The way I'm watching criminal minds and derek fucking morgan (from southside chicago) says "I'd never been to a cabin, much less a lake," like you lived in fucking Chicago on Lake fucking Michigan. Being from the Southside doesn't mean you've never been to the Lake. The City was founded around The Lake. The Lake is a huge fucking thing people go to in the summer. I have no doubts your mother (who worked a lot) just told you and your sisters to go to The Lake during the summer when you were out of school. You've seen a Fucking Lake

Fucks me up jobs expect workers to show up despite wild circumstances. I remember at a former job having to traverse sub zero temperatures just to walk to my job because they refused to close the building. I remember having to work front line in covid as an immune compromised individual with no vaccine produced yet and when concerns were expressed, my superiors responded with "when workers get infected, these parts of the building will be closed". God forbid you lose a family member. You're expected to show up anyway.
Today my boss told me to contact an office to confirm if a doctor has his papers in order. I say: they won't pick up, and he asks why, to which I responded: THEY WERE IN DIRECT LINE OF MILTON, YOU KNOW, THE DEVISTATING HURRICANE PART 2?? WHY WOULD THEY PICK UP???

Hi, I started this fundraiser, Support REVo and Partner in Tough Times, on GoFundMe and it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to it.

The reason why I'm so adamant about separating "earning money from your work" from "capitalism" is, firstly, that capitalism spreads the lie that "money = capitalism, so capitalism exists since money was invented and will exist until money fades out", making it look way more universal and strong that it actually is (capitalism is actually a development from 18th century free market ideology meeting freaking colonialism, so it's very recent and has a very spotty past).
But what gets me is that this association of capitalism with money, salaries and trading makes it so every time an artist sees how screwed we all are by this system and denounces it, they lock themselves out of financial support. Everyone start to spew vitriol about how you shouldn't take money since you hate capitalism so much, like the two things are equivalent.
You know what kind of people think that someone asking for payment in exchange for a service is fundamentally greedy, it doesn't matter how reasonable the price is?
Slave. Owners.
They are the ones who think every service should be provided for people who HAVE to work for them whenever they want, however degrading it might be, and for NO PAY WHATSOEVER. And that providing those workers with the bare minimum food and shelter instead of letting them die and buying new slaves is charity.
In every non-slave society, it IS expected that goods and services will be traded for fair rates. Criticizing capitalism has nothing to do with buy or selling things, it has nothing to do with believing that money, or trading, or advertising shouldn't exist. It has to do with criticizing a system that treat workers like uppity slaves that should be happy that they get a ridiculously low salary for brutal hours of work and aren't legally bound 24/7 to the whims of their employer anymore. What more should they want??? After all, if they get more money and free time they will blow it all in drugs and depravities anyway. Hey, y'all, are we sure those people shouldn't be legally bound 24/7 to the whims of their employer? For their own good?
So, by all means. Charge whatever you want to charge (or DON'T charge if you don't want to), buy iPhones, advertize like crazy and criticize capitalism at every single corner. The only ones who are hypocrites when they criticize capitalism are the capitalist themselves.
(And "capitalists" aren't all bosses. Capitalists are bosses who don't have to work. They make their whole living from the profits of other people's work (i.e., the capital). They are people who live from the interest the bank pays for their inheritance money, or from the rent paid by their 5 or more tennants, or from loaning some money to a company - "investing" on it - on a non-limited interest rate, siphoning that company's profits like crazy without ever lifting a finger to make it better. Sometimes, actively making it worse by imposing ridiculous conditions for their loan... *cough* investment. What, you thought interest in investments come from thin air, like magic? It's thinly disguised loan-sharking, my guys.
Your boss that will be broken in the streets if their bakery/youtube channel/print service fails isn't a capitalist, they are just a commoner providing goods and services like you, and they are in for a rude awakening if they think they can get away with acting like the local lord on the long run.)

Saw Strange World yesterday and can confirm it is Very Good. *mild spoilers*
I loved how it started out hitting me in the nostalgia with the Golden Age comics inspired sequence at the beginning, and then kept that up with a very Jules Verne/Conan Doyle's Lost World feel. They never betrayed this nostalgia, but as the movie went on it started showing cracks in these types of adventure tales and how they present violent exploration positively, and the effects of that.
The complex multigenerational father son dynamics were excellent and nuanced. I loved how they slowly built up the similarities between Yaeger and Searcher, and while they had different methods for it they both engaged in above mentioned violence and environmental destruction.
The messages, especially the environmental and anti-industrialization ones, were certainly not subtle, but I'm ok with that.
And seeing a queer main character in a big screen animated disney movie? I wept.

Is it even possible to buy a pokemon game at a reasonable price anymore?
Even the secondhand ones can be over £50, some are MORE than the recently released ones (which are also overpriced considering the quality imo)

Crying screaming throwing up how do you know people's typing styles so good?????
it's like recognizing bits of how they talk, or their tone of voice, or their artstyle, for example. sort of like a signature- it's distinct and somewhat identifying. some people type like they talk, and some don't! most identifying things that distinguish one person's typing style from another is usually their usage of things like punctuation and capitalization, as well as the expressions and sayings they use. certain things about how/what people type stick out to me more than others. my specific typing style changes from time to time, because on one hand i am a huge freak when it comes to grammar, but on the other, i am a very emotional and expressive person when it comes to my interests/friends.
