Skin is just a lazy way of seeing “the other”. If we all, worldwide, collectively fucked our way to a uniform pigment, we would just find another way to define “the other”.
- Comment on YSK that in 16 States in the USA has banned Ranked-Choice voting, including 5 that has just banned it in 2025, and 6 of those bans happened in 2024. 1 week ago:
The link gives some arguments. It’s mostly stupid right wing claptrap.
Opponents of ranked-choice voting argue that it benefits voters with more time and information, leads to decreased voter confidence in elections, and disconnects voting from important issues and debates. Opponents of ranked-choice voting also argue that RCV winners do not necessarily represent the will of the voters.
It goes on to giving statements for those reasons from such respectable organizations as The Heritage Foundation, so do what you want with that.

I’m not who you replied to, but I didn’t, don’t, think property taxes in general go towards the federal budget.

Sleep test -> C(or V)PAP machine. I snored horribly before getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a CPAP, although especially annoying for a week or so, made a world of difference.

- Comment on Pakistan says India fired missiles at 3 air bases inside country. Pakistani retaliation underway 3 weeks ago:
They both seem to need to have the last word. Maybe they can agree to launch missiles at each other at the same time, and call it a tie.

“New”
- Comment on OMG no please don’t call me. 4 weeks ago:
I fucking hate people in general, and do all I can not to interact with people if I don’t have to. But if I have to talk to someone, I’d rather drive 20 minutes and talk face to face than deal with any type of phone or video interaction. That said, I’d much rather just have a quick chat or email to get the same thing done.
- Comment on CEOs when an AI agent ($5/hour) can't output the work of five highly qualified human workers (250$/hour) 4 weeks ago:
In my experience, most workers would do at least as good a job in upper management, but the reverse is not true at all.

You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl, arise
And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize
I’ll still be here as strong as you
And I’ll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)
- Comment on To whom it may concern 5 weeks ago:
It wasn’t too long ago that I did it. Maybe 8-10 years ago. I realized nothing I needed came in the mail, so I just stopped checking. At one point the postman literally just took all the junk mail and dumped it on my front step. I raised holy hell with the post office about littering, after jamming it all back into the outgoing mail. I think the way the postmaster did it, instead of dealing with my assholeness, was just setting my residence to unoccupied in or something along those lines. Spam, of all sorts (aside from Spam musubi) is just a fucking drag. Like all marketing and advertising.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it got so bad I was worried I was going to rage on the delivery driver (for what it’s worth, I support the USPS and have not heard a legitimate argument about why it should be stopped. But fucking junk mail. I know it accounts for a chunk of their income, there has got to be a better way. Like making the price of every single piece of junk mail that is delivered to me is $10. Something. Cut out junk mail and only have delivery 4 days a week. Not consecutively.
But yeah, to get back to your question. I talked to the Postmaster at the local Post Office and they had me write and sign a piece of paper saying,“I DON’T WANT THIS SHIT NO MORE!”. The trouble it caused in my life was absolutely dwarfed by the positive of not having to deal with that shit anymore.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 5 weeks ago:
USPS got so pissed at me for just leaving my junk mail in the box. I told them over and over I didn’t need trash delivered to my place. In the end, I just stopped all USPS deliveries. I had nothing of importance coming in through the mail.
- Comment on California overtakes Japan to become fourth largest economy in world 5 weeks ago:
And we keep sending tax money to welfare red states that bitch about us. We also have this great economy, yet can’t seem to build a high speed train network no matter how much money we spend. In addition to a fucking ridiculous housing market crisis that could be addressed with some highly progressive tax structures on dwelling ownership. But, yay us, I guess. Our fast-food workers get at least $20 an hour. I’m not sure why a “liveable wage” is only important to fast-food workers, but they were also considered critical workers during the pandemic, and that minimum wage is still below where it should be, taking historical inflation into place.

- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 1 month ago:
I enjoy Lemmy for the most part, but this popular narrative that you continue to correctly point out gets so tiring on here. The self-ownership, or self-sabotage by these self-righteous, elementary level critical thinking skills having, non-voters is sickening. If I didn’t vote, I wouldn’t take it as some moral victory against a fucked up system, I’d just accept my apathy.

since YT started the “shorts” bullshit. Highly recommended if you are civilized person who is not OK with vertical videos.
- Comment on History never repeats itself but it rhymes 1 month ago:
I feel like so much of the disagreement about racism in the US in social media, is a difference between society at large and individuals. Most people aren’t racist (over the top so. However, I alsothink everyone probably has some sliver, however slim, of racism in them). If you travel around this globe of ours, some countries do suck more than others, but people are, for the most part, pretty friendly and welcoming.
That said, I think it’s insincere to believe that the historical trauma of the history of the US has not had lasting generational/racial negative effects.
If I think someone is saying I’m racist because I’m white, I dig in my heals a bit and think, if not say, what the fuck? If I think they are talking about systemic inequality in general, the history, the current data, etc., then I’ve been getting better and better at not having that blood pressure rise in defense and starting from a point that we probably agree on a lot, and just may have differences in how to address the problem.

That is the one that’s killing me too. I just received an email that my subscription date is coming up. I want to cancel, at least my soul really wants me to cancel. But my broken body, limited $$, and limited mobility makes me feel like it would be cutting of my nose. It is really difficult to get to, never mind around, local stores.

- Comment on Fucking leeches 2 months ago:
…what different paths have been taken? Certainly not enacting a tax code that would make multiple unit ownership progressively unfeasible. That’s just a start. Of course, that would take the electorate to actually be educated and informed in their voting and stop reelecting these geriatric ghouls on both sides of the aisle. To be fair (to be faaaiiiirr) I share a lot of your nihilism.

Your sarcastic inability to see a different path does not mean a different path doesn’t exist.
