With depression, I’ll take every win I can get.
If that is just a small reprieve from the existential dread of a potential Trump win…?
Or the anxiety over needing to vote today, dealing with the crowds, getting my ballot cast, even with the rest of the shit storm on the horizon…
I’ll still take what I can get for now.
I’ll be there when I’m called upon but know that some of us are already fighting our own battles.
Please take me to Isengard, with the hobbits…
My part in this battle is done, the war is far from over.
This one is over for me at least, and for now that’s enough, but tomorrow is another day.
After Trumps assassination attempt, allowing you to buy as many guns and as much ammo is as you want is not a certainty.
In reality I would do what most people would and just keep to myself…
Just thought I would add some comedy to the thread 😎
Capitalism has destroyed the middle class and absorbed all of the wealth...
No one has disposable income to upgrade to a phone that has no major feature changes over the one that came out over 5 years ago.
Until workers are seen as assets rather than expenditures, the enshittification of all facets of life under capitalism will continue to get worse.
Yeah, it's an hour walk one way to that store...
Where I live owning a car is a requirement :(
I live in rural Oklahoma...
Here are my walking distances: * To the nearest convenience store: 4.667km * To the nearest chain supermarket: 24.140km * To the bus stop: 27.358km * To the nearest park: 321.869m * To the nearest *big* supermarket: 33.7962km * To the nearest library: 32.1869km * To the nearest train station: 70.8111km
I get what you mean. I am 100% behind any humans right to be whoever they want to identify as. I am also not naive to the fact that hormones do alter muscle density and development.
I am not an expert, but I do have critical thinking skills.
That being said, I feel like if a trans person wants to participate in sports with cis gender of the same sex, maybe they need to have their hormones monitored to be in line with the average of that gender for a decent period of time so they don’t have hormone based advantages?
If anyone has a better suggestion, please by all means, let me know. That idea is the best one I could personally come up with while defending the trans community from a co-worker that leans very far right and brings up pedos claiming being trans to go to opposite gender bathrooms and trans people having unfair advantage in sports after some body builder claimed to be trans and got world records even tho it was obvious that person was doing it specifically to get the unfair advantage…
Is there a good reason we don’t just unplug the fucking cable in the data center that connects Russia to the rest of the world?
If they want to play stupid games, let them make their own internet, with corruption and lies.
