I always feel cheated as an asexual/aromantic person. We shouldn't be forced to live with roommates for the rest of our lives just because we don't want to get married, which isn't really a choice, it's just our orientation like anyone else's. It's also so much harder when neurodivergence and/or social anxiety is an issue.

No one should be forced to get married or have roommates (or both) just to keep a roof over their heads. Everyone is entitled to have a little bit of privacy and comfort in their lives, especially if they work hard for it.

I can't believe I feel like I have to justify the desire for a studio apartment with no roommates.

I know, I think this a lot when I'm on here. Especially the whole "don't vote for Biden because Israel" thing. I just saw some comments saying that Trump would be better to have as president because he's just dumber and wouldn't be able to carry out any kind of war. I honestly can't tell anymore whether a real person would actually say that.

Thanks for talking about it. It's more than I could do. It's interesting and aggravating to have spent most of your life in a certain situation, then working to help other people in that situation, then studying it...then reading a bunch of comments by people arguing over it who are so certain they're all right when it's obvious that most of them have never come close to experiencing it.

This must be what it feels like to be a lawyer and have to talk to a sovereign citizen or something.

This is so stupid.

This sounds like the opening to an SNL sketch

I think about this every day.

I thought their whole reason behind repealing Roe v. Wade was about "letting the states decide." Of course that was total bullshit, otherwise this wouldn't even be a question.

Freight trains. The funny thing is that I was never really interested in them as a kid, only once I got into my early 20s. There's tons of adults who love trains, but for some reason it's still viewed as kind of a childish interest and I'm not sure why.

The last time I drove out to watch some I was kind of disappointed though. It's been a long time, so I was actually surprised that out of hundreds of freight containers, 90% of them are now just giant Amazon logos, and the other 10% are giant Walmart logos. It kind of sucks. The engines make it worth it though.

There's a million people who grew up in the same environments who didn't to turn out to be misogynistic racist bigots though.

But there is a deeper answer, there always is.

It's just a comment on the internet

Apparently a state of emergency needs to have been declared for them to actually do anything about price gouging directly.

I read about it when Southwest airlines went completely down for a week last year over the holidays and I was stranded somewhere. Other airlines had astronomical prices and car rentals were over $500 for one day. It was disgusting. But apparently there was nothing to be done.

They need to change the rules surrounding it because they're not working. But any amount of government intervention in the economy gets conservatives screaming about "communism," or socialism, or whatever scapegoat they're using that day that they don't know the actual definition of. And yet, if there's no government intervention in the economy it's "Biden's not doing enough/Biden is personally raising gas prices every week" etc.

Of course there wasn't a single peep from them when Trump was fucking shit up, other than those "this is Biden's America" memes when Biden hadn't even taken office yet and the photos were a year old. Nothing will get done about it as long as conservatives have any say in congress. But they'll always be the one's complaining and pointing the finger at "the libruls" while profiting.
