Yeah, I don’t know what the rules are on mutualaid, I’ve never quite hit the point where I absolutely needed it, though I’ve been close. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it if you didn’t yet know about it. Good luck, comrade.

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this, comrade. My wife has spent most of the last year unable to get stable full time work due to a long term health issue finally getting so bad that they’d give her the surgery to correct it (a surgery we’ve been trying to find someone who would agree to do for nearly 8 years at that point). Because every doctor before missed it, it got so bad that the recovery took MUCH longer than it otherwise would have. She has lost multiple jobs in the last 8 years and we’ve always been one step forward and then it was a coin flip on if we’d take one or multiple steps backwards. Just this week she finally started being able to get work daily and I can attest that financial stability can be a huge stressor. The only reason we survived is that my adult son was able to set aside his own wants and desires for the last year and see that it was cheaper to contribute the majority of his income to household bills than it was to find a place of his own in an area so expensive as ours. It will probably take years to pay him back but I couldn’t be more grateful.
Now that I trauma dumped my back story, I do so to say I understand both you and your partner’s point of view on this issue. In a just society, this type of issues would not be occurring, because your basic needs would be taken care of, all of our collective basic needs would be addressed. Sadly, we don’t live in that type of society.
The best advice I can give, is to make a budget based on your current income. You won’t budget your way out of poverty but you are not wrong that even if you’re broke, you need at least SOME small thing to keep you sane, budget for that. Set a limit on how much you can spend on those little smile things and spend the rest focusing on getting things straightened out financially. Look and see if there are any better paying jobs available or old things you aren’t using that you could sell for a few extra bucks. (I recently went through my accumulated things I bought when money wasn’t tight and sold off some electronics I wasn’t using, it was how I made it through December without missing any bills.
Life can get better, but it will take a LOT of luck and you will have to push through a lot of hard days to get there. Hang in there, comrade is you’ve got this. (also, if you’re in dire straights, you can always request help in the mutual aid community on lemmygrad or hexbear (I don’t remember the exact spot currently))
ADL represents Jews in the same way that PETA cares for adoptible pets…I’d much more trust JVFP.
Not only holds us back, actively drags us fucking backwards! Link
I was told there would be an imminent collapse any day now.
Yes, Madison was the one. They were hilarious in the video where they won a free computer but when she came to actually work for the company, it was apparently a much worse experience.
I desperately wish I could understand Korean or that there were English subs.
And also, even more insidously, they’re extracting it from other countries via violence that they entice from compradors, as well as from the liability/comfort of the planet for future generations of humans (as well as many other creatures that we’ve driven to endangered or extinct status).
JFC. I thought dealing with my annoying dad was absolutely unhinged…this is a whole new level of disconnection from reality.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is a satire account or not when looking through their post history…can we get off this timeline now?
Considering it’s a back the blue flag, I’m going to guess they’re making commentary on modern white supremacists. Neonazi openly flew the nazi flag in the 80s and 90s, then when that became too niche they moved to the confederate battleflag so they could dogwhistle a bit, then moved to back the blue once the dog whistle became too obvious amongst the general population (as if it’s fooling anyone anyway)
Inshallah
Even big cats/wild cats have the same issue. Also, keep your house cats indoors only anyway, they live longer that way.
In addition to orcas and bears, don’t forget cats. Cats are obligate carnivores. They will literally die if they don’t have at least some meat on the regular as they are unable to synthesize certain nutrients (eg taurine) without meat.
If all capitalists were actually ethical and fair, we wouldn’t have capitalism.
It’s using Javascript to retrieve and update information on the page without refreshing or moving to a different one. Example usage, on a sign up page, it can tell you a username is taken before you try to submit the form. The name is an acronym for Asynchronous Javascript And XML.
And here I was, when AJAX first released, I struggled to wrap my head around making it work. I didn’t last long in webdev, it just wasn’t my forte. At best I can shell script some tasks these days but I’m way too out of practice at this point.
Something something broken clocks and whatnot
Edit: to be clear, the uralnazis, not you, wasn’t sure if it lands properly in text form and figured I’d just make sure it’s clear
A side note, resting can be as simple as taking 5 minutes of your day to turn off all electronics, close your door, and sit comfortably somewhere quiet. I definitely understand the need to grind, I often find myself being a duck (calm on the surface, paddling like the devil underneath). Do take the time to do something that, even if free, does reduce stress. Sit quietly, snuggle your partner, make love, touch a bit of nature, whatever it is that makes your dopamine machine go brrrrrr. Even if you can’t afford luxuries, can barely afford food and housing, it is VITAL that you do something to make your brain produce the happy chemicals at least once a day. If you don’t, you’ll slowly fall into the type of depression that will only compound on itself.
Also, remind yourself every day, that you can only do your best. This system is designed to grind you down to the same lump of flesh as everyone else, unless you are extremely lucky, you will always be chasing the basest needs. It’s not your fault, don’t ever let society tell you that your struggles are entirely your own. Your struggles are caused by the system being designed to take everything you produce and funnel it to those who lease NEED it but those who are sick enough to hoard it.
We’re all here for you, comrade, in whatever ways we can be. Don’t forget to be here for yourself.
