But what can you really do? Not voting is beneficial to the open christo fascists, and the only person who has any real world shot at winning an election, for some mind melting reason Joe Biden. The same Joe Biden, who despite his kinda actually not terrible first term, is currently funding a genocide as the wold watches. It's a shit choice, but this problem isnt going to be fixed this cycle. It's like punching the clock.

Don't hate service members. Most of them are poor kids looking for a way to get to college. That said, you should absolutely criticize our military and it's leaders.

Fact check, just because I had never seen this and it's bananas... The image is real, but it was the title of talk or some nonsense. They're being "tongue in cheek" but also are they?

Actual nightmare situation

I'm not giving Biden a full pass, but inflation has struck across the globe. Why do you think we would be special?

There's a land war on in Europe, and another more recently in the middle east, tech is still confused about how to deal with a post COVID world, and just laid off hundreds of thousands of employees, refugees from climate crisis and political unrest are fleeing across the Americas, Asian and Europe, nationalism has been on the rise for nearly a decade, and here at home the GOP is in a true state of crisis, as their old guard evil white guys are dealing with the insane fascists new guys.

The world is crazy right now, but eggs are expensive, so fuck voting I guess.

I wish I had your optimism.

Sure, I've uprooted plenty. Some people have circumstances... Like a dependent parent or dependence on a job for insurance. Being human is hard for plenty of people without all the added shit.

[-] Scientician@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Sure, but that's not as easy as it sounds. Your suggestion is to leave family, friends, work, etc etc. Lots of people are tied to a location based on circumstances they can't control.

Anon... I'm sure you can't afford therapy, which is probably the biggest injustice of all here. You are worth more, and work can have dignity. Use that extra time to make money without a boss. You don't need college. Fuck the system. Learn to program or draw or make things. All of that requires time and probably money, but luckily you you have time, and there are resources on the Internet that allow you to learn on the cheap/free. You don't need their shit... You can be independent. It's hard, but your life is hard now, so what do you have to lose?

Can 100% support Al-Anon. Great program.

To add some positivity... Art is absolutely something you can make money with. It's a struggle and you're going to be poor for most of your early career, but that goes for most jobs. Make art.
