There isn’t one. Goodness is not one thing, and showing compassion or thoughtfulness in one domain is no guarantee that someone isn’t a monster in another.

This is me. Wife and I both lost our jobs, fascist got elected, cat got out yesterday. Shit has been hard.

I really love the difference between how the dealer uses items and how the player does. You smash the magnifying glass and check the chamber; the dealer smashes it and looks through it, somehow seeing through the gun. The dealer cuffs you to the table; you hand the cuffs to the dealer for it to cuff itself. You turn on the mysterious device that turns a blank into a live round; the dealer simply smashes it.

It really sells that you’re dealing with some other-worldly entity that isn’t overly concerned about getting shot with a shotgun.

“Hey, people with too much money and power tend to become anti-human psychopaths. We should probably re-arrange society to avoid this problem.”

“Yeah, a dictatorship sounds like exactly the solution to that!”

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but Ad-Nauseum is a nice way to inject a ton of garbage into the data corps collect.

Ambivalent is the best word for me.

I’m finding that I will eventually resent anything I am compelled to do under threat of poverty, no matter how much I may otherwise enjoy it. Knowing that my life can be uprooted without warning if some grumpy asshole doesn’t like my work certainly doesn’t help.

All that being said, I have to admit I am more fortunate than many others with my career. At least I can do it in my pajamas with a cat on my lap. Little to no risk of permanent damage to my body from my line of work. And my salary is pretty good compared to the abysmal median pay in the US.

Right? Like in my ideal world, guns would be a hobby for weird nerds in the same way fencing is today. The one or two times I have felt like there’s even a small chance I may need to use a gun in self defense were terrifying and stressful.

Wow! Thanks for the link. You’ve brightened my evening a bit.

I hope at least a sizeable chunk of Trump voters regret voting for him. It breaks my heart to know that there are legitimately people who have paid attention to all his lies and already broken promises and still want the guy to lead the country. I don’t know how to salvage someone like that.

Let me know when he doesn’t get back up.

Nice shooting!

I’d rather not set a precedent for it being means-gated. Some people who don’t need it getting free money is an acceptable tradeoff to ensure that everyone who needs it does get it.

He takes the full value, and gives some fraction of it back.

This is a great explanation:

Truth. We will be better off as a society when/if we stop giving a shit what they think.

Mutual aid!

I think the algorithm just compares the distance between the center and your first point to the distance between the center and each subsequent point. So, for example, drawing an imperfect but centered circle will get you more points than drawing a perfect circle that’s really off center.

Fun toy!

Hard disagree. Randomly murdering fascists does not a revolution make, to say nothing of the odds of winning that fight.

Go to the gym. Be able to do cardio without dying. Work on your fitness and health. Then buy a gun. Train with it. A lot. Organize with like-minded people. Invest in community defense, look out for LGBT / immigrant / marginalized friends and family. Be prepared for violence, but keep it a last resort. When / if bullets start flying, lives with be ruined on both sides of the gun.

Hear, hear! If anything, this election has proven that we need to work on class consciousness and the Overton window. Mutual aid, direct action, protest & strike support, salting, and civil disobedience are all ways we can produce the conditions needed for positive change.

Oh shit! Reading comprehension is my passion.

Yeah, that’s much more based.
