Notcontenttobequiet [he/him]

I’m going to assume the context of this is old machines that still run Windows XP or something that are connected to expensive equipment with proprietary software. We have these at my job and if a computer broke, we had to buy a Windows xp build on ebay because our IT department laughed at us and was like “this is not our area and you are not networking any of these pc’s” I love the sign though haha

When I was in college, my group of friends were mostly libs and libertarians (I know) and the mother of one of these people once went on a rant in front of us about how Hamas and Hezbollah were going to team up and destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. After we left the house, I remember all of us just laughing at her and saying “what a fucking stupid take that was” despite not necessarily having the same opinions about Israel or having good opinions on anything else. But, we all knew this was stupid.

Having not read the article or knowing much about Lebanon, I’m going to assume this is still an extremely stupid and desperate thing to posit?

“when you come out your shit is gone, I’m in your area”

🎶I crashed my car into the bridge, I don’t care! I love Israel, I don’t care!

You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space You’re so damn hard to please, we gotta kill these kids

You’re from the campuses, but I’m a zionist 🎵

This is the summary / rant I needed right now

The election is Joever

Gotta bring up the fake genocide while ignoring and enabling the real one.

Love them. Somone on Hexbear recommended them to me

They are good shit

Lots of people suggesting thrifting. One suggestion I have there is to go with someone who is “good” at it for lack of a better term. I have a friend who is a thrift queen and she routinely finds things that are great whereas I can almost never find the good stuff!

Me when I talk to libs: “sorry sweaty, you can’t believe any of the news that comes out of China, it’s all propaganda”

Meanwhile, news in America. Manufacturing consent for genocide and war 24/7.

Ryan Grim news for the Democrats

Can’t wait until Biden loses Michigan to Trump and it costs him the electoral college!

I like this a lot

I really wanted to post that emoji, but in all seriousness, this is a really interesting observation. I think in some cases it could be some of them trying to deal with their own fucked up childhoods. And then they impose some other kind of misery on the next generation, while pining for some ideal childhood they never had. Generational abuse / trauma on a minor scale maybe?

A story from just yesterday that made me irrationally angry:

Ultra chud at my workplace, drives a massive $60k+ truck, brings in his Black rifle coffee Co thermos every day. You get the idea… A group of us were talking about shoveling snow and he literally says “I don’t ever need to worry about EVER doing that because I have two sons and I make them do it!” and laughs of course. Probably if someone else had said it, it would have been said with more levity and I could have laughed it off. But with this guy, I could just tell, he wanted to make these kids miserable. They need to learn how to become MEN so they don’t get to have a snow day, they get to shovel for dad!

Another anecdote: dealing with some family issues in regards to my grandfather being shitty to my mother and her siblings. Mom and aunt upset, but dealing with everything with poise and dignity. Uncle, tantrums, anger, drinking, bringing up 50 year old daddy issues. Surprise, surprise, He’s politically the most conservative one in the family…

Feels like mommy and daddy issues all around that get passed on down the line. Gets worse and more twisted and bizarre as material conditions deteriorate and suburban fascism intensifies.

Libs are in copium mode already. The few I talked to about this have come back with several responses:

-“too early, people aren’t paying attention and just looking to blame Biden”

-“Democrats are winning elections elsewhere”

-“Trump may be winning in the primaries, but he’s not in the spotlight and 15% of Republicans won’t vote for him”

-“if Trump gets charged that will spotlight his crimes”

I really want to know why the programmers decided on"melon" to kill the game

Yes for now, but they will eventually have to sell said houses to pay for end of life care. And then who is going to be able to afford to buy them? Fucking banks.
