  • Pretty much this. There are people with certain interests that benefit from current events. It is simply that acquiring those benefits do not require them to meet any of the consequences due to how we have structured our society. The way it is now, there exist layer upon layer of various degrees of separation between the person making the decision and the actual consequences from that decision.








  • Had a friend in highschool who did this. Kept up the act the entire time until he graduated. I was two years behind and didn’t see him again.

    Well, almost 7 years later I’m on hard times and delivering pizza just for some income and, low-n-behold, I see him is name on a delivery. So, I request that I be the one to bring it.

    Show up and this chick answers the door. I tell her I’m dude’s old friend from HS, so she goes and gets him. We catch up and I make a joke that he finally got a real GF and doesn’t need the story about his GF in Canada.

    She was the gf from Canada.






  • Taxation becoming automated and controlled by our place of employment is exactly why it is paramount that workers own our places of employment even more so than in the past.

    If we own our places of employment, we can collectively refuse to continue funding this fascist regime and utilize those funds for our own local, grass-roots initiatives.


  • This.

    Everyone knows the scene from IT and how disgusting it is but many do not understand that King has a long history of pedophilic tendencies when writing teenage girls in almost all of his works.

    In Carrie he has a section that takes an odd focus on how nice her legs look, in Under the Dome there is a lengthy description of an pubescent girl’s pubic hair, etc…

    Like, I get he is a horror writer and that means depicting scenes that are intentionally written to be uncomfortable is part of the genre, which includes scenes of sexual violence and abuse, but there are ways to accomplish these depictions without the unnecessary sexualization of underage girls.
