CylustheVirus,

“I don’t actually smell bad, you’ve just been socialized to believe that.”

Please touch grass, shower, and apply deodorant.

CylustheVirus,

Wew lad but can you ever tell this is .ml.

So, thought experiment for you. What do you need to overthrow a government and oust a bunch of rich assholes from power? Well, you need power of your own, right? You need loyal comrades.

And say you actually manage it. Chances are it was tough. Some didn’t make it. But now you’re sitting on all this wealth and power. Are you just going to give it back? To who? What if someone abuses it?

You’re the one who did the work. You’re the one with a vision for the future. And now you have these loyal comrades and surely they deserve something for their sacrifices and hard work?

And so it goes.

Anyway, it’s less about Communism as a set of ideas and more about what power does to revolutionaries and how that mixes with the local culture.

Or the CIA made it all up because Mao and Stalin et al did nothing wrong. 🙄

CylustheVirus,

And nothing of value was lost.

CylustheVirus,

The only thing that guarantees Bitcoin’s worth is thoughts and prayers.

The US government has aircraft carriers.

CylustheVirus,

A powerful entity backs the USD is the point. Military might provides a certain level of stability. It’s not about forcing the use of the dollar; you don’t have to.

Bitcoin is hot air and a poor use of electricity.

CylustheVirus,

This is an eminently reasonable ruling and I’s appreciates yous

CylustheVirus,

Not a meme, just an opinion over a picture.

Florida approved rules that prohibit diversity, equity and inclusion spending and remove sociology from general education at community and state colleges (eu.gainesville.com)

The established rules follow Gov. Ron DeSantis’s conservative target on education in the state, where he signed a DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) law last year that dismantles such programs in public colleges and universities while making changes to the post-tenure review process for faculty....

CylustheVirus,

Oooh, I think I can explain this. Conservatism demands adherence to a an extremely homogeneous model of living. They’ve constructed this giant house of cards that relies on it. Accepting deviations from these norms calls into question a variety of foundational conservative beliefs. They effectively can’t question the status quo else everything falls apart.

The only option for them is to make LGBTQ people an unacceptable, dangerous other. Because if queer folk are normal people who just want to be allowed to exist, if there is no sweeping gay agenda, if maybe they read their holy book wrong … they’ve been behaving like assholes, for decades, for no good reason.

Their core identities would take an unacceptably heavy blow, so they have no choice but to double down. Well, that’s the case for the ones that care about internal consistency.

Some of them just want an excuse to be cruel to a group too small to fight back.

CylustheVirus,

We have a self inflicted real estate speculation problem. Housing can be a good investment or it can be affordable, but not both.

CylustheVirus,

We evolved anxiety and they evolved flight. I’d be smug too.

CylustheVirus,

I have a psych undergrad degree and I never heard anything like this. It’s one theory, not the zeitgeist of an entire discipline.

CylustheVirus,

Their entire species was created as a magical weapon. The funny thing they’re really supposed to represent the cruelties of industrialization. Tolkien was not a fan of what England did with technology.

CylustheVirus,

They don’t have a meaningful level of free will from what I understand. That’s part of the process of creating them. They only act within certain boundaries or else resort to raiding and eating… everything. And everyone. Occasionally each other.

CylustheVirus,

Yes, the lack of humor is the issue. It’s banter OP, chill.

CylustheVirus,

Are you ok? Because I wouldn’t be mainlining that much doom.

CylustheVirus,

MOMMA MIA

CylustheVirus,

God I hate “screen time” discourse. Not all activity that happens on a screen is of equivalent value.

CylustheVirus,

Oh yes, it was just that because Britain has treated its colonies so well throughout history. /S

CylustheVirus,

Santa has world class ICE at the North Pole. And cooling is very cheap there, so he gets a lot of extra performance out of his hardware.

CylustheVirus,

Depending on your perspective of time, none of them did. All of them happened and are as much a part of reality as any other moment. We may have moved past those moments, but that’s only an artifact of our relative position in the timeline.

CylustheVirus,

Fun game, bought it years ago and really enjoyed it.

CylustheVirus,

I hear Mint is great if you want something simpler.

CylustheVirus,

Journaling is very helpful for organizing your thoughts and subjecting them to conscious review. It can be harder to get a handle on them if they are unconscious and just bouncing around in your mind.

It may well be that nothing much about your life needs to change, or you may feel a need to take control of the situation by doing something for the victims or a cause to support. Either way, the process of documenting and organizing your thoughts in writing is extremely helpful.

CylustheVirus,

Parasocial relationships and extremely niche content. Many girls will do specific roleplays. You want a girl to fart on a cake while calling you James Baxter? Someone will. Hell, someone probably specializes in it.

CylustheVirus,

Well. The Hawaiian Islands were all once on Hot Spots but I don’t think Zucc is in the big island.
