there are more ways to take action than to vote.

I'm just as dissolutioned with the voting system as you are, but I'm also aware that sitting around complaining and acting like you know better than everyone else is only obnoxious accomplishes nothing.

either do literally anything at all to contribute, or go find an empty room to whinge into. I'm sure you'll enjoy the echo.

and that's a reason to stop trying altogether?

edit: a word

right. I'm sure your self-righteousness, apathy and inaction are going to be a great asset when it comes to building a "better future".

[–] lady_maria 6 points 2 days ago

yes, but it's a systemic problem at its root

fun fact! you can use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as an egg replacer in baking (among other things). you could even make some hummus at the same time

why? then he wouldn't've been humbled in such a satisfying, heart-warming way. clearly, he hasn't experience that nearly enough. not to mention the sheer audacity and what is very likely to be misogyny.

prefer to have my devices muted at all times

this really intrigues me. so you also do this with movies/TV shows?

is it a sensory thing?

(practicing Spanish... don't mind me. por cierto, estoy abierta a la crítica.)

Este me intriga mucha. ¿lo haces con las películas y programas también?

¿es una cosa sensorial?

cishet is a combination of cisgender and heterosexual. both terms have been around for quite a while.

nice deflect. my actual point still stands, though.

oh look! here's yet another person who is blabbering about fascism despite the fact that they obviously don't even know what it is.

Fascism is a far right-wing ideology. Like, literally always. By definition.

TIL posting/having conversations about a characteristic of one country implies that you believe that no other countries have that same characteristic.

While I'm sure the fact that the dominance of US news and culture on the internet is probably really frustrating for non-Americans, it's pretty natural for Americans (or anyone, really) to talk about our own country and experiences... especially while having to grapple with how things have been escalating here. You're certainly free to share your own experiences.

 

A rant. FYI, this post might be a but triggering for some.

She called about ADHD. She was renewing her nursing license (though she's retired) and said she took a course on adult ADHD. She said she felt bad that she has been so ignorant about it, and that she didn’t know I was suffering all this time.

I didn't, but I wanted to say, "what the fuck do you mean you didn't know??? How????"

I literally requested help for it at like 13, but the doctor gave up on it immediately after I was on Concerta for just a few weeks because I was FORGETTING TO TAKE IT (??????). She said, "you're just depressed and anxious". Okay??? As if it's impossible to have ADHD too???

Never mind the fact that when the doctor dismissed me the first time, it took me crying to get her to even consider it the first place.

My parents didn't even say anything when she took me off of Concerta and reiterated that she thought i just had depression and anxiety. They just accepted it even though I KNEW I had it. I did the research, because no one else was going to, clearly. And I knew my feelings usually weren't taken seriously, anyway.

I was finally able to get medicated just recently. I'm 32. I appreciate her trying now, but I needed help then. My life could've been so much different if I hadn't been easily and frequently dismissed.

 
 

Apparently, the PC I was given by my employer less than a year ago is too out of date (uses Windows 10) and I have to have Windows 11 now for security reasons. I have a gaming PC, but it's my partner's, too, and it'd be a huge waste of its power and graphics card, plus it'd have to be moved. I really don't want to do that.

A new company owns the company I work for now, but still. This is not what I agreed to. Ugh. I'm so annoyed.

It's not that expensive, really ($200), but it's the principle of the matter. How long will it be before they force me to do this again, anyway??? I already get paid a shit wage.

 

One day I'll mod this game, along with the other souls games, but for now...

MC Hammer is watching you.

 

No filters were used; I promise. The colors look "normal" when it's (fire*) storming. Feel free to visit my base—a WIP—if you're in the area!

*edit: I was wrong. They're super-heated rainstorms
