your isn’t far enough in the gutter; i don’t think we can be friends. lol

Kai wynn: breathes in my child, the prophets have a plan for us, and mine includes a red jumja stick. Do you deny the sovereignty of the prophets?

:chef’s kiss: rotflmao

how do you get the skunkiness out?

indeed; this is at the exact heart of the matter.

we wouldn’t need ubi if we lived in a society where people worked because they simply wanted to.

and if only there was a certain group of people from the 19th century that had some astute observations and keen ideas about how we can revolutionize society. lol

i don’t think that it’ll be ubi as we understand it today and i don’t doubt that they’ll enshitify it as much as possible into the future since i’m also aware that both social security and unemployment were half measures intended to deter neuter revolutionary thought within the united states during the last time we had to deal with major socioeconomic changes that was pushing the country leftwards.

ubi (in whatever form it takes and at least at the beginning) will buy us time and i think that it’s a silver lining that helps alleviate the anxiety from knowing about the work that lays ahead of us when theory doesn’t provide needful encouragement; we’re human beings & americans so we need time to adjust to reality after we’ve been living in ignorance like this our entire lives and also to learn how to focus on the positives & victories no matter how small they seem to be right now.

the theory i’ve “read” so far (not much yet) doesn’t address the humanity of what the person has to go through in order to leave plato’s cave and we’re going to need silver linings and laughter to get through another trump administration; just like we did the last time things looked this bad for us.

please make kai wynn the space karen here, yelling at the jumja stuck employee immediately after coming from church (temple). lol

DS9: Deep State Nine. lol

ACAB!!! lol

they’ll all be patched soon; that’s the reason why we have security researches.

Vanilla Android: no

f-droid, lineage, et al. on an Android phone: yes with caveats.

i agree: i got a dm from my gen alpha niece the other day asking me to explain why giving tia julia’s friend money isn’t going to help them get into the country before trump takes over and to reaffirm that i’m still going to help like i promised her i would, but not in the way that they asked me to.

i think that it depends on the person’s circumstances and that the material conditions effect the way people act in relation to society.

i also think that societal progress also includes faster maturity and this is another mini-version manifested here with my 9 year old grand-niece. (assuming grand-niece is a thing a thing in english).

i’ve recently discovered a youtube channel with content a LOT like this and i wish i could find it in my subscriptions list to share it with you here.

i subscribed because they got an ancient but serviceable packard bell and upgraded is as far as it could go into windows me or 98 (i forget which) and then test drove it as a daily driver using a light weight linux distribution with the internet now.

i’ve been a youtube user for over 20 years and my subscription list is in dire need of curation and i only have 15ish minutes before the build results are available so bump up this post if any of what i just described sounds appealing to you and i can look it up.

this sounds like a nightmare without something like ubi; this is a society altering change and every time we lurch forward as a society like this, it’s been met with needless violence that gets resolved by a viable social safety net of some kind.

we should skip directly to the cure than suffering through the symptoms and create something like ubi and $22 per hour waiting on tables is probably the most direct way of making that happen within the american system.

same here.

Regardless, I doubt Dave cares about that aspect- I think Dave just doesn’t like jokes about butts poops and farts

butts, poop, and farts jokes is literally THE DEFINITION of im-14-and-this-is-funny, isn’t it? lol

Edit: I actually can’t think of a single 12-16yo who would find this funny, and I work in schools a lot

my gen-z and gen-alpha nephews and nieces also don’t find it funny anymore either and it makes me happy to recognize that we’ve progressed as a society from teenagers saying things like “that’s gay” (as in “bad”) as an insult in the 1990’s to now laughing WITH us instead; instead of AT us, when something is genuinely funny.

to be fair: we’re LITERALLY laughing at casual homophobia and someone who is unfamiliar with extra fabulous comics ally-ship could only possibly see distasteful humor without this context.

i think that it’s a bit like the recent gen z torch-and-pitchfork response to “shirley q liquor”. like rupaul suggested: they’re an ally and their shit is genuinely funny and that helps us heal by laughing at some of our biggest pervasive problems/divisions as a community; i think that something like that this is going to matter A LOT in the near future since everyone else is hellbent on lol-ing at all the leopards-at-my-face-ees. trump’s leopards are going to eat all of our faces if we don’t start helping each other instead of pointing and laughing with the schadenfreude strategy of mass coping from the election results.

also: most leftists have varying degrees of ignorance of popular culture imo and the genz’ers of tiktok were recently likewise similarly ignorant of gay popular culture from the 1990’s and tried to torch-and-pitchfork shirley-q for what they perceived as distasteful humor until rupaul weighed in on the discourse and i think that we’re having a mini-version of that here.

i need to make mine sugar free and i’m transitioning into a plant based diet so it works well for me too.

i’ve started this series on youtube named "The Anti Imperialism of Star Trek Deep Space Nine" and i learned that, once you subscribe and like a leftist channel & video that the algorithms start bombarding you with leftist videos and youtubers.

i feel like a alaskan bear during a salmon run trying to catch all the salmon it can before they all die off in mass a few days they’ve mated as i try to identify which youtuber to subscribe to and which video to click like button on as the algorithms keep showing me multiple new ones every day. lol

also: i find that melding (word play intended) in the little bits of theory that i can get from youtube alongside a life long passion; like i did for myself with star trek; makes me more eager to finish it and makes it kinda fun.

i LOVE extra fabulous comics because they’re the only ones who can make casual homophobia funny.

EDIT: i just realized that this can sound snarky; but i genuinely mean it: extra fabulous comics has a track record of being an ally while simultaneously being wildly funny.

if it’s true that “only nixon can go to china”; then extra fabulous comics can make casual homophobia funny. lol

– all lives matter too

did acab stop being a thing because of kamala?
