The Cuuuuube

Christ. most of them.

George Washington got to be in charge of a country that enshrined chattel slavery in its constitution for 20 years. Thomas Jefferson provided military aid to France’s efforts to quash a slave revolt in Haiti. Andrew Jackson personally orchestrated a genocide against the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw (all of whom were aligned with american interests). Zachary Taylor put a bounty on bison, in an effort to starve the native Americans of the great plains. Abraham Lincoln allowed his western military expeditions to do basically whatever to the native Americans. Andrew Johnson started the process of letting confederate leadership be who directed reconstruction rather than being punished for it.

And here we reach Ulysses S Grant. one of America’s favorite punching bag presidents because he got scammed rather frequently, but when you dig into why he was prone to getting scammed, it’s because he thought it was America’s duty to use its economic power to help the lowest people in society. it’s hard to be mad at a guy who was trying so hard to help people that sometimes he let someone con him into thinking they deserved help.

i can keep going on how a ton of our historical presidents have sucked. i’m still personally willing to say the top 3 are Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Donald trump

Adam Smith: you gotta bust up monopolies because competition drive’s innovation

the rich: you heard the man! all the wealth has to be consolidated with us! greed is good!

20,000 bce. tell the first person to come up with social hierarchy to fuck off

I’ve recently gotten good at DCSS to consistently gather a few runes. Still haven’t had an orb run. I don’t want to talk about how long I been playing the game…

100%. We all play the game because if we don’t we die. The metaphor you see all the time is that the reason were all swimming in this sea of capitalism is because if we don’t we drown. Our participation is not representative of consent I don’t really know what we do in the short and medium term but long term we need to kill capitalism

Realize that all forms of currency are ultimately a grift to allow a class of violent weirdos to claim ownership over the fruits of our labor and that we could actually just share things with each other without commerce

Pepsi is literally no better. They do all the same shit and are in bed with Putin

I don’t type good sometimes when I’m on the go and I make things redundant. In this case it even changed the meaning. I tried to go edit my comment but I got back a 500 error

I meant to put $7k

“Look at this asshole, learning how the world works. MAKE HIM SERVE COFFEE WITH THE REST OF THEM”

We could take away Elon Musks obscene wealth, leave him with enough to experience no material change in quality of life, and pay every other american who isn’t him $7,000k. And he’s just one of 735 billionaires. We could tax the shit out of these people and neither they nor us would notice a difference at time, but then when it was time to provide social benefits from government programs, everyone would notice “wow. Doesn’t this country work so much better? Look at all the things we can fund!”

Hell yeah it does! It was originally positioned for OSM users who needed a hiking companion. The other types of navigation have been a later addition

It used to be more browsable and less infested with every top ad being ad spam and whale crunching, but ad spam and whale crunching apps make google the most money

I think the argument would be that if money is freedom of speech then so should surveillance capitalism

We’re British imperialists at the end if the day. We traveled across the seas to a new continent and destroyed it for… So little benefit

So. You don’t need fixed. You’re fine. You’re going through life and you’ll figure out what works for you as you go.

That said, it does kinda seem like you have a misconception about what therapy is. Its not about making you fit in with the rest of the world. Its about helping you accept yourself, appreciate yourself, and love yourself for who you are. I won’t tell you to try it since you so specifically said you didn’t want people saying that, but I hope someone else reading this finds something to connect with on a journey of self love and self acceptance

Only New York. It means all the parts of New York state that aren’t New York City
