aw i saw shitposts about this and thought it looked pretty fun, like stock trading but without the cruelty and capitalism and crushing horror. like the real stock market sucks shit but i’m baller at the cookie clicker stock market mini game.
yeah, thats what switched me from using it occasionally to never.
the odd occasion i go one some craft subreddit and have to turn my fucking vpn off for embroidery resources i radicalize all over again
no skills
i can absolutely guarantee that a food worker has more skills than me or literally anyone i know in tech
theres a guy at my work who’s been incredibly helpful to me and has taken up all of the training that this bullshit company neglected to give me. he is lowkey the reason i still have a job. he has a bit of shaky grasp of the english language and i try to be patient with that and give him a hand, i don’t think the rest of the team really talks to him because of his hit-or-miss english. sometimes we’ll stay on a call even after work hours have ended to chat about football.
and then, a few days ago, he tells me whats going on in fr*nch politics. this then rapidly progessed into open racism. he complained about immigrants not integrating, and the whole “there are parts of paris that the police are afraid to go to. because of the woke.”, and how some socialist freaks don’t like isreal and are clashing with police (BASED), and how all arabs are violent; its just innate, its their culture. he, not speaking good english in an english language company, had the gall to bitch about immigrants not knowing french
he even tried to bond with me by being like “don’t you guys have the whole knife crime thing? because of the violent immegrants?” FUCK OFF CLAUDE, KNIFECRIME IS OUR NATIONAL FUCKING SPORT ALL ON OUR OWN 
the whiplash from the only person in this company who has ever been decent to me (and is also my boss’ boss) turning out to be a rabid reactionary is incredibly unsettling. i don’t know what to do, or if i could even keep my job if i mention this to anyone. it was unrecorded, outside of work hours, and hes my only source of support in this bullshit fucking job. so yeah, don’t ask, but they might tell you anyway 
was that not the implication? i mean, certainly some of it probably happened, but i did just assume that johhny (drunk madman) was not having the greatest times regardless of whatever he might say.
i figured that the sickening, unnerving, body-horror esq way that the woman with the Pekinese was described was closer to what was actually going on. i figured all these girls were somewhere between absolutely average and just having the worst times of their lives, like johnny, but we were getting his tilted/exagerated perspective - only one of these encounters was actually confirmed to have happened (as much as anything is ever confirmed in this book lol).
i was out in the town centre the other day and saw some anarchists staging some sort of protest. and i was like, fuck yeah! free palestine! until i got closer and saw that it wasn’t the ancom flag, it was a different half black half red flag that had some yellow symbol on it, and a bunch of people with ukraine shit. like bestie its been 2 years lmao, how do they not know its joever? genuinely, why the fuck are you wasting your weekend for a country being used as a nato pawn that we all knew never stood a chance in the first place?
also, given that its a symbol being used for the ukraine i assumed it was some fash shit. i got home, googled it, and its the flag of the ukrainian insurgent army - and guess who they were shooting at during ww2? not the fucking germans 
does anyone have any sources on that that “china invited everyone to see the ‘uyghur camps’, the west refused, but all the muslim countries went and said it was chill” thing? and/or adrian zenz being fucking insane? my lib friend has turned out to be suprisingly open to being chinapilled, but the whole ~genocide~ bullshit is a big stumbling block
suprisingly enough, trying to find things that counter US propaganda through google isn’t working out well 
i love that the CW is “penis talk” not bugs or anything. which implies that this is just a normal part of life for people with dicks… 
because they have spent approximately 0.5 seconds of their lives thinking about foreign policy. they simply Do Not look at this
jesus fucking christ
what is the point of a federal government if not to set regulations and minimums like that (obviously the purpose of the US federal governemnt is to serve the bourgeoisie, but goddamn how does it get away with being so much more mask off than all the other bourgeois states)
Workers who receive 11 to 15 days of PTO each year
in amerikkka you’re allowed to give your emplyees 11 days vacation per fucking year?? land of the free lmao 
why is he doing it early? i figured the tories were desperately holding on and hoping something big happened to give them some chance of winning, but i’m pretty sure the tories are as fucked as they always were
idk, i know this is probably happening on twitter for sus reasons, but in practical terms this seems like a straight upgrade? tumblr lets you hide your likes and thats great - i don’t neccessarily need people who i want to have genuine conversations with exposed to my piss kink lmao, or to see that i’m into [name of trashy tv show here]. if anything this will improve engagement because you’re not making a Statement everytime you hit the little heart button. generally more privacy is more good isn’t it?
Do Americans realize-
no
it costs $130
false, it costs $0 
because as practitioners of the immortal science of marxism-leninism, we already know everything 
middle class earners spend like lower-income workers
i love that they won’t even refer to middle class people as workers - they’re “earners” as if theyre bourgeoisie lmao. we can’t let the various proles start getting the idea that they’re all on the same team! 
its middle class suburban paranoia, the 24 hour news cycle, and racism, thats it.
i’ve recently moved to a large city from the countryside and my grandma is terrified of me getting stabbed. no one she knows has ever been stabbed, but it’s on the news so it must be happening every day. its just what those hoodied youths get up to. the thing is i’m the only young person i’ve ever known who carries a knife - i always have, i’m from a fucking farm. it’s a knife that’s literally illegal in my country, we just don’t have cops nearby.
the real kicker: SHE gave me that knife when i was fucking 13
doesn’t amerikkka have something similar about how every street corner in detroit/chicargo/wherever is swarmed by teens who are Definitely smoking fentynol? its those same PMC delusions, but with violence instead of drugs. if ALL violent crime were eliminated, the news would just turn to some other shit to rile people up over.
i always saw it spelt “gunner”
… have i accidentally been gooning all of my life
