Oh hell.

I know it’s fake, but this makes me sad.

Make it stop hurting.

It’s just the cope people go through to navigate a worsening economy while lacking class consciousness. If you perpetuate the belief that the responsibility is on the consumer, then you can look at the exploitation and say it’s because they weren’t smart shoppers who did their homework. The system doesn’t need to change, you just need to be smarter.

It’s just another permutation of personal responsibility politics used to ignore the systemic problems we’re seeing. It’s telling customers not to be stupid instead of questioning why videogame companies keep selling low quality garbage with pre-order bonuses to hook people who want to look forward to something.

It’s bad to do the pre-orders and get invested like with Starfield, but the people offering warnings like that are more just trying to prove they are being a smarter shopper. That they won’t get duped by the hype.

Brunch is singing her siren song and we’re gonna crash into the rocks.

Lol I never forgot. Those ideologies also destroyed queer lives, lives in the middle east, and lives in the global south. The memory of the US is about 3 seasons of television long.

Real energy.

Do you to think Ronald Reagan or his supporters actually oppose the policies within Project 2025?

I’m not saying you should vote for Trump, but the worst people supporting Kamala Harris isn’t the win they seem to think it is.

Please, any unironic Kamala supporters, could you tell me how this is a win and not a condemnation of her ‘platform?’

Yeah. It’s FOMO for me. I want to be part of the conversation sometimes and these games just stop being active.

Playing Skyrim, Final Fantasy X-2 and Theatrhythm on Switch.

Reading Slewfoot, about a woman in the 1600s being tormented by puritans and possibly a nature spirit or demon.

I’ve been sober off edibles for a week now and did some novel reading. I’ve been trying to comfort and entertain myself without spending money, and I went a whole week without making a purchase.

I got paid today though, so I’m going to try to make it stick. Reading the books and playing the games I already have and facing my issues instead of trying to cope with stress in unhealthy ways.

That’s a cool strategy! I never considered microexercises.

I hope you feel better soon, comrade!

Please tell me this was made ironically.

It feels like ads these days are crossing a lot of boundaries that they didn’t just a few years ago. It’s manufacturing consent but more aggressive. Normalizing the violence.

He just put the couch in the microwave for a little bit to reach human body temperature. It would be weirder if he didn’t.

Who could have known the cop would be a bastard?

As someone who’s both ND and with a diminished social circle from an isolating family, I hate that people still talk about getting a job as just a matter of applying like there isn’t preferential treatment for connected people.

And framing education as the ‘great equalizer’ hasn’t done anything to dispel the myth of meritocracy.

Mommy.
