“Digital media” is a hell of a weird way of saying “capitalism”

Not who you replied to but they could very well be in some military/government field for that to reasonably apply.

Oonga boonga brain says “survive” in majority circumstances ¯(ツ)/¯

If you’re starving and have a melon in front of you, brain probably says find a way to open and eat it.

If you’re starving, have a melon, and a person with better survival skills nearby, you’re probably going to want to befriend them.

To try to determine/posit the individual moral “nature” of a social species is silly. (◕‿◕✿)

I’ll admit I lurked a bit to see if you’re US- based and it looks like you are. Maybe instead of “Jesus Christ” you can use “Abraham Lincoln?”

Like “Abraham fucking Lincoln in a cabin made of shit logs” could be a satisfactory expression of frustration.

Any name you can remember easily could work; Billy Crystal, Woody Guthrie, Greta Thunberg, even your neighbors or pets’ names.

The others will be a bit tough since they’re so ingrained in our culture but depending how “non-religious” you intend to be you can switch to “curse/hex” and wean yourself off of that into something more secular ¯(ツ)/¯

I have one bio parent I can do that with, and I know I’m privileged to have that. To be able to confide, ask questions, seek advice, break down, or even just play cards together provides a certain level of mental safety I didn’t experience otherwise.

I only hope I can provide even a fraction of that to others; everybody deserves safe people.

Was employee happiness with wages factored into this? I would be a lot more okay dealing with bullshit music for $23/hr than I would be at $10/hr.

The other factor for this would be properly allowing accommodations for employees. Not having any escape, reprieve or say sucks, but can be managed with earbuds/earplugs or occasionally queueing up a preferred song.

McCarthyism, Southern Strategy, three letter agencies spending decades actively targeting/murdering activists; yeah it’s been rough.

Hide your hands now while you still have them

These are also the same people who prefer kids act as bullet sponges during school hours, then groom/coerce encourage the survivors just before they come of age to be rapists, pillagers, and murderers bullet sponges to fuel corporate and imperialist interests “defend the country.”

Bonus points for tossing veterans aside like trash the moment they step foot back on US soil 🤡

There’s an extra layer of schadenfreude for these pricks when the deceased are poor, brown, and/or of (nonwhite) immigrant background.

Let’s just say I wouldn’t cry reading the obituary of a forced birther. /rant

The internal human experience is far more fluid and ever-changing than we often like to admit to ourselves.

I loved specific fruit as a kid. Bananas, grapes, and watermelon? Hell yeah. Apples and honeydew? Death glare for suggesting it.

I and my sibling also got fiendish for salad and fresh vegetables but hated frozen.

I’d wager that just like with adults, every kid is different.

It starts with dissociation and eventually evolves into derealization and depersonalization before you know it ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Brain rot > being alone with my thoughts

As long as it’s not doom-scrolling it ain’t so bad

Theoretically you can spin up a used thinkpad from a yard sale and run steam. Nintendo doesn’t (legally) run on anything that’s not Nintendo branded ¯(ツ)_/¯

That’s higher than federal minimum wage! You generous bastard 😄

Anne Feeney, Woody Guthrie, and Pete Seeger.

For me personally, anything times 5 can be reached by halving the number, then multiplying that number by 10.

Example: 66 x 5 = Y

• (66/2) x (5x2) = Y
  • cancel out the division by creating equal multiplication in the other number
  • 66/2 = 33
  • 5x2 = 10
• 33 x 10 = Y
• 33 x 10 = 330
• Y = 330

I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos

One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.

Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.
