I could see that happening.

Trump just stepped too out of line on these couple charges. The whole design of the grift is to grift low key off an ignorant populous. Donnie Boy did his fellow criminals dirty in drawing attention, so they gotta do something…which will be house arrest at Mar a Lago. Theyll make it a nice private residence jail. Secret service and all. Wouldn’t be surprised if Biden gets involved at some point either. These people are all cut from the same cloth. Donnie just happens to be the worlds most incompetent phsycopath, and gives the rest a bad look.

They got him pretty good.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I think he’ll do half of whatever they give him…in Mar a Lago federal pen.

Can we stick him in a tesla and shoot him into low earth orbit, adorned with red white and blue lasers, as a reminder, and symbol of our democracy?

This is such a great comment imo.

The education need right now is almost beyond our reach. Weve been needing it. Itd need to be grass roots fucking re education. Some media does it, music, etc. But the younger kids need critical thinking skills most of all, and learning mindfulness, self acceptance. Like classes in real fundamental life shit that they’re not getting. I don’t know how much school has changed since my days. So I dunno. But tampering w schools with the books, that’s just…the term fascist is spot on. DeSantis is dangerous. Someone will see him and even springboard off him deeper down the right wing rabbit hole as a politician.

Warrior is pretty good. It’s a Bruce Lee screenplay. The choreography is great, and hits on a lot of americam social political and economic themes.

I’ve never been contacted for a poll. I didn’t even consider this. Lying to a poll jfc. Imagine being ashamed of what you believe.

We lost another one. I’m glad I made it thru my addiction alive…something I never thought I’d say “I’m glad to be alive”. If any of you have people in your life who are in active addiction, theres not much you can do besides be there when it all falls apart. Don’t take their actions personally. They exist in a prison within themselves. They do feel guilty, and probably want to die most days. Sending my love for all my people ✌️

I kinda like the sugar at the bottom, but I’m a degenerate like that. (I’ve mostly excised my sweet tooth now. My dad is in his 50s and almost died from diabetic shock, with no knowledge of his condition)

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I started working construction when I was 15. I’m in my 30s and my body is broken, but like, I gotta eat right? Obviously this 14 yr old shouldn’t be working at a bar, and this is a symptom of a larger problem, but that’s SoCiAlIsM.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I think we are in agreement then. My socialism bit is just how the people around me see any type of regulation, regardless of their own interests.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I wouldn’t call it addiction, in most cases it is dependence…unless your facing legal trouble due to your use, but keep smoking. But that’s more to do with shitty legal practices.

I’ve been addicted to real addictive substances and weed ain’t the same at all ime.

For long time users, stopping can cause some withdrawal symptoms, sure, but nothing worth fear mongering over imo.

It really varies person to person. Some people let it run their life. Others not so much.

Great post OP

Practicing mindfulness has been the most important thing in my life for my own health and growth as a person.

I got into eastern philosophy in high school, and never really looked back, only building my own system tailored to me and extrapolating the principles into every possible facet, and every moment. It’s a battle to stay constantly on the point, but one I really enjoy having.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

It builds character.

People just have different tolerance for how much death is caused by their own existence, your gonna kill something regardless to survive, that is life. I am not really to judge, especially a culture that I have very little interaction with.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Now I have been outa school since 2008, but back then, in public school, they didn’t teach us shit. Like actual useful things. How to deal with emotions, personal finance, How to deal with police, mindfulness, critical thinking…nothing. all busy work and history through the American lense (propaganda). I even had a science teacher who was super religious and said earth was created 6000 years ago…it was geology ffs. Math was the worst imo. Solve for X, zero context. The only reasoning they gave to learn it was “to get in to college”.

Safe to say I didn’t go to college.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Some people don’t have parents. But I generally agree with you.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Which should be taught, imo. police are not your friends. They arrest you for profit. I learned how to deal the hard way. But least I know now. I guess teaching it would be counter to the whole reason of policing so yea. 🤷

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I use math everyday as well in the trades. Not too complex math, but my point was not the math itself, rather the way it was taught to me and the context given, which was none. I’m definitely not saying don’t teach math, quite the opposite. I’m a hands on learner. Math for the sake of math to 15 yr old me seemed like an empty exercise. If I could do it again, I’d probably be good at it. But that’s life.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

They did that a tiny bit in early math classes. In high school, none. I failed every year cause I didn’t care about what X is. I erased the problem. No more problem. I was a dumb kid with shit teachers. And here I am using math everyday and finding I’m fairly decent at mental math and weird fractions. Guess I’m a hand on learner. I dunno. I agree with you.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Don’t worry. I asked what a tankie was on my first day on lemmy. I learned, sure enough, I learned.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Police spend most of their day inserting themselves into the everyday lives of citizens who aren’t doing anything wrong.

I have a criminal record. Minor drug charges. I still get pulled over constantly, for zero reason, just so the cop can take a look and see if they approve of my hair clothes etc, and whether or not they wanna ruin my life…because they can, without provocation. Ever get slapped with a resisting arrest because the other charges weren’t gonna stick in court? Happens all the time.

Fuck cops.🖕

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Sorry that happened to you. The drugs are a systematic and bullshit pretense now to meddle in anyone’s lives they don’t like. It’s fucked.

I moved from a city, into a small town. The cops don’t like me round here. I get cuffed every stop.

They even cuffed my partner once, while yelling “stop resisting” like you weigh 150 more lbs than her bro. She ain’t doing shit.

His “prison” will be mar a Lago. They already have a gate and guards.

I don’t trust the justice system whatsoever. Jail is for economic dissidents.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I have no fantasys about Biden. He’s old money, and more conservative than I would like. This “news” is in line with my perception of him. Idc.

Capitalism is anarchism for shitty people.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

From my limited understanding, Marxism comes off as more of a lense to analyze politics and human behavior than an actual system. It also comes off as not very fascist, but fascist seeming things can come out of it, depending on your perspective. I will admit I’m not very educated in regards to political science, and I’ve just begun my foray into Marxist theory.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I can’t disagree with that. I think the sort of utopia that communism suggests is a natural progression back to our roots as a species, and will happen, but only after we’ve pushed for it AND survived through an inevitable apocalypse, because we done royally fucked up tbh. For right now? Well I’m just a blue collar American with no degree. I don’t know. I think socialist structure needs to be implemented for sure though, just to stop the people whove captured the wealth from royally screwing all of us over. I am not educated, or indoctrinated enough to actually debate you beyond that. In fact, I kind of just avoid people, so I’m probably not the best leftist to debate you at all.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

I don’t discount aliens outright, in fact I do believe, but I’d imagine any type of meta being would not be bound by physical bodies, and would more so exist within consciousness itself.

I do think the whole proceeding is some flavor of sham though.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Well I wouldnt say looks. Maybe feel. It would kind of look like a “simple technicolor light” to a physical body in the minds eye, but you’d feel a separate entity with you for sure. I’ve had this happen to me once or twice very intensly while practicing some home brew weird shit. It was kinda overwhelming. No one will ever be able to convice me that I was not interacting with something. It was 1 or 2 sperate, but one thing, and it literally threw a weird ass tiny ball of white string at me and all my cabinets opened up upstairs. I’m a crazy person. Proceed with caution.

Some people’s idea of god is comically small.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Thats actually reasonable. I think people are largely unaware of their own brain plasticity and how much any type of input affects our outlook and actions.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Yea that’s fair. I feel like the issue lies in education tbh. Our schools don’t teach us much about practical things like the relationship between external and internal forces. I’m not for these types of warnings, I just thought that was reasonable compared to what I was expecting lol

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

Well yea. A felon running for prez implies they are the right kind of felon: wealthy.

While a felon who can’t vote is : poor, poc, not worthy of participating in our lovely, high-water mark democracy.

MiddleWeigh , 10 months ago

The current state of policing doesn’t deserve to have access to this kinda shit. Hopefully it never will tbh.

MiddleWeigh , 11 months ago

How can you justify releasing a damn dog on someone who ain’t doing shit? These kids are more often than not from questionable origin, like a racist system or family, psychopaths, not meant to be the high water mark of justice, and the people they should actually be fucking with, either slip through the nets, or are running the show. Capitalist bootlickers is all it comes down to. I couldn’t imagine wanting to be a cop.

When I get pulled over now, I’m always like “damn its a kid”, knowing there are zero consequences for their actions, a push from on high to make arrests in any way possible, depending on who needs to get paid that day, doesn’t make me feel any better.

I got pulled over last week…for having a dealership border around the license plate. Thats it. LOL. All pretense to see if he liked my face and clothes. I don’t think police should be interacting with citizens in this manner, let alone releasing fkn dogs on unarmed people.

MiddleWeigh , 11 months ago

Thanks for explaining it. I had a vague idea via context clues it was something like that.
