this is why i am putting off public transition. i have like 5 zoomer men under my wing that look up to me as what they see, which is an elder millennial chad guy who makes leftist thought appealing and masculine as well as push collective ethics into their heads

i was their boss at first, now just another co-worker and they respect me as that person, even if it’s just an act.

kind of sucks but i made this call because of this crisis

can’t wait to be laid off from my job along with my partner in June-ish

so many/most/all of those “starvation bread lines” were actually just "people lining up to get the freshest bread lines

(i was a kid during the fall and only remember hearing the first part on the news, that it was a lack of food overall)

I agree. they fucked up by alienating their own government and defunding and disrupting everything. they could have implemented an ironclad well oiled fascist machine by just not pushing the “break economy” button and leaving the administrative state alone for the duration of their crackdown

Is this more “business as usual” as in all the other border wars fought or is this have a level of intensity and urgency that is different this time?

My knowledge is really cursory but somehow this seems more existential. mostly from the rhetoric coming from Modi’s govt and the exponentially increasing effects of climate change this time around

i’m actually worried this is going to become the new SWATing because of how easy it will be

obviously if they find anything “illegal” circumstantially well whoopsie the door is already opened and the residents detained so they’ll just call local cops to charge you

and every household in this nation has a potential felony waiting inside. every single one.

more willing to push MAGA stuff or be emboldened to talk about it unprompted. These aren’t ideologically committed people, though. generic dont tread on me country folk

more upbeat/hopeful about Trump/MAGA and now just disengaged completely, don’t want to talk about it.

I’ve cheerleaded the concept of thorium as a holdover and energy/neutron source while fusion is developed and refined. combined with renewables it seems a no-brainer for finally shedding away fossil fuels

And the high temp molten reactors could allow water to be cracked into green hydrogen or methane made from CO2, so you get a potential fuel refinery as well (which could include production of plastics)

I’m really excited they are going for it head on. central planning is amazing… fuck, imagine if it was being done on a global scale

i’m surrounded by chuds at work and while i don’t see any active anger they are very quiet and shell-shocked these days. vacant stares and uncertainty.

there is no boasting or even discussion. they’ve basically become apolitical.

it’s cool, thanks for not being a redditor about that

despite everything else fucked about this, would have to be at least 500k to 5 million to even make sense as a lump sum incentive

waiting with bated breath as my partner, primary earner and truck driver, still has work over the next few months

Only plus(es) is their company has been around since the 70s, they were just given a brand new truck and are their top driver in stats (although relatively new in hire)

At best I’m thinking no lay off but maybe 50% income slash. Where I work we’ve been a skeleton crew for a decade now anyways

secret site lore. also, WTF I have been here for 5 years now???!??! you too!!!

pretty sure during that era some (not) here legit got together IRL.

everything is ominous

i last played this game on SNES

new pump and dump incoming. expect like 4 different public announcements of wildly divergent numbers

this explains the market hopping back up a few percent today
