If your dust analogy stands, why do you clean your ass? The poop is just going to come back.

I’m obviously not suggesting you stop cleaning your ass, but rather reassess how you see necessary regular menial tasks.

Nobody likes them, but they are what they are. Regular and necessary. You can even start to like them by meditating on task itself, and by expressing gratitude towards the conclusion, which in this example is a nicer cleaner space to live.

I just pee outside.

Alcohol.

I married her.

Crusty stains? Ew.

Cooking is my love language. I’m also a sole provider.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here on my comment making fun of America.

Who had the ARs?

They fucking lied to me. It is absolutely not foot activated. I even jumped on it and nothing.

Watch, I can probably run over it with my truck and not set it off.

I’ve hired two professionals now. One came in a taped like you described, and accounted for that time in the quote. The other charged less and did a better job overall because they didn’t tape. They said real professionals just cut in.

Welcome. There’s a lot of shit here. It’s like the early days of the Internet. The early days of reddit. Little bit of everything. Grow a thick skin if stuff offends you, or find your safe spots. There are as many great places and people as there are bad. And there are sheltered safe spots if that’s what you’re looking for.

You are extremely self centered in how you see the world. There are as many people in the world and in the fediverse that would say kick you out because you don’t have their best interests at heart. We can argue right and wrong all you want but that’s not the point, especially since it sounds like you don’t want to do any arguing. That’s how a lot of folks feel, and they are here too.

There are also plenty of trolls and foreign bad actors. We’ve really got it all already.

Say it then. Do you want Kamala or Trump to be president?

You are entirely missing pragmatism my friend. It’s tragically important.

False. It’s too late. We’re a month away from the election. Vote Kamala, the lesser evil, then join the Bernie campaign or the DSA to make some real change over the next 4 years. Now is pragmatically not the time for such battles. Know when to fold em.

There’s no mental gymnastics to flipping that switch real quick, then fighting the real fight. It’s you who’s doing gymnastics trying to wrongly convince folks not to. The length of your post alone proves the gymnastics.

Yes you absolutely should. If you can effortlessly vote for the lesser evil in a way that doesn’t take anything away from the other fight, just do it real quick. Any argument to the contrary is accelerationism.

If you are an accelerationist, then get bent, you’re wrong.

Absolutely. But you should also flip that switch real quick before getting to work fighting it. Just in case.

That’s not a definition of middle class at all. If you live in your car you’re lower / poverty class.

While I don’t think you’re wrong, they are talking about different things. One is how you’re doing despite being working class. Are you a making it? Keeping your head above water? A dentist or engineer making $250k+? Do you struggle to eat or clean yourself every day?

The other is how do you make your money. Do you work for it or do you exploit for it. Were you simply born into it?
