I’m so tired of being told I’m sad because I don’t have drugs.

I’ve tried a dozen medications and they all make me feel worse. One made me allergic to fucking sunlight.

Our world is broken and dying as the rich hasten it along and we’re gaslit to accept the blame for it.

The police are thugs servicing fascist tyrants and protecting them from us.

Wall Street, Walmart, schools, healthcare, fucking everything is about controlling and exploiting.

When I was a kid, super soakers were a hundred dollars. China has basically battery powered water rail guns at that same price point now while we still have the same hand pump plastic shit. The US gets farther and farther behind the world and yet somehow even more up is own ass despite being one is the dumbest and fastest countries on the fucking planet.

I’ve given up on hope. There’s too much money to be made off suffering.

“about a meg” because it’s almost unthinkable anyone cares about 3 tenths of a meg much less 2 hundredths.

Because you asked what I meant. Of course what I meant didn’t include your response to it. You almost seem offended my thoughts weren’t yours.

In short, Kant said people should be the goal, not the means.

It’s ok to make yourself dinner.

It’s ok to make your friend dinner because you want to make them happy.

It’s not ok to make your friend dinner because you want to have sex with them.

It’s not ok to make your friend make you dinner because you don’t want to cook.

Every facet of capitalism is exploitation by design as profit is unpaid labor. However classless socialism isn’t automatically devoid of exploitation.

None of us asked to be here. I certainly don’t want to be here anymore. Placing the value of a life upon the imaginary lines it landed between, how much money it’s parents had, or the color of it’s skin are all pretty fucked up.

Lol. Welcome to chasing a pipe dream or crippling depression.

The answer is largely as simple as socialism plus Kant with some secular Jesus because any system that condones human exploitation will eventually implode due to psychopaths’ willingness to sacrifice others for power.

But literally basically everything is done wrong to maximize exploitation. Housing, schooling, medicine, food… All fucked to make the richest richer.

Liberalism is the slow road to fascism.

And this is how social media hijacks brains.

I work 4x10 wfh and I’m more productive than the people that go into the office despite spending no less than half the day playing videogames.

If the system had any legitimacy, Trump wouldn’t have been given office the first time due to violating both emoluments clauses much less allowed on the ballot the second time while being an impeached felon.

Even if you think the results of this election are legitimate (both Trump and Elon have as much as said they are not) the GOP has made no secret of P2025 or their goals of cracking down on blue states in future elections.

The slow road to fascism still leads to fascism. Democrats and Republicans are the gas pedal of imperialism. One pushes softly. One pushes hard. Before you argue consider the insanity of Greenland is basically exactly how we took Hawaii. Democrats are largely just good cop convincing you to fuck yourself over for the system. http://politicalcompass.org/uselection2016

Firstly, there are many reasons third parties aren’t possible but the largest is basically the Constitution mandating simple majority voting which naturally falls into a duopoly. A third party either cripples or replaces the one it’s closest to. CGPGrey can explain it further: https://www.cgpgrey.com/politics-in-the-animal-kingdom

Then you have to understand Democracy is a political system and capitalism is an economic one. In simplest terms, capitalism is a small group of capitalists that own the factories and get all the profit set opposite a large group of workers that sell their lives an hour at a time. The US has a legal fiduciary duty to shareholders which basically means profit must always be maximized. This is the constant pressure on wages to stay down and prices to go up. That doesn’t sound inherently terrible until you read into SEC EDGAR filings and find out that the overwhelming majority of every privately traded company is basically owned by BlackRock and cellar boxing has been used to rob American pensions and cripple American businesses including cancer treatments. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/owpfc3/will_the_real_gme_bbemg_please_stand_up_part_1/

A democracy relies upon educated, competent citizens. Educated, competent citizens think critically, get engaged in politics, want clean water, safe working conditions, and well paying jobs. All of those hurt profits. What more people need to understand is capitalism will always have an intrinsic need to undermine democracy.

What’s more, democracy undermines democracy when it’s a representative republic wherein only the wealthy can run for office on platforms approved by the wealthy. The DNC and RNC are both privately owned corporations that say who can run on that ballot. All the talk of term limits is further myopic, ignorant self sabotage as there is only a shortage of competent, principled people willing to spend their life in public service. There is no shortage of amoral self serving opportunists for corporations to push through election after election. Eventually you just lose the institutional memory of all the competent individuals.

We’re supposedly a nation of the people, by the people, for the people, but once Corporations became people, they became the only people that mattered. 75% of theft is corporate wage theft but you can’t arrest corporations because they don’t have hands.

This is without factoring in the decades conservatives have spent filling government with end of days dominionists and out right fascists.

This “blue no matter who” bullshit is a different flavor of “lesser evil” that got us here because you can’t fix a system when it’s working exactly as intended. The founding fathers never wanted Joe Everyman voting because they knew he was a fucking moron. Voting was limited to land owning gentry because they were wealthy enough to not have to work and were able to learn.

All of our failing points are intentional. They don’t want smarter people. They don’t want more people voting. They want servile minions.

I remember reading a study on this where all the scientists replaced their home ranges because the results were so bad.

I’ve never worked someplace it wasn’t the default.

Ask what every department wants. Say it’s too expensive. Get the sales team exactly what they want but then realize it does nothing for any other department. Spend 3x getting it modded to do half the features of what the other departments need. Push it live as soon as the database is copied over but before training anyone.

This is a good question but you’re going to get a wild range of information because of a number of factors.

That number is a good starting point but it’s likely low especially if you’re physically active or using a vegan/vegetarian source.

Also, something one must keep in mind is that the vast majority of research in the field is built on the fundamental assumption carbs should be the largest part of the diet which is likely wrong as the body seems to run better the less sugar you give it.

The ironic thing is the human body runs on fat and a huge portion of our illness stems from the insane amount of sugar we consume.

Summary: In 1984 our group published the first modern study of the effects of adapting to a low carbohydrate high fat diets on athletic performance. I have spent the next 31 years expanding on this research. In my presentation I will present the results of that research program and conclude with our exciting new evidence for the role of low carbohydrate diets and ketosis in the prevention of whole body inflammation in athletes training daily at very high loads. I will also present evidence to show that elite ultra-endurance athletes have an unexpectedly high capacity to oxidize fat during exercise and so potentially to run at fast paces for prolonged periods without the need to ingest exogenous fuels.

Something like 80% of all theft at this point is unpaid wages.

You have to understand that a system that calls corporations people is inherently violent. Profit is unpaid labor, so the existence of a tax code that not only allows -but celebrates and defends- billionaires is class warfare. If you steal $1000 from a store, the police show up. If the store steals $1000 from your paycheck the police tell you to get a lawyer with a $5k retainer. The store’s existence isn’t hampered by the $1,000 while most families would be ruined without out.

However, the only instance of the crime the system cares about is the one against the corporation.

Corporations are the only people that don’t have to worry about eating. Corporations are the only people that don’t have hands for handcuffs. Corporations are the only people the law cares about.

Corporations own the media. Corporations own the red ones. Corporations own the blue ones. Corporations own the food. Corporations are eager to own everything the DNC will meet the RNC half way in privatizing.

We are here because infinite money now equates to infinite speech. We as individuals have ever less speech because we have ever less money. Unions are being crippled now and soon protesting itself will become a crime against the state.

It will be a crime to speak out. It will be a crime to be different. It will be a crime to work too slow or think too much.

When every notion of freedom becomes a crime, crime becomes our only freedom.
