  • CPS are basically useless or power tripping with no in-between. They got called on my incubator 3 times with the first being for beating my adopted brother so hard with. 2x4 it broke his skull around his eye socket.

    We were told we had a great mother and shouldn’t be such a hassle for her to deal with after being in the house for 5 minutes. The incubator said that she would make sure we died before any of us were taken away from her.

    Adults are mostly people pretending to be or see what they want to feel good about themselves, and thinking they are justified in doing whatever they want because they have simply existed longer. Few even consider sonder, less their own chance of being the monster.


  • People claim they have no interesting stories and then will tell me tales of happy childhoods where they had parents support and love them and they went on road trips and had the joy of just being a child and I can’t help but think of that fantasy world they got to live for all those years as something beautiful and beyond what human experience for most of our history was even capable of.

    People toss off the casual miracles cause they lack shine but having a parent that didn’t rape and abuse is quite an interesting story to me.

    I’m sorry, be strong and outlive the fuckers so that we can confirm that they die.


  • There is not a worst, people can be so many shades of despicable. But if you want a story.
    When I was in high school a good friend of mine and my girlfriend’s pretended to be gay and in the closet so that he could get my GF to pretend to be his GF to “make sure his parents wouldn’t know”. We both wanted to help him out so it was fine.
    In fact he just wanted to be in a relationship with her and figured it was the fastest and easiest way. Even her pretending was not good enough for him and just a starting point.

    He would go on to start a rumor about me that was so vile it got me suspended from school and detained by the police, while I was away he raped the girl he pretended to love and when she freaked out pushed her in front of a car.

    Like all the monsters in the world, they were just a person with sick twisted ideas of what they were owed and no, there isn’t and wasn’t karma or retribution against him. The world folds up and quietly moves on desperate to look away from the things that are to harsh to stare at for long by those pretending the world to be something better in blind hope that people are inherently good.



  • Agreed. Absolutely agreed.

    She offered so little in the first place that the fact that she was told to offer even less with expectations that it would make her win the more desperate masses because it wasn’t anything “bad™” at least… It’s a huge statement on what they want to offer and what they expect in return:

    The answer to both is simply, nothing.
    Give nothing and expect nothing in return so that things hopefully stay the same. It’s a massive failing of politics right now.

    That promise for housing gets misquoted as well as what she actually offered was:
    First generation homebuyers who no one in their family has ever owned a house, after paying rent in a government approved rental firm for 2 years could get up to $25,000. And stated starter homes would cost between $300,000 and $800,000 dollars depending on location.

    She did have a point to ask Congress to pass legislation to slow people buying more than 50 single family homes.

    This was lost to her wealthy advisors telling her to not go through with these plans as they would impact the investment opportunities of housing.

    She barely even got to flash before the DNC tried to reign in anything that might change things.




  • The mods on Lemmy are not good. They help incite shouting matches at different communities for fun including ones that have the developers for Lemmy itself, let basic bait for profiling others exist because they proclaim to let the other side speak up if they wanted to after bashing them down.
    They will turn around and unironically claim to be just janitors with no power while ignoring the very position of mod gives them a lead role in how discussions are held.

    Lemmy is just 4chan for neo liberals and the mods act like it.

    You mistake your own thoughts for those of others. It’s a common bias to assume you are the norm for knowledge or emotional response.

    There are plenty of people who absolutely do seek and enjoy violence on other people and there is plenty of history to back that up. As well as sports, boxing, and just general bar fights.


  • Because we forgot optimization in a world that celebrates maximalists and constant upgrades to feed shopping addictions that make people feel more in control of their space in a world with less and less opportunities for self determination.

    When I remember I was the cool kid for having a 4GB flash drive that could fit all of my call of duty game and homework and I look at the 560GB games now that aren’t even as fun to play I think we have made some mistakes along the way that instead of prioritizing the experience of life we prioritize the ease of it.

    Your actions you promote taking care only possible by those who own houses and have the means and funds to cover the replacements.
    I understand you will say the wildflowers is basically free but it takes time that you have a privilege of having.

    If that’s where you set the positive actions that people can take most will not be able to achieve them and view you poorly for bragging about it.
