"it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it's not. like most *real* conspiracies it is ... 'a quiet collusion of class interests.' it is the institutions that we have, the media, caring more about keeping our current economic system propped up more than they care about human welfare"

2 yr ago, I tried to put a RO on my cousin who was on meth and broke into my house multiple time, vandalized, and attempted setting the house on fire with me and my partner (and dog!) inside. I had 6 separate incidents caught in 4k w/ mult cameras. Cops wouldn't even review it. Had to get a lawyer.

I have five doors on my not excessively large but very weird and angular house so i've set up my comfy porch chair by the one i HOPE they come to.

Dealing with long covid and no water in migraine season is testing me. I'm like "ok if I take nsaids and rhodiola, and then rest, I might have spoons this afternoon to do laundry at friends' house.

Then UPS is all "you have to sign for your package today. HOPE YOU'RE AWAKE!"

I like rocks when they look like something else. The gold and green labs are often great little landscapes.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

If there isn't already an article entitled "the Mason-Disco Line" on how race and region played into how weird people got about disco, then someone needs to write it.

Funny enough I have three of yours and blue is not the main color of any of them. Tho people do seem to clear you out of it first.

I just found my note from last night - I dreamed someone ordered a pendant from me but put a note saying to give it to someone else because they wanted to support me but absolutely could not have any blue in their house, ever.

...I'm unclear if this was really picky or magical rule or what.

Stop doing business with it

Cosign. I feel like there are so many things I should be talking about but I really can't without some guys coming to my house.

So much Gaultier in my brain when i read that. I'm tired of our own khaki dystopia.

(I then went Oh! $2! and got it anyway all is fine in the world.)

Huh! I think it took so long because zon is glitching. I tried to get it four minutes after you posted and they said it was gone.

When No One Is Watching is one of my picks, too. It wouldn't even need a wild budget.

That book about gave me heart failure.

I was just thinking that animated would be awesome; oldschool, by people who really love light and water. And also have a love for bonkers fashion.

This is absolutely wonderful.

And the rules are kind of vague.

But yeah you can make something like a discord be what you want, but part of that is talking to people.

Here, I feel like they're actually trying to move the needle on actual culture.

10.03.2026 13:58 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Yep.

Like I said, poor taste.

But also I just don't really feel like it makes sense to ban for it.

Somebody popular made a play on words between penis and panini, got banned for it.

But not to put too fine a point on it, George Foreman's penis is beyond mortal reach anyway.

Should I be concerned about the number of times I've wished I could meet up with Edward Bernays by the flagpole after school? (Fuck that guy, but he is safe from me.)

American expressions and jokes tend to be violent or gross and I don't love it. I've been trying to cure my own language of things I don't mean, but it's not that easy because I don't honestly know how we're supposed to live in America and not laugh about violence if only to get through the day.

Like right now, and often, I'm like "i did not need that image, thanks... but also OH, COME ON."

I feel like half the time somebody gets banned, whatever it was was in extraordinarily poor taste... but I don't think you can ban people into embodying the culture that you want, especially when it's not super clear what that would be.

if you have a salary job making 70k or more a year then make friends with a couple of trans people online who are busting their asses to barely eat and send them 10 or so dollars here there please please please together we can make difference

Yeah dad was a neopagan. Mom, for all that she kept sending me to the terrible "disabled people are going to hell" church, has a lot of new age tendencies, and my dad's parents were the good kind of methodists. So I at least knew there were OPTIONS.

If people are content with what they have and don't want more, as long as they don't make it my problem i think that's wonderful for them.

I'm sure some would/do.

But I have mostly so far run into "I can't believe poor people have cellphones" from people with more than one house.
