Are the libs even making this argument? I thought genocide was too spicy for them now

Growing up poor, and eventually working my way into a tech job dealt me a long stream of culture shocks. Just socialising with people earning over 100k is wild. The vacations, hobbies, and even anecdotes, are all so different than what I imagined. I feel I betray my roots a thousand times a day.

I know this is just basic working class petit bourgeois stuff (that I'm part of), but the carefree attitude is so alien to me. I can't imagine feeling so entitled to luxury.

I don't know why it bothers me that it's "dead" hair, because effectively nothing has changed. It's like a pseudo wig that isn't trying to hide anything, which is super cool

I think it's a great target to aim for. That's an unfathomable income to most people, so it should at least have popular support

I both agree and disagree, because this comic is dangerously vague.

A good example is electric cars. It would be great if everyone switched to electric cars, but it would be even better if we built a city that didn't treat pedestrians, cyclists, and public commuters as second class.

The difference being the latter doesn't let private equity make fat returns.

And yes ofc we can both.

A bunch of my co-workers are situated in Iceland and, you joke, but they have had to leave the office twice because of risk of lava in about a year.

Which seems like a startlingly high number

This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.

But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.

For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we're talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn't feeling a thing).

Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like "welcome to withdrawal 2."

Still really happy I quit though. It's so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.
