I vote third party which, I’m told, means I’m actually voting for one of the big 2 candidates. But which big 2 that is depends on who you ask. So really, every time I vote for one person I’m voting for three. Do you vote for three people with one vote like me? I think not. Step up your game.

the red sun rising in the sky is china’s artificial sun

the sun rising in my heart is still mao zedong, though. always was

they had books on there? i steal mine from irc

no this is not a bit

women hold up half the bonks

if you know an easier way to get colon cancer and heat stroke at the same time then enlightenment me otherwise i think my method is pretty efficient

yeah thats thursday for me

if china did this it would be hysteria

hell, its hysteria when china re-educates extremists and gives them trade skills, which as we all know is the worst thing you can do to a people

Anything but re-education. Wouldn’t want to be like China. Those awful commies who re-educate extremists and put them through trade school. BUT AT WHAT COST?

i wish i was paid in beef

the cages are gilded now what do you want

same i dont think ive ever felt any real romantic attraction to a big hairy guy but then again ive been involved in a monogamous relationship for almost 20 years now so its not like i spent a ton of time in scenarios where i was around guys like that trying to rizz me up or whatever

im generally attracted to the feminine in a traditional way (my love has curves and all that) but i can see the beauty in almost all people so i think were i single id be out there just leaving the door ajar in my heart for whatever came my way and felt right and i think the world is better the more of us can do that

realizing the worst thing that could happen is you figure out its not for you and then just move on is liberating not just in love but in a lot of other things in life too

sure i mean what matters most to me is the emotional connection and stuff

all im saying is that were i on the scene for a partner my options would be open

the older you get the more you dont give a fuck about a ton of stuff in life trust

Baby would have been born in '06. That makes it very unlikely the parents were Millennials. Most likely Gen X’ers unless they were young like 20. Most people don’t have kids when they are 20. Also the kid is 1 and a half. She’s malding that a 16 month old doesn’t have good impulse control or manners. No shit, you don’t say.

Always avoided it. Have lost a few friends to it directly or they died for other reasons that are junkie related. My heart goes out to you and your struggle. I’ve witnessed this struggle and understand it as much as a non-junkie can.

I want to say, however, not to mourn your past self. We all have a past self. Sometimes our past self was better in many ways. My past selves were more naive but also more open and more trusting. More optimistic. It’s okay. Who we are today is not who we will be tomorrow. Change comes for us all and there is no stopping it. Find positive change and try and embrace that. Fight for it, even, because with addiction it won’t come easily or for free.

I also want to say that most of my friends also probably thought nobody cared when they were ODing. I remember them. Who they were. Who they became. I miss them. They meant something to me and others. Even people I knew who passed who weren’t friends. People I spent time with in activist spaces. One name comes to mind. She was a beacon of light and now gone. I don’t think she knew people would travel over 1000 miles to go to her funeral. That it would be attended by local leaders, homeless, sex workers, and family all.

There are people out there for you. Waiting on you. They are willing to accept whatever is left if you can find the strength to do the work. I think you have the strength. I believe in you. Whatever is left when you succeed is good enough. You just have to get through it.

reminds me that the worst fear of the capitalist class is that they might have to become workers themselves

the older i get the more i realize that if i was single id date just about anyone if i made the right emotional connection with them

the rest is just rubbing skin and you can figure out how to do that in ways you both like

not sure what orientation that is and dont really care life is too short

absolutely would die if this was a gay bar just looking to find more discreet tops for their patrons

I mean imagine my face when this socdem did more praxis than I ever will :(

would you rather associate with someone who gets all lame when talking about communism but beats the everliving fuck out of actual fascists or someone who talks a big game about communism but never even spit on a fash?

In Florida we have the most dangerous tree in the world. Sap drips on you? Chemical burns. Can’t stand under it during a rain. Even droplets of rain that slide off the tree will blister your skin. Burn it? Don’t breathe in the smoke or get it in your eyes. You can go blind or do permanent damage to your lungs. The fruit can also kill you. If you eat it your guts will bleed out.

Stay away from the Machineel Tree. Enjoy it from a distance.

Is this not a leftist space? People in this space makes these assumptions. Women in this space. But more so I see leftist content creators even well known feminists discuss this and their opinion is no better than a tradwife content creator. It really is an assumption.

But these issues even persist into relationships among leftist couples; well beyond the public acquaintance or courting stages. The lack of communication skills transcends the reasons you give. Like I said, I feel both men and women are pretty poor with communication in general. I don’t really think one is worse than the other. I think on the emotional availability though, men are getting a lot of flak when really they are doing much better than is commonly said.
