I loathe this runaway capitalist system we live in just as much as the next but this violent rhetoric is getting a bit too spicy. Let’s tax the owning class into oblivion. Take away their undeserved wealth and make them work for a living like the rest of us. Riot and rebel if our lives depend on it. But these calls for the outright slaughter of other human beings are going too far.

I need to see the nativity scene version of this! But with Xi’s old face on baby Jesus.

These corporate media companies are all the same and are a blight upon our society.

As if the Republican party isn’t already screaming that message loud and proud on the daily

I think that’s an unfair assessment based on negative stereotypes and only really serves to legitimatize the behavior you’re referring to.

What happens when the government figures out who is in possession of the death note and arrests them/confiscates the death note? I don’t know what’s scarier, some rogue nobody with the death note or the United States Government.

Time to learn Linux!

Nobody gets a free pass for breaking laws in America

You might want to check your notes on that one…

I decided that I personally felt unethical bringing people into this world nearly a decade ago

My dad does the opposite of mansplaining, he explains things using terminology and concepts that are way above my level of understanding and gets frustrated when I ask too many clarifying questions or when I struggle to catch on.

It fucked with me pretty bad growing up and in an effort not to put other people through that I tend to assume people know little about esoteric subjects I’m talking about and try to explain things in a way the general layperson would understand. If they let on that they seem familiar with the subject then I adjust but I do often worry I’m coming off as being condescending :⁠-⁠\

I avoid self checkouts unless the lines at the cashier checkouts are unreasonable.

Half the time I go through one of those I get hit with an error that I’ve then gotta wait on the attendant to fix. The other half I get bogged down by the stupid process like how you’ve got to put the item down on the bagging area before you can scan another one or how you can interact with the card reader to pay but the transaction will not complete until you select a payment type on the main screen. Lately, I’ve noticed some trying to trick me into signing up for rewards or some bullshit.

Much easier to just dump my stuff on the conveyor belt and have the cashier handle everything else.

Why are people still using that dumpster fire?

“But we need your children to grow up and produce product and more children so that we can continue the cycle of funneling the value they create into the pockets of our society’s most wealthy and well connected!”

I moved to Portland over a year ago and I’d say about 25% of people at the grocery stores here are still wearing masks to this day and nobody makes a fuss about it. It’s been great.
