You missed my point, but yes. I am well aware it is a privilege and that many cannot leave. That said, the barrier isn’t as high as you might think. My childhood friend is a Florida school teacher. Low pay , high debt and bankrupt twice. She’s leaving at the end of the year and already has a job lined up. My cousin with a government job is taking a position in Germany. The middle class can leave fairly easily.

But 30% of voting age Americans would still vote for him because he’s arresting brown people they don’t know.
I made peace with my country
Though I never could believe
Somebody else’s struggle
Is the reason that I fleeCan you carry more
If you leave me back?
What’s left to take?
Who’s lives come last?– Excerpts from “Reverend” by Greensky Bluegrass
These lines from a brand new bluegrass song of all things have been living rent free in my mind. I’m not particularly oppressed, but witnessing the oppression of others has me wanting to leave. Once we run off all the immigrants, and all the people like me leave, will the people who vote for fascism and hatred in this country be able to keep it all from falling apart?
- Comment on GOG.com gives away free horny games to protest credit card company censorship 3 days ago:
I read up a little on what’s on offer and it seems that the Leap of Faith game is actually quality, story driven, and deals with heavy subjects like bipolar depression , body image problems and more.

- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 5 days ago:
This is a really old jpeg. If I remember correctly it was meant as a protest joke against NFTs. NFTs claim was that each was unique and couldn’t be copied or something, someone replied with this quick doodle on paper saying that this was original, unique, and truly could not be copied and he’d part with it for a measly $5,000,000.
Paraphrasing a lot, but that was the gist of it. I cropped it and added the text for the memes.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 days ago:
The United States is a VERY litigious country. The biggest motivator in America is profit, and the possibility of lawsuits is contrary to profit. Fucking over indie devs selling niche games that makes a few bucks on Steam is a lot cheaper than the legal expenses of a lawsuit and the bad press of “Mastercard funds child pornography”.
It isn’t about fairness. It’s about profit.
- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 5 days ago:
They are both telling the truth, which is how the best lies work.
Mastercard: “It’s all good as long as it it legal”.
Religious zealots: “Games depict sex with children!!!”
Steam/Itch: “Which games?”
Zealots: “Yes”
Mastercard: “Sex with children is illegal. Get rid of those games.”
Steam/Itch: “Which games???”
Mastercard: “That’s a you problem. Figure it out and get rid of them or lose the ability to process payments.”
Steam/Itch: *pulls most NSFW games while they figure out “which games”.

- Comment on How did you decide what you generally wanted to do with your life? 1 week ago:
I think the best advice I can give is "stay focused, alert, and highly flexible. I certainly did not end up where I thought I was going to go.
- At 16 I wanted to study psychology.
- At 17 (college freshman) I studied philosophy assuming I’d go into law like my father.
- I graduated with a finance degree
- At 21 I began a career in IT (sysadmin) by turning my hobby into a job
- At 26 I began mixing my love of information security, and backgrounds in finance and law.
- At 31 I started my own company because my field was too niche to justify working for only one company
- At 52 I shitpost in Lemmy while trying to keep this country’s shit infrastructure from collapsing.

It will be porn. I guarantee it.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 1 week ago:
In Lemmy, there are dozens of us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t recruit people we know who are on Facebook, Instagram, Xitter, Bluesky, TikTok, etc.

- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 week ago:
It’s not difficult to imagine what kind of expression these groups might decide to deem as unacceptable next.
Literally the bottom line. They have found something that works, and they are going to use and abuse it.

12-14 year olds are savage. The lack of restraint, common sense and decorum of a child while simultaneously roid raging and horniest.

I just ate a burrito drowned in apricot-habanero hot sauce which I further modified by adding extra habaneros and red thai chilis. I’m pretty sure capsaicin was meant to deter mammals from eating hot peppers.

- Comment on The Rise and Fall of the Knowledge Worker 3 weeks ago:
Before blaming AI, blame companies who decided to outsource as much as possible to the lowest priced options, regardless of quality. Once those options became “cost prohibitive” (read, not cheap enough to satisfy shareholders), only then did the rush to develop AI truly begin.

It only stops being a hot dog when it comes out of your ass as it is no longer encased.
- Comment on YSK: if you are visiting Puerto Rico from the mainland US, you can sign up to escort a rescue animal on your return flight to their adopter 3 weeks ago:
They kind of have their own breed going on on the island.
I believe they are called “sato” which basically means “mutt”.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying that one should never be surprised that the UK is trying compete in the fascist olympics given that they held the title of grand champion for so long.
