So every third video is going to be a beheading or medical gore?

The moment he takes away protections for race is the moment I stop hiring white people.

In my industry, black people typically have lower salary expectations and have worked harder to get where they are.

can I bum a fag?

Only with consent. And if you're lucky, he'll return the favor.

I like Spotify. I don't often want to listen to an album. I want to listen to a vibe. It's good for that, and for introducing me to new bands and music.

But yeah, if you're just using it to listen to one album at a time, and you know which album you want, then you're using the wrong service.

Be connected to your local society. Join a group. Do things. Meet people.

Some people in the near future will start to suffer a lot. They're going to need caring neighbors they can trust.

We've been cultivating weed for generations to increase the potency. It'll take time for this other plant to catch up, but not long.

Why? Capitalism consolidated wealth into just a few companies and people. Those people want to be in charge, so they bribe politicians and help them win. The kind of politicians that will take a bribe care more about consolidating their power than representing the people. They rework the government to make it easier to stay in power. This is fascism.

It's practically a straight line.

There are plenty of ways to mitigate this and protect against it, which the US had. These were systematically dismantled over the years and no one stopped it.

Of course. My point is that until you know the guy, stop hating on him, because you don't know what his deal is.

I already am. I've started meeting people in my community and joining local aid groups to help out people who are falling through the cracks. I've gone to school meetings and pushed back on the screechy mom's against reason.

Not everyone needs to burn down buildings. Not everyone should. Just pushing against the bad stuff and making them work for every inch helps.

I live in the US and I'm also boycotting Florida. We used to go to Disney a couple times a year, and my kids miss it, but I'm not getting accidentally caught up in that crazy.
