If only they’d had a policy in place!

Just tell them political ideology is a choice. What they’re doing isn’t natural, and you don’t want filth like that around. There could be children nearby that will be tempted into fascism so if they want to live like that, they need to hide it.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

I mean, you could for a little bit. Once.

It’s not quite so black and white, though.

My spouse and I both work for a living, and we’d be in a hard spot if either of us lost our jobs. We also own 3 rental properties, and I have a military pension. We also own a farm where we raise 6 cows and enough chickens to have some eggs to sell.

So, we get most of our money from our labor, the rental properties pay for themselves most of the time but we don’t pool that with our personal money…it’s for the mortgages, taxes, maintenance and to cover for when we don’t have renters (which is almost never…weird how that happens when you aren’tcharging exploitative rents).

We sell eggs and make a small profit on those, but not enough to support ourselves…same with the beef…it’s mostly for us and family to eat (because fuck factory farming) but if we don’t have the freezer space we’ll sell the extra as well. That makes us both labor and capital… and my pension and military retirement benefits are basically as close to socialism as we’ll get in the US anytime soon, the biggest difference being I had to earn it.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

My BIL lives on the farm and takes care of feeding the livestock and keeping the pasture cleaned up. Otherwise, it’s just family helping family. We’re in the middle rebuilding part of the chicken coop now on the weekends. I say farm, but it’s more a ranch… we only grow hay and its only about 10 acres, so it’s not a huge burden with all of us working together.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Oh, believe me…I am well aware of my privilege and spend a lot of time trying to question my own motivations… especially around the rental properties. I do feel like rental homes are generally exploitative towards the renters, but the 1st property kinda fell into our laps, and the other 2 were situations where we we were using our credit to help the rentersbgetninto a house they wanted but couldn’t finance due to their credit. Basically, they picked the house, we bought it, and they rent it from us while we report their on-time payments to rebuild their credit.

I definitely wasn’t born with a silver spoon…was homeless myself several times as a kid and for a while immediately after moving out on my own. Joined the military as it seemed the best way out for me at the time. Wrecked my knees and fucked my brain but at least they’re paying me for the trouble. Now we’re in the privileged, if often uncomfortable, role of being better off than most of our friends and peers. We still struggle some months, and it feels like we’re barely making ends meet for the last year or so, so I KNOW everyone else is hurting. Even aside from our current financial state, I’m a cishet white veteran living in a very red state. About the only privileges I don’t have here are being a lefty and an athiest, and even with all that, it still feels like I’m hanging on by a thread. When I imagine dealing with the state of the world today in the socioeconomic conditions I was experiencing when I was younger, I’m not sure I’d have endured.

Even being better off than most is pretty fucking hard these days.

I find it fascinating how the lettering in all the AI images is like trying to read in a dream. Sometimes, it’ll get a few letters right then decend into madness, and sometimes you just get whatever is on that can of beans.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

I’ve fucked this up a few times and snapped at my kids for things that it isn’t reasonable to expect of them. It’s really hard when they show maturity beyond their age and developmental level in some aspects because you can almost forget they aren’t fully developed and so the behavior can feel intentional. Like you get this flash of thinking, “I know the kid knows this is wrong,” and if you aren’t mindful in that moment, you can handle it wrong.

I have always made sure to calm myself down and then go talk to them about it. I apologize for losing my temper and, with an emphasis on how what I did was NOT ok, explain what I was feeling and why it made me react inappropriately. I’m pretty big on making them understand that adults are fallable and make mistakes, too.

I don’t know…it feels like it’s working well.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

That mirrors my own childhood as well. It’s actually things like like standing up when I wouldn’t have expected it. As an example, I’ve overheard my preteen chastising her friends for talking about someone behind their back. Another example is our 2nd grader bringing home an assignment the other day where she was supposed to write what she wanted to be when she grew up, and her answer was “kind.”

Like holy shit kid… they’re both miles ahead of where I was at their ages around topics of justice and the skills it takes to maintain social cohesion, and they’re so much braver than I was and willing to use their social capital to stick up for people that can’t themselves. Then they’ll come home and get in a fight with each other over a spot on the couch or something insignificant like that.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

100% agree. My childhood is a haze of physical and psychological abuse… not just between the parents and kids but between the adults as well. If I’m proud of anything, it’s the success I’ve had breaking that cycle. I slip up sometimes, but I can honestly say I’ve never called either of my kids hurtful names or laid a hand on them in anger.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Yup… everyone thinks they’re above average

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Man…even the word “job” feels like a meme now.

Looks like watered-down laundry detergent. Imagine that; you can clean the cup while you jrink from it.

Water and medicine can also be airdropped. It’s a tall order, but we’ve done it before. The biggest logistic hurdle would be getting enough planes. It would probably have to be a NATO or UN operation, so multiple air forces could contribute aircraft and crews without pulling too many assets from other operating areas.

That’s interesting. I’ve sent similar messages several times, and there’s been no change in contact frequency. Maybe you unsubscribed?

I really needed this meme train today. First out loud laugh in a while

I might actually buy a denim-print controller.

Valuable yes…but less exploitable

If you have the numbers, you protest as a show of force. If you don’t, you terrorize as a show of force.

They were never supposed to be accountable to the electorate (it was obviously a bad call with hindsight). The way the system was designed, that should fall to Congress… but they’ve been derelict for decades now.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Actually, I spent about 5 minutes looking for it earlier but then remembered I don’t really need to expose myself to it. If it had just popped up in front of me, I’d have seen it.

Maybe you don’t use the internet like the average person does, so your experience is different from theirs?

We want journalists to be honest about what they have and haven’t verified. And if it hasn’t been verified, it’s better to be quiet about it, so your quote of “while unverified, we have received some reports of decapitated babies in one of the areas attacked” doesn’t turn into “decapitated babies found in areas attacked by Hamas.”

And yes, I deliberately chose a recent and relevant example of something that actually happened and was used to justify Israel’s response early on.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

You’re cherry-picking stories if that’s how you’re classifying NPRs coverage. I’m on their site now and searched Gaza…1st 2 stories that come up are about the Michigan voters and the potential cease-fire…makes sense as those are the American-centic stories. Then we get into a story about children starving to death that unequivocally states that Israel tanks were shooting aid trucks and groups of civilians trying to get that aid. Then, a story about a nurse with Doctors without borders who was in one of their shelters when Israel opened fire on them. Again, there is no equivocation.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Would you have been happier if they said “a protest against Israel’s ‘genocide’”?

They weren’t quoting him directly in that first sentence, and regardless of how any of us feel about it personally, the ICC said this isn’t genocide. Personally, I also feel it’s a genocide, but if I said that in an article I wrote, it would be an opinion piece because, when it comes to committing crimes, the western world has generally agreed on the principle of innocent until proven guilty and we prove that guilt in courts of law.

I noticed you didn’t link to the actual article. I’m assuming at this point, based on your posting history and this interaction, that it was a deliberate choice on your part to use a screenshot instead because 4 sentences later, the same article states, "Leadinf up to the incident, Bushnell said in the video that he ‘will no longer be complicit in genocide.’ Later, as he burned in front of the Israeli Embassy, Bushnell could be seen on the livestream yelling “Free Palestine!”’

Makes it seem like you’re not arguing in good faith, which makes me want to disengage with you at this point.

Getting killed by the IDF smuggling relief supplies into or people out of Palestine is dying for a cause. Going to fight and die in Ukraine is dying for a cause. Running into a building to save people is dying for a cause. This wasn’t dying for a cause any more than if he’d gone on a shooting spree or blew up a building and said it was for Palestine…simply saying Free Palestine while committing suicide contributes nothing to the issue aside from more tragedy.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

And that makes sense… but regardless of his mental state at the time, I’m not speaking about his motivations or disagreeing with them. In fact, I agree with his views and can empathize with feeling hopeless to help.

It’s possible I feel so negatively about his decision to end his own life is because I empathize so strongly with the guy. I’m a veteran (in fact, after seeing where he was stationed and his job, it’s pretty likely that I was stationed on the same base and worked in the same windowless building as him) and I also feel like I’ve been complicit in acts I find abhorrent by means of serving in the military of the nation that perpetrating or supporting those acts. I also have issues with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I never met this guy, so I can’t say I’ve walked in his shoes… but I do know this. The people who can be outraged by anything the Israeli government does are already outraged.

I’d have rather had him donate time and money to a candidate he believes in, or protest, or whistleblow if he had access to information we don’t that makes things even worse - as unimaginable as that seems, or just try to leverage his personal relationships to try and convert someone who might listen to him. The world doesn’t need empathetic martyrs… it needs empathetic leaders and fighters.

Jimmyeatsausage ,

Well, it needs to be licensed so the government can enforce you only hunting the right people

No…ONLY the Palestinians

I wear mine in the house because I have a collapsed arch on one foot, and both my knees are completely shot. Shoes keep the feet lighed up, and I don’t sublux my kneecap nearly as often.
