golfers or some such bougie white guy

Even my best airbnb experience was weird at best. The bad ones were horrible. One time I rented a closet with a loft bed in it. Another time I got one of four mattresses in a living room in a house across from a coffin factory that was probably a zoning violation. Just a garbage platform. I have no sympathy for these people

I was expecting their Wikipedia to have a section devoted to controversial issues they backed like child slavery or something but the worst thing they seem to have done is become center left so I felt alright copying their logo

I did that. I carved it into a sheet of linoleum. All the straight lines made me sweat and shake. It's my new hobby that's not actually relaxing

If I could get ketamine I would watch and enjoy this movie and people who can get ketamine have watched and enjoyed this movie. There's your disparity

Wanna see cat Rebel Wilson eat cockroaches with human faces? Then... Get her cat skin ripped off... To reveal some kind of sequin swim suit? Fucking sober!?

I believe we don't recognize the International Criminal Court and it's been proposed or legislated that we can invade the Hague under certain conditions. Because we do lots of crimes of the war and against humanity type.

The ICC pretty much only prosecutes African leaders for some odd reason

Apocalyptic imagery and sarcasm

tacocat  ·  1477 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Maybe We Should Have Let the South Secede

My thoughts usually end with a less smart version of what kleinbl00 said. It's here fucked. I've lived in three southern states. Look up the shape of Fulton County, Georgia for example. It's not random. I live in like a little panhandle within walking distance of a county with public transit. That wasn't a mistake

Atlanta is not without its charm though. You are correct
