I mean, anything over about 1000 USD would be a big help, I had to make an unexpected visit to a sick parent that really set back my short term goals.

10k would be a nice emergency fund and I could start focusing again on things like moving to a better place (moving is expensive).

100k would mean freedom to get any transition-related surgeries I want without hassling with insurance. Or it could be rolled into a home purchase or retirement.

Currently my income isn't great, but I can pay my bills with savings to spare, even in a nicer apartment or home.

Came here to say this.

winners: arms manufacturers and dealers, "defense" industry, military-industrial complex

losers: soldiers, civilians

IIRC there's a transparent version of the Fairphone 5. Not that it's as aesthetically interesting inside as older tech, more of a statement about the device's modular design.

using term 'communist' in context of progressive far-left socialism

Really?! I made a ridiculously tongue-in-cheek comment, but of all the vile implications of blaming a single minority group for destroying the world, this was your rebuttal?

extremist organization

Of course, why did nobody ever think of targetting the President of Homosexual International?! Perhaps a drone strike? I bet he's hiding in a school or hospital somewhere in Ukraine.

Can we not blame gay Jews?

Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony

Bought a dozen yesterday, ate four. No regrets!

cuz a hoe tell everybody

Fair! My mom always refused to use them.

I didnt for the longest time, until the day my friend went through self c/o and took about two minutes, while I took 15 min in the slow lane. Which honestly was less about the employees and more about shoppers who cant figure out how to pay for the two carts worth groceries they got...

and how long does it take you to find that thing or three?

lol kinda joking but kinda not. Every time I went in there for something, it had mysteriously moved halfway across the store and employees didn't seem to know where...

yeeeeah. They'll have to hire people to work the checkout lanes in that case... which means paying enough to compete with other employers who offer more. Case in point, here it's like 12/hr here to work in a grocery, vs 16/hr at Amazon. But even if they do this, people will still shoplift. Self checkout didn't create the problem, it rather treats everyone like a suspect.

The grocery I go to never has more than one staffed checkout lane at any time, typically a very long line of people too old, too stubborn, or with too many items to do it themselves. During the day it's 8 or 16 self-checkout lanes (minus broke ones), and they close in the evening, so everyone is forced to use the slow staffed checkout.

for real, condescending take by the other commenter. They have no idea the resolve it took to put myself in that situation. I can't help that I was out of place, except if I had refused to even go? What would that have accomplished?

eh, mighty presumptuous of you, who weren't even there. How would you know?

I sat there after being left to struggle on my skates by the people I went with, falling a dozen times, alone - and that was actually the best part, in that moment I did have fun, and it was random strangers who encouraged me and had a laugh with me.

But in a huge room with so many people all moving in different directions, lights flashing in the dark, loud music, it was very overwhelming and disorienting. I had trouble recognizing people, and I sat there because all our stuff was there, and I knew they would come back eventually.

It just wouldve been nice to have someone take my hand and help me onto the rink. I asked for that, and they knew I couldn't skate, but it was more important for them to get practice and show off.

ugh. Friend convinced me to go roller skating last night.

Felt just like an alien. For so many reasons; I do not belong there. Can't skate, can't socialize, so I just sat there watching the people who can. Only good thing is I can tell my therapist I tried

That's right, I may be having a breakdown but at least I'm gonna be comfy and look cuuute :3

Limiting what structures can be built/open and where isn't oppression, it's standard government policy everywhere on earth. People can still believe whatever they want.

Only discriminatory if it favors one group over another, so ban them all.

Yep he is a murdering murderer who committed murderous murder against a murderless murderee who was murdered by said murder.

Fyi did you know murderee was a word? I just learned this.

I heard he was holding what appeared to be a weapon

(further investigation revealed it was a toothbrush)
