It’s not the Dems fault that so many people didn’t give a shit about marginalized groups.

I’ve been saying this for a long time.

The people who stayed home or voted third party are still trying to blame Dems for this, because the Dems didn’t try hard enough and “didn’t inspire them”.

Yeah? Well if you need a politician to inspire you to show up and fill out a piece of paper that will help protect marginalized groups, then you’re a piece of shit.

I’m not a Dem. Never will be. But I understood what was on the line.

Gaza is gonna get glassed, my gay and trans loved ones are in immediate danger, among God knows how much more heinous shit is going down.

They said they were gonna do this. And a huge group of people who wanted to be seen as morally pure decided to sit it out to feel superior.

You’re not superior. You’re a monster. The Dems shouldn’t have to “inspire” you to stop a fascist regime. It’s American exceptionalism at it’s fucking worst.

Fuck ALL of them. All of em.

Yeah, was gonna say, Missoula ain’t red at all. Love that place.

I always sucked at blitzball

Nothing is unbreakable but Signal is still pretty damn safe

You should read the article to see where these data dumps came from.

I’m being accused, even by you right now, and being a liar

The fuck

And it genuinely pisses me off

So yeah. Fuck showing support. I’ll just see myself out.

Actually, the cash app guy IS. The problem is I do. I run a catering kitchen with literally on other person. I do not have time to vet and train a replacement.

And I’m getting shit for it. “What’s your cash app”, Cool, when I lose this job, are they gonna pay NEXT month’s rent? Cause finding a new one and making bills on time certainly isn’t happening.

Yeah, I’m lashing out at them (and accidentally one other person) because I know what they’re doing

Now I’m being accused of “moving the goalposts”.

“I can’t make it but I wish I could”

“Here’s money now come”

“The reasons I can’t make it aren’t just money”

“Find someone to do your job for you in two weeks. What’s your personal info so I can send money”

“Can you please understand I’m not in a situation where that’s possible”

"No, I have money (for one month’s rent tops), you just hate your country and won’t fight for it

Ya know, this same site that talks about capitalism, people struggling to make ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck, and I’m being made to feel like shit by one in particular person who apparently doesn’t have money worries, simple solutions to everything, and thinks I’m moving goal posts when I try to explain my situation and why it isn’t simple, all the while pointing out that as a country, we lack critical thinking skills, demand simple answers to everything, and simple solutions.

And I’m being responded to with exactly that, by someone fricken gatekeeping the fact that they have enough disposable income to pay my rent

For a month. I doubt I’d see them next month

Fuck just trying to give support though. Gotta love feeling worse than I already do.

Maybe I really am too old anymore.

No, you’re just being an absolute asshole about this. And I’m blocking you to avoid further harassment.

My kids keep a roof over their heads. Get fucked.

No, you’re demanding personal information and telling me what to do for things you have no understanding of

I’ll not tell you to back off again.

I have already stated not only to you but others that I already am.

Stop talking down to me. I’m too old for this shit.

Take the hint and back the fuck off.

If you don’t understand our system you shouldn’t be telling me what to do about it.

I can get days off. I have plenty during slow season. I have sick days. You need to stop acting like you know more about my situation than you do.

I cannot reschedule this day. There’s too many people and it’s too short of notice

I’m proud of my job and the work I’ve put into it. I love it.

Back. Off.

Two weeks isn’t enough time to train someone to handle over 1200 people and our menu. I do not work a conventional kitchen, as I already said.

Stop acting like it’s a simple solution just because you think you can throw money at me. You’re just compounding how shitty I already feel about being in a situation I cannot control.

Back off. I make it to meetings and protests when I can and have stated multiple times I can’t this time, and you are being completely obstuse about it.

One is a actual fact, the other a sarcastic jab.

Your response is an attempt to act like they’re both the same.

You just want to fight to cope with being incorrect, like a typical American. You’re not getting it from me. Search elsewhere.

There are literally two of us that work at my kitchen. We’re both needed.

It’s more than money. I’d need an extra set of hands to cover me, a set that’s trained on our menu and able to feed over 1200 people, as I don’t work a line, I work banquets, parties and wedding ect

Nuance. I keep pleasing for it. Not everyone can be at every protest.

So yes, as I said, it kills me to not be there, but like many people, I’m literally not in a position to

On Lemmy with apparently no idea what it’s like to pay rent and bills.

Go you!

Cool. Pay my rent for me so I can, cause homelessness is illegal now.

You’re proving MY point. Nuance and not jumping to the simplest conclusions is a severe problem we have in this country. You hear something you disagree with and immediately rack it up to "this person is bad because of (insert confirmation bias here)

You have zero clue the situation others are in. Take a seat.

Those countries are much smaller and many have more robust public transportation to reach said protests.

I have a 12 hour day on the 5th and it kills me not to be able to go

We’d all be better off with more critical thinking and nuisance in our lives instead of jumping to the first conclusion that reaffirms our bias

Ha! Trick question.

Can confirm. I made around 30 dollars a month (back in the early 2000s), and I gladly worked because it was an opportunity to GO OUTSIDE. Sometimes even outside the walls.

Most historians agree Jesus very likely was a real person. Possibly even an algamation of multiple people.

However, doesn’t make him the son of God or even a holy entity.

Most likely he was a highly charismatic person who had a LOT of grievances with both the church and government, and his message turned into a political movement the Romans tried to quench ala Paul and the re-writings of the text at the time.

We actually have a good chunk of knowledge on Pontius Pilate, who was a real person. A real person who would NEVER wash his hands of executing someone. He was a big fan of it.

Part of the revision was to eject the Romans from the death of Jesus, and blame the Jewish people, in order to make the movement more palatable to the Roman people. Thus, the story of Pilate “washing his hands” of the matter because he thought Jesus was in fact, a righteous man.

Jews didn’t crucify people. They stoned them to death.

Jesus had a lot of criticism of the Roman occupation and was killed by the Romans.

Decades later when mythology started to surround this human, we see the revisions really kick into high gear
