Yup. And you vote for the right party or the right candidate, it almost doesn’t even matter. Such is the case of doing what I’m doing. I’m not expecting a celebratory response or anything.

I evaluate it like this. If one voted for the Republican side, you’re empowering the obviously destructive party that’ll do the most damage. It’s out in the open, they aren’t hiding anything. But if you voted for the Democratic side, it’s very subtle. Their audience would praise you for voting the ‘right side’ but they’re still assholes at the end of the day that’ll feel empowered in giving you shit anyways, they just have a vilified motion when doing so.

It’s like lose-lose either way.

Nah. The lesson wasn’t taught last time, especially if people are going to continue behaving the things I’ve exemplified. People just do not learn, they simply do not learn and refuse to learn.

Trump is the guy to do it, he’s a chaotic mess, a perfect tornado to continue destroying America and make everyone’s lives miserable. And I secretly want it.

It’s almost as if we would need nukes anymore to just give this world back to itself, it’ll recover itself in time, it’s endured worse. It’s just us that’s been it’s problem all this time.

They would lose any and all respect. They’re being seen as the party ‘Not Trump’ so being able to lose with this much momentum would be a severe blow to morale.

Yeah that’s accurate. Especially the not organizing part, which is actually more important now because we long already knew what’s been happening around us. It’s the party with no drive but all noise.

It’s very tricky waters. I’m of a few minds on this subject but my primary principle is - it’s your life, you do with it what you will to it. I’ll be incredibly sad when you’re gone, but in the back of my mind, I’ll understand. I won’t like the reality moving forward without you around, but I’ll understand.

And I think with those who I know, a lot of them don’t really understand what someone is going through with suicidal ideation and their struggles. I’m allowed to do with my life as I see fit, I even have a designated death age, an age I wish to die by and I’ll do everything I can to make sure I at least see that day. I have to keep most of this under wraps from some of I know, but very few do, because I know I’ll just be triggering ‘saviors’. Saviors I don’t even want to have.

I disagree heavily that people who wish to do suicide is a selfish act. In fact, I think it’s the other way around, when people want to keep you alive and it’s usually because the reason is that they just want you as their security blanket. Their go-to person. Their coping mechanism. And if those reasons are the reasons why someone wants to keep you for, like no actual productive and purposeful reasons there, then I truly think that’s selfish in of itself. And I think it’s incredibly insufferable that people want to continue another’s own suffering by prolonging it by denying them their wish.

It’s one thing to prevent someone from suicide who might not be in the right mind, than those who have truly made their mind up. I am someone who has made their mind up for the road ahead. I have lived a life where I’ve ‘put people over’, using a wrestling term there, by making them look better than me in comparison.

I don’t think I’m giving up on everyone else and I don’t think I’m giving up on myself. I’m just giving up the things I’m truly tired of upkeeping and pretending to live in a life with what I know that I completely and continue to be, at severe odds with. And I’ve lived long enough to where I think on these things over and over to where I’ve come to the acceptance of my path and choice.

I’ve done all that I think I could for those who I cared for and try to care for. In the end, I can just say ‘I tried’.

Cell phones, when they had personality. The 2000s was such a good time for them, you had so many designs. Slide out keyboard, panels that can slide, sleek designs, some had actual buttons .etc

But we’re now relegated to just a varying series of rectangles and squares. Yay…

I’ve only registered to it when I feel I need to interact a little more than few on here. I’d last long enough until I’m shadowbanned or banned outright because of a report from an overly-sensitive redditard.

I keep registering just out of spite though because if Reddit cared about alts or shit, they’d re-tool their registration by now. But, Reddit never learns anything so why not keep abusing it.

It’s only been getting longer between times though before I consider re-registering again. Just playing the whole ban evading whack-a-mole with them. But I do make my feelings known time to time about Spez because that shithead can still go fuck himself and that stupid grin of his.

Retail stores.

Fuck your shopping ‘experiences’. People want to buy shit and get out. I saw at Wal-Mart recently these tables for ‘Customer Appreciation Day’. Fuck that shit.

I think it’s about as much of a power fantasy as World War 3. There’s been many incidents and events in the past 9 years that all could’ve sparked a WW3 or a Civil War. But none has happened and it hasn’t escalated to that level.

The modern world is more complicated than the 1800s. To have a Civil War now, we’d have to have issues where members of our army, police force .etc enact on political bias moreso than just individual case handlings. We’d have to have politicians from either said outright declaring the other party of being so unamerican that they start drawing lines.

Stuff like that. I almost wish we’d have a Civil War so we can get out all of this dumb, pent up, boiling shit over with. But my hopes aren’t high.

Will it last?

That’s always been my concern. I’ve seen a lot of great alternatives come up over the years, some last a few years, but some also have lasted a couple months. I think the Fediverse as a concept and as an idea will last a lot longer than anything that branches off from it. So even if Lemmy dies or KBin goes or something else. There will always be a Fediverse and something will come off from it that will continue.

2022 Kia Sportage.

I was forced into leasing it for 4 years so thankfully I don’t own it nor am I financing to own it. The thing is a gas guzzling piece of shit. The parts for it are ridiculously expensive, including getting the tires. There’s not really a thing about it that I like.
