i got a free couch from them back in February. i ordered it, then that night, they canceled my order and refunded me, then about 3 weeks later, it showed up anyway.

nobody is making shit up except the propagandists who spoon feed us this idea that we are so much more enlightened now we were in the olden days. i mean, look around you.

it was as normal as it is now. so what’s your point?

pretty sure that racism in the days of yore was still racist (please remember who decided what was appropriate in common parlance back then)

my apologies for overestimating the political literacy of the typical lemmy user.

i’m not going to beg any of you to bother knowing what “neoliberal” means. i am simply no longer a lemmy user. and i realize i don’t have to announce my departure - i know you don’t care, but that is a problem, whether you agree with me or not. the culture here (all over this platform) is aggressively ignorant and it’s not harmless.

oh ffs

i heard she ate a salad with a comb, made out of a grosser comb

i would argue that peppermint patties are among the more economical options out there

that he would still rather walk 10 miles than pay for an airlift (a nurse is very likely to have decent insurance as well)

pretty sure i read that the guy is a nurse too… so what does that tell ya lol

it doesn’t help pay the bills but i hoard digital books and keep them in a Proton Drive and a Mega Drive, and i share them in a Telegram channel and sometimes other social media.

as leftists, we know that this type of work is not profitable to capitalists and that is why they won’t pay us to do it.

i’m not sorry you were born working class. i am sorry that our organizing efforts are still too neoliberal-brained to recognize the value of labor that serves our greater good.

(psst there’s a dog)

i only ever drink it with caramel sauce and cream in it, or in coffee smoothies. it’s really good though, i dig it.

i recently decided to try robusta for the first time as well, and i like it very much. i’ve been using beans from Café Justo for 22 years but had never considered trying their robusta beans before now.

i just wanted to share a couple of old memes i made that are relevant to this topic. i hope that’s ok.

if i’m not mistaken (sure i’ll double check after i post this) the most recent ruling by SCOTUS (Parkland High School cop who dipped out during a mass shooting or something like that) basically just reinforced several previous decisions with regard to a cop’s duty to protect us - the way it’s put by the court almost sounds reasonable: that an officer’s duty is to society at large and not to any particular group or individual member of the public. but we know what that means and we sure know how it works in practice.

i caught some snippet of a discussion of the court ruling on the radio, and though interesting, it changed nothing to know the actual reasoning used by the court because um, how does a cop go about protecting “society at large?” if that’s their duty then it means it’s never their duty to protect anyone in need of protection in any given real life scenario.

and so it can be said that sensationalizing this issue is really more truthful and objective than just reporting the court’s own words.

you just got yourself uninvited to the cool and fun drug parties and demoted to desperate drug parties.
