It depends on the company. My mother and father hate my humor. I rock the boat too much for them. My siblings like it. My friends like it. Employers hate it.

Basically I have a problem with the concept of “sacred cows” and that upsets some people. I can disagree, I can even mock, but no matter what it should always be acceptable to discuss a topic. But others see that as rocking the boat and they are uncomfortable.

I don’t think a personality like mine would be welcomed in China. They would disappear me there for joking about tiannamen square.

I need a roof over my head, a place to plug in my EV, and job with health benefits so I can afford my HIV meds. Bonus points if the housing arrangements allows cats. Mine died a while ago and I’d really like to have a cat again

Thanks but what we deserve is irrelevant to reality. Without some sort of consequences this will not change and he’s shielded himself from consequences.

I can’t afford to eat. An entire paycheck goes to rent. Half the month I have family buying my groceries. There is no room for joy in my life because I can’t afford it.

I’m hardly a soldier. I haven’t even attended a protest before. I live in Ohio where that sort of thing doesn’t actually matter. In Ohio, republicans gerrymandered the state, ignore the courts, and ignore the voters. Protests are just a political inconvenience to them but since no republicans have been killed over it yet, it doesn’t actually matter.

I am a liberal. I want fairness and growth. I want responsibility. That even if it means the republicans have to die to get that done I want it. But I can’t bring myself to harm any of them. And they know people like me won’t do that. And they don’t take us seriously because we are not a threat to them.

Basically there’s nothing I can do here unless I’m willing to become another Luigi.

I don’t think there’s anyone left that really cares about me. I’m more of an obnoxious pet they regret buying but now are stuck with. My ex left and married someone else within a year. The cat died. I lost my home because the ex owned it and wanted me out so he could rent it out for more money. My sister is really the only person in my family that likes me. The nephews and nieces like me because to them I’m a giant kid they get to play with. But they are also still young enough that if I vanished from their lives they would forget me and move on just fine.

I never understood the demonization of non-conforming sexualities. It’s as sensical as saying “if you like sour cream and onion pringles more than the original pringles, you are dangerous.”

The closest thing I have to art skill and desire wise is my little 3d printing projects. One of them I like dusting off every now and then is making a home server that fits inside an old power mac g4 cube. I release the designs online when I’m done. It’s isn’t emotive but it is a puzzle with a set of decisions I get to make about how things work. I creat a problem I can solve.

I don’t think I’ve released the latest version as I’m not entirely happy with how it works. I also created a small tower for an old rockpro64 but again, it’s incomplete so unreleased. There are issues with the software for it I haven’t ironed out yet so I can’t fully assemble it and ensure it’s able to properly regulate its temperature yet.

It’s a weird little puzzle I’ve created for myself but with that I have some control over something in my life.

Do you think the blue states will hold out? Trump already said there won’t be blue states much longer. Granted he’s a buffoon and a blowhard but he’s one in a powerful position with powerful allies that enable him to lie cheat and steal his way to what he wants.

What would I teach? I don’t have any sort of credentials for that. And what country would want me?

I have friends in Oregon so it’s possible I could just sell everything I have and drive out there but I would still need a job and housing.

Non violence requires empathy in your opponent to be effective. It won’t work here.

The petition isn’t going to do shit. I know that. But the fact is my name is now on a list they can use when deciding who to round up.

They consider women pets. They aren’t people to them.

I mean, it’s probably in their best interest to avoid us. We are a terrible country.

Are you aware of how much open source work comes from Russians? Russians != Russian govt.

The problem with consensus is you can fake it pretty easily with a bunch of bots.
