Holy shit…look at those things go! It’s like womens version of helicoptering!

Wait…you’re not attracted to breasts? I think you may be the only one. Even gay men, and straight women love breasts.

My brain does not comprehend your existence.

Thats literally the only song I know them for.

Eh, he’s alright. Whenever I pick up Emanual in my Uber, he’s decent people…

…what?

Did I misread the situation?

“I’m sorry, are you addressing moi?”

No no, I think it’s good that you replied. In this case pushing back against misinformation is a great use for repitition.

Sometimes I forget decent people with common sense still exist. Sometimes it doesn’t feel that way…

Wait…bleach doesn’t cure autism? Should I stop drinking it?

My problem is that I never even HEARD of the Home Depot thing.

Here’s one you may or may not know about. Nestle actually engages in and uses literal slave labor to grow coco beans in other countries.

So you think “well, how hard is it really to just buy hersheys chocolate instead? And buy your cookies from local bakeries?”

Except no. Nestle is more than just chocolate. It’s like hundreds of brands. I’m constantly checking packaging now to see if their logo is on products. It owns DiGorno pizza. It owns Hot Pockets. It owns water bottles. It’s like half the grocery store. And that’s just ONE COMPANY!!!

My issue isn’t accepting that you’re right. My issue is keeping track of it all. I’ve hated Nestle since 2012. I didn’t realize the scope of their brands until 2020. I think they even own a pet food company that makes dog food and cat food. Now granted I don’t have pets, so I’d not have delt with that, but still.

I only have so many brain cells left to rot before I’m a full on dementia ridden crazy person who thinks it’s still the Nixon years, despite the fact I was born in 1983.

I remember when my dad would snore loudly, I’d always punch him in the balls really really hard, and then drop to the floor.

One time he went to the doctor trying to run tests to figure out why his balls hurt every night. Doctors had zero clue what to make of that.

I have an AMAZING poker face. Inside I was dying laughing. Outside, stonefaced.

What if they’re not cool enough to block them?

Which was weird, because I remember being 14 in the late 90s, and EVERYONE was 14-16/F/Cali.

And I’d always say “Oh, sorry. I’m 14, but I’m from Ohio”.

I wonder how many FBI agents I pissed off.

Are ya winning son?

My issue is I never know there ARE protests until like 4 days after it happened.

Where possible, avoid buying from companies that are complicit.

Unless you buy from local creators/farmers, EVERYONE is complicit.

Why would anyone want to know about each other’s location?

What an odd thing to ask. Where are you from?

Wait…so, they had 30 deaths TOTAL in the year 2000?

Damn. I’m fairly sure Ohio in 2015 was in the thousands.

In 2023 I had cancer. The only time in my life I felt privledge was then.

My family got me out of my dads house, which was infested with black mold and rats. It has a failing roof, that when it rains outside, it rains inside.

I had been living in those conditions for years to save money to buy a house. My dad refused to let us help him. The city offers a free roof replacement program to seniors. He refused. He’s still living in those conditions.

So when I was diagnosed with cancer, my sister said “we gotta get you out of that house”. My natural instinct was to stay and save more money. Not having bills is actually a HUGE advantage. But instantly I knew she was right. These conditions were literally killing me.

So my family actually paid my rent in a new apartment for a year. I had no job. I had no income. My family paid my rent, and I was just home all day.

I was weak from the cancer treatments. I felt like some days I could just fall asleep mid-day, and take a 3 hour nap, and that was fine. Who’s schedule was I breaking?

My body was always tired. The folfox drug was literally destroying my body cells from the inside. Thats what it’s designed to do. Some days I felt sick to the point where I was going to throw up, but never did.

But even with all that, I noticed one thing.

I’d had suicidal thoughts my whole life. Since I was 5 years old. I’ve been grumpy, and hated life, and hated people. Now, in 2023, I could go a whole 2 weeks and not see anyone until it was time to go get chemo again. And I realized I couldn’t have been happier.

Even with all the bullshit going on with my body, even with how awful I felt on a physical level, I was the happiest I’d ever been on a mental level.

I woke up when I wanted. I watched baseball everyday. I ate cereal straight from the box as a snack. I had time to keep my apartment clean. And for the first time in my (at the time) 39 year old life, my family cared about me enough to check in.

All the depression I had my whole life vaporized. I felt like a new me. I felt like shit physically, but I felt amazing mentally.

This is the society the wealthy have crafted for us. A society which brings us all down. A society where people attack people. Sometimes physically, but even just mentally. We feel the need to guard ourselves, because everyone is out to get us. And there are those who feel the need to belittle others to make themselves feel better.

This is the world we live in.

Depending on skin color, the predators are just called “cops”.
